Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department expects to be awarded a grant from the Ohio Department of Health. This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $935,528 in grant money and anticipated fee revenues and interest to fund the Child & Family Health Services grant program, for the period July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010. The delay in the State budget process is delaying the notice of award for this grant. The City Auditor will assign a grant number and OCA once a notice of award is received.

The Child & Family Health Services (CFHS) program coordinates services among agencies that provide perinatal services to children and women of childbearing age, including public health nursing services.
