Explanation
This ordinance authorizes the City Clerk to enter into a grant agreement with Columbus City Schools in support of the Columbus East High School Marching Band.

The Columbus East High School Marching Band provides an opportunity for students to practice music, community spirit, and dedication to their craft while serving their neighborhood through community events.
