Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Board of Health has been awarded additional grant funds from the Ohio Department of Health for the Public Health Infrastructure program in the amount of $89,325. These additional funds will allow for reimbursement of smallpox-related expenses that have already occurred prior to the grant ending date of August 30, 2003. The purpose of this legislation is to accept and appropriate these funds for the period ending December 31, 2003. The primary objective of the Public Health Infrastructure program is to develop an infrastructure system to address terrorism and bio-terrorism activities should they occur in central Ohio.
