Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department has been awarded additional grant funds from the Ohio Department of Health to fund the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Program in the amount of $100,112, for a total grant award in the amount of $4,484,773. The additional funding will allow the program to continue to offer the services being provided. The purpose of this legislation is to accept and appropriate these funds to conduct the WIC Program for the period October 1, 2006 through September 30, 2007.

Emergency action is requested in order to avoid any delays in providing program services.
