Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department has been awarded additional grant funding from the Ohio Department of Public Safety. This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $1,000.00 in grant money to fund the Safe Communities grant program, for the period October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010, for a total grant award not to exceed $123,400.00. The additional funding will allow the program to hold educational programming and events in order to promote safe motorcycle riding.
The Safe Communities program provides expanded traffic safety services through the dissemination of safety awareness and education forums throughout Columbus and Franklin County.
This ordinance is submitted as an emergency so as to allow the financial transaction to be posted in the City's accounting system as soon as possible. Up to date financial posting promotes accurate accounting and financial management.
