Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Board of Health has been awarded grants from the Central Ohio Breathing Association and the Ohio Commission on Minority Health. This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $37,030.00 in grant money to fund the Quit for Good Tobacco Cessation program for the period November 1, 2003 through October 31, 2004 and $2,000 for the Minority Health Month program for the period November 1, 2003 through April 30, 2004.
