Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Family Ties Program at Columbus Public Health (CPH) has maintained a revenue contract with the Franklin County Children Services (FCCS) Family Ties Program for over a decade. FCCS subcontracts with two additional providers, National Youth Advocate Program, Inc (NYAP) and Buckeye Ranch, Inc dba, Permanent Family Solutions Network (PFSN). These three agencies provide the funding for the Family Ties Program at CPH.
The Board of Health desires to continue this relationship with the Family Ties Program and their efforts to prevent child abuse and neglect. This ordinance authorizes three revenue contracts and the appropriation of $225,600.00 for the period January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012.
Emergency action is requested to avoid delays in providing necessary child abuse prevention services.
FISCAL IMPACT: In 2008 the terms of the revenue contract were revised such that Columbus Public Health services are now targeted only to Franklin County Children Services referrals. Under this contract FCCS, NYAP and PFSN will purchase home visiting services in an amount not to exceed $225,600.00 in 2012 for the period ending December 31, 2012. Monies received from these contracts will be deposited into the Health Department Grants Fund, Fund 251.
