Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department has been awarded additional grant funds from the Ohio Department of Health for the Public Health Emergency Preparedness program in the amount of $1,941,141. These additional funds will provide for H1N1 related services, staffing and supplies. The purpose of this legislation is to accept and appropriate these funds for the period ending August 31, 2010.
