Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department has been awarded additional grant funds from the Ohio Department of Health for the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) grant program in the amount of $191,395, for a total grant award in an amount of $3,697,440. These additional funds will allow for continued services and additional staffing. The purpose of this legislation is to accept and appropriate these funds to conduct the WIC Program for the period of October 1, 2003 through September 30, 2004.

The primary objective of the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program is to provide nutritionally desirable food and nutrition education to pregnant and lactating women, infants and children at nutritional risk in Franklin County who meet categorical, income and nutritional risk requirements for eligibility. The goal of the program is to provide WIC certification and education services to at least 74% of the potentially eligible Franklin County WIC participants.

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.

FISCAL IMPACT: The WIC Program is entirely funded by the Ohio Department of Health. This program does not generate revenue or require a City match.
