Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department has been awarded a continuation grant from the Ohio Children's Trust Fund through the Franklin County Family and Children First Council. This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $82,371 in grant money to fund the In-Home Parenting program for the period July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008.
