Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department has been awarded a grant from the Ohio Department of Health. This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $135,000 in grant money to fund the Women's Health Initiative grant program, for the period July 1, 2004 through June 30, 2005.

The Women's Health Initiative program will allow for comprehensive women's health services including family planning. Eligible patients will include women from the CHD Perinatal Program at post partum and women who have had a negative pregnancy test through our walk-in pregnancy testing service.

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 Women's Health Initiative program is entirely funded by the Ohio Department of Health. This grant program does not generate revenue nor require a City match.
