Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department has been awarded additional grant funds from the Ohio Department of Health for the STD Control grant program in the amount of $17,740. These additional funds will allow for the continued operation of the STD Control grant program. The purpose of this legislation is to accept and appropriate these additional funds to conduct the STD Control Program for the period of January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009.

The STD Control program enables the Columbus Health Department to identify and prevent sexually transmitted diseases through gonorrhea culture screening, syphilis elimination, gonococcal isolate surveillance, and partner services. Additionally, the Columbus Health Department assures the quality of medical and laboratory services, surveillance, partner services, and data management. All activities are conducted with special emphasis on populations at high risk such as correction facilities, organizations focusing on adolescents, and managed care settings.

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 STD Control Program is entirely funded by the Ohio Department of Health. This program does not generate revenue nor require a City match.
