Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Board of Health has been awarded grant funds from the Columbus Compact Corporation for the Project L.O.V.E. program. This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $47,000 for the period September 1, 2003 through August 31, 2004. The funds from Columbus Compact provide for the continuation of the special efforts toward increasing the levels of immunizations in the federally designated "empowerment zone." These efforts include outreach and education, expansion of immunization services, development of the immunization registry, training of empowerment zone residents, and distribution of informational materials. This ordinance is submitted as an emergency to allow the financial transaction to be posted in the City's accounting system as soon as possible.
