BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Board of Health to accept and appropriate $14,000.00 in grant funds from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Ohio Department of Health. This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $14,000.00 in grant monies for the Occupant Protection Regional Coordination for the Ohio Buckles Buckeyes Site Stipend (OBB) grant program for the period of October 31, 2024 through June 30, 2025.
This project is to provide support for up to eight Occupant Protection Regional Coordinators (OPRC) to provide funding to their regional low-income car seat programs, the Ohio Buckles Buckeyes (OBB) program.
