Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department has been awarded a continuation grant from the Ohio Children's Trust Fund through the Kids in Different Systems agency. 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, 2006 through June 30, 2007
