Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department has been awarded a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $1,000 in grant money to help fund the 2009 Farmer's Market.

The Farmer's Market helps to increase access to economically priced fresh fruits and vegetables for the Near Eastside neighborhoods. This grant will assist in the printing of promotional materials to promote food stamp access.

This grant is for the period June 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009, in an amount not to exceed $1,000.

Emergency action is requested 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: This Farmer's Market is partially funded by the City of Columbus and partially through contributions from the Ohio State University. This grant will further contribute to the operation of the market. The City operating fund portion is budgeted in the Health Special Revenue Fund, Fund 250. This program does not generate revenue or require a City match.
