Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department has been awarded a grant from the American Public Health Association. This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $5,000 in grant money to fund the Teen Traffic Safety grant program, for the period October 1, 2007 through September 30, 2008.

The Teen Traffic Safety program will coordinate the meeting of an interdisciplinary team, including members from around Franklin County to increase seat belt use, decrease teens' access to alcohol, and improve the overall traffic safety behavior of the students attending Franklin Heights High School and Groveport Madison High School.

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 funds needed to cover personnel expenses to
operate the Teen Traffic Safety Program will be entirely funded by the Safe
Communities grant. This grant does not generate revenue or require a City match.
