Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department has been awarded a grant from the Ohio Department of Public Safety. This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $122,400 in grant money to fund the Safe Communities grant program, for the period October 1, 2007 through September 30, 2008.
