Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Board of Health was awarded a grant from the Ohio Department of Health to fund the Women, Infants, and Children (W.I.C.) Program. Ordinance number 0995-2007 authorized the Director of the Department of Finance and Management to purchase a mobile W.I.C. vehicle from Farber Specialty Vehicles using a State Term Contract, in an amount not to exceed $225,000. The Ohio Department of Health instructed that it will now purchase the mobile W.I.C. vehicle, and requested the return of $225,000 of grant funds originally encumbered under FL003671. This ordinance authorizes $225,000 appropriation in the grant to be transferred to Object Level One 05. This ordinance also authorizes the return of the $225,000 of unused grant funds to the Ohio Department of Health.
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 W.I.C. Grant program is entirely funded by the Ohio Department of Health and does not generate revenue or require a City match. With the cancellation of FL003671, $225,000 will be available for transfer from Object Level One 06 to Object Level One 05.
