Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department has been awarded a grant from the Columbus Medical Association Foundation. This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $10,000 to fund the Unnatural Causes Grant Program, for the period February 1, 2008 through January 31, 2009. The purpose of the grant is to educate people and raise awareness of the extent and root causes of health inequities by building alliances with other stakeholder groups and by mobilizing constituencies.

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 Unnatural Causes Grant Program is partially funded by the Columbus Medical Association Foundation. The personnel working on the grant project are budgeted in the Health Special Revenue Fund. This program does not generate revenue or require a City match.
