Explanation

BACKGROUND: Section 2 of Ordinance No. 0497-2008, approved by City Council on April 7, 2008, authorized the Board of Health to enter into a revenue contract with Franklin County Children Services for their Family Ties program. This ordinance is needed to appropriate $65,000 in grant money to fund the Family Ties program for the period April 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008.
