Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department has been awarded a grant from the Ohio Department of Health. This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $198,861 in grant money to fund the Breast and Cervical Cancer (BCCP) grant program.

The BCCP program enables The Columbus Health Department to provide breast and cervical cancer screenings, referrals and follow-up, case management and public education. These services are provided to women in Franklin County and its seven contiguous counties who are 40 years and older, uninsured and with income at or below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines. Special efforts are made to reach racial and ethnic minorities.

This grant is for the period June 30, 2008 through June 29, 2009.

Emergency action is requested 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.
