Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department has been awarded a grant from the Centers for Disease Control, through the Center for Health Training. This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $15,000 in grant money to fund the Quality of Care (QOC) in STD Clinics grant program.

The Quality of Care (QOC) in STD Clinics grant program enables the Columbus Health Department to participate as a pilot site in monitoring the QOC in STD Clinics. The overall goal of this pilot program is to use the data and experiences from the pilot sites to inform next steps in the development and implementation of national QOC recommendations for STD clinics.

This grant is for the period beginning July 1, 2008 and will be ongoing.

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.

FISCAL IMPACT: This program is entirely funded by the Centers for Disease Control, through the Center for Health Training, and does not generate revenue nor require a City match.
