Explanation
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this ordinance is to authorize the Board of Health to accept the donation of a 2005 Chevy Express Van G20 (VIN# 1GCGG25V651200957) from Safe Kids Fairfield County for the Columbus Public Health Childhood Injury Prevention Program. In a cooperative understanding between Safe Kids Worldwide, Columbus Public Health, Safe Kids Fairfield County and Safe Kids Mahoning Valley, Columbus Public Health will donate a 2000 Chevy Venture Van (VIN# 1GNDX03E1YD177379 - Brass Tag #21236) to Safe Kids Mahoning Valley. This Venture van was donated to the City of Columbus in October 1999 by the National Safe Kids Campaign.
This collaborative effort between the various Safe Kids Programs and Columbus Public Health allows for more child safety seats to be inspected and installed properly in Franklin County and throughout the State of Ohio.
Emergency action is requested in order to avoid any delays in providing the safety check program services.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Columbus Public Health Childhood Injury Prevention Program is receiving a donated vehicle from Safe Kids Fairfield County. In turn, Columbus Public Health/Safe Kids Franklin County is donating a vehicle to Safe Kids Mahoning Valley. No funds are involved or necessary for these donations, so there will be no fiscal impact.
