Explanation
BACKGROUND: Columbus Public Health has applied for a grant from the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) to fund the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program for the period October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013. WIC is a supplemental nutrition program for women (pregnant, postpartum and breastfeeding), infants, and children under the age of 5 years, and provides invaluable assistance for families during their children's period of growth and development.
The WIC budget provides $199,947.20 for the lease of real property to be used as clinic space for the delivery of services under the WIC program. Because of the anticipated delays in getting the new WIC Grant Project established, in order to continue the WIC leases and pay rent per the terms of the leases without delay, this Ordinance authorizes the expenditure of $199,947.20 from the Health Special Revenue Fund. The Health Special Revenue Fund will then be reimbursed for this expenditure upon receipt of the Notice of Award for the WIC Program from ODH and recipt of the grant funds.
This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Department of Finance and Management to execute new leases for two properties whose current leases contain no additional renewals and will expire on September 30, 2012.
