BACKGROUND: Ordinance 0578-2014, approved by City Council on March 24, 2014, authorized the Board of Health to enter into a contract with Southeast, Inc. in the amount of $473,332.00 for the provision of social support services for people living with HIV/AIDS in Delaware, Fairfield, Franklin, Licking, Madison, Morrow, Pickaway, and Union counties for the Ryan White Part A HIV Care Program for the contract period of March 1, 2014 through February 28, 2015.
