Explanation

Ordinance 0554-2014, approved by City Council on March 10, 2014, authorized a modification to this contract to increase funding by $225,000.00 and extend the contract period through December 31, 2014 for the continued work with the development of the Greater Columbus Infant Mortality Task Force.

This modification is needed to provide the continuation of work without interruption on the Greater Columbus Infant Mortality Task Force.

Emergency action is requested for this contract modification in order to ensure that the work on the Greater Columbus Infant Mortality Task Force is not interrupted.
