Explanation
Columbus Public Health has been awarded a grant from the Ohio Commission on Minority Health. This ordinance is needed to accept the funding of $4,000.00 in grant monies for the Minority Health Local Conversations grant program for the period of July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.
The Minority Health grant program enables Columbus Public Health to work to eliminate differences in health status between racial and ethnic minority and non-minority populations by providing leadership and guidance on best ways to address racial and ethnic health disparity and specific health needs of racial and ethnic minority groups. The purpose of the Local Conversations Grant is to have local conversations discussing needs and disparities in the City in order to continue to develop our Minority Health Program.
This ordinance is submitted as an emergency so delay in service does not occur since the grant started July 1, 2015.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Minority Health Local Conversations grant program is partially funded by the Ohio Commission on Minority Health and requires a City match that is budgeted in Health’s Operating Fund, Fund No. 250.
