SUBJECT APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE AND INTERIM FINANCING FOR TEXAS DEPARTMENT
OF HEALTH-SUPPORTED HEALTH DEPARTMENT PROGRAM (MATERNAL & CHILD
HEALTH)
$400,000 for the FY 97 (Title V) M&CH program On June 17, 1997, TDH forwarded changes
#1 & #2 indicating that they were willing to raise the cap amount by $80,000 to $480,000 for
FY 97 TDH provides funding support to the Health Department in the form of grant contracts
Each year, as grant contracts expire, there is frequently a delay in receipt of contract renewals
The Health Department's M&CH grant contract expires August 31, 1997 TDH has authorized
a contract renewal for this program, however, a renewal contract has yet to arrive for execution
No City funds will be expended before the grant is approved Upon approval and acceptance of
the grant, City funds will be expended before receipt of grant funds
In recent years, all indirect costs associated with TDH grant contracts were waived by the City
Council to maximize potential funding and prevent Public Health Department staff and service
reductions Since TDH funding primarily supports personnel (and funding is typically constant
from year to year) the City's collection of indirect cost allocations would require a substantial
transfer of funds from personnel categories, resulting in reductions of staff and services
As the. City Public Health Department reorganizes, these funds will be used to support staffing
through a transition phase and remaining funds will be used to subcontract with the Tarrant
County Hospital District for assuming these functions
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION
The Director of Fiscal Services certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations,
adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance and execution of the contract, funds will be
available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, in the Grant Fund Upon execution
of the contract, the interfund loan will be returned to the General Fund
