3 Adopt the attached supplemental appropriations ordinances increasing appropriations in the
General Fund and decreasing the unreserved undesignated fund balance of the General
Fund by 5373,067 for interim financing costs pending the execution of Texas Department
of Health (TDH) grant contract renewals for the WIC and M&CH programs activities, and

appropriations in the Grant Fund by 51,492,269 from available funds, and

DISCUSSION
The Texas Department of Health (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,
1996 The Department's WIC program grant contract expires September 30, 1996 TDH has
authorized contract renewals for these programs, however, renewal contracts have yet to arrive
for execution
The 5373,067 requested in interim financing will fund these two programs for three months
pending (renewal) contracts execution WIC interim financing needs are 5273,067 M&CH
interim financing needs total 5100,000

SUBJECT INTERIM FINANCING FOR' TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH-SUPPORTED HEALTH
DEPARTMENT PROGRAMS (WlC AND M&CH)
Upon execution of the WIC and M&CH grant contracts, the 5373,067 will be transferred back
to the unreserved, undesignated fund balance of the General Fund
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 Based
on an indirect cost rate of 23 48%, indirect cost allocations would total 5350,385 of anticipated
TDH funding for these two projects
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION
The Director of Fiscal Services certifies that upon adoption of the attached appropriations
ordinance and approval of the funds transfer, funds required for interim financing will be available
in the Grants Fund After completion of this transfer, the unreserved, undesignated fund balance
will be $28,395,578
The Director of Fiscal Services further certifies that upon execution of the WIC and M&CH
contracts, the 5373,067 utilized as interim financing will be transferred back to the unreserved,
undesignated fund balance of the General Fund
