RECOMMENDATION•
It is recommended that the City Council
1 Authorize the City Manager to accept and execute TDH grant contract renewals for
the WIC and Refugee Health programs, upon receipt, and
2 Adopt the attached supplemental appropriations ordinance increasing appropria-
tions by 5354,171 00 in the General Fund (GG01) and decreasing the unreserved,
undesignated fund balance of the General Fund by the same amount for interim
financing costs pending the execution of Texas Department of Health (TDH) grant
contract renewals for the WIC and Refugee Health programs, effective October 1,
1995, and
3 Approve the transfer of 5354,171 00 from the General Fund to the Grants Fund,
and
4. Adopt the attached appropriations ordinance, increasing estimated receipts and
appropriations in the Grants Fund by 5354,171 00 from increased revenue, and
5. Waive the collection of indirect costs, estimated for these two programs to be
5167,824 00 based on the current indirect cost rate of 23 48% in order for the
department to continue its current level of service delivery
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 Both the WIC and Refugee Health grant contracts
expired September 30, 1995. TDH has authorized contract renewals for these programs,
however, renewal contracts have yet to arrive for execution
The 5354,171 requested in interim financing will fund these two programs through
January, 1996 WIC interim financing needs are 5300,000 Refugee Health interim
financing needs total S54,171
Upon execution of the WIC and Refugee Health grant contracts, the 5354,171 will be
transferred back to the unreserved, undesignated fund balance of the General Fund

DEPARTMENT PROGRAMS, (WIC & REFUGEE HEALTH)
In recent years, all indirect costs associated with TDH grant contracts were waived by
City Council to maximize potential funding and prevent Public Health Department staff and
service reductions. Since TDH funding primarily supports personnel land 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 5167,824 00 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 fund transfe.c, funds required for interim financing will be
available in the Grants Fund After completion of this transfer, the unreserved,
undesignated fund balance will be S33,224,970.00
-The Director of Fiscal Services further certifies that upon execution of the WIC and
Refugee Health grant contracts, the 5354,171 utilized as interim financing will be
transferred back to the unreserved, undesignated fund balance of the General Fund
