PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT The purpose of this M&C is to authorize renewal of the TDH Local Health Services Contract with twelve attachment renewals, and to arrange interim financing for five of the twelve renewal agreements The terms of the Local Health Services umbrella contract are contained in the General Provisions for Texas Department of Health Contracts As existing grant contracts expire, renewal applications are required to continue programming support from TDH As approved by Council the past two years and requested again this year, the recommendations will eliminate the necessity of charging expenditures to expired contracts (while waiting on contract execution processes within both governmental agencies) and manually backing out these charges at a later date By utilizing the unreserved, undesignated fund of the General Fund for interim financing (50% of project contract totals), projects and appropriations for anticipated grant contracts will be established prior to the expiration of current contracts Upon receipt of the executed TDH contract, the unreserved, undesignated fund of the General Fund will be reimbursed in the amount of 5530,221 00 Authorized funding will be uninterrupted and the time consuming process of transferring expenditures eliminated All prior year Health Department grant contract funding has been reimbursed to the General Fund's unreserved, undesignated fund Such interim financing will be requested later in the year for other TDH grants, if needed 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 (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 5649,699 00 of anticipated TDH grant funding The following is a listing of five TDH grant contracts proposed for interim financing. proiect
