During FY 1992-93, this yearly contractual support, Document No. C4000014, is anticipated to exceed $2 4 million. Although this TDH Contract has a fiscal year "1994" designation, some of the attachments start as early as February, 1993. The terms of the Local Health Services umbrella contract are contained in the General Provisions for Texas Department of Health Contracts. Also included in the originating contract is the first grant contract renewal for this fiscal year, Attachment O1, which provides $238,513.00 in financial assistance for the provision of Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) Clinic services. The interim funding for this attachment was approved by Council on M&C G-9783 on 08-18-92. Throughout the fiscal year, as existing grant contracts expire, renewal applications are required to continue programming support from TDH. Traditional- ly, as yearly contract periods expire, delays in contract renewal approval and execution processes within both governmental agencies result in periods when there are programs operating without authorized funding.- When this occurs, expenditures continue to be charged to expired contracts and are then backed out and charged to current contracts when monies are actually received from TDH. This expenditure transfer process is a labor intensive endeavor for both Public Health and Fiscal Services staff. TDH auditors have also cited this practice as being inconsistent with the contracts' fiscal reporting requirements. If approved by Council, the recommendations will eliminate the necessity of charging expenditures to expired contracts and manually backing out these charges at a later date. By utilizing the unrese-rued, undesignated fund of the General Fund for interim financing (50% of projected contract totals), projects and appropriations for anticipated grant contracts will be established prior to the expiration of current contracts. Upon receipt of TDH monies, the unreserved, undesignated fund of the General Fund will be reimbursed in the amount of $751,349.00. Authorized funding will be uninterrupted and the time-consuming process of transferring expenditures eliminated. This interim financing method was approved by Council for last year's TDH grant contracts. All interim Health Department grant contract funding to date has been reimbursed to the General Fund~';s unreserved, undesignated fund. Also l`ast`year, 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 -~1 Printed on recycled paper City of Fort Worth, Texas Mayor and Council C'cnrcmunication _~~ ~ ~ 02/02/93 "~~ ~.,~..~~ ~..,~~~.,~~,~;~C-13683 "'° '"~'~'` 50TDHLHS r~u~ 3 of 5 SUBJECt TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH (TDH) FY 92-93 LOCAL HEALTH SERVICES CONTRACT WITH THE PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT funds from personnel categories, resulting in reductions in staff and services.
