White Cross Volunteer Fire Department Letter of Request PURPOSE: To approve budget and capital project ordinance amendments for fiscal year 2013- 14. BACKGROUND: Health Department 1. On June 30, 2013, the Health Department had unspent grants funds for the following programs that were received during FY 2012-13 and were earmarked as deferred revenue/in-flows for use in FY 2013-14: • Susan G. Komen Grant — receipt of $24,288 in Susan G. Komen for the Cure grant funds. In partnership with Piedmont Health Services, the department will be able to expand breast cancer screening access and diagnostic testing to eligible clients in order to increase early detection and treatment of breast cancer. • Anne Wolfe Mini-Grant — receipt of $2,945 in Anne Wolfe Mini-grant funds from the North Carolina Public Health Association. Funding for this grant allows current nursing staff to become Lamaze Childbirth Educators and begin offering Childbirth Education classes to prenatal patients and their partners. In addition to childbirth-specific information, classes will include education on a healthy pregnancy, including nutrition information, smoking cessation, substance abuse, avowing maternal infections including STDs, newborn care, breastfeeding, infant safe sleep, secondhand some exposure, and other relevant topics. 2 • Medical Reserve Corps Program — receipt of $807 from the National Association of City and County Health Officials (NACCHO) for training and support costs in support of the department's Medical Reserve Corps Program. • Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) Education Grant — receipt of $618 in grant funds to develop Teen Health Educator groups in County high schools for the period of February 1, 2013 — September 30, 2013. Along with this $618 in deferred in-flows, the department budgeted $4,286 in FY 2013-14 for this program. The effort will be modeled after the Tobacco Reality Unfiltered (TRU) group, which has been highly successful. The group will be trained in safe sex practices with a focus on appropriate referral sources for teens and the promotion of Human Papilloma Virus vaccine. Parental permission to participate will be required. (See Attachment 1, column 1) 2. The Health Department has received notification of its FY 2011-12 Medicaid Maximization Cost Settlement funds totaling $797,601. The Board of County Commissioners established a Medicaid Maximization Capital Project Ordinance in 1998 to allow for the receipt and use of these funds. The intent was to save and utilize the funds for renovation, capital building, equipment, and furnishings as needed by health and dental programs, thereby assisting the County in meeting service obligations to residents. In accordance with Federal and State regulations, these funds must be budgeted and expended to further the objectives of the program that generates the funds. Related to the Medicaid Maximization funds, the Health Department requests the use of a portion of these funds ($12,500)for the following departmental project: • Family Planning Patient Flow Analysis ($12,500) — This allocation will fund an Optimal Performance Project in the Family Planning program, conducted by the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation. The purpose of the project is to improve efficient provision of and access to Family Planning services in the community. This project qualifies for the use of Medicaid Maximization funds as stated above. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of the additional funds, allows for the transfer of $12,500 of these Medicaid Maximization funds for the departmental project within the General Fund (See Attachment 1, column 1), and amends the Capital Project Ordinance as follows: Medicaid Maximization: (Project#30012) Revenues for this project: FY 2013-14 FY 2013-14 FY 2013-14 FY 2013-14 Current Budget Amendment Amendment Revised Medicaid Maximization Funds $3,924,142 $797,601 ($12,500) $4,709,243 Total Project Funding $3,924,142 $797,601 ($12,500) $4,709,243 3 A ppropriated for this project: FY 2013-14 FY 2013-14 FY 2013-14 FY 2013-14 Current Budget Amendment Amendment Revised Medicaid Maximization Project $3,924,142 $797,601 $12,500 $4,709,243 Total Costs $3,924,142 $797,601 ($12,500) $4,709,243 3. At its June 26, 2013 meeting, the Board of Health reviewed and approved the addition of the Health Check Autism Assessment to the fee schedule. This procedure will only be performed in conjunction with Well Child visits only if certain risk factors are identified. The Health Department typically performs a small number of these procedures annually and anticipates recouping approximately $122-$163 from Medicaid based on a quantity of 15-20 Health Check Autism Assessments per year. Description Medicaid Reimbursement Orange County Health Rate Department Rate Health Check Autism $8.14 $8.14 Assessment (Maximum Medicaid Reimbursement Allowed The Board of County Commissioners amends the FY 2013-14 County Fee Schedule to include the above mentioned new fees in the Health Department. Staff will bring back a budget amendment item at a future meeting for the acceptance of revenues when received. Cooperative Extension 4. Cooperative Extension received revenue payments of $2,461 late in FY 2012-13 from apprentices for produce crates within the W. C. Breeze Farm program. These funds were earmarked as deferred revenue/in-flows for use in FY 2013-14. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these funds for use in FY 2013-14. (See Attachment 1, column 2) Orange Public Transportation 5. Orange Public Transportation received revenue of $28,192 in FY 2012-13 related to the Hillsborough Circulator route that were earmarked as deferred revenue/in-flows for use in FY 2013-14. The program, at fiscal year end of June 30, 2013, had not reached $198,000 in project costs for this route, which is the allowable 100% reimbursement amount from North Carolina Department of Transportation, so these funds of $28,192 were earmarked as deferred in-flows for use in FY 2013-14. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these funds in FY 2013-14. (See Attachment 1, column 3) White Cross Volunteer Fire Department 6. The White Cross Volunteer Fire Department has requested a portion of their district's available fund balance ($10,000) to be used to replace their current service company truck.

This truck will be a front line unit responding to all structural 4 alarms, large incidents and vehicle/machinery incidents. With this appropriation, approximately $9,450 remains in the district's unassigned fund balance.
