BACKGROUND: Through the consolidated contract, the state has provided $6,000 annually for the Environmental Health Department. In addition the state collects fees for food and lodging inspections. An initial allotment of $750 to each local health department is supplemented mid-year by an additional allocation based on county compliance with mandated inspections of food and lodging facilities. These funds have not been processed until now pending a final decision on the waste water treatment operating systems program. However the deadline for submitting the contract amendments is rapidly approaching,, therefore these funds must be accepted now. The $6,000 will be used to offset county funding for Environmental Health salaries. The county budget already includes $3,000 for food and lodging. The balance from the total food and lodging allocation of $4,900 is $1,900 which will be used to provide a scanner and related software for the Environmental Health Department. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the fund be accepted and the Chair be authorized to sign the budget forms and the contract amendment. 2 v Y State of of North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources 512 North Salisbury Street • Raleigh, North Carolina 27604 James B Hunt, Jr., Governor February 22, 1993 Jonathan B. Howes, Secretary MEMORANDUM TO: Local Health-Directors FROM: Richard K. Rowe, Director / SUBJECT: Funds for Environmental Health rograms and Services at the Local Level The N. C. General Assembly has ratified legislation allowing each county health department to receive funds for environmental health programs. This year $6000 per county will be available. Completion of DEHNR Forms 2948 (Budget Form) and 3300 (Contract Addendum) will be used as a way to initiate the process of allocating these funds. As soon as possible, please complete the enclosed forms, including signatures for your county finance officer and you, and return them to the Division of General Services. In determining objectives to be achieved as a result of this funding, you should consider that the funds were appropriated to support local environmental health programs which have been given by the legislature to local health departments for implementation. During 1993-94 these funds should be used to augment the environmental health budget and not to supplant locally generated or appropriated funds. Training should be one of the top priorities. We have discussed the needs for personnel to be up to date in all environmental programs and this would certainly help in getting environmental health staff educated. Other appropriate uses include: (1) salary adjustments for sanitarians; (2) computer hardware and software; (3) clerical support for environmental health; (4) environmental health related audiovisual aids and equipment; (5) environmental health technical journal subscriptions and reference books; and (6) technical equipment such as engineer levels, tripods, rods, concrete testing rebound hammers, metal detectors, sludge judges, pocket pH meters, recording thermometers, water activity meters, pasteurization testing equipment, and black lights. Of course, there are other uses which would also be quite acceptable. In any event, it should be remembered that this appropriations for environmental programs and development of personnel to carry these out. P.O.
