PURPOSE: To give authorization to the County Health Director to sign Local
Health Department budget documents (DEHNR Form 2948)
BACKGROUND: In accordance with G.S. 130A-41. 13 the local Health Director
may, with County Commissioner approval, enter into contracts on behalf of
the local health department. One type of contractual document between
the State and the Orange County Health Department is the "Local Health
Department Budget" , DEHNR Form 2948. Under the present policy, the Chair
signs approximately 200 of these documents in one year. The proposed
procedural change would authorize the Health Director to sign these
forms in lieu of the Chair. Other contractual documents, such as
contracts between the Health Department and local service providers,
would continue to be reviewed and approved by the Board of
Commissioners. This procedure has been reviewed by Assistant County
Manager Rod Visser, Finance Director Ken Chavious and Budget Director
Sally Kost and approved as a more efficient and faster way of handling
these budget documents.
RECOMMENDATION(S) : The County Manager recommends that the Board authorize
the local Health Director to sign the Local Health Department Budget
documents as the Local Authorized Official effective immediately.
