2 Human Resources 2. The Federal Early Retiree Reinsurance Program (ERRP) allows individual claims meeting a cost threshold of $15,000 and a cost limit of $90,000 to be submitted- for reimbursement. These funds must be used to defray health insurance premium or benefit costs and cannot be used as a general fund revenue item. This service will be contrac#ed with RDS Services (Retiree Drug Subsidy) who will submit the claims and receive a percentage of the subsidy recovered (see chart below). It is estimated that this could provide $12,200 net the fee charged by RDS, to help offset future health insurance increases. This budget amendment provides for a transfer of $10,000 from currently budgeted funds in the Health Insurance Increase non-departmental account to cover the retainer required by RDS. (See Attachment 1, column 2) Subsid Recovered Fee $0 to $100,000 20% $100,001 to $500,000 10% $500,001 to $2,000,000 5% Over $2,000,000 2% • Hnnuai maximum fee shall not exceed $2D0,000 Visitors Bureau 3. At its August 23, 2011 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners approved the FY 2011-12 Performance Agreement between the Town of Chapel Hill and the Visitors Bureau to receive an allocation of $150,000 from the Town of Chapel Hill. The Visitors Bureau's FY 2011-12 Approved Budget included anticipated revenue of $200,000 from the Town, so this budget amendment provides for the reduction of $50,000 in budgeted revenue- and advertising expense within the Visitors Bureau FY 2011-12 budget.

The Health Department has received notification of the receipt of a $5,000 grant award from the National Association of -Local Boards of Health (NALBOH) and the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO). The Department will use these funds to coordinate aone-day planning meeting with a team of 10 community agencies with a resulting action plan for sustaining local tobacco control efforts. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these grant funds for the above mentioned purpose. (See Attachment 1, column 4) 5. The Health Department has received notification from the State of reduced funding for FY 2011-12 for the following Smart Start supported grants: Child Care Health Consultant Grant -reduction of $9,652 (from $73,252 to $63,600). The impact of this reduction is nominal.

The Public Health Nurse was reassigned to a vacant position within the department.
