<br /> budgeted and expended to further the objectives of the program that generates the
<br /> funds.
<br /> Related to the Medicaid Maximization funds, the Health Department requests the use of
<br /> a portion of these funds ($22,700) for the following two departmental projects:
<br /> • Innovations Project ($20,000) — this project, established by the Board of Health as a
<br /> result of the 2011 Community Health Assessment, will fund innovative projects and
<br /> activities to address priority health issues in the community, such as Access to Care,
<br /> Childhood and Family Obesity, and Substance Abuse/Mental Health.
<br /> • Accreditation Project ($2,700) — the department will be seeking re-accreditation this
<br /> fiscal year. Although funding for accreditation was eliminated by the State this year, it
<br /> is still a required standard for all health departments. These funds will be used to
<br /> cover the re-accreditation fee no longer covered by the State.
<br /> Both of these projects qualify for the use of Medicaid Maximization funds as stated
<br /> above. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of the additional funds, allows
<br /> for the use of a portion of Medicaid Maximization funds for two departmental projects
<br /> within the General Fund, and amends the Capital Project Ordinance as follows: (See
<br /> Attachment 1, column 4)

<br /> $12,012, from the NC State Board of Elections, to make all polling locations accessible to
