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
