2 <br /> As a result of the committee's findings, the Orange County Health <br /> Department submitted a proposal that would result in additional children <br /> being added to the Health Department's child service caseload and the <br /> existing services coordinated more effectively. The proposal submitted by <br /> the Orange County Health Department has been recommended by the local Smart <br /> Start Board and accepted by the Smart Start Program in the NCDHR. <br /> The Board of Health reviewed the contract at it's meeting of November 17, <br /> 1994, and recommended that the funding be accepted and a new, permanent, <br /> full-time PHN II position be established to carry out the work of the <br /> contract. The grant award in the amount of $23,821 dollars will be <br /> supplemented by Medicaid reimbursement for a portion of this positions <br /> caseload amounting to $3,600 dollars. This results in a total project <br /> budget for January 95- June 95, in the amount of $27,421 dollars. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S) : The Manager recommends that: <br /> 1. The Smart Start award to the Orange County Health <br /> Department in the amount of $23,821 dollars be <br /> accepted as a project grant; and <br /> 2. A new, permanent PHN II position be established, <br /> but that the continuation of the position be <br /> contingent on continued Smart Start funding; and <br /> 3. The Chair be authorized to sign the contract <br /> between the NCDHR and the OCHD. <br />
