Box 27687 • Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 -7687 <br />James G. Martin, Governor September 28, 1990 <br />William W. Cobey, Jr., 5ecrerary• Ann F ',Volfe, M.D., M.P. <br />Director <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Local Health Directors <br />FROM: Tom Vitaglione, Chief <, V. <br />Children & Youth Section <br />RE: Allocation for Child Service Coordination <br />Attached are the FY 90 -91 county allocations for the $1,152,000 in new <br />funds available for Child Service Coordination. These should be considered <br />as additions to the current funds you receive under the High ,Priority <br />Infant Program. <br />The $1,152,000 is composed of $592,000 in one -time federal funds under the <br />Maternal and Child Health Block Grant, and $560,000 in continuing state <br />funds available under P.L. 99 -457. Individual county allocations were <br />determined by a formula approved by the Association of Local Health Direc- <br />tors. Under this formula, 15% ($172,800) was allocated evenly, .25% <br />($288,000) was allocated based on your county's percentage of 1989 live - <br />births, and 60% ($691,200) was allocated based on your county's percentage <br />of the infants identified in the High Priority Infant Program in 1989. <br />Please note that, since approximately half of the additional funds are one- <br />time, your allocation for FY 91 -92 will be approximately half that of the <br />current fiscal year. However, an expansion budget request has been filed <br />for P.L. 99 -457 services, so there is some hope that child service coordi- <br />nation allocations will increase in the coming years. <br />Please submit a revision to your Child Health Budget to budget your alloca- <br />tion for Child Service Coordination. In addition, please complete and <br />submit the attached Contract Addendum. This will replace the addendum you <br />submitted earlier for the High Priority Infant Program. Both your budget <br />page and the new addendum should be forwarded to your regional office at <br />your earliest convenience. <br />Please note that the addendum requires that you sign an agreement to be the <br />coordinative agency for Child Service Coordination in your county. These <br />were distributed to you several weeks ago and should be returned directly <br />Ar. Equal Opoortuniry Affirmanve Anion Employer <br />
