3 <br />The availability of a State grant would enable the Health Department to implement <br />one new Maternity Care Coordinator position during the existing fiscal year <br />without requiring any County tax dollars to support the position while waiting <br />for the Medicaid revenue to be generated. The demand for the services is <br />increasing at such a rate that there will certainly be a request for a revenue- <br />funded position in the next fiscal year. Failing to apply for the up -front <br />money, by the application deadline of January 15, 1992, would simply forego the <br />opportunity of having the working capital funded by the State. <br />Notices of'grant award will probably not be sent out until the end of February, <br />making it unlikely that a new position could be implemented until March 16, 1992. <br />This leaves 3 1/2 months until the end of the fiscal year. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Health Department be <br />stater ;aenew, temporary, Maternity Care Coordinator the <br />grant. if funded by the <br />established through June 30, 1992. The continuation of thins position for FY 92- <br />93 would be evaluated based on Medicaid revenues generated and the caseload <br />demand experienced. <br />
