MINUTES-Draft <br />ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH <br />October 25, 2017 <br />S:\Managers Working Files\BOH\Agenda & Abstracts\2017 Agenda & Abstracts/ October Page 4 <br />Dr. Cilenti discussed the recommended changes to the FY 17-18 Health Department budget as <br />the Department is required to bring changes to the overall budget appropriation to the Board of <br />County Commissioners for approval before they can be entered officially in the county’s <br />financial system, Munis. <br /> <br />The three amendments were: <br /> <br /> BCCCP (Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Program) <br />The Health Department has received notification of an increase in state BCCCP funds of <br />$5,610, which will be used for providing an increased number of breast and cervical <br />cancer x-rays for qualifying patients. <br /> <br /> Family Planning Program <br />The Health Department has received notification of a decrease of $20,095 in funding for <br />the Family Planning program due to a federal decrease in Maternal and Child Health <br />funds. These funds would have been used for pharmacy supplies for the Family <br />Planning program. The Health Department will continue to provide the same level of <br />service within the Family Planning program and will offset this loss in funding by utilizing <br />savings from other programs, savings from General Fund funded expenses, and by <br />seeking additional revenue sources. <br /> <br /> MDPP (Minority Diabetes Prevention Program) <br />This technical amendment reduces funding to the Minority Diabetes Prevention Program <br />by a net of $9,000. In the FY2017-18 Budget Ordinance Amendment #1, revenues <br />related to the Minority Diabetes Prevention Program were erroneously increased by <br />$12,050. The Department’s original budget already accounted for this revenue, as the <br />Department was notified in time to include in its original budget request. Since the <br />adoption of the FY2017-18 Budget and the approval of Budget Ordinance Amendment <br />#1, the Health Department has received notification of an additional $3,050 in Minority <br />Diabetes Prevention Program grant revenues. This technical amendment reverts the <br />revision that was approved in Budget Ordinance Amendment #1 and includes the <br />addition of the $3,050 in new funding, which will be used to provide additional training <br />and supplies to members of the program. <br /> <br /> <br />The BOH had questions that were addressed by Dr. Cilenti. <br /> <br />B. Elections (Chair and Vice-Chair) <br /> <br />Liska Lackey, Chair, stated that the positions of Chair and Vice-Chair are open. She also <br />prefaced that by stating that it is customary for the current Vice-Chair to occupy the Chair <br />position because of the experience gained as Vice-Chair. Ms. Lackey informed the BOH <br />members that interested persons should contact her or current Vice-Chair, Susan Elmore. BOH <br />members will vote to select the Chair and Vice-Chair at the November meeting. <br /> <br /> <br />The BOH had questions that were addressed by Ms. Lackey. <br /> <br />C.
