MINUTES ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH April 27, 2011 Board of Health Minutes Transcription completed by Lisa Smith April 27, 2011 3 Contract Renewal with UNC School of Dentistry for Graduate Dental Resident: The Orange County Health Department (OCHD) annually contracts with UNC School of Dentistry for services of one full-time equivalent graduate dental resident for four and one-half days per week. The residents serve the clinic on a rotating four week basis. The total cost of the contract for July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012 is anticipated to be $54,848. This amount was included in the 2011-12 dental budget. This contract cannot be fully executed until the state legislature passes their budget and the rate may be higher therefore. Dental residents are treated as employees of the School of Dentistry and as such may have increases in required insurance premiums that will be reflected in the final contract. Contract Renewal with Chapel Hill Training & Outreach, Inc. for Head Start Dental Services: In 2003, Chapel Hill Training and Outreach, Inc. approached the health department with a request to provide required dental screening and treatment services to all children enrolled in the Head Start Program located in Hillsborough. The first contract for services was developed and issued in the fall of 2003 and the program has worked well for both entities. Both parties wish to renew this contract for services for the coming fiscal year. The contract amount is $6,000 – same as last year. We are anticipating that this may be the last year for this contract as most of the children enrolled in Head Start have a regular dentist already. Contract Renewal with Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools for School Nurses Contract Renewal with Orange County Schools for School Nurses: Since July 2004, the Health Department has served as the conduit of Commissioner-approved funding for school health nurses for both the Chapel Hill-Carrboro and Orange County School Systems. The Health Department enters into a contract with each of the school systems to spend the funding on a specified number of direct service 10-month school nurse positions in conjunction with the annual Memorandum of Agreement. In FY 11-12, the proposed contract with CHCCS provides $433,875 for six school health nurses – an increase of $5843 primarily due to retirement and health insurance costs. The proposed contract with OCS provides $200,457 for three school health nurses – an increase of $17,760 due to retirement/health insurance costs and an increase in salary of a nurse due to her earning school nurse certification. The total for both school systems equals $634,332, an increase of $23,603 (4%). Per the contract, the Health Department makes quarterly payments upon submission of an invoice and provides at least three continuing education sessions to school nurses. All contracts have been included in the proposed 2011-2012 budget that the Board of Health has approved and forwarded to the County for inclusion in the approved 2011-2012 county budget Motion to forward the contracts to the Board of Commissioners for approval for the fiscal year 2011-2012 as made by Chris Harlan, seconded by Christopher Cooke, and carried without dissent. C. Interim Health Director Contract The County Attorney is finalizing a contract for the Interim Health Director. It is expected to be available at the first of the week. This item will be discussed in a closed session.
