The contract amount is reduced by mutual agreement to $8,000 <br />per year since more of the children than planned have private dentists <br />providing their care after the initial screening. Staff requested the <br />contract be approved and forwarded to the Board of Commissioners for <br />action. <br /> <br />B. Renewal of Graduate Program Resident Agreement with UNC School of <br />Dentistry <br /> <br />The Orange County Health Department annually contracts with the UNC <br />School of Dentistry for services of one full-time equivalent dental resident <br />for four and one-half days per week. The residents provide services at <br />both the Hillsborough and the Carrboro dental clinics. The total cost of <br />the contract for July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009 is anticipated to be <br />$52.914, a 3% increase. We will not know the exact amount until the <br />legislature establishes state salary increases. <br /> <br />C.
