<br />
<br /> B. Presentation of FY2000 –2001 Budget Request
<br />
<br />Dr. Rosemary Summers presented the Budget as outlined. The main issues effecting the
<br />Budget are reorganization of the department; and declining Medicaid revenues. The addition of
<br />the overtime line item in the Environmental Health Division, and the addition of a new
<br />department, although it was funded by shift of personnel in the reorganization process, will also
<br />impact the budget. A new fee structure system, extension of Physician Services Contract from
<br />5 FTD to 7 FTD, an increase in lab, pharmacy, and medical supplies, and a few capital requests
<br />for equipment replacement were also cited as changes.
<br />
<br />Grants we have right now are Smart Start, Community Health Awareness Project, Intensive
<br />Home Visiting, Pre-School Dental Screening Project, and Syphilis Elimination Project funds, a
<br />grant from CDC and the State
<br />
<br />Our total budget request for 2000-2001 is for $4,969,722.00, a 3.67% increase from last year.
