<br />3. PRESENTATION OF THE REQUESTED BUDGET, 1996-97 - Daniel B. Reimer, Health Director
<br />
<br /> Mr. Reimer, presented the Health Department FY96-97 budget. The total requested budget to the general fund is
<br />$3,990,277. This represents an increase of only two tenths of a percent over the previous year. The budget was
<br />developed according to new guidelines which were outlined in a memorandum from the County Manager dated
<br />January 4, 1996, and in subsequent directives from the Budget Department. A major change in the budget is
<br />reflected in the consolidation of the Personal Health Services Division program budgets into one overall divisional
<br />budget. Each division was reviewed and their proposed changes. Following reviews, the board requested the
<br />development of supplemental proposals for the use of Medicaid revenue, particularly in the Personal Health section.
<br />The Board and the Health Director commended the division directors and staff for their creativity in translating key
<br />workload indicators into quantitative results which can be used to measure the impact of services.
<br />
<br />Beverly Foster motioned to approve the proposed budget and request the development of supplemental
<br />proposals for the use of Medicaid revenue. The motion was seconded by Barbara Chavious and passed
<br />unanimously.
<br />
<br />The budget will be forwarded to the Budget Department on March 15, 1996.
<br />
<br /> 4. CLOSED SESSION TO CONSIDER A PERSONNEL MATTER
<br />
<br /> Janet Southerland motioned to go into closed session pursuant to G.S. 153A-98 for discussion of a
<br />personnel issue. The motion was seconded by Alice Gordon and passed unanimously. At the conclusion of
<br />the closed session, a motion was made by Barbara Chavious and seconded by Ron Cammarata to close the
<br />executive session. The motion carried unanimously.
