MINUTES-Draft <br />ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH <br />February 22, 2017 <br />S:\Managers Working Files\BOH\Agenda & Abstracts\2017 Agenda & Abstracts/ February Page 3 <br /> <br /> <br />VI. Action Items (Non Consent) <br /> <br />A. 2017-18 Budget Proposal <br /> <br /> 2017-2018 Budget, Fee Schedule & Requested Changes <br /> <br />Dr. Bridger presented the Board with a summary of the proposed FY 2017-2018 budget for the <br />Health Department which shows an increase in expenditures of $1,037,687; $228,173 of which <br />are expenditure increases related to the FY 16-17 wage increase and county-initiated increases <br />to the staff salaries for compression adjustments, market rate changes, FLSA wage increases, <br />and a temporary position made permanent, which are outside of the control of the department. <br />The remaining $809,514 of the total increase is the amount the Health Department requests <br />from the county, which is made up of increases to staffing and service levels increases such as <br />for the Family Success Alliance (FSA) and enhanced medical services. This also includes <br />budget increases approved during the FY 16-17 budget process for the FY 15-16 wage <br />increases, a Public Health Educator, a men’s Primary Care program, and FSA-related <br />programming among others. Staff projects a $525,116 increase in revenues for FY 17-18, <br />which will offset much of the $809,514 requested expenditure increase. The total FY17-18 <br />Health Department request for County General Funds is $512,571. The proposed total budget <br />is $10,101,460 which includes $32,168 in grant funding for the Susan G. Komen program. <br /> <br />In relation to new staff requests, the Health Department requests a total of 4.5 FTE; a new 1.0 <br />FTE Data Systems Manager to provide ongoing data analysis for FSA and Personal Health <br />Services, a 1.0 FTE Senior Public Health Educator to assist FSA, and a 1.0 FTE Public Health <br />Program Manager to Coordinate Behavioral Health Services for the county. In addition, the <br />Health Department requests to make a temporary 0.5 FTE Communications Specialist <br />permanent (as recommended by HR), and to make a time limited 1.0 FTE Property <br />Development Tech permanent. The Health Department will fund all of these new positions with <br />non-County funds except for the Property Development Tech. <br /> <br />In relation to state funding, the state has provided us with the FY 17-18 Consolidated <br />Agreement Addenda. Even though we will no longer receive funding for Ebola or Prescription <br />Drug Prevention as we did in FY 16-17, we will receive additional funding for Family Planning <br />and Speech and Hearing. Changes in funding for all other, ongoing Health Department <br />programs equals out to the prior fiscal year. <br /> <br />In relation to fee changes, the FY 2016-2017 requested budget includes fee changes for the <br />Personal Health, Dental Health, and Environmental Health divisions. Staff recommends multiple <br />fee changes for Personal Health to add three new fees for Child Health as required by DHHS <br />and Medicaid, and adjust the fees for 340B drugs according to changes in the state and federal <br />policies around 340B drugs. In addition, Medicaid has recently added a new Dental fee to their <br />allowable fee schedule for scaling, which staff would like added to the Dental Health fee <br />schedule. Also, during the FY 15-16 budget cycle, the Board of Health voted to enact Phase I of <br />a three year phased Environmental Health fee increase in order to reach full cost recovery for <br />Environmental Health. Staff recommends enacting Phase III of the three year fee increase by <br />raising fees an additional 11% over last year’s increases. All proposed fee increases are <br />described in more detail in a separate Fee Change abstract. <br />
