Agenda Item Number: <br /> ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH <br /> AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY <br /> Meeting Date: February 26, 2020 <br /> Agenda Item Subject: FY 2020-20 Budget Request <br /> Attachment(s): Budget Request & Summary <br /> Staff/Board Member Reporting: Quintana Stewart <br /> Purpose/Recommended Action: Action/Approve <br /> _X_ Action/Approve & forward to Board of Commissioners <br /> Information with possible action <br /> Accept as information <br /> Revise & schedule for future action <br /> Summary Information: <br /> The proposed FY 2020-2021 budget for the Health Department presents an increase in <br /> expenditures of $143,975 from the FY 20-21 Base Budget; all of which are related to an <br /> increase in permanent staffing (5.0 new FTEs and 1.0 FTE converted from Time Limited to <br /> Permanent, supported by re-allocated county general funds, fees for service, Medicaid Cost <br /> Settlement, and new County General funds). Staff projects a $99,354 increase in revenues for <br /> FY 20-21, which will partially offset the expenditure increase. The Health Department will <br /> request a County General Fund request in FY 20-21 of $44,621. <br /> The proposed total budget is $11,074,200. <br /> New Staff Requests <br /> The Health Department requests to convert previously allocated contract services funds for an <br /> IT Support Analyst to a permanent IT Support Analyst as we have been unable to recruit for <br /> this position as a contractor. This position will be fully funded by existing, reallocated County <br /> General Funds. The department has requested to add a Mobile Dental Clinic (MDC) <br /> Coordinator and Administrative Support I (to provide administrative assistance in the medical <br /> clinics) during the current year. These positions are included in our budget request and will be <br /> fully funded by Medicaid Cost Settlement funds. The department requests to add two new <br /> positions that will each be partially funded by new User Fees and New County General Funds. <br /> The Dental Clinic would like to add a Dental Hygienist as an existing Dental Hygienist will <br /> serve on the Mobile Dental Clinic and we anticipate that adding a new Hygienist will enable the <br /> Dental Clinic to maintain the current patient load and not extend wait times for new/return <br />
