Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve Amendment #1 to Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) ADHS13-036322, STD Services, between the Arizona Department of Health Services and Cochise Health & Social Services, in the amount of $2,200, for the period of 1/1/13 – 12/31/13.
Background:
Cochise Health & Social Services has received funds from ADHS for many years to provide screening, laboratory testing, treatment, and follow-up for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) primarily Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, and Syphilis. Through this contract CCHD is minimally funded to ensure availability of STD care, treatment and services to our community.
These grant funds primarily subsidize the cost for the laboratory testing and treatment regimens for STDs. General Funded nursing staff provides these services based on a sliding fee schedule. The Nursing Division will continue to use ingenuity and fees collected in the provision of care as sources of funding to avoid impact on the General Fund budget in order to continue providing these services. The Health Department Director will inform the Board in advance of the time when these fees are no longer adequate or the impact on General Funds becomes unsupportable.
This amendment reduces the total amount of the award by $71.00 and adjusts various budget lines including adding a one dollar amount to Salaries & ERE which allows us to move at our discretion funds in the grant, up to 10%, into this line. With the change in fee structure this program does have some funds available to support salaries and ERE’s related to providing this service, and facilitates our ability to draw down the entirety of the grant.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Your approval is respectfully requested.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
Not approving this Amendment may cause the inability of the Health Department to collect all of the grant reimbursement for STD testing services from the ADHS, and could cause increase draw down of General Funds to support continuing services.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
BOS signature is not required. A fully executed will be sent to the Clerk of the Board for filing.
