Eddie Olivarez discussed the Hidalgo County Community Health Fund District and its funding and benefits to County. He explained that in November there will be a Constitutional Amendment that is looking at formalizing a Hospital District (which may become the taxing entity). Olivarez stated, "I'm coming to you today to get permission to develop and form the district".
Virginia Townsend commented that she does not believe that as a County, that we have to accept this bill and sees this as potential taxes for the taxpayers. If the Court proceeds with this, Ms. Townsend reqeusted workshops, information, etc.
Mr. Olivarez then stated that he is requested action to get wheels in motion, to hold hearings for the public, begin to develop procedures and to contact the Tax Office so as to collect the fees from the hospitals, etc.
Mr. Olivarez clarified that this allows himself and his team to work with the hospitals to develop a mechanism to formally develop the Hidalgo County Community Fund District in accordance with SB 1623.
NO ACTION taken on this item.
2. Approval to proceed with the creation of the County Health Care Funding District.
Steve Crain, Legal Counsel, stated that he has "reviewed the law, and that the main thing people need to understand is that this is not a tax on any County resident. This is only a payment from each of the hospitals in the County. No tax is involved as a mandatory payment, for right now".
On motion by COMMISSIONER, PCT. 2 HECTOR PALACIOS, seconded by COMMISSIONER, PCT. 3 JOE M. FLORES, the Court made a UNANIMOUS vote of approval, to start the process (of creating the County Health Care Funding District) with the understanding that we are not committing to anybody raising taxes at the County level at this point.
