Resolution - City Secretary:
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute Contract HHSREV100002930, with the State of Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), Vital Statistics Section, for access to the DSHS Vital Event Electronic Registration System, to allow issuance of birth certificates.
Item Summary
The contract between the City of Lubbock and the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) provides on-line computer services in support of Vital Records Programs. The Vital Statistics Office will be allowed to search DSHS databases, locate dates, and issue Certifications of Vital Records to authorized individuals requesting such data. The certifications will be in a format formally approved by DSHS.
The City of Lubbock agrees to reimburse DSHS $1.83 (One Dollar and 83/100) for each Certification of Vital Record printed as a result of searches of the database. The contract calls for the City to charge the same base search fee for a birth certificate as does the DSHS, with additional fees only being charged as authorized by Texas Health and Safety Code. The search fee for the City is currently set at $10.00 per record search. The maximum total cost for a vital record is set by the State at $23, for each birth certificate and $21 for the first death certificate and $4 for each additional death certificate.
Fiscal Impact
The revenues and expenditures for vital statistics services are included in the current City Secretary Operating Budget.
