REPORT: Assistant County Attorney Jess McCarty read the foregoing proposed resolution into the record. Ms. Wendi Norris, Assistant Director, Internal Services Department, noted this proposal should be amended to insert the following language at the end of the first sentence in section 7C on handwritten page 13: “with the exception of the two Ford vans utilized by the Doctor Rafael A. Penalver Clinic vehicle 80243 and vehicle 80244 will be transferred to the ownership of the Doctor Rafael A. Penalver Clinic who, through its board, manages the operation of the Clinic in partnership with the Health Department. That clinic will be responsible for providing insurance coverage for these vehicles and assume all liability associated with their operation.” Ms. Norris also noted that a scrivener’s error existed and should be corrected to change “construction/renovation services” to “AIDS drug assistance program” at the end of the first paragraph on handwritten page 2. Hearing no other questions or comments, the Committee proceeded to vote on this proposed resolution as amended.

The County�s cash contribution totals $1,204,767 (Attachment II, page 16) consisting of $1,130,909 from the Public Health Trust (PHT), and $73,858 from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) (see Attachment II, Section 9, page 16). The CDBG funding is used for the Immunization Program. The DOH can elect a re-appropriate funding among the different programs with prior contract officer approval, if necessary. The PHT�s reimbursement methodology and monitoring requirements are detailed under separate agreements between the PHT and DOH.

The other local cash contribution totals $12,465,400 of which $5,000,000 is ARRA grant Federal Funding awarded from CDC to the Miami-Dade County Health Department for Chronic Disease Prevention and Education (Attachment II, Section 11, page 18). The remainder consists of fees assessed for DOH health services new birth and death certificates, environmental health and communicable disease services, carryover funds held in the state Public Health Trust Fund, Medicare payments, and private cash donations.

Pursuant to state law, the Board of County Commissioners is responsible for approving the DOH revised fee schedule (see Attachment VII). However, no changes in service fees are recommended in this document. Furthermore, communicable disease and primary care fees are automatically adjusted to at least the Medicaid reimbursement rate without formal amendment to this contract in accordance with Section 154.06, Florida Statutes, should such reimbursement be increased or decreased. Other state indirect contributions not reflected in the trust fund budget include immunization; AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP); and the Women, Infant and Children (WIC) food program totaling $78,249,653 (Attachment II, page 16).

Although not mandated by State Statute, Miami-Dade County agrees to provide building space and insurance coverage for County-owned buildings, furnishings and equipment used by the DOH. It is the responsibility of the DOH to obtain insurance coverage for any buildings, furnishings, and equipment used by the agency but not owned by Miami-Dade County. The DOH is responsible for the construction, maintenance, repair and improvements of all buildings as well as for providing utilities, janitorial and custodial services. In addition, the DOH must maintain facilities in compliance with all federal, state, and local regulatory requirements, including the American with Disabilities Act (see Attachment VIII).

Track Record/Monitor
The DOH and the County agree to comply with federal and state laws and regulations and maintain books, records, and documents in accordance with accounting procedures and practices. In addition, the DOH must adhere to State of Florida purchasing rules and regulations but may purchase goods and services through the County when feasible.

MANAGER'S BACKGROUND
Background
Chapter 154, Florida Statutes requires that the DOH enter into a contract (attached) with each county. This contract provides for the Miami-Dade County Department of Health to promote public health, including environmental health services, to control for and eradicate preventable diseases, and to provide care to special populations. This contract format is prescribed by the state, and it establishes a basic legal framework for shared responsibilities between the state DOH and Miami-Dade County. This relationship has evolved over the years from a county-managed Public Health Unit to a large state agency operated entirely by the DOH.

Either party may terminate the agreement without cause upon any less than 180 calendar days notice in writing to the other party. Either party, upon no less than 30 days notice, may terminate the agreement if the other party fails to perform an obligation under the contract. In the event funds to finance this contract become unavailable, either party may terminate the contract upon no less than 24 hours notice in writing to the other party. Staffing and services may be reduced based on the availability of funds.
