Introduced by the Human Services, County Services and Finance Committees of the:

INGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

RESOLUTION TO AMEND THE 2004 HEALTH DEPARTMENT BUDGET AND ESTABLISH A POSITION

RESOLUTION #03-254

WHEREAS, Ingham County has had a contract since May 2002 with Medical Care Access Coalition to provide administrative support services to implement a health plan program for low-income, uninsured persons in Marquette County; and

WHEREAS, the Medical Care Access Coalition (MCAC) plan enrollment in Marquette County is approximately 500; and

WHEREAS, the MCAC is implementing a plan to provide services across the entire Upper Peninsula with an anticipated enrollment of at least 2,000 persons by January 1, 2004 (an increase of 1,500); and

WHEREAS, Ingham County will need additional resources in order to support the increase in work and the County will generate an estimated $75,000 in additional revenue during FY 2004; and

WHEREAS, the Health Plan Management Bureau Director has recommended that a full-time Program Specialist position be created to support the increased work load, and the Health Department's Financial Services Office has verified that additional revenue will more than cover the increase in expenditures; and

WHEREAS, the Health Officer has recommended that the Board of Commissioners authorize an amendment to the Health Department's 2004 budget and establish a Program Specialist position.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners authorizes an amendment to the Health Department's 2004 budget to increase both revenue and expenditures by $75,000.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board of Commissioners establishes a full-time Program Specialist position in the Health Plan Management Bureau, effective November 1, 2003.
