Regular City Council Meeting <br />August 26 , 2003 <br />Page 4 <br />Mr. Bethel said the only thing that may change in their funding may be <br />because last year they received $50,000.00 for immunization. Mr. Bethel <br />advised that he had just turned in a new grant that should be funded by January <br />1, 2004. If they receive that grant it will be for $221,000.00, which may <br />increase the immunization revenue. Mr. Bethel informed the Council that the <br />state is going to stop auditing the immunization records at the schools that they <br />give and if we get this grant, the Health Department will have to do that. He <br />felt that he would only have to add one person to do the work. <br />Mr. Anderson advised that the revenue account for the immunization grant <br />should go to $66,697.00 and this is just for a four month extension that they <br />gave the Health Department. <br />Mr. Bethel said they have a lot of things in their budget and they may take <br />$2,000.00 out in one place and move it to another place. Once a year the state <br />requires them to do a time study to come up with a weighted figure on how <br />much times was spent on certain activities such as immunizations. <br />Mr. Anderson advised that the grants are restrictive and are for specific medical <br />services. The state audits every year and if money has been spent on the wrong <br />thing the Health Department will be asked to give the money back. <br />Mayor Fendley asked if the employees of the Health Department fall under the <br />city's work plan. Mr. Anderson advised that the Health Board voted several <br />years ago to ask the city to allow them to come under our plan and the City <br />Council voted to allow them to do so. They follow our personnel policies and <br />pay plan, but they pay their own way in regard to insurance. Mr. Anderson <br />said he is allowed to charge 10% of the salary number for AC only for doing <br />their accounting. The amounts to $10,000.00 to $12,000.00 a year. <br />Mr. Anderson said he had determined that the electrical expense for Woodall <br />Baseball Park was $10,666.00 for the last twelve months. This number is in <br />the Parks and Recreation budget. <br />
