Department has money in the bank does not mean that the City and County does not still need to contribute until the target is met. Dr. Erickson asked Mr. Anderson to correct him if his had misunderstood. The Health Department budget ends on September 30th and we have an accounting for what happened during that fiscal year, and we end up with a $20,000 shortfall, so the City and County would have to pay $10,000 towards the shortfall plus in the new agreement $75,000 upfront. So, the old agreement was that the City and County would cover the shortfall, so we still need that money. In moving forward, we need this money. Mr. Anderson stated that the Health Department had been given the money for the shortfall for last year but not for this year. You will not know what the shortfall is going to be until September 301h, so you need to do the shortfall for one more year plus the $75,000. Dr. Erickson stated that as this year ends, we will have a shortfall then we will budget the $75,000 and there will not be an accounting at the end with a shortfall at the end of that year. Mr. Anderson stated that we need to include that the final year to settle up would be September 30, 2014 and beginning with the FY14 -15 budget it will be a flat amount of $75,000 and then beginning October 1 for the next three years, then renegotiating up to the next three years. Mr. Anderson stated that he would meet with Mr. Kent Mcllyar and make the changes and then send back to the Board Members to review. Dr. Erickson stated that 9.6 is modification of the interlocal agreement and do we want them to be able to modify by a majority vote by the City Council and the Lamar County Commissioners Court or by representatives from the City and Lamar County. Mr. Collins suggested that 9.6 should be modified by the majority vote of the Health Department board and then by joint approval by the City and County. Dr. Erickson stated that all members voted for the first 1.4, the second 1.6, the second 1.7, third 7.2, the second 7.5, and the second 9.6 discussion points but with the changes listed above. Mrs. Prestridge asked that 7.2 be changed to 90 days and 60 days. Dr. Erickson stated that we will not be going to budget hearings and we will take our budget to Commissioner Court and City Council and submitted for review and not for approval. Mrs. Prestridge suggested that a Board Member take the Health Department budget to City Council and Commissioner Court for review. Board of Health minutes 201401 -21 Special Meeting (needing approval)
