BY: FINANCE COMMITTEE, SUE ANN DOUGLAS, CHAIRPERSON
IN RE: DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES/HEALTH DIVISION - ACCEPTANCE OF CHILDHOOD
LEAD POISONING PRIMARY PREVENTION GRANT
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Oakland County Health Division has applied for and been
approved by the Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) to receive grant
funds in the amount of $40,000, as provided by the Centers for Disease Control
(CDC); and
WHEREAS the funds will be used to conduct childhood lead assurance
activities, which include assessing pediatric medical providers throughout
Oakland County for childhood lead screening, testing, and follow-up services, and
educating these providers in the CDC recommendations for these activities; and
WHEREAS funding will also be used to implement a computer program, which
will be used to conduct surveillance of childhood lead screening, testing,
results and follow-up activities; and
WHEREAS the contract for this grant is in effect beginning July 1, 1998
through June 30, 1999; and
WHEREAS this program does not require any additional staff, since the
Health Division will utilize an existing Public Health Nurse position and a
Typist position on a part-time basis to conduct and coordinate the activities of
the program, and as personnel costs are incurred, an accounting adjustment will
be made to charge those costs against the grant; and
WHEREAS acceptance of this grant does not obligate the County to any future
commitment; and
WHEREAS this grant contract has been submitted through the County
Executive's Contract Review Process.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
accepts the grant funds for the Childhood Lead Poisoning Primary Prevention
Program in the amount of $40,000, effective July 1, 1998 through June 30, 1999.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that services associated with this program be
contingent upon continued State funding at a level sufficient to maintain the
program.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board Chairperson is authorized to execute
the agreement and approve changes and extensions not to exceed fifteen percent
(15%), which is consistent with the agreement as originally approved.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Finance Committee, I move the adoption of the
foregoing resolution.
