BY: FINANCE COMMITTEE, SUE ANN DOUGLAS CHAIRPERSON
IN RE: DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES/HEALTH DIVISION — GRANT ACCEPTANCE FOR
FETAL-INFANT MORTALITY REVIEW INITIATIVE
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS funding has been awarded from the Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) to the
Oakland County Health Division for the development of local teams to review fetal and infant deaths in communities
where infant mortality rates are higher than the state average; and
WHEREAS the infant mortality rate for the City of Pontiac significantly exceeds the rates for both the state
and the county; and
WHEREAS funds have been awarded in the amount of $10,000, the same as application, to assess fetal-infant
mortality within the City of Pontiac; and
WHEREAS the OCHD will partner with community agencies to assess data and to develop a service delivery
model that educates and targets vulnerable and hard-to-reach pregnant women and parents of newborns; and
WHEREAS no additional personnel are being requested, as the Health Division plans to use an existing multi-
filled Public Health Nurse — Special Revenue position 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 application for the grant was due January 25, 1999 and the grant period ends September 29, 1999;
and
WHEREAS acceptance of this grant does not obligate the County to any future commitment; and
WHEREAS the grant agreement 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 funds
for the Fetal-Infant Mortality Review Initiative Grant in the amount of $10,000, through the period of September 29,
1999.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that services associated with this program be contingent upon continued grant
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 (15%) percent, which is consistent with the agreement as originally
approved.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Finance Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
