MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #00169
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 the Oakland County Health Division applied for and received
grant funding from the Michigan Public Health Institute (MPHI) 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 Health Division has been awarded funding in the amount of
$25,000, the same as the application, to assess fetal-infant mortality within
the City of Pontiac; and
WHEREAS the Health Division will partner with community agencies to
assess the 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 funding for this program is for the period of June 1, 2000
through December 31, 2001; and
WHEREAS no additional personnel has been 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
an existing Typist II position for clerical support; and
WHEREAS 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 the grant agreement has been submitted through the County
Executive's Review Process.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners approves the grant funding for the Fetal-Infant Mortality
Review Initiative Grant in the amount of $25,000, for the period of June 1,
2000 through December 31, 2001.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Chairperson of the Board of
Commissioners is authorized to execute the grant agreement and to approve any
grant extensions or changes, within fifteen percent (15%) of the original
award, which are consistent with the original agreement as approved.

Grant Application - Fetal Infant Mortality Review Project
• The Oakland County Health Division is applying for grant funding from the Michigan
Public Health Institute in the amount of $25,000 for the purpose of enhancing existing
efforts to implement Fetal Infant Mortality Review in the City of Pontiac.
• The disparity in the infant mortality rates (IMR) between the County of Oakland and
the City of Pontiac is significant, and demands more concentrated effort. The IMR is
the number of deaths of children (between birth and one year) per 1,000 live births.
In 1997 and 1998 the IMR for the State of Michigan was 8.1 and 8.2, respectively; for
the County of Oakland those rates were 6.1 and 6.8; and 14.4 and 16.8 in the City of
Pontiac. The gap between the black and white IMR is even more appalling between
Oakland County and Pontiac. In 1998, the IMR for white infants born in Oakland
County was 4.6; for black infants it was 25.5. In Pontiac, the IMR for white infants
was 7.8, while the IMR for black infants was 26.6.
The funding will be used to employ a Public Health Nurse to review medical records,
prepare abstractions of the medical record information, and present the identified data
to the FIMR Case Review Team.
• A Fetal Infant Case Review Team will be established within the Oakland County
Health Division that involves community partners, including the Oakland Livingston
Human Services Agency; St. Joseph Mercy Hospital, Pontiac; North Oakland
Medical Center, Pontiac; Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital; the Infant Mortality
Consortium in Pontiac; a representative form Oakland County's Child Death Review
Team; Healthy People, Healthy Oakland; Oakland County Human Services
Coordinating Council; and the Family Independence Agency. The purpose of this
review project will be to:
• identify and examine factors that contribute to infant death
• find patterns of needs in a community
• identify weaknesses in the perinatal health system
• propose and enact solutions to improve fetal and infant outcomes.

Dear Ma Rowney:
We are pleased to inform you that your application to develop a Fetal Infant Mortality
Review Program has been accepted and you will be awarded funds for your program.
You submitted an excellent proposal.
You have been approved for $25,000.00, for a period of approximately 16 months,
commencing with the signing of a contract between the Oakland County Health
Department and the Michigan Public Health Institute and ending September 30, 2001.
The Michigan Public Health Institute will send you a contract for your review and
acceptance. You will be able to spend funds for your F1MR upon receipt of a signed
contract We anticipate that contracts will be signed by the end of June. Because these
funds originate from and carry across two fiscal years for both the Michigan Department
of Community Health and Michigan State University, we will need to issue two contracts
for these funds: one through September 30, 2000 and one for the period of October 1,
2000 through September 30,2001.
If you have any questions or need assistance in responding to our request for further
information or clarification, please call me. Pat Tacldtt, State MAR Coordinator is
available to help with designing and implementing your PI:MR project. You may contact
her at 734.669-8039. !
We look forward to working with you in enhancing fetal and taint Mortality Review
throughout the state.
Sincerely,
