PUBLIC COMMENT: Ms. Talley spoke in support of the County maintaining the State's Family Planning Program. BUDGET HEARINGS Human Services Mr. Obrecht asked for information on what assistance the County is providing to its local municipalities regarding the West Nile Virus and Mosquito Control. He also asked if individual homeowners could acquire the mosquito control sprays being used for such programs. Dr. Gordon reported that he would be going back to the General Government Committee on Monday, September 9, to report on and discuss this program. Informational brochures on mosquito control and the West Nile Virus were distributed to the committee. A copy of the Program Budget Summary for the Family Planning Program was distributed. Discussion continued on the County's termination of the State's Family Planning Program. Dr. Gordon explained that this was a state program offered through the County Health Division. The State has turned down the County's request to fully fund this Program. Originally, the State would have under-funded the Oakland County program for the next year by $150,000. Further State budget reductions to the program of $2,000,000 would now require the County to cover an additional $50,000 - $75,000. Ms. Friedman Appel asked if other health programs were supplemented by County cost-sharing. Dr. Gordon indicated that the CPBC program is under a block grant format requiring a FINANCE COMMITTEE Page 3 August 30, 2002 county match. This is not considered as a cost-sharing program. Substance Abuse Funds can be used for incarcerated pregnant women (or girls at Children's Village) while they are in the County's custody and they meet the criteria. Ms. Friedman Appel asked to have the Family Planning Program a dded to the budget wrap up list for September 4. A copy of Dr. Gordon's response to Mr. Coleman's written request for information on this program was provided to the committee. Dr. Gordon informed the Committee that the cost of flu vaccines to the County is now $7.00 each. Previously, the cost was $2.50 and the County charged $3.00. It is anticipated that the Health Division will request that the Commissioners authorize an adjustment of this fee.
