TELEGRAPH ROAD, PONTIAC, MI 48341-0475 Telephone (248) 858 -0100 FAX (248) 858-1572 FINANCE COMMITTEE Sue Ann Douglas Christine Long Jeff Potter David Potts Shelley Taub Helaine Zack David Coulter David Woodward FINANCE COMMITTEE Page 2 June 9, 2010 will cover four General Fund/General Purpose (GF/GP) Public Health Nurse III positions for the program. The positions will remain GF/GP and would not be subject to the Gosling Amendment. The MDHS has agreed that charging the four PH Nurse III positions to the grant will not be viewed as supplanting. Since current positions are being used, additional funds can be used to correct timing issues from termination of the Nurse Family Partnership Program. The budget will be amended as outlined in the Fi scal Note. Mr. Miller explained that it would be expensive to hire and train new nurses so permission was given to retain these positions as General Fund and will be reimbursed by the grant. These positions will go back to doing the Nurse and family Partnership program and the field work they are c urrently performing will be picked up by other nursing staff. If the grant goes away, Health would not be able to use the Nurse and Family Partnership program, which is copyrighted , but would still deal with these issues. Taub moved approval of the attached suggested Fiscal Note. Supported by Zack. Gingell moved to amend the Fiscal Note to strike the words “General Fund/ General Purpose positions not subject to the Gosling Amendment” from paragraph 9. Suppor ted by Taub.
