Title
Consider A Resolution Approving An Interlocal Agreement With Dallas County Health And Human Services For Coordinated Health Services In The Amount Of $23,823.00 For A Five-Year Amount Not To Exceed $119,115.00.
Body
BACKGROUND:
This interlocal agreement continues the longstanding area partnership for coordinated health services for the City of Carrollton with Dallas County Health and Human Services (DCHHS). Under this agreement, the County operates certain health services for cities throughout Dallas County including the City of Carrollton. The services provided by DCHHS include communicable disease control services, laboratory services, immunizations, and child health care in accordance with state and federal law. Continuing this interlocal agreement provides ongoing direct and indirect public health care for Carrollton residents.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The services provided through this interlocal agreement are funded through the Environmental Services operating budget. The DCHHS health services program is partially funded through this cost-share program supported by Dallas County municipalities
IMPACT ON COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY:
Providing for public health care services is an essential component of community sustainability through the provision of health services not offered by directly the City.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:
Staff recommends City Council approval of interlocal agreement with Dallas County Health and Human Services for public health services in the amount of $23,823.00 for a five-year amount not to exceed $119,115.00.
