Board of County CommissionersDATE: <br />THRU: Jim Chandler <br />County Administrrtdfr <br />Joyce M. Johnsto <br />FROM: Director of WelfaIA—e-101 <br />uly 1z, <br />STATE/COUNTY SHARED <br />SUBJECT: INHOSPITALIZATION <br />PROGRAM <br />�Ia lil 11 <br />146 /( <br />REFERENCES:, <br />"4hen the 1989-90 budget was presented to Governor Martinez in June, one of <br />the items he vetoed was the State/County Shared Inhospitalization Program. <br />As you can see by the attached memo, the Florida Association of Counties is <br />:masking Indian River County to do anything we can to encourage our <br />i legislative delegation to support the effort being initiated by the Hospital <br />Association and Senator Myers. <br />As each of you are aware the State/County Shared Program will provide <br />approximately $80,000 for extended services at Indian River Memorial Hospital <br />for low income families. . <br />You as Commissioners have made generous county tax dollar commitments to <br />health care for our residents in the past through funding the Health <br />Department and especially the Primary Care Program. The Hospital Taxing <br />District, again through County tax dollars, provide many services for <br />emergency health care. These funds from the State would provide expanded <br />services from a broader tax base for Indian River County residents. <br />I' would_ j`encourage each of you to support this effort. It will demonstrate <br />concern for the Taxing District Hospital's effort to improve the health care <br />for Indian River County residents which enhances the effort the Indian River <br />County Commissioners have made in the past and continue to make each year. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Com- <br />missioner Bird, the Board unanimously (4-0) authorized <br />Commissioner Eggert to work with the Chairman to draft <br />an appropriate letter to the Legislative Delegation. <br />79 r�, F=, <br />A U G `989 goo l 1 ��� <br />
