OCT 2 3 1990 <br />TO: Members of the Board <br />of County Commissioners <br />DATE: October 10, 1990 <br />SUBJECT: ANNUAL HRS CONTRACT <br />FROM: Joseph A. Baird(* <br />OMB Director <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITION <br />BOOK F�jIj <br />Attached is the Standard Contract between the Indian River County Board of County <br />Commissioners and the State of Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services for the <br />• 1990/91 fiscal year. In the agreement, Indian River County guarantees to fund $491,000 - as was <br />authorized at budget time. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the annual contract between <br />the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners and the Rehabilitative Services for <br />1990/91 fiscal year. <br />Dr. Berman informed the Board that the Health Department <br />budget is very tight this year. There are some increases which <br />they spoke about at budget sessions which are designated in the <br />contract, and essentially the biggest increase is the raise in <br />the charge for Birth and Death Certificates from $5 to $7. The <br />State HRS 3% decrease doesn't amount to a great deal, but every <br />dollar counts in a tight budget. Dr. Berman felt it will take a <br />good strong political action to get back our 1.5 million grant. <br />Chairman Eggert advised that she is pursuing this very <br />strongly in Tallahassee. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Com- <br />missioner Bowman, the Board unanimously (4-0) auth- <br />orized the Chairman to execute the annual contract <br />with the State Department of Health & Rehabilitative <br />Services for FY 90/91. <br />COPY OF PARTIALLY SIGNED AGREEMENT IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF <br />CLERK TO THE BOARD. <br />48 <br />
