McDaniel, City ManagVOO DATE: October 22, 2015 RE: Ordinance No. 73 -15 — Franklin County Public Health 2016 Contract Summary Memo Ordinance No. 73 -15 authorizes the City Manager to enter into a contract with The District Advisory Council of the Franklin County General Health District for the provision of public health services and plumbing inspection services for 2016. Franklin County Public Health serves as the public health agency for the City, including the portions of the City in Delaware and Union Counties. On August 11, 2015, the Franklin County Board of Health approved a per capita rate of $7.51 for the public health services it provides to participating jurisdictions. This per capita rate reflects a 4.89% increase over the 2015 per capita rate. Based on MORPC's estimated population for Dublin of 44,735, the City's cost for the 2016 contract is $333,455.94. As outlined in the attached correspondence, last year Franklin County Public Health notified jurisdictions about the need to raise an additional annual investment of $957,500 to address core services and unfunded mandates. After input from jurisdictions and hearing their concerns, the Board of Health opted to phase in this increase over time. In 2015, the per capita increase generated only $559,000 of the needed $957,500. The 2016 per capita increase will generate an additional $167,138, which results in meeting 76 percent of the goal of $957,500. In addition, Franklin County Public Health has been aggressively pursuing grants and other funding options to reduce the burden on the jurisdictions they serve, and will evaluate the needs again next year. As Council is aware, the mosquito control and management program is handled under a separate, three -year (2014 -2016) contract between Vector Disease Control Inc. and Franklin County Public Health. After expiration of the contract on 12/31/16, the City has the option to extend the contract for two additional one -year periods. VDCI invoices the City of Dublin for the work completed under the contract. FCPH is responsible for the contract administration and monitors VDCI's performance and compliance with the terms, conditions and specifications to the contract. The cost for the City of Dublin under the contract between FCPH and VDCI is $39,714.50 per year. Recommendation Staff recommends that Council approve Ordinance No. 73 -15 at the second reading /public hearing on November 2, 2015.

Last year Franklin County Public Health notified jurisdictions about the need to raise an additional annual investment of $957,500 to address core services and unfunded mandates.

In 2015, the per capita increase generated only $559,000 of the needed $957,500. This year the per capita increase will generate another $167,138. This brings us to 76% of our goal. FCPH has been aggressively pursuing grants and other funding opportunities to lessen the burden on our jurisdictions. We will continue to do so in 2016 and evaluate our needs again next year. Based on the per capital rate of $7.51 approved by the Franklin County Board of Health on August 11, 2015, the annual cost of your 2016 contract will be $333,455.94.
