AUQust 9. 2005 05 - 353 - Adoption of an ordinance to appropriate $150,000 for an increase in the estimated revenues and expenditure authority in the FY 2004-2005 Comprehensive Services Act Fund Operating Budget. Vision Principle: Neighborhood and Community Transformation. Background: . CSA's therapeutic and residential foster care costs (which made up 71 % of the program costs in FY 2005) have increased by 31 % over FY 2004. The number of clients served in this group has increased by 27% during the same period. Although there have been significant decreases in other client categories, the increase in the total cost of residential and therapeutic foster care outweighed the decreases. Discussion: . The funds provided will be used to pay for all outstanding services rendered to CSA clients during FY 2005. . Financial Impact: This action would increase the expenditure authority of the CSA by $150,000 for therapeutic foster care services. Staff Recommendation: Adoption of an ordinance to appropriate $150,000 for an increase in the estimated revenues and expenditure authority in the FY 2004-2005 Comprehensive Services Act Fund Operating Budget. Vision Principle: Neighborhood and Community Transformation. Next Steps Following Council Action: .

Vision Principle: Neighborhood and Community Transformation. Background: . The City of Portsmouth is required to pay the match on all Medicaid payments made on behalf of its foster children. The local match revenues for Medicaid payments were not included in the FY 2005 budget. The attached analysis details the increase in Medicaid match costs over the past several years. Discussion: . Medicaid is the primary health care provider for the City's children in foster care. This federal grant requires that the State of Virginia and its benefiting localities contribute to the cost of care. . Financial Impact: This action would provide a local match appropriation for Medicaid payments of $235,000 from the General Fund. Staff Recommendation: Adoption of an ordinance to appropriate an additional $235,000 in the FY 2004-2005 Comprehensive Services Act Fund Operating Budget for Medicaid payments required to close out FY 2005. Vision Principle: Neighborhood and Community Transformation.
