<br /> 84-143 Letter from the City Manager recommending adoption of a motion to grant approval
<br />of a transfer of funds in the amount of $94,608 from the Grants Contingency Account for
<br />services rendered by the Bureau of Maternal and Child He~ltH'.
<br />
<br /> 'The Bureau of Maternal and Child Health has received block grant funds for local health
<br />care districts so implement and monitor a perina~al health care program. The Tidewater Health
<br />Care District, which includes Portsmouth, Suffolk, Isle of Wight, Franklin and Southampton
<br />County, was originally awarde~ grant funds for this project in January, 1983.
<br />
<br /> The grant employs nurses, outreach workers, and clerical personnel to carry out the ob-
<br />jectives of the program. Services provided include prenatal and well-baby clincics, nutritio~
<br />assessment and counseling, home visits, parenting classes, transportation and medical care for
<br />low-income, high-risk mothers and infants.
<br />
<br /> Due to the nonavailab~lity of state posit~ons, the employees o£ the grant have been work-
<br />ing in hourly positions, without fringe benefits since March, 1983. I have recently been
<br />notified by Dr. William Crawford, Acting Director of Tidewater Health Care District, that fund
<br />are available to reimburse localities for the fringe benefits as well as salaries for project
<br />personnel; and, the State Bureau of Maternal and Child Health is awarding the Portsmouth Publi
<br />Health Department the sume of $94,608 in federal funds for that purpose. No local match is
<br />required, and the project is renewable annually for four additional years. Employees will be'
<br />required to sign a statement indicating that they understand that the City is no~ responsible
<br />for funding the positions if grant funds are noz available.
<br />
<br /> I recommend approval of the projecz and the transfer of $94,508 from the Grants Contingem
<br />Account for this purpose.
<br />
<br /> Motion of Mr. Gray and seconded by Mrs. Webb,
<br />authorization be granted to transfer 294,608 from
<br />and was adopted by unanimous vote.
<br />
<br />to concur in the recommendation and that
