Department:	Public Health Services

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to approve an amendment to the inter-local agreement between Webb County (Anchors) and the Texas Department of Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) as required to receive the federal matching funds available from the Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment (DSRIP) program under the Texas Healthcare Transformation & Quality Improvement Program/1115 Waiver; and authorizing the County Judge to sign all relevant documents; and any other matters incident thereto.

Issue: The current inter-local agreement is set to terminate on September 30, 2016. The 1115 Waiver was granted a 15-month extension thru January 31, 2018 and the amendment will reflect this change.
