Submitted for:	Nancy Cadena	Submitted By:	Nora Prado
Department:	Public Health Services

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to approve a budget amendment by increasing revenues and expenditures in the amount of $10,000.00 for interest revenues received for the Healthcare Funding District Commission/Local Provider Participation Fund (LPPF) in accordance with Texas Local Government Code, Section 111.0108 (Special Budget for Revenue Received after Start of Fiscal Year). [Requested by Nancy Cadena; Fund #2001 (Local Provider Participation-HCD)]

Interest Revenue	2001-5040-361100	$10,000
Medical Services Optional Services	2001-5040-432063-030	$10,000

Issue: LPPF account began earning interest after change in depository bank to Falcon Bank. Chapter 288 of the Texas Health and Safety Code limits the use of these funds but does authorize its use to subsidize indigent programs.

Solution: Interest revenue and authorized expenditures will be used to offset costs of durable medical equipment (DME) and supplies for eligible Webb County Indigent Health Care Program participants.

Result: Finalize special budget using proceeds for the purpose stated on this agenda item.

Background:

Interest revenues and Medical Services Optional Services expenditures not currently budgeted for FY 2019-2020. Utilize interest revenues for program purposes.

Previous Court Action:

The Commissioners Court authorized the purchase of DME and supplies at the May 11, 2020 Commissioners Court meeting. The Healthcare Funding District Commission authorized the use of interest earned and the creation of a line item for the purchase of DME and supplies.
