BUDGET ORDINANCE IMPACT
Increase grant revenues by $1,083 and appropriate $1,083 into three (3) expense accounts.
BACKGROUND
The Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response of the US Department of Health and Human Services provides grant funding through the State of North Carolina and the Metrolina Healthcare Preparedness Coalition to enhance preparedness equipment and response capabilities. We have been approved to purchase Tychem suits, a Deployed Logix shelter, and a portable toileting system.
We expected to receive $10,667, as appropriated in Board Action 16-477, however we actually received $11,750 to cover higher than expected shipping costs. Acceptance and appropriation of the additional $1,083 funds will reconcile the total costs of the grant funded equipment.
