BUDGET ORDINANCE IMPACT
Increase Federal and State revenues by $85,000 and appropriate $85,000 into the Medicaid Transportation account.
BACKGROUND
The Medicaid Transportation program has experienced an increase in demand for services. Last fiscal year, the average monthly cost was approximately $70,000. This fiscal year, FY16-17, the average monthly cost has increased to $85,000. The account was not budgeted to cover the increased demand. The expenses are reimbursed by Federal and State revenues at 100%. Therefore, we are requesting to appropriate the additional revenues into the appropriate revenue and expense accounts in order to cover the cost for the remainder of this fiscal year.
