Analysis
Our current contract with Dallas County Health and Human Services Department expires September 30, 2020. Services provided under the contract include tuberculosis control, sexually transmitted disease control, laboratory services, and communicable disease control. In addition, the County conducts health screening examinations, immunizations, and well-child services. Over 7,000 Grand Prairie resident services were provided last fiscal year.
As in previous years, cost is allocated according to services rendered in the program areas noted above. The cost of $38,854 is being expended for residents of Grand Prairie to receive treatment for health services in FY 2020/2021. The contract cost of $38,854 for FY 2020/2021 reflects no change to the contract cost from FY 2019/2020.
Chapter 791 of the Texas Government Code, also known as the Inter-local Cooperation Contracts Act, authorizes all local governments to contract with each other to perform governmental functions or services including administrative functions normally associated with the operation of government such as these needed health services.
Financial Consideration
Funds are included as part of the Proposed FY 2020/2021 General Fund, Environmental Services Department.
