MEETING DATE: November 28, 2022
SUBJECT: Request approval to accept Oregon Health Authority grant funding and
authorization to convert two limited duration FTEs to regular for the Public
Health Early Intervention Services and Outreach Program
RECOMMENDED MOTIONS:
1) Move approval to accept Oregon Health Authority's Early Intervention Services and
Outreach funding.
2) Move approval of Resolution No. 2022-075 to convert 2.0 limited duration FTEs to
regular FTE positions within the Health Services Fund.
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
Deschutes County Public Health's Early Intervention Services and Outreach (EISO) program
is funded through the Oregon Health Authority (OHA). The program supports STD/HIV
testing and disease intervention, health literacy and education, prevention activities, and
connections and access to care in the tri-county area. The program operates on a calendar -
year (CY) basis and current funding from OHA runs through December 31, 2022.
OHA has awarded Deschutes County Health Services $1,900,000 for the term January 1,
2023 through June 30, 2027. These funds will support the continuation of the Deschutes
County Public Health's EISO program. OHA is intending to convert the program to Program
Element (PE) 73. The award letter is attached. The intergovernmental agreement will be
forthcoming.
On the assurance of funding from OHA, Health Services is requesting approval to accept
the funding and convert two current limited duration FTE positions to regular FTE positions
effective January 1, 2023. EISO funding will cover 0.7 FTE of the Community Health
Specialist II position and 0.8 of the Public Health Nurse II. (The remainder of these positions
are paid through PE 07 (HIV) and PE 01 (Communicable Disease), respectively.) Health
Services is recommending that these positions be regular instead of limited duration
because EISO funding will be converting to an ongoing program Element, PE 73. However,
should funding no longer support the increase in the position, DCHS will consider the
future of these positions within the budgeting process.
BUDGET IMPACTS: Revenue of $1,900,000 from January 1, 2023 through June 30, 2027.
The estimated cost for six months of a 1.00 Community Health Specialist 11 position and a
1.00 Public Health Nurse II position is $54,300 and $48,300, respectively. No additional
appropriation is necessary in the Health Services Fund.
