Program Element #03 - Tuberculosis Services
1. Description. ORS 433.006 and Oregon Administrative Rule 333-019-0000 assign responsibility
to LPHA for Tuberculosis (“TB”) investigations and implementation of TB control measures
within LPHA’s service area. The funds provided under this Agreement for this Program Element
may only be used, in accordance with and subject to the requirements and limitations set forth
below, as supplemental funds to support LPHA’s TB investigation and control efforts. The funds
provided under this Agreement for this Program Element are not intended to be the sole funding
for LPHA’s TB investigation and control program.
2. Definitions Specific to TB Services.
a. Active TB Disease: TB disease in an individual whose immune system has failed to
control his or her TB infection and who has become ill with active TB disease, as
determined in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC)
laboratory or clinical criteria for active TB and based on a diagnostic evaluation of the
individual.
b. Appropriate Therapy: Current TB treatment regimens recommended by the CDC, the
American Thoracic Society, the Academy of Pediatrics, and the Infectious Disease Society
of America.
c. Associated Cases: Additional cases of TB disease discovered while performing a contact
investigation.
d. B-waiver Immigrants: Immigrants or refugees screened for TB prior to entry to the U.S.
and found to have TB disease or latent TB infection.
e. Case: A case is an individual who has been diagnosed by a health care provider, as defined
in OAR 333-017-0000, as having a reportable disease, infection, or condition , as described
in OAR 333-018-0015, or whose illness meets defining criteria published in the
Department’s Investigative Guidelines.
f. Cohort Review: A systematic review of the management of patients with TB disease and
their contacts. The “cohort” is a group of TB cases counted (confirmed as cases) over 3
months. The cases are reviewed 6-9 months after being counted to ensure they have
completed treatment or are nearing the end. Details of the management and outcomes of
TB cases are reviewed in a group with the information presented by the case manager.
g. Contact: An individual who was significantly exposed to an infectious case of active TB
disease.
h. Directly Observed Therapy (DOT): LPHA staff (or other person appropriately designated
by the county) observes an individual with TB disease swallowing each dose of TB
medication to assure adequate treatment and prevent the development of drug resistant TB.
i. Evaluated (in context of contact investigation): A contact received a complete TB
symptom review and tests as described in the Department’s Investigative Guidelines.
2010-2011 Intergovernmental Agreement for the Financing of Public Health Services Page 10 of 148 pages
132011 pgm.DOC - Deschutes County
j. Interjurisdictional Transfer : A TB suspect, case or contact transferred for follow-up
evaluation and care from another jurisdiction either within or outside of Oregon.
k. Investigative Guidelines: Department guidelines, dated as of October 2009, which are
incorporated herein by this reference are available for review at (new link to be inserted) .
l. Latent TB Infection (LTBI): TB disease in a person whose immune system is keeping the
TB infection under control. LTBI is also referred to as TB in a dormant stage.
m. Medical Evaluation: A complete medical examination of an individual for tuberculosis
including a medical history, physical examination, TB skin test or QuantiFERON –TB Gold
test, chest x-ray, and any appropriate bacteriologic/histologic examinations.
n. Suspected Case: A suspected case is an individual whose illness is thought by a health care
provider, as defined in OAR 333-017-0000, to be likely due to a reportable disease,
infection, or condition, as described in OAR 333-018-0015, or whose illness meets defining
criteria published in the Department’s Investigative Guidelines. This suspicion may be
based on signs, symptoms, or laboratory findings.
o. TB Case Management: Dynamic and systematic management of a case of TB where a
person, known as a case manager, is assigned responsibility for the management of an
individual TB case to ensure completion of treatment. TB Case Management requires a
collaborative approach to providing and coordinating health care services for the individual.
The case manager is responsible for ensuring adequate TB treatment, coordinating care as
needed, performing contact investigations and following infected contacts through
completion of treatment, identifying barriers to care and implementing strategies to remove
those barriers.
3. Procedural and Operational Requirements.
a. LPHA must include the following minimum TB services in its TB investigation and control
program if that program is supported in whole or in part with funds provided under this
Agreement, as defined above and further described below and in the Department’s

active TB disease identified by or reported to LPHA whose residence is in LPHA’s
jurisdiction, to confirm the diagnosis of TB and ensure completion of adequate therapy.
(ii) LPHA must require individuals who reside in LPHA’s jurisdiction and who LPHA
suspects of having active TB disease, to receive appropriate medical examinations and
laboratory testing to confirm the diagnosis of TB and response to therapy, through the
completion of treatment. LPHA must assist in arranging the laboratory testing and
medical examination, as necessary.
2010-2011 Intergovernmental Agreement for the Financing of Public Health Services Page 11 of 148 pages
132011 pgm.DOC - Deschutes County
(iii) LPHA must provide medication for the treatment of TB to all individuals who reside in
LPHA’s jurisdiction and who have TB but who do not have the means to purchase TB
medications or for whom obtaining or using identified means is a barrier to TB
treatment compliance. LPHA must monitor, at least monthly and in person, individuals
receiving medication(s) for adherence to treatment guidelines, medication side effects,
and clinical response to treatment.
(iv) LPHA must develop a plan to ensure patient adherence with TB treatment guidelines
for each individual within LPHA’s jurisdiction identified by or reported to LPHA as
having active TB disease. This plan should include the use of DOT for the majority of
patients. If DOT will not be used, other methods to ensure patient adherence with
treatment guidelines must be utilized and documented (e.g. monthly pill counts or
other). Evidence of patient adherence (such as DOT records) must be documented in
each individual’s chart.
(v) DOT Guidelines : DOT is the standard of care for the treatment of TB. Virtually all
cases of active TB disease should be treated via DOT. If DOT is not utilized, the LPHA
may be asked to justify to Department why DOT was not used for that particular
individual.
The clinical indications and socioeconomic factors listed below are strong indicators
that DOT is necessary to ensure adequate treatment of the individual and to prevent
acquired drug resistant TB. Patients with the following risk factors must be on DOT. If
patients with any of the below circumstances will not be on DOT for any reason during
their course of treatment, the Department must be contacted and a plan to ensure
compliance discussed.
(A) Clinical indications which may require DOT include:
(I) HIV and TB co-infection
(II) Reactivation of TB disease or history of previous TB treatment
(III) MDR-TB
(IV) Smear positivity
(V) Cavitary disease
(VI) History of drug and alcohol abuse within the last 6 months
(VII) Evidence of severe malnourishment with BMI <18.5
(VIII) Patient < 18 years old
(B) Socioeconomic factors which require DOT include:
(I) Homelessness
(II) History of failure to arrive for clinic appointments and/or noncooperation
with LPHA interventions and/or history of non-adherence with
prescribed medical therapy (TB or other)
(III) Presence of child/children or immunocompromised individual in the
household
(IV) Resident of a congregate setting such as jail, long term care facility,
group home or homeless shelter.
2010-2011 Intergovernmental Agreement for the Financing of Public Health Services Page 12 of 148 pages
132011 pgm.DOC - Deschutes County
(V) Patient unable to self-administer medications due to mental, physical, or
emotional impairments
(VI) Patient shows poor understanding of TB diagnosis, or non-acceptance of
diagnosis. Consider level of understanding especially carefully for
patients with low literacy and/or low levels of English proficiency.
(C) Patients not on DOT initially must start DOT if any of the following occur:
(I) Slow sputum culture conversion (culture still positive > 2 months after
treatment started)
(II) Slow clinical improvement or clinical deterioration while on TB therapy
(III) Adverse reaction to TB medications
(IV) Significant interruptions in therapy due to nonadherence
(vi) LPHA may assist the patient in completion of treatment by utilizing the below methods.
Methods to ensure adherence should be documented.
(A) Proposed interventions for assisting the individual to overcome obstacles to
treatment adherence (e.g. assistance with transportation).
(B) Proposed use of incentives and enablers to encourage the individual’s
compliance with the treatment plan.
(vii) With respect to each case of TB within LPHA’s jurisdiction that is identified by or
reported to LPHA, LPHA shall perform a contact investigation to identify contacts,
associated cases and source of infection. The LPHA must evaluate all located contacts,
or confirm that all located contacts were advised of their risk for TB infection and
disease.
The LPHA must offer or advise each located contact identified with TB infection or
disease, or confirm that all located contacts were offered or advised, to take appropriate
therapy and shall monitor each contact who starts treatment through the completion of
treatment (or discontinuation of treatment).
c. If LPHA receives in-kind resources under this agreement in the form of medications for
treating TB, LPHA shall use those medications to treat individuals for TB. In the event of a
non-TB related emergency (i.e. meningococcal contacts), with notification to TB Program,
the LPHA may use these medications to address the emergent situation.
d. The LPHA will present TB cases through participation in the quarterly cohort review. If
the LPHA is unable to present the TB case at the designated time, other arrangements shall
be made in collaboration with the Department.
e. The LPHA will accept Class B waivers and interjurisdictional transfers for evaluation and
follow-up, as appropriate for LPHA capabilities.
4. Reporting Obligations and Periodic Reporting Requirements. LPHA shall prepare and
submit the following reports to the Department:
2010-2011 Intergovernmental Agreement for the Financing of Public Health Services Page 13 of 148 pages
132011 pgm.DOC - Deschutes County
a. LPHA shall notify the Department’s TB Program of each case or suspected case of active
TB disease identified by or reported to LPHA no later than 5 business days within receipt of

suspected case is either confirmed to have TB disease or determined not to have TB
Disease. The LPHA shall utilize the Department’s “TB Disease Case Report Form” for this
purpose. After a case of TB disease has concluded treatment, case completion information
shall be sent to the Department’s TB Program utilizing the “TB Disease Case Report Form”
within 5 business days of conclusion of treatment.
b. LPHA shall submit the “TB Contact Investigation Form” to the Department’s TB Program
in accordance with the timelines described in the instructions for the reporting forms
designated by the Department for this purpose. Contact investigations are not required for
strictly extrapulmonary cases. Consult with local medical support as needed.
5. Performance Measures. If LPHA uses funds provided under this agreement to support its TB
investigation and control program, LPHA shall operate its program in a manner designed to
achieve the following national TB performance goals by 2015:
a. For patients with newly diagnosed TB for whom 12 months or less of treatment is
indicated, 93.0% will complete treatment within 12 months .

community members and established in accordance with CDC guidelines, which are
available for review at http://www.cdc.gov/od/pgo/forms/hiv.htm , that reviews and approves
for appropriateness the HIV prevention informational materials that are distributed in the
counties in which LPHA provides HIV prevention services. Review panels may be
convened by Department or the LPHA.
j. Preliminary Positive: A result from a Rapid HIV Test that indicates HIV antibodies are in
the blood of the person tested. A preliminary positive test result must be followed up with a
traditional serum or oral fluid HIV test to determine if the individual is actually infected
with HIV.
k. Rapid HIV Test: An FDA-approved HIV test that yields negative and preliminary positive
test results within a short time period (less than 30 minutes) after processing specimen.
l. Structural activities: Activities that remove barriers to the delivery of HIV prevention
services in the LPHA service area. (Examples include working with police to support harm
reduction services to injection drug users, working with Department of Transportation
officials to support outreach activities in road rest areas, etc.)
m. Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments or CLIA: Federal legislation that
governs the licensing of laboratories
n. CLIA Certificate of Waiver: Allows laboratory to perform simple laboratory tests.

used, in accordance with and subject to the requirements and limitations set forth below, to
deliver Sexually Transmitted Disease Case Management Services to protect the health of
Oregonians from infectious disease and to prevent the long-term adverse consequences of
failing to identify and treat STDs. Sexually Transmitted Disease Case Management Services
include but are not limited to case finding and disease surveillance, medical supplies, health
care provider services, examination rooms, clinical and laboratory diagnostic services,
treatment, prevention, intervention, education activities, and medical follow-up.
2. Definitions Specific to STD Case Management Services.
a. Contact Interview: A contact interview is an interview conducted with an STD infected
individual. The objective of the interview is to prevent further spread of disease through the
prompt identification and examination of all elicited partners of the infected individual.
The interview is designed to ensure that the individual understands the seriousness of the
disease, and motivates the individual to cooperate with STD/HIV control efforts.
b. Disease Intervention Specialist or DIS: A DIS (sometimes also referred to as a
Communicable Disease Investigator or CDI) is an individual employed by Department or a
local public health authority that is specially trained to provide components of STD Case
Management Services, i.e. client interviewing, partner notification and referral, untreated
patient referral, education activities and consultation for individuals diagnosed with an
STD. Additional duties can be performed only with the approval of DHS.
c. Report Format: The designated form for reporting a STD case or suspected STD case to
Department, which is form DHS 8352. A copy of the form is available from Department
upon request.

EXHIBIT E
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. Disbursement and Recovery of Financial Assistance.
a. Disbursement Generally. Subject to the conditions precedent set forth below and except
as otherwise specified in an applicable footnote in the Financial Assistance Award,
Department shall disburse the financial assistance awarded for a particular Program
Element, as described in the Financial Assistance Award, to LPHA in substantially equal
monthly allotments during the period specified in the Financial Assistance Award for that
Program Element, subject to the following:
i. At the request of LPHA, Department may adjust monthly disbursements of financial
assistance to meet LPHA program needs.
ii. Department may reduce monthly disbursements of financial assistance as a result of,
and consistent with, LPHA’s underexpenditure of prior disbursements.
iii. After providing LPHA 30 days advance notice, Department may withhold monthly
disbursements of financial assistance if any of LPHA’s reports required to be submitted
to Department under Section 8 of this Exhibit E or that otherwise are not submitted in a
timely manner or are incomplete or inaccurate subject to Exhibit C, Sections 2, 3, or 4.
Department may withhold the disbursements under this subsection until the reports have
been submitted or corrected to Department’s satisfaction.
Department may disburse to LPHA financial assistance for a Program Element in advance
of LPHA’s expenditure of funds on delivery of the services within that Program Element,
subject to Department recovery at Agreement Settlement of any excess disbursement. The
mere disbursement of financial assistance to LPHA in accordance with the disbursement
procedures described above does not vest in LPHA an y right to retain those funds.
Disbursements are considered an advance of funds to LPHA which LPHA may retain only
to the extent the funds are expended in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.
b. Conditions Precedent to Disbursement. Department’s obligation to disburse financial
assistance to LPHA under this Agreement is subject to satisfaction, with respect to each
disbursement, of each of the following conditions precedent:
i. No LPHA default as described in Section 12 of this Exhibit has occurred.
ii. LPHA’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 of this Exhibit are true
and correct on the date of disbursement with the same effect as though made on the

2010-2011 Intergovernmental Agreement for the Financing of Public Health Services Page 120 of 148 pages
132011 pgm.DOC - Deschutes County
c. Recovery of Financial Assistance.
i. Notice of Underexpenditure or Misexpenditure. If Department believes there has been
an Underexpenditure (as defined in Exhibit A) of moneys disbursed under this Agreement,
Department shall provide LPHA with written notice thereof and Department and LPHA
shall engage in the process described in Section 1.c.ii. below. If Department believes there
has been a Misexpenditure (as defined in Exhibit A) of moneys disbursed to LPHA under
this Agreement, Department shall provide LPHA with written notice thereof and
Department and LPHA shall engage in the process described in Section 1.c.iii.
ii. Recovery of Underexpenditure.
(A) LPHA’s Response. LPHA shall have 90 calendar days from the effective date of
the notice of Underexpenditure to pay the Department in full or notify the
Department that it wishes to engage in the appeals process set forth in Section
1.c.ii.(B) below. If LPHA fails to respond within that 90-day time period, LPHA
shall promptly pay the noticed Underexpenditure.
(B) Appeals Process. If LPHA notifies Department that it wishes to engage in an
appeal process, LPHA and the Department shall engage in non-binding discussions
to give the LPHA an opportunity to present reasons why it believes that there is no
Underexpenditure, or that the amount of the Underexpenditure is different than the
amount identified by the Department, and to give the Department the opportunity to
reconsider its notice. LPHA and Department may negotiate an appropriate
apportionment of responsibility for the repayment of an Underexpenditure. At
LPHA request, Department will meet and negotiate with LPHA in good faith
concerning appropriate apportionment of responsibility for repayment of an
Underexpenditure. In determining an appropriate apportionment of responsibility,
LPHA and Department may consider any relevant factors. An example of a relevant
factor is the extent to which either party contributed to an interpretation of a statute,
regulation or rule prior to the expenditure that was officially reinterpreted after the
expenditure. If the Department and LPHA reach agreement on the amount owed to
Department, LPHA shall promptly repay that amount to Department by issuing
payment to Department or by directing Department to withhold future payments
pursuant to Section 1.c.ii.(C) below. If Department and LPHA continue to disagree
about whether there has been an Underexpenditure or the amount owed, the parties
may agree to consider further appropriate dispute resolution processes, including,
subject to Oregon Department of Justice and LPHA counsel approval, arbitration.
(C) Recovery From Future Payments. To the extent that the Department is entitled to
recover an Underexpenditure pursuant to Section 1.c.ii.(B), Department may
recover the Underexpenditure by offsetting the amount thereof against future
amounts owed to LPHA by Department, including, but not limited to, any amount
owed to LPHA by Department under any other contract or agreement between
LPHA and Department, present or future. Department shall provide LPHA written
notice of its intent to recover the amounts of the Underexpenditure from amounts
owed LPHA by Department as set forth in this Section 1.c.ii.(C), and shall identify
the amounts owed by Department which the Department intends to offset,
2010-2011 Intergovernmental Agreement for the Financing of Public Health Services Page 121 of 148 pages
132011 pgm.DOC - Deschutes County
(including the contracts or agreements, if any, under which the amounts owed arose)
LPHA shall then have 14 calendar days from the date of Department's notice in
which to request the deduction be made from other amounts owed to LPHA by
Department and identified by LPHA. Department shall comply with LPHA’s
request for alternate offset, unless the LPHA’s proposed alternative offset would
cause the Department to violate federal or state statutes, administrative rules or
other applicable authority, or would result in a delay in recovery that exceeds three
months. In the event that Department and LPHA are unable to agree on which
specific amounts, owed to County by Department, the Department may offset in
order to recover the amount of the Underexpenditure, then the Department may
select the particular contracts or agreements between Department and LPHA and
amounts from which it will recover the amount of the Underexpenditure, within the
following limitations: Department shall first look to amounts owed to LPHA (but
unpaid) under this Agreement. If that amount is insufficient, then Department may
look to any other amounts currently owing or owed in the future to LPHA by
Department. In no case, without the prior consent of LPHA, shall the Department
deduct from any one payment due LPHA under the contract or agreement from
which Department is offsetting funds an amount in excess of twenty-five percent
(25%) of that payment. The Department may look to as many future payments as
necessary in order to fully recover the amount of the Underexpenditure .
iii. Recovery of Misexpenditure.
(A) LPHA’s Response. From the effective date of the notice of Misexpenditure, LPHA
shall have the lesser of (i) 60 calendar days, or (ii) if a Misexpenditure relates to a
federal government request for reimbursement, 30 calendar days fewer than the
number of days (if any) the Department has to appeal a final written decision from
the federal government, to:
(i.) Make a payment to the Department in the full amount of the noticed
Misexpenditure identified by the Department;
(ii.) Notify the Department that LPHA wishes to repay the amount of the noticed
Misexpenditure from future payments pursuant to Section 1.c.iii.(C) below;
or
(iii.) Notify the Department that it wishes to engage in the applicable appeal
process set forth in Section 1.c.iii.(B) below.
If LPHA fails to respond within the time required b y this Section 1.c.iii.(A),
Department may recover the amount of the noticed Misexpenditure from future
payments as set forth in Section 1.c.iii.(C) below.
(B) Appeal Process. If LPHA notifies Department that it wishes to engage in an appeal
process with respect to a noticed Misexpenditure, the parties shall comply with the
following procedures, as applicable:
2010-2011 Intergovernmental Agreement for the Financing of Public Health Services Page 122 of 148 pages
132011 pgm.DOC - Deschutes County
(i.) Appeal from Department-Identified Misexpenditure. If the Department’s
notice of Misexpenditure is based on a Misexpenditure solely of the type
described in Section 13(b) or (c) of Exhibit A, LPHA and the Department
shall engage in the process described in this Section 1.c.iii.(B)(I) to resolve a
dispute regarding the noticed Misexpenditure. First, LPHA and Department
shall engage in non-binding discussions to give LPHA an opportunity to
present reasons why it believes that there is, in fact, no Misexpenditure or
that the amount of the Misexpenditure is different than the amount identified
by the Department, and to give the Department the opportunity to reconsider
its notice. LPHA and Department may negotiate an appropriate
apportionment of responsibility for the repayment of a Misexpenditure. At
LPHA request, Department will meet and negotiate with LPHA in good faith
concerning appropriate apportionment of responsibility for repayment of a
Misexpenditure. In determining an appropriate apportionment of
responsibility, LPHA and Department may consider any relevant factors.
An example of a relevant factor is the extent to which either party
contributed to an interpretation of a statute, regulation or rule prior to the
expenditure that was officially reinterpreted after the expenditure. If the
Department and LPHA reach agreement on the amount owed to the
Department, LPHA shall promptly repay that amount to Department by
issuing payment to Department or by directing Department to withhold
future payments pursuant to Section 1.c.iii.(C) below. If Department and
LPHA continue to disagree as to whether or not there has been a
Misexpenditure or as to the amount owed, the parties may agree to consider
further appropriate dispute resolution processes including, subject to Oregon
Department of Justice and LPHA counsel approval, arbitration.
(ii.) Appeal from Federal-Identified Misexpenditure.
(a) If the Department’s notice of Misexpenditure of the type described in
Section 13(a) of Exhibit A and the relevant federal agency provides a
process either by statute or administrative rule to appeal the
determination of improper use of Federal Funds, the notice of
disallowance or other federal identification of improper use of funds and
if the disallowance is not based on a federal or state court judgment
founded in allegations of Medicaid fraud or abuse, then LPHA may,
prior to 30 days prior to the applicable federal appeals deadline, request
that Department appeal the determination of improper use, notice of
disallowance or other federal identification of improper use of funds in
accordance with the process established or adopted by the federal
agency. If LPHA so requests that Department appeal the determination
of improper use of Federal Funds, federal notice of disallowance or other
federal identification of improper use of funds, the amount in
controversy shall, at the option of LPHA, be retained by the LPHA or
returned to the Department pending the final federal decision resulting
from the initial appeal If the LPHA does request, prior to the deadline
set forth above, that the Department appeal, the Department shall appeal
the determination of improper use, notice of disallowance or other
federal identification of improper use of funds in accordance with the
2010-2011 Intergovernmental Agreement for the Financing of Public Health Services Page 123 of 148 pages
132011 pgm.DOC - Deschutes County
established process and shall pursue the appeal until a decision is issued
by the Departmental Grant Appeals Board of the Department of Health
and Human Services (the “Grant Appeals Board”) pursuant to the
process for appeal set forth in 45 C.F.R. Subtitle A, Part 16, or an
equivalent decision is issued under the appeal process established or
adopted by the federal agency. LPHA and Department shall cooperate
with each other in pursuing the appeal. If the Grant Appeals Board or its
equivalent denies the appeal then either LPHA, Department, or both
may, in their discretion, pursue further appeals. Regardless of any
further appeals, within 90 days of the date the federal decision resulting
from the initial appeal is final, LPHA shall repay to Department the
amount of the noticed Misexpenditure (reduced, if at all, as a result of
the appeal) by issuing payment to Department or by directing
Department to withhold future payments pursuant to Section 1.c.iii.(C)
below. To the extent that LPHA retained any of the amount in
controversy while the appeal was pending, the LPHA shall pay to
Department the interest, if any, charged by the federal government on
such amount.
(b) If the relevant federal agency does not provide a process either by statute
or administrative rule to appeal the determination of improper use of
federal funds, the notice of disallowance or other federal identification of
improper use of funds or LPHA does not request that Department pursue
an appeal prior to 30 days prior to the applicable federal appeals
deadline, and if Department does not appeal, then within 90 days of the
date the federal determination of improper use of federal funds, the
federal notice of disallowance or other federal identification of improper
use of funds is final LPHA shall repay to Department the amount of the
noticed Misexpenditure by issuing a payment to Department or by
directing Department to withhold future payments pursuant to Section
1.c.iii.(C) below.
(c) If LPHA does not request that Department pursue an appeal of the
determination of improper use of federal funds, the notice of
disallowance or other federal identification of improper use of funds,
prior to 30 days prior to the applicable federal appeals deadline but
Department nevertheless appeals, LPHA shall repay to Department the
amount of the noticed Misexpenditure (reduced, if at all, as a result of
the appeal) within 90 days of the date the federal decision resulting from
the appeal is final, by issuing payment to Department or by directing
Department to withhold future payments pursuant to Section 1.c.iii.(C)
below.
(d) Notwithstanding Section 1.c.iii.(A)(I) through (III), if the
Misexpenditure was expressly authorized by a Department rule or a
Department writing that applied when the expenditure was made, but
was prohibited by federal statutes or regulations that applied when the
expenditure was made, LPHA will not be responsible for repaying the
amount of the misexpenditure to Department, provided that:
2010-2011 Intergovernmental Agreement for the Financing of Public Health Services Page 124 of 148 pages
132011 pgm.DOC - Deschutes County
(1) Where post-expenditure official reinterpretation of federal statutes or
regulations results in a Misexpenditure, LPHA and Department will
meet and negotiate in good faith an appropriate apportionment of
responsibility between them for repayment of the Misexpenditure.
(2) For purposes of this Section 1.c(iii)(B)(II)(d), a Department writing
must interpret this Agreement or a Department rule and be signed by
the Director of the Department or by one of the following DHS
officers concerning services in the category where the officers are
listed:

request, Department shall notify LPHA of the names of individual
officers with the above titles. Department shall send Department
writings described in this paragraph to LPHA by mail and email, and
to CMHP directors by email.
(3) The writing must be in response to a request from LPHA for
expenditure authorization, or a statement intended to provide official
guidance to LPHA or counties generally for making expenditures
under this Agreement. The writing must not be contrary to this
Agreement or contrary to law or other applicable authority that is
clearly established at the time of the writing.
2010-2011 Intergovernmental Agreement for the Financing of Public Health Services Page 125 of 148 pages
132011 pgm.DOC - Deschutes County
(4) If the Department writing is in response to a request from LPHA for
expenditure authorization, the request must be in writing and signed
by the director of a LPHA department with authority to make such a
request or by the LPHA Counsel. It must identify the supporting
data, provisions of this Agreement and provisions of applicable law
relevant to determining if the expenditure should be authorized.
(5) A Department writing expires on the date stated in the writing, or if
no expiration date is stated, six years from the date of the writing.
An expired Department writing continues to apply to LPHA
expenditures that were made in compliance with the writing and
during the term of the writing.
(6) The Department may revoke or revise a Department writing at any
time if it determines in its sole discretion that the writing allowed
expenditure in violation of this Agreement or law or any other
applicable authority.
(7) The Department rule does not authorize an expenditure that this
Agreement prohibits.
(C) Recovery From Future Payments. To the extent that Department is entitled to
recover a Misexpenditure pursuant to Section 1.c.iii.(B)(I) or (II), Department may
recover the Misexpenditure by offsetting the amount thereof against future amounts
owed to LPHA by Department, including but not limited to, any amount owed to
LPHA by Department under this Agreement or any amount owed to LPHA by
Department under any other contract or agreement between LPHA and Department,
present or future. Department shall provide LPHA written notice of its intent to
recover the amount of the Misexpenditure from amounts owed LPHA by
Department as set forth in this Section 1.c.iii.(C) and shall identify the amounts
owed by Department that the Department intends to offset (including the contracts
or agreements, if any, under which the amounts owed arose). LPHA shall then have
14 calendar days from the date of Department's notice in which to request the
deduction be made from other amounts owed to LPHA by Department and
identified by LPHA. Department shall comply with LPHA’s request for alternate
offset, unless the LPHA’s proposed alternative offset would cause the Department
to violate federal or state statutes, administrative rules or other applicable authority.
In the event that Department and LPHA are unable to agree on which specific
amounts are owed to LPHA by Department, that Department may offset in order to
recover the amount of the Misexpenditure, then the Department may select the
particular amounts from which it will recover the amount of the Misexpenditure,
within the following limitations: Department shall first look to amounts owed to
LPHA (but unpaid) under this Agreement. If that amount is insufficient, then
Department may look to any other amounts currently owing or owed in the future to
LPHA by Department. In no case, without the prior consent of LPHA, shall the
Department deduct from any one payment due LPHA under the contract or
agreement from which Department is offsetting funds an amount in excess of
twenty-five percent (25%) of that payment. The Department may look to as many
2010-2011 Intergovernmental Agreement for the Financing of Public Health Services Page 126 of 148 pages
132011 pgm.DOC - Deschutes County
future payments as necessary in order to fully recover the amount of the
Misexpenditure.
d. Additional Provisions related to parties rights/obligations with respect to
Underexpenditures and Misexpenditures.
i. LPHA shall cooperate with Department in the Agreement Settlement process.
ii. Department's right to recover Underexpenditures and Misexpenditures from LPHA
under this Agreement is not subject to or conditioned on LPHA’s recovery of any
money from any other entity.
iii. If the exercise of the Department's right to offset under this provision requires the
LPHA to complete a re-budgeting process, nothing in this provision shall be construed
to prevent the LPHA from fully complying with its budgeting procedures and
obligations, or from implementing decisions resulting from those procedures and
obligations.
(A) Nothing in this provision shall be construed as a requirement or agreement by the

must be included in a Provider Contract under the terms of this Agreement or that are necessary
to implement Program Element service delivery in accordance with the applicable Program
Element Descriptions and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement. LPHA shall
maintain an originally executed copy of each Provider Contract at its office and shall furnish a
copy of any Provider Contract to Department upon request.

services and promptly report to Department when LPHA identifies a major deficiency in a
Provider’s delivery of a Program Element service or in a Provider’s compliance with the
Provider Contract between the Provider and LPHA. LPHA shall promptly take all necessary
action to remedy any identified deficiency. LPHA shall also monitor the fiscal performance of
each Provider and shall take all lawful management and legal action necessary to pursue this
responsibility. In the event of a major deficiency in a Provider’s delivery of a Program
Element service or in a Provider’s compliance with the Provider Contract between the Provider
and LPHA, nothing in this Agreement shall limit or qualify any right or authority Department

reviews of all Program Element services delivered by LPHA.

law, following the termination of this Agreement. If there are unresolved audit or

hereunder for employee compensation in accordance with Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) Circular A-87 and, when required by Department, utilize time/activity
studies in accounting for expenditures of financial assistance provided hereunder for
employee compensation. LPHA shall maintain accurate property records of non-

Provider Contracts related to this Agreement.

Agreement, in which LPHA expends and receives financial assistance awarded to LPHA by

Agreement, (b) termination by Department of Department’s obligation to provide financial

Provider or a citizen providing services or residing within LPHA’s service area, attend
Department training or a Department conference or business meeting and LPHA has obligated

15. Effect of Termination
a. Upon termination of this Agreement in its entirety, Department shall have no further
obligation to pay or disburse financial assistance to LPHA under this Agreement, whether
or not Department has paid or disbursed to LPHA all financial assistance described in the
Financial Assistance Award, except (a) with respect to funds described in the Financial
Assistance Award, to the extent Department’s disbursement of financial assistance for a
particular Program Element service, the financial assistance for which is calculated on a
rate per unit of service or service capacity basis, is less than the applicable rate multiplied
by the number of applicable units of the Program Element service or Program Element
service capacity of that type performed or made available from the effective date of this
Agreement through the termination date, and (b) with respect to funds described in the
Financial Assistance Award, to the extent Department’s disbursement of financial
assistance for a particular Program Element service, the financial assistance for which is
calculated on a cost reimbursement basis, is less than the cumulative actual Allowable
Costs reasonably and necessarily incurred with respect to delivery of that Program Element
service, from the effective date of this Agreement through the termination date.
b. Upon termination of LPHA’s obligation to perform under a particular Program Element
service, Department shall have (a) no further obligation to pay or disburse financial

service whether or not Department has paid or disbursed to LPHA all financial assistance
described in the Financial Assistance Award for administration of that Program Element
and (b) no further obligation to pay or disburse any financial assistance to LPHA under this
Agreement for such Program Element service, whether or not Department has paid or
disbursed to LPHA all financial assistance described in the Financial Assistance Award for
such Program Element service except (1) with respect to funds described in the Financial
Assistance Award, to the extent Department’s disbursement of financial assistance for the
particular Program Element service, the financial assistance for which is calculated on a

service capacity of that type performed or made available during the period from the
effective date of this Agreement through the termination date, and (2) with respect to funds
described in the Financial Assistance Award, to the extent Department’s disbursement of

which is calculated on a cost reimbursement basis, is less than the cumulative actual
Allowable Costs reasonably and necessarily incurred by LPHA with respect to delivery of
that Program Element service during the period from the effective date of this Agreement
through the termination date.
2010-2011 Intergovernmental Agreement for the Financing of Public Health Services Page 134 of 148 pages
132011 pgm.DOC - Deschutes County
c. Upon termination of Department’s obligation to provide financial assistance under this
Agreement for a particular Program Element service, LPHS shall have no further obligation
under this Agreement to provide that Program Element service.
d. Disbursement Limitations. Notwithstanding subsections a. and b. above, under no
circumstances will Department be obligated to provide financial assistance to LPHA for a
particular Program Element service in excess of the amount awarded under this Agreement
for that Program Element service as set forth in the Financial Assistance Award.
e. Survival. Exercise of a termination right set forth in Section 14 of this Exhibit E or
termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, shall not affect LPHA’s right to
receive financial assistance to which it is entitled hereunder as described in subsections a.
and b. above or the right of the Department or LPHA to invoke the dispute resolution
processes under Sections 17 and 18 below. Notwithstanding subsections a. and b. above,
exercise of the termination rights in Section 14 of this Exhibit E or termination of this
Agreement in accordance with its terms, shall not affect LPHA’s obligations under this
Agreement or Department’s right to enforce this Agreement against LPHA in accordance
with its terms, with respect to financial assistance actually disbursed by Department under
this Agreement, or with respect to Program Element services actually delivered.
Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, exercise of a
termination right set forth in Section 14 of this Exhibit E or termination of this Agreement
in accordance with its terms shall not affect LPHA’s representations and warranties;
reporting obligations; record-keeping and access obligations; confidentiality obligations;
obligation to comply with applicable federal requirements; the restrictions and limitations
on LPHA’s expenditure of financial assistance actually disbursed by Department hereunder,
LPHA’s obligation to cooperate with Department in the Agreement Settlement process; or
Department’s right to recover from LPHA; in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
any financial assistance disbursed by Department under this Agreement that is identified as
an Underexpenditure or Misexpenditure. If a termination right set forth in Section 14 of
this Exhibit E is exercised, both parties shall make reasonable good faith efforts to
minimize unnecessary disruption or other problems associated with the termination.
16. Funds Available and Authorized. The provision of financial assistance to the LPHA by the
Department pursuant to this Agreement is conditioned upon the Department receiving funding,
appropriations, limitations, allotment, or other expenditure authority, together with related
funds, sufficient to allow the Department, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, to meet its
funding obligations under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to
permit any violation of Article XI, section 7 of the Oregon Constitution or any other law
regulating liabilities or monetary obligations of the State of Oregon.
17. Effect of Amendments Reducing Financial Assistance. If LPHA and Department amend this
Agreement to reduce the amount of financial assistance awarded for a particular Program
Element, LPHA is not required by this Agreement to utilize other LPHA funds to replace the
funds no longer received under this Agreement as a result of the amendment, and LPHA may,
from and after the date of the amendment, reduce the quantity of that Program Element service
included in its public health program commensurate with the amount of the reduction in
financial assistance awarded for that Program Element. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall
affect LPHA’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to financial assistance actually
2010-2011 Intergovernmental Agreement for the Financing of Public Health Services Page 135 of 148 pages
132011 pgm.DOC - Deschutes County
disbursed by Department under this Agreement or with respect to Program Element services
actually delivered.
18. Resolution of Disputes over Additional Financial Assistance Owed LPHA After
Termination. If, after termination of this Agreement, LPHA believes that Department
disbursements of financial assistance under this Agreement for a particular Program Element
are less than the amount of financial assistance that Department is obligated to provide to
LPHA under this Agreement for that Program Element, as determined in accordance with the
applicable financial assistance calculation methodology, LPHA shall provide Department with
written notice thereof. Department shall have 90 calendar days from the effective date of
LPHA's notice to pay LPHA in full or notify LPHA that it wishes to engage in a dispute
resolution process. If Department notifies LPHA that it wishes to engage in a dispute
resolution process, LPHA and Department's Assistant Administrator shall engage in non-
binding discussion to give Department an opportunity to present reasons why it believes that it
does not owe LPHA any additional financial assistance or that the amount owed is different
than the amount identified by LPHA in its notices, and to give LPHA the opportunity to
reconsider its notice. If Department and LPHA reach agreement on the additional amount
owed to LPHA, Department shall promptly pay that amount to LPHA. If Department and
LPHA continue to disagree as to the amount owed, the parties may agree to consider further
appropriate dispute resolution processes, including, subject to Oregon Department of Justice
and LPHA counsel approval, binding arbitration. Nothing in this Section shall preclude the
LPHA from raising underpayment concerns at any time prior to termination of this Agreement
under Section 18 below.
19. Resolution of Disputes, Generally. In addition to other processes to resolve disputes provided
in this Exhibit, either party may notify the other party that it wishes to engage in a dispute
resolution process. Upon such notification, the parties shall engage in non-binding discussion
to resolve the dispute. If the parties do not reach agreement as a result of non-binding
discussion, the parties may agree to consider further appropriate dispute resolution processes,
including, subject to Oregon Department of Justice and LPHA counsel approval, binding
arbitration. The rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement are not intended to be
exhaustive and the exercise by either party of any right or remedy does not preclude the
exercise of any other rights or remedies at law or in equity.
20. Nothing in this Exhibit shall require LPHA or Department to act in violation of state or federal
constitutions, statutes, regulations or rules.
