RESOLUTION INTRODUCED BY THE --HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES COMMITTEE TO ACCEPT AN ADDITIONAL AWARD AMOUNT FOR YEARS 2 AND 3 OF THE CHILDREN AND YOUTH WITH SPECIAL HEALTH CARE NEEDS PROGRAM
WHEREAS, the Sullivan County Department of Public Health has been awarded a 5-year contract for the NYS Department of Health Children with Youth and Special Health Care Needs Program in the amount of $61,003 annually; and
WHEREAS, the funding source has offered to provide additional funds via the Community Accessibility and Inclusion program in the amount of $33,382 for years 2 and 3 of the grant for the period 10/01/2026 - 10/01/2027 and 10/01/2027 - 9/30/2028 respectively; and
WHEREAS, resolution 372-25 authorized the County to only accept funds up to the limit of $60,657 each year; and
WHEREAS, there is no match required to accept the funds resulting in a simple increased award; and
WHEREAS, based on the funding structure if any County does not accept the additional funds they will be dispersed amongst consenting counties resulting in a potentially larger additional award than $33,382; and
WHEREAS, all grant awards must be approved by the County Legislature in the appropriate amount prior to executing and submitting an intent to participate and an acceptance of CAI funds would increase the award amount for years 2 and 3 from $61,003 to $94,385.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Sullivan County Legislature hereby authorizes the Director of Public Health (as required by the funding source) to execute any and all necessary documents to submit the Intent to Participate form for the additional CYSCHN funds; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Sullivan County Legislature hereby authorizes an additional award amount up to $40,000 for years 2 and 3 of the CYSCHN program to account for the potential provision of a greater award per the funding structure; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that should the Community and Accessibility and Inclusion program funding be terminated, the County shall not be obligated to continue any action undertaken by the use of this funding.
