Fiscal Note
Funds are included in the 2012 Adopted Public Health Operating Budget. No additional appropriation is necessary. Joint costs of $60,000 will be shared on the equalized value ratio, which allocates $26,724 to the City and $33,276 to the County. The City of Madison will contract with Public Health for an additional $18,276 of services to be provided only within the City. Total City support for this service therefore amounts to $45,000. (See highlight #3 of the 2012 Executive Operating Budget, page 41.)
Title
A Resolution authorizing the Board of Health for Madison and Dane County to enter into a contract for purchase of services with Safe Community Coalition of Madison and Dane County, Inc. to coordinate the Poisoning/Opiates Initiative
Body
Preamble:
The executive budgets submitted by both the Mayor and County Executive established a new poisoning/opiates initiative in 2012. City support will be $45,000; Dane County support will be $33,276.
The initiative will include organizing a summit, which will be held in early 2012. Several strategy area workgroups will develop action that is based on evidence-based or promising practice. These workgroup recommendations will be compiled and a work plan developed.
MGO 4.26 requires a request for proposal (RFP) process for contracts over $40,000, although it allows exceptions to sole source a contract with approval of Common Council. With this resolution, Common Council is being asked to authorize a contract with Safe Community Coalition of Madison and Dane County, Inc. to coordinate the poisoning/opiates initiative.
WHEREAS Public Health-Madison and Dane County was requested by both the Common Council and the Dane County Board of Supervisors to work with partners to develop a poisoning/opiates initiative; and
WHEREAS planning for a summit is being coordinated by Safe Community Coalition of Madison and Dane County, Inc.; and
WHEREAS $78,276 was added to the 2011 Public Health operating budget by the Mayor and County Executive in their executive budgets and these funds were approved by the two legislative bodies; and
WHEREAS the Inter-Governmental Agreement created Public Health-Madison and Dane County requires that the department follow City of Madison purchasing guidelines, and MGO 4.26 allows exceptions to the request-for-proposal process with approval of the Common Council; and
WHEREAS the Safe Community Coalition of Madison and Dane County, Inc. is uniquely qualified to administer the poisoning/opiates initiative and Public Health-Madison and Dane County believes that a contract with Safe Communities Coalition of Dane County is in the best interest of the City of Madison and Dane County and honors the planning that has already been done;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Common Council of the City of Madison authorizes the Board of Health for Madison and Dane County, on behalf of Public Health-Madison and Dane County to enter into a contract for the coordination and operation of a poisoning/opiates initiative for $78,276 with the Safe Community Coalition of Madison and Dane County, Inc.;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the contract is for one year, with the possibility of two one-year renewals if funding is appropriated by the City of Madison Common Council and the Dane County Board of Supervisors. The Director of Public Health-Madison and Dane County is authorized to sign the agreement.
