Title
Board of Health Resolution #2019-22 Authorization of Budget Transfer of Enhancing Public Health Preparedness: The Opioid Epidemic (OEND) Grant Funds
Body
Public Health-Madison and Dane County (PHMDC) was previously awarded the Enhancing Public Health Preparedness: The Opioid Epidemic (OEND) Grant from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services on behalf of the Division of Public Health to strengthen public health preparedness and response around the ongoing opioid overdose epidemic in Wisconsin. Due to the timeline of spending the grant funding being extended from August 31, 2019 to November 30, 2019, and the needs to support implementation of overdose spike response alert systems, it is being proposed to move a portion of the grant funding from purchased services to personnel to support hours for our current LTE through the end of the grant period.
The transfer of funding within the OEND grant will address the following grant objectives:
• Implementation of an overdose spike response alert system and protocol
• Improving data surveillance and overdose detection
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Health for Madison and Dane County, on behalf of Public Health-Madison and Dane County, authorizes the transfer of the amounts of the Enhancing Public Health Preparedness: The Opioid Epidemic (OEND) Grant as outlined below, for the purpose of continuing funding for the Overdose Spike Response Coordinator LTE through the end of the extended grant period.
