Title
Board of Health-Madison & Dane County Resolution #2020-05 Authorization of Transfers for COVID-19 Response
Body
Public Health-Madison and Dane County (PHMDC) has been collaborating with local, state, and federal partners to respond to spread of the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, which causes the disease COVID-19. The scope of PHMDC responsibilities include:
· Monitoring travelers who have been to China and returned to Dane County after February 3 for symptoms;
· Ensuring isolation of any patients who are waiting for test results;
· Supplying patients with items they need to stay home for an extended period of time, such as groceries; and
· Following-up with anyone who has been in close contact with a person who has coronavirus and instructing them what to do to prevent the spread of the virus.
PHMDC has been closely tracking the resources invested in this response in order to be reimbursed for expenses accrued should funding become available from the Federal Government. PHMDC requests the approval of the temporary transfer of funds from the emergency preparedness budget in order to facilitate the tracking and anticipated reimbursement of expenses related to the COVID-19 response in 2020. In the event that we do not receive reimbursement, these expenses would be charged to reserves. Under the terms of the merger agreement, the Board of Health for Madison and Dane County may authorize PHMDC to move funds within appropriations during a fiscal year (IGA, VIII, G).
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 as outlined within the department and authorizes the Director of Public Health to accept reimbursement in the exact amount of expenses accrued during the COVID-19 response.
