GENERAL OPERATING FUND HEALTH DEPARTMENT PURPOSE AND MISSION OF THE DEPARTMENT / DIVISION
    ACCOUNT  001-2500-565
The City makes an annual appropriation to the Lawrence/Douglas County Health Department (LDCHD), whose mission is to protect and promote the health of the population of Douglas County.  The City's share of the LDCHD operating budget is 60% and the County pays 40%. The City also is responsible for 50% of the repairs and maintenance on the new City/County Health Building, which houses the offices of the LDCHD.  Those repair and maintenance costs are added to the LDCHD operating budget to make up this division's budget for the General Fund.  Revenue from the County (50% share) is included in the revenue projections for the General Fund.

Significant Issues for 2003 - The increase in Personal Services for 2003 can be attributed to the 3% general wage adjustment and merit increases for the eligible City employee assigned to this division to provide repair and maintenance services for the building. The City's appropriation to the operating budget for the Health Department, found in the Contractual Services category, will increase to make up for reduced funding provided by the State for the Teen Pregnancy Program ($28,000) and health care benefit costs for LDCHD personnel.
