Background:
Pursuant to Chapter 154, Florida Statutes, the intent of the Legislature is to promote, protect, maintain, and improve the health and safety of all citizens and visitors of the State of Florida through a system of coordinated county health department services. County Health Departments were established throughout Florida, including the County Health Department, to satisfy this legislative intent through the promotion of public health, control and eradication of preventable diseases, and provision of primary health care for special populations.
Each year, Seminole County contracts with the State of Florida Department of Health to provide funding and health services specified by the State to be delivered to the residents of Seminole County. The appropriation by Seminole County for FY2024-25 is an amount not to exceed $807,970 which is the same level of commitment as the County provided under the FY2023-24 contract. Approval of the contract is necessary to ensure continued coordination between the State and the County in the operation of the County Health Department and for the provision of services in FY2024-25.
Requested Action:
Staff requests the Board approve and authorize the Chairman to execute the Contract between Seminole County and the State of Florida Department of Health for operations of the Seminole County Health Department Contract Year 2024-25 in the amount not to exceed $807,970.
