Staff Summary
• The $46,032 Health Resources and Services Administration grant will be used to purchase an interoperability engine.
• The total cost of the interoperability engine is funded in part by the grant and tax support.
• The $46,032 in additional grant funding has not been previously appropriated because the grant resources were secured after the County’s adoption of the Fiscal Year 2024 budget.

• If grant funding for the services ends, the department would have to identify alternate funding within their operational budget.
