Title
Joint resolution approving an emergency appropriation of $11,958 for Fiscal Year 2025 and accepting additional funding from the Illinois Department of Public Health Comprehensive Health Protection Grant, Tuberculosis Prevention Grant.
Staff Summary
• The Health Department received $11,958 in additional grant funding for the period of July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, which was not previously appropriated because the grant resources were approved after the County’s adoption of the Fiscal Year 2025 budget.
• This funding supports local tuberculosis control programs and efforts to treat individuals diagnosed with active tuberculosis disease.
• This will offset existing staff salary and fringe benefits.
• If funding for the positions and services end, and new funding is not secured, the positions and services will be eliminated.
