Title
Joint resolution approving an emergency appropriation of $46,804.37 for Fiscal Year 2025 accepting additional funding from the Illinois Department of Public Health Disease Intervention Specialists Workforce Development Support Grant.
Staff Summary
• The Health Department received $46,804.37 in additional grant funding for the period of January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025, which was not previously appropriated because the grant resources were approved after the County’s adoption of the Fiscal Year 2025 budget.
• This funding is to support 21st-century outbreak response needs by expanding and enhancing frontline public health staff, conducting DIS workforce training and skills building, building organizational capacity for outbreak response, evaluating and improving recruitment, training, and outbreak response efforts.
• This will fund supplies, contractual services, indirect expenses, and 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.
