On July 11, 2005 the Board approved a request to contribute the amount of $20,000 to support the Drug Treatment Court
Program. The State's budget cuts would have resulted in the elimination of the part-time case manager position, one of two

$20,352. Therefore, we request approval to budget the additional $352.

BRIEF SUMMARY:
As part of the EOC project, funds were designated to purchase tables and chairs for the EOC. The formal bid process was
followed and three bids were received. However, the Office Showcase submitted a written request within twenty-four (24)
hours of the bid opening to withdraw their bid due to an unintentional and substantial omission of a portion of the design of
the tables and the request was supported by objective evidence. Therefore, the bid from Office Showcase was removed
from consideration. The next lowest bid met all bid requirements which made MacThrift Office Furniture the lowest
responsible bidder.
Office Showcase $ 76,601.31 (removed from consideration due to bid error)
MacThrift Office Furniture $103,997.17
Forms and Supply $109,541.94
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:

Changes in the New Hanover County Health Department Fee Policy- Use of State Codes,
Implementation of Lab Codes, Implementation of an Administrative Penalty Fee for Delinquent
Patient Accounts, Adjusting "Proof of Income" Grace Period to 10 Business Days and Billing
(Third Party Payors) for Administration of State Provided Menactra Vaccine
BRIEF SUMMARY:
The New Hanover County Health Department is proposing to change its current Fee Policy, in order to:
Submit statistical data to the State through the use of State approved codes (referred to as Local Use (LU) Codes).
Retroactive effective date 07/01/05.
Implement use of Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) Codes 87081 (Culture-to be used for Family Planning visits)
and 82948 (Glucose, blood reagent strip--this will replace CPT 82962) for respective laboratory services. Fees for each
of these codes are set at $20.00. This reflects code changes, not cost changes.
Bill third party payors (private insurance companies and Medicaid) for the administration fee of State provided Menactra
vaccine for children. Fee for this service is $20.00. This is a new item.
Implement ability to apply a $15.00 administrative penalty fee to delinquent patient accounts. Administrative penalty be
"applied" to those delinquent accounts that are sent to NHC Legal for processing. Patient statements will be updated to
reflect this change, consistent with County codes.
Change Fee Policy Narrative, Section I, General Guidelines, Item F. to the following:
The New Hanover County Health Department (NHCHD) will require "proof of income" to reduce charges when applying
the sliding fee scale. If a patient is unable to produce this required information, they will be placed on a 100% sliding
fee scale status, for a period of ten (10) business days (inserting the word "business"). Fee Policy currently states "for
a period of ten (10) days". If proof of income is provided within the ten business-day period (inserting the word
"business"), the patient will be billed accordingly.
We anticipate approval by the Board of Health on November 2, 2005.

To accept and approve changes to the New Hanover County Health Department Fee Policy as presented.

Healthy Carolinians Funding Application
BRIEF SUMMARY:
Our local Healthy Carolinians Task Force, Cape Fear Healthy Carolinians, has the opportunity to apply for $5,000 from the
state office of Healthy Carolinians. This money can be used for various reasons outlined in the application, including staff.
Our local Task Force is currently restructuring to include Brunswick County. Through strategic planning we have chosen
four areas on which to concentrate. These are all high priority areas in each of the four recent community assessments.
The four focus areas are: Access to Care, Obesity, Childhood Injury and Domestic Violence.
The plans that we are establishing now will dictate the work of the entire task force for at least the next three years. A part-
time contract coordinator will be hired to work with each subcommittee to develop goals relative to the national Healthy
People 2010 objectives, complete the action plans for each of the focus areas, complete the task force certification, present
it to the entire task force, and submit to the State for certification by May 2006.
If funding is approved a total of $5,000 would be added to an established agreement for the department. Funds would be
reimbursed by the State as the money is spent at the rate of $20/hour. This funding would include one coordinator paid via
contract services for 250 hours from November 2005 through May 2006. No local match is required, nor is there a
requirement to continue this work after the grant period ends.
We anticipate approval by the Board of Health on November 2, 2005.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
To accept and approve our request to contract with a local professional to gain certification for the Cape Fear Healthy
Carolinians and to approve any associated budget amendment if funding is awarded.

Department: Health Presenter: Scott Harrelson, Assistant Health Director
Contact: Cindy Hewett, Business Manager
SUBJECT:
Primary Care Project Grant Application
BRIEF SUMMARY:
The New Hanover County Health Department received notification from the Division of Medical Assistance, Carolina
Access of the Lower Cape Fear, New Hanover County DSS and representatives of local pediatric groups alerting us of the
need for additional primary care providers for low income and indigent children in New Hanover County. Currently in New
Hanover County there are 14,167 children on Medicaid, 2,168 on NC Health Choice and approximately 4,234 with no
insurance coverage. This represents a combined total of 20,569 children in this target population and the number is
growing.
Currently, there are no pediatricians in New Hanover County who are accepting Medicaid clients, without restrictions. We
received a request for proposals from the Office of Research, Demonstrations and Rural Health to apply for funding to
create new, or expand existing services provided to these uninsured and medically indigent patients including medical
services. This would also address access to care, the number one priority in our strategic plan.
Grant funding of $50,000 would enhance our ability to establish a much needed pediatric primary care clinic for the
community. Financial projections based on the documented need, current reimbursement rates and similar programs in
neighboring health departments would yield approximately $190,950 in Medicaid revenues, $36,900 in health fees and
$23,600 from Health Choice revenues during the course of a year. Thus, total projected revenue is $301,450. This
program would include three new positions, an LPN, a Community Health Assistant and an Administrative Support
Assistant. The cost of salary/fringes for all three positions would be $127,170. Operating expenses are projected to be
$109,280 for a combined total expenses of $236,450.
We anticipate approval by the Board of Health on November 2, 2005.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
To accept and approve the request to submit an application to the Office of Research, Demonstrations and Rural Health for
$50,000 to establish a pediatric primary care clinic for low income and indigent children, hire necessary staff, and approve
any associated budget amendment if funding is awarded.

Contact: Dave Weaver
SUBJECT:
Presentation by Resident of Arnold Road Concerned with Drainage
BRIEF SUMMARY:
Ms. Shari Mongold, 714 Arnold Road, requested the opportunity to present drainage concerns of herself and other residents
of Arnold Road. She appeared as a non-agenda item at the Board's October 17 meeting. She and her neighbor have also
been served by the County with a Notice of Violation to correct a clogged or broken drainage pipe between their lots that
has caused flooding on Arnold Road. This violation is due to section 23-342 (attachment 1) of the County drainage
ordinance that requires property owners to maintain drainageways on their property. This section has been used for past
drainage maintenance projects. The two residents appealed the Notice of Violation and the hearing was continued to
December 1 to allow them time to work out an alternate funding approach.
Attached is her note requesting to be on the agenda and a package prepared by her of NCDOT guidelines and regulations
(attachment 2). It appears that the purpose of the package is to demonstrate her belief that NCDOT should repair the
clogged/broken pipe and/or the County Board can petition NCDOT to perform the work. It should be noted that NCDOT, to
date, has not chosen to participate despite numerous contacts.
Ms. Mongold may also request the Board, with the support of Arnold Road residents, to develop an assessment of all the
Arnold Road residents who would benefit from correction of the drainage problem. This request would be based on
sections 23-401 to 23-405 of the County ordinance (attachment 1). This section has not been used by the County in the
past due to such reasons as the complexity of the engineering studies to determine benefitting property owners. In
addition, this section is meant for regional projects which generally would infer a larger area than this section of Arnold
Road.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Staff recommends that the Board hear the presentation.

COUNTY MANAGER'S COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
Hear presentation. It is important to note that if the Board takes no action and if Ms. Mongold can find no other means to
correct the problem, then staff will complete the hearing December 1 and likely require that the work be completed at her
and her neighbor's expense, as has traditionally been done in other cases.

SUBJECT:
Porters Neck Center Water Line Extension - Request for District Participation
BRIEF SUMMARY:
The developer of Porters Neck Center is extending the District's water system to supply water to a private water system
serving this commercial tract. The developer only needs an 8-inch waterline, but he is extending a 10-inch waterline for the
convenience of the District.
The developer obtained multiple bids for 8-inch and 10-inch waterlines in the public and private portions of the system. The
low bid was East Coast Contracting and the difference in cost to upsize the line to 10-inch diameter on the District's portion
of the waterline extension is $1,600.
RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS:
Staff recommends that the Commissioners agree to County participation and authorize the expenditure of $1600.00
