JOSEPHINE COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH FUND DESCRIPTION (PHF, page 264/764)
 
The Public Health Fund was formed effective July 1, 2007. It includes the Public Health Division which had previously been in the Health and Human Services Fund, which has been discontinued. The Public Health Division serves the public with health related resources and environmental health and communicable disease prevention programs. Public Health also operates the Animal Protection program.
 
The largest source of revenue for this fund is grants from the state. Some of the programs charge fees for services provided but are prohibited by regulation from setting fees at a rate higher than what it costs to provide the service. This Fund has received support from the County’s General Fund previously and is requesting monies for Clinic, Animal Protection and Solid Waste enforcement this fiscal year.
 
The adopted budget is in balance, which means that the budgeted requirements (expenditures and ending fund balance) are equal to the resources (beginning fund balance and revenues) that are estimated to be available during the budget year. Bear in mind that the state mandates the provision of services on a sliding fee scale and regardless of a client’s ability to pay, which makes revenue estimates challenging.
 
A summary of the Public Health Fund (Resources and Requirements) is presented first in the Josephine County, Oregon Adopted Budget FY 2015-16, followed by Schedule A, which summarizes the various programs in the fund. The money available for operating the programs is estimated to be equal to total resources of the fund, less the requirement for Internal Service Fund charges.
 
Schedule A is supported by a Program Worksheet (Schedule B) for each program. Schedule B provides information about the purpose of the program, how much revenue it is expected to generate during the budget year, and a breakdown of its expenditure budget by the categories
specified in Oregon Local Budget Law.
 
Schedules C, D, and E provide details of resources, personal services and other expenditures, respectively.
