BACKGROUND:
This interlocal contract provide voluntary contributions to support Inpatient, Outpatient, and Graduate Medical Education (GME) hospital services. The voluntary payment of these funds will be used by the DHCFP as the non-federal share of general Medicaid expenditures.

On April 6, 2021, the Board of County Commissioners authorized the interlocal contract from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023. The term of the amendment is as follows:
1) Extend the term of the contract through June 30, 2025;
2) Increase the FY23 voluntary contribution in the amount of $3,500,000; and
3) Increase the County's share of the Federal Match Assistance Percentage (FMAP) claiming credit
to 87.5% beginning July 1, 2023.
