Summary & Background (First sentence includes Agency recommendation. Provide an executive summary of the action that gives an overview of the relevant details for the item.)
Scope of Work: House Bill 885 (Laws 201, Act 467, § 1, effective April 27, 2016) repealed O.C.G.A. § 31-3-2.1, which allowed Fulton County to operate its public health services through its internal Department of Health and Wellness. Adoption of House Bill 885 transferred responsibility for the daily operations of the County’s eight (8) Public Health Services Facilities from the County to that of a separate entity known as the Fulton County Board of Health. Approval of agenda items 17-0298 and 17-0299 by the Fulton County Board of Commissioners on April 12, 2017 dissolved the Fulton County Department of Health and Wellness and created the Fulton County Board of Health as a separate entity. On January 20, 2021, via agenda item 20-0622, the Fulton County Board of Commissioners, approved the First Amendment to the Intergovernmental Agreement for the Provision Services between the County and the Fulton County Board of Health. The Intergovernmental Agreement provided that the County would comply with all legal obligations under applicable law in relation to the Fulton County Board of Health, to include providing quarters and equipment as set out in O.C.G.A. § 31-3-9 and information technology services for a limited period of time. The Fulton County Board of Health and the Information Technology Department (“IT”) have agreed to a scope of work to provide information technology services to the Fulton County Board of Health, at a cost. Additional requests for extension have been included in the overall package and other services may be addressed by other departments.
Community Impact: Fulton County residents will have continuous access to the same health services within their community which is consistent with the County’s initiative that all people trust government is efficient, effective and fiscally sound.
Department Recommendation: FCIT recommends approval of the amendment between the County and the Fulton County Board of Health for the purpose of providing IT services.
Project Implications: Approval of amendment to the Intergovernmental Agreement between the County and the Fulton County Board of Health.
