Title
Amend Ordinance S-45435 Regarding the Pediatric Health Care Initiative Fund (Ordinance S-49792)
Description
Request to amend Ordinance S-45435 to replace Attachment A of the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System Administration (AHCCCS).
Report
Summary
Ordinance S-41038 established the Pediatric Health Care Initiative Fund to facilitate the transfer of donations for specialized pediatric care provided by freestanding children's hospitals with 100 beds or more located in the City of Phoenix, to AHCCCS through an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA). The original IGA included an attachment (Attachment A) that details the transfer of donations through two annual installments of $2,500,000. The preference of the City and AHCCCS is to conduct the transfer of donations through a single annual payment of $5,000,000 instead of installments. This amendment would revise the current IGA attachment to allow for the transfer of donations through a single annual payment.
Financial Impact
There is no financial impact to the City.
