I am requesting, preferably in electronic format, the dollar amount of each of the 7 areas listed that were funded out of the health fund (9715) for each fiscal year from FY2013 to FY2018.
Responsive to this request, please note the health fund did not directly fund these programs. Rather the slide referenced included items that as they increased, the health fund was not properly funded. As found in HCPSS operating budget documents: http://www.hcpss.org/about-us/budgets/budget-archive/, the following were funded from the General Fund or other Funds as listed:
1. Salary increases – Salary increases affected all General Fund, Health Fund, Tech Fund, Food Services, Print Shop and Worker’s Comp fund where there were salaries.
