Public Health Consent Agenda
JEFFERSON COUNTY
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
TO: Board of County Commissioners
Philip Morley, County Administrator
FROM: Vicki Kirkpatrick, Director
DATE: November 20, 2020
SUBJECT: Approval of Amendment No. 2 of Interlocal Agreement with Public
Hospital District No. 2 (Jefferson Healthcare) regarding continued support
for the School -Based Health Centers in the Port Townsend, Chimacum,
and Quilcene School Districts
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Since the inception of the School -Based Health Centers it has been a
partnership between Jefferson Healthcare and Jefferson County. Jefferson County Public Health
staffs and manages the school -based health centers (including providing funding and insurance
billing). Jefferson Healthcare provides additional financial support for the clinics without which we
would be unable to sustain the school -based clinics.
The Interlocal Agreement Amendment No. 2 does two things:
1. It extends the Interlocal Agreement to August 31, 2021, and
2. It increases the current contribution from Public Hospital District #2 by $951.00 or 1.5% (from
$63,369 for the 2019-2020 school year to $64,320 for the 2020-2021 school year).
ANALYSIS/STRATEGIC GOALS/PRO'S and CONS: The partnership between Jefferson
Healthcare and Jefferson County has been a strong one, including the financial support of the school -
based health centers (now in three Jefferson County school districts) for more than 10 years. This
support has enabled Jefferson County Public Health to maintain these important services which have
been recognized by the Secretary of the Washington State Department of Health and embraced by
the school districts we serve.
