body

Statement of Issue:
As stated on the DHCS website, the PP-GEMT IGT Program is anticipated to be implemented on January 1, 2023, contingent on federal approval.

With the New PP-GEMT IGT Program, it is expected that the City of Huntington Beach will receive an estimated $770,000 in new annual revenue above the previous GEMT Programs. This estimated $770,000 in new annual revenue amount is calculated after accounting for the $1,734,000 in expected annual invoices to cover the City's anticipated non-federal share. It is anticipated that half of the annual $1,734,000, which would be $867,000, is expected to cover the City's anticipated non-federal share for the remainder of FY 2022/23.

Staff requests to approve an appropriation of $867,000 for the PP-GEMT IGT Program to pay DHCS invoices in an expected amount of up to $867,000 to cover the City's non-federal share described below for the remainder of FY 2022/23. Future costs of the PP-GEMT IGT Program will be incorporated in future years' budgets.

Financial Impact:
A new appropriation of $867,000 is requested for the PP-GEMT IGT Program for the remainder of FY 2022/23. Future costs of the PP-GEMT IGT Program will be incorporated in future years' budgets. Program revenues are anticipated to fully cover the requested appropriation with a net annual revenue of $770,000.
