Pima County Health Department Supplemental/DREAM Request: Reducing the Burden of Chronic Disease and Maintaining Access to Care Discussion/Direction/Action: Adding the Health Department’s DREAM Request for FY27 of $186,000.00 for the Office of Non-Communicable Diseases, including funding for currently grant-funded Community Health Workers (CHW) for whom grant funds are set to expire in the coming months, to the FY27 Tentatively Adopted County Budget, and directing the County Administrator to re-appropriate the funds necessary from whichever other area of the budget makes most sense in order to fund this Health Dept. priority while maintaining the FY27 property tax rate at the Administrator’s Recommended Budget level. Additionally, directing the County Administrator to ensure that in the development of the FY28 and FY29 Recommended Budgets, our CHW workforce is maintained at current staffing levels or grown in size and not allowed to shrink, regardless of any potential Federal grant changes, expirations or the like.
