    6. Reports

    6.1 City Council & GCHD Budget Discussion

    It has been very difficult at city council meetings to make them understand the importance of the STI/HIV grants. GCHD could not operate without the help from the grants contributing to 33% of the office costs, and then some with the 340B/Q Care monies that make the entire department operate better.  Some council members believe that the entire department can operate from these funds (not needing any city funding) and it is not true, nor is the 340B funding intended to supply the operational budget of a local health department.

    They are now questioning why we need $300,000 as the city's contribution.  The fact of the matter is, GCHD would not be able to operate the state mandated programs that makeup a local health department in Ohio if they only give us $300,000 without the grant contributions.  At first members of council were happy that we were asking for the same funding as last year, and now they are still giving the department grief over that amount.  Our finances increase just as other city department's finances increase, but we are likely the only department asking for the same amount in 2026 as in 2025.
