Utah Admin. Code R380-50-3 - Allocation Procedures
(1) The amount of
funds the department allocates to the local health departments shall be
determined by the Governance Committee as described in Section
26B-1-207.
(2) By a three-fourths vote of its members,
the Utah Association of Local Health Officers may, in cooperation with and
subject to the approval of the department, allocate a portion of the funds as
necessary to support public health programs within every participating local
health department and are available to all eligible residents of the state. The
department finds that population is not the sole relevant factor in determining
need.
(3) The department adopts the
following formula pursuant to Section
26A-1-116 for reallocating to
local health departments any increases or decreases in funds as follows:
(a) a minimum share, which is 32% of the
funds divided into equal shares for each participating local health
department;
(b) fifty percent of
the funds are divided among the local health departments based on the
percentage of the total state population living within the geographical
boundaries of the local health department according to the most current
estimate from the Governor's Office of Planning and Budget. At a minimum, this
factor will be evaluated after the official Census of the Population is
released and four years after the official census is released; and
(c) eighteen percent of the funds are divided
among multi-county health departments using a multi-county factor made up of
two equal parts, as follows:
(i) half of the
multi-county dollar amount, is divided by the total number of counties that
make up all the multi-county health departments, the number is multiplied by
the number of counties in each multi-county health department; and
(ii) each multi-county health department's
population, based upon population figures provided by the Governor's Office of
Planning and Budget, is divided by the total population of all the counties
that make up all the multi-county health departments, the number is multiplied
by half of the multi-county dollar amount.
(4) The department may, after consulting with
the Governance Committee, alter the formula to address documented need
established by valid and accepted data in one or more local health department
jurisdictions. At no time can a local health department receive more than ten
times the per capita amount calculated under this formula than any other local
health department.
(5) The
Governance Committee may include future funds in the funding formula in cases
where the total program funding exceeds $500,000.
