Payment and Funding. Pursuant to X.X. x. 40, §4A, any funds received by the Shared Services Program, Governance Board, or the BCDHE pursuant to this Agreement, shall be deposited with the treasurer of the BCDHE and held as a separate grant account and may be expended, with the approval of the Governance Board, under the provisions of X.X. x. 34, §23 and X.X. x. 44, §53A, for contribution toward the cost of the Shared Services Program and in compliance with established grant guidelines from grantors only. The Governance Board may authorize a disbursement of funds for any shared contractor, salary or wages consistent with the terms of this Agreement, and/or for any program, service or benefit that is consistent with the terms of this Agreement. Except for the 10% of Grant Program funding for administrative costs that the BCDHE may retain pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement, a Municipality may draw on grant funds individually, with prior approval by the Governance Board, and provided such funds are available, by submitting invoices to the Shared Services Coordinator for reimbursement from the funds, for expenditure consistent with the purposes of the Shared Services Program and applicable grant funding guidelines. The BCDHE, as the holder of Grant Program funds, will pay the invoice within 30 days, subject to the availability of funds; provided, however, that the BCDHE shall not be obligated to supply any funding or incur any cost in excess of the amounts made available to the Governance Board and the Shared Services Program through the Grant Program and/or any other and gifts, grants, or other sources appropriated for the purposes of this Agreement. Individual municipal costs incurred outside the scope of this Agreement and specific to the needs of that Municipality will be borne solely by that Municipality. Any funds contributed by the Grant Program shall only be used for shared public health services consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. Annually, the Governance Board will develop and approve a public health services budget for contractual shared services. Initially, these services are funded by a 3-year Public Health Excellence Grant from the Department of Public Health administered by Barnstable County. It is the intention of Barnstable County to seek additional grant funds to sustain these services but if that is unsuccessful, participating Municipalities will revisit this Agreement and determine whether they will allocate municipal funds to continue participation. The Shared Services Coordinator will provide each Municipality with sufficient notice to allow that Municipality’s funding authority to authorize any such expenditure. Until grant funds are expended, there will be no cost to participating municipalities. Execution of this Agreement does not obligate any other participating Municipality to fund the Grant Program and a mutually acceptable written contract amendment would be required to do so. Pursuant to X.X. x. 40, §4A, any party may, but shall not be required to, raise money by any lawful means to further the purposes of the Shared Services Program and any such funds shall be held by Barnstable County and expended pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
