BACKGROUND The purpose of this report is to present to the Board the second quarter operating results for Public Health Programs. Ottawa Public Health (OPH) management actively reviews their quarterly results to ensure that their respective spending and revenue results are not indicative of any underlying issues needing to be highlighted or addressed. The 2014 operating budget second quarter results present actual year-to-date revenues and expenditures against the amounts budgeted for the corresponding period. DISCUSSION Document 1 provides operating budget details on second quarter results for the various Ontario Public Health Standards. Financial information is presented by funding type, which includes cost-shared (75% province and 25% city); city funded (100% municipal); and provincial or federal funded (100% provincial or federal) along with a breakdown by specific program. Document 2 provides compensation information showing the actual salary, benefits and overtime costs incurred by OPH during the corresponding period. Q2 Operating Results Based on the results to June 30, 2014, OPH is projecting a balanced financial position for the current fiscal year. Table 1 outlines the annual expenditures and revenues by funding source, the year-to-date budget status and the forecast for 2014 year end.

The current financial information shows OPH has spent 51% of its total compensation budget during the first half of 2014 operations. Provincial Funding Update Funding for cost-shared programs was reflected in the 2014 budget with a projected 2.0% increase from the province. OPH is awaiting confirmation of the 2014 funding from the province. Approval is anticipated in mid to late September. As part of the annual provincial funding application, OPH submitted one-time funding requests totalling $1,475K. The one-time initiatives included: Healthy Smiles Clinic for Wabano ($366K), Integrating New Models of Post-Partum Care ($250K), Seniors Care Collaboration Initiative ($160K), Xpress Sexually Transmitted Infection Testing ($100K), Quality Improvement Plan for Infection Prevention and Control at Personal Service Settings ($100K), Engaging Peers in SITE Program Delivery ($60K), Noise Attenuation for Vaccine Distribution Centre ($60K), Immunize Ottawa Initiative ($60K), Language and Literacy Promotion ($53K), Vector-Borne Disease Prevention ($50K), Mobile Market ($50K), Experience of Breastfeeding Support ($50K), Low Risk Drinking Guidelines Promotion ($35K), Nicotine Replacement Therapy for Smoking Cessation Project ($30K), Private Well Water Testing Community Outreach and Health Promotion ($26K), Aboriginal Cultural Competence for Clinical Services ($25K). Ministry approval is pending. As noted in the 2014 Operating Budget Q1 Status Report, OPH will also be submitting a one-time funding request for reimbursement of unplanned expenditures resulting from the measles outbreak earlier this year. Operating Budget Adjustments and Transfers A summary of the budget adjustments and transfers made, either through the delegated authority given to the Medical Officer of Health or through Board and Council approved reports, is included in the quarterly operating status reports.
Table 2 identifies the only budget adjustment made during Q2 of 2014. The City reviews Insurance Claims activity on an annual basis. OPH has been claims free for the past three years therefore the budget for Insurance Claims is being eliminated. Table 2 Summary of Q2 Operating Budget Adjustments Increase / Increase / (Decrease) (Decrease) Description Expenditures Revenue Increase / (Decrease) Net Budget Insurance Claims Adjustment -8 0-8 Total -8 0-8 2015 Budget Planning Process With 2014 being a municipal election year, a Council report that outlines direction on taxation targets or funding envelopes by departments is expected to be considered by the new 2015-18 Council in December. Based on the last election, it is anticipated that the draft 2015 OPH budget will be tabled in January. OPH has begun to identify operational pressures for 2015 that are service critical, which will help inform the Board of Health s 2015 budget. OPH has a number of budget pressures to be considered for example personal service settings, food safety, mental health promotion, and annual compensation provision pressures. The full impact of compensation related changes is not yet known but will be incorporated into future budgets. RURAL IMPLICATIONS There are no rural implications to this information report.
