2001 - Saginaw County

Board of Commissioners June 26, 2001
several factors: the price of the vaccine has risen from $25.00 to
$50.00 for a ten-dose vial; and, the "Safe Needle Act" has
increased the cost of syringes from $.09 to as high as $.45. Fees
for the flu shots have been in effect since June 1995; the new
schedule will allow the Health Department to remain consistent
with other provider fees in Saginaw County.
It is our recommendation that the Health Department be authorized
to establish a $15.00 fee for influenza vaccines; further, that
the proper County officials be directed to implement same.

FROM: COMMITTEE ON HUMAN SERVICES -- 1.2 June 26, 2001
Your committee has considered communication no. 6-26-23 from John
Niederhauser, Health Officer, Saginaw County Department of Public
Health asking to establish a new fee for testing E. coli in nonpotable
water.
The Health Department will utilize a new method which allows the
technologist to process a greater number of samples in the same
amount of time. The cost analysis for the supplies and staff time
is $9.82 per sample. The Michigan Department of Community Health
and Kent County have a $10.00 fee for the same method.
It is our recommendation that the Health Department be authorized
to establish a fee of $10.00 for the laboratory test titled "E.
coli in non-potable water;" further, that the proper County
officials be directed to implement same.
