Title

Substitute resolution relating to an agreement between the City of Milwaukee Health Department and the Gerald L. Ignace Indian Health Center for the provision of culturally-competent dental services.

Analysis

This resolution directs the Health Department to:

1.                     Execute an agreement between the City of Milwaukee and the Gerald L. Ignace Health Center for the assignment of a Public Health Service officer.

2.                     Submit to the Bemidji Area Office of the Indian Health Service a request for the detail of a Public Health Service-commissioned officer.

3.                     Execute a standard memorandum of agreement with the Bemidji Area Office of the Indian Health Service for the detail of the commissioned officer to the City of Milwaukee for ultimate assignment to the Gerald L. Ignace Indian Health Center for culturally-competent dental services. 

Whereas, Pursuant to 42 USC 215, federal law authorizes the United States Public Health Service to detail a commissioned officer to a political subdivision of a state, including the City, upon request of the political subdivision; and

Whereas, The Bemidji Area Office of the Indian Health Service is a division of the United States Department of Health and Human Services and provides service and support to 34 federally-recognized Tribes and four Urban Indian Health programs located in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin, relying in part on the use of Public Health Service commissioned officers; and

Whereas, The Gerald L. Ignace Indian Health Center is located in the 12^th Aldermanic District of the City of Milwaukee and provides medical, wellness, and social services to people of all tribes, races, and ethnicities, with an aim to serve the American Indian community’s needs through a medical clinic at the All Nations Wellness Center; and

Whereas, The Gerald L. Ignace Indian Health Center desires to place a Public Health Service commissioned officer from the Bemidji Area Office at its facility to offer culturally competent dental services; and 

Whereas, The Gerald L. Ignace Indian Health Center has requested that the Health Department submit to the Bemidji Area Office a request for the detail of a Public Health Service commissioned officer and the assignment of the commissioned dental officer to the Gerald L. Ignace Indian Health Center; and

Whereas, Under the agreement between the City of Milwaukee, through its Health Department, and the Gerald L. Ignace Indian Health Center, the Gerald L. Ignace Indian Health Center will reimburse the City for all expenses incurred to detail the commissioned officer to the City and assign the officer to the Gerald L. Ignace Indian Health Center; and

Whereas, The reimbursement of City funds will be managed according to the terms of Common Council File No. 180348; now, therefore be it

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Health Department is directed to execute an agreement between the City of Milwaukee and the Gerald L. Ignace Indian Health Center for the assignment of a Public Health Service officer, in substantially the same form as the agreement attached to this file as amended by the City Attorney to maintain consistency with the standard memorandum of agreement with the Bemidji Area Office; and be it

Further Resolved, That the Health Department is directed to submit to the Bemidji Area Office of the Indian Health Service a request for the detail of a Public Health Service commissioned officer, consistent with the agreement between the City and the Gerald L. Ignace Indian Health Center; and be it

Further Resolved, That the Health Department, in consultation with the City Attorney, is directed to execute a standard memorandum of agreement with the Bemidji Area Office of the Indian Health Service for the detail of the commissioned officer to the City of Milwaukee for ultimate assignment to the Gerald L. Ignace Indian Health Center for provision of culturally-competent dental services.
