Two cities and two counties in Minnesota, Saint Paul, Minneapolis, Winona, and St. Louis counties, wrote grants to tap into these funds and ultimately became instrumental in bringing the block grants to the whole state eight years ago. Today, the state receives Maternal Child Health program dollars from the federal government, contributes additional state funds, and distributes the money to local boards of health according to a formula. Recognizing the important contribution of the original cities, the state exempts the Twin Cities from the formula, passing a portion through to them which is more than the state formula would allocate. The two original counties receiving federal funding now receive the same or increased funding under the state formula. Issue Some legislators have complained that everyone should receive funds according to the formula; to do otherwise would be unfair. If they get their way, Saint Paul will have its share cut from $1. 6 to $1. 1 million per biennium (approximately $500, 000) . Despite these complaints, there are important reasons to conclude that Saint Paul is receiving its fair share and should continue to do so. Federal requirements stipulate that a certain percentage of the dollars it gives be used for primary health care and that at least 25% of its funding goes to in-kind services. Through such programs as lead prevention, immunization and dental care, Saint Paul contributes disproportionally to helping the state meet both of these requirements in qualifying for the grants. And a loss to the City of $600, 000 per biennium could mean eliminating care for high-risk pregnant women or closing three high school based clinics--the types of programs the federal government originally intended to assist. Recommendation The City supports the preservation of its status as an entitlement city for Maternal Child Health state funds. - �,.�,7� � - ,/ � T A B L E O F C O N T E N T S � Initiate PAGE CSSP tApprvd by Committee, 9/13/91j . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 Property Tax Relief: Local Government Aid {Apprvd by Committee, 10/18/91} . . 5 Constitutional Dedication of Sales Tax {Apprvd by Committee, 10/18/91) . . 7 Fiscal Disparities {Apprvd by Committee, 10/18/91} . . . . . 8 Polluted Lands {Approved by Council, 9/19/91} . . . . . . . 10 MELSA Funding {Apprvd by Committee, 10/18/91} . . . . . . . 13 Housing Issues {Apprvd by Committee, 11/22/91? . . . . . . . 17 HRA Expansion of Powers {Apprvd by Committee, 10/18/91) . . 24 Substantial Support Metropolitan Parks/Como Park Dept Service {Apprvd by Committee, 10/18/91} . . 27 � URAP tApprvd by Committee, 10/18/91} . . . . . . . . . . . . 32 � Public Safety Issues {Apprvd by Committee, 11/22/91} . . . . 34 Maternal Child Health {Apprvd by Committee, 10/18/91} . . . 39 Parking Tag Income {Apprvd by Committee, 10/18/91} . . . . . 41 Housing Court {Apprvd by Committee, 10/18/91� . . . . . . . 43 Photo Cop {No recommendation, lack of quorum, 11/8/91} . . . 45 Metropolitan Transportation Trust Fund {No recommendation, lack of quorum, 11/8/91} . 47 Immunization Transferability/Medical Records {Apprvd by Committee, 10/18/91} . . 49 Metropolitan State University {No recommendation, lack of quorum, 11/8/91} . 51 Presidential Primary Funding {No recommendation, lack of quorum, 11/8/91} . 53 Cultural Tourism/Historical Preservation District ' {No recommendation, lack of quorum, 11/8/91� . 55 Monitor .
