SUMMARY:
On September 26, 2019, representatives from Baptist Hospital, Sacred Heart Hospital, and Select Specialty Hospital requested that the City consider the imposition of a special assessment on their real property located in the City to increase funding available to reimburse the hospitals for uncompensated charitable health care. The hospitals requested that the special assessment be based on inpatient revenues, which will affect properties owned by Baptist Hospital, Sacred Heart Hospital, and Select Specialty Hospital. In order to levy the requested special assessment for FY2020, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 29-19 and Resolution No. 2019-52.
At the same meeting, City council adopted Supplemental Budget Resolution No. 2019-53 appropriating funding for FY 2020 indigent health care special assessment which was posted in September 2019 (FY 2019). However, funding was not carried forward into FY 2020. Appropriations now will provide funding for the approved FY 2020 indigent health care special assessment.
PRIOR ACTION:
April 25, 2019 - City Council adopted Ordinance No. 10-19 and Resolution No. 2019-24, which imposed a special assessment on outpatient revenue on properties owned by Baptist Health Care and Sacred Heart Hospital.
September 26, 2019 - City Council adopted Ordinance No. 29-19, which repealed and replaced Ordinance No. 10-19, adopted Resolution No. 2019-52 and adopted Supplemental Budget Resolution No. 2019-53 imposing a special assessment on inpatient revenue on properties owned by Baptist Health Care, Sacred Heart Hospital and Select Specialty Hospital and appropriating funding thereof.
FUNDING:
N/A
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no direct financial impact to the City. Combined assessments will total approximately $10.6 million. Adoption of the supplemental budget resolution will appropriate the assessment funds.
