Colleen Ernst, Executive Vice President with Adelanto Healthcare Ventures, LLC, explained that there are very few reimbursement programs in Florida that assist hospitals serving the economically disadvantaged population. She said the set amount allowable by the state of Florida is $.60 on the dollar for Medicaid reimbursement and only 1% for charity care for most providers. However, she continued, there are additional programs available from the federal government. Ms. Ernst explained that in 2021, the state of Florida implemented a way to bring the federal dollars back to Florida without adding a new tax burden onto individual citizens or non-hospital businesses. She said the program was designed to include special assessments levied by local governments imposed on non-public hospitals only. By collecting dollars through a special assessment, she continued, this will unlock funding that is matched by the federal government at $.80 cents on the dollar instead of $.60 through the state of Florida. She concluded that this special assessment would offset costs to the hospitals serving the economically disadvantaged population. Ms. Ernst explained that the hospital will tax itself, send the funds to the City who will act as a passthrough, and then send to the state for qualification. Mr. Perry announced that he and Scott Rudacille, City Attorney, had multiple meetings to make sure that the technical aspects of the ordinance protects the City as well as other types of liability and considerations.

Proclamation By virtue of the authority vested in me as Mayor of the City of Bradenton, I do hereby issue this proclamation honoring Code Enforcement Officers’ Appreciation Week June 3-7, 2024 Whereas, code enforcement officers provide for the safety, health and welfare of the citizens in this community through the enforcement of building, zoning, housing, animal control, fire safety, environmental and other codes and ordinances; and Whereas, code enforcement officers are often not credited for the jobs that they do in saving lives and improving neighborhoods. Every day, assisted by support and program staff, they attempt to provide quality customer service to the public for the betterment of the community; and Whereas, too many times their efforts go unnoticed, even after code compliance has been accomplished due to their efforts and expertise; and Whereas, code enforcement officers are dedicated, well trained, and highly responsible individuals who take their jobs seriously and are proud of their department and the local government within which they serve. Now, Therefore Be It Resolved that, I, Gene Brown, as Mayor of the City of Bradenton, Florida, do hereby proclaim the week of June 3-7, 2024, as Code Enforcement Officers’ Appreciation Week and urge all citizens to express appreciation for the dedication and outstanding service provided by the code enforcement officers.
