Abstract
Action Requested: Vote on a request to approve $656.94 from the Aetna Foundation to cover costs of the Healthiest Cities and Counties Challenge Site Visit.
Introduction & Background: Chatham County has been a participant in the Healthiest Cities and Counties (HCC) Challenge for approximately two years, and is now one of five finalists competing for a $250,000 prize. As a finalist, a team of site visitors came to Chatham in October 2018. Costs related to the site visit (dinner, breakfast and lunch) will be reimbursed by the HCC Challenge (fiscally led by the Aetna Foundation) and total $656.94.
Discussion & Analysis: Funds are reimbursement for site visit expenditures. No matching funds are required from County.
How does this relate to the Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan, specifically its health element, was the primary component of Chatham’s HCC Challenge submission.
Budgetary Impact: No local funding requested.
Recommendation: Vote on a request to approve $656.94 from the Aetna Foundation to cover costs of the Healthiest Cities and Counties Challenge Site Visit.
