2014 Budget Highlights for Environmental Health

Key Expansion Proposal(s) for Animal Care & Control
Title: Strategic Resource Alignment at the Denver Animal Shelter - 4.0 FTE Description: This item reflects an increase in personnel, services and supplies due to the extension of shelter
operating hours and a needs assessment identifying the shelter as undersupplied and understaffed.

Financial Impact: $375,100 Title: Denver Strays Project - 3.0 FTE Description: Through this project Denver will become the central location for Denvers strays in partnership with
Dumb Friends League to improve Denver and community LRR, maximize resources, decrease costs, benefit the community.

Financial Impact: ($13,938) = $212,610 (revenue, avoided costs) - $ 198,672 expenses (FTE, equip) Performance Metrics:

2014 Budget Highlights for Environmental Health

Key Expansion Proposal(s) for the Office of the Medical Examiner
Title: Allocation of Funds for Contract Pathology Work Description: These funds will allow OME to meet NAME accreditation optimal workload requirements, and either
have received or have come dangerously close to receiving violations for one or more physicians exceeding that 250 case benchmark.

Financial Impact: $41,000 Title: Increase in Services and Supplies Description: OME has numerous contracts with suppliers of specialized equipment coming up for bid in 2013. Price
increases are expected. Increasing the funding for services and supplies will allow OME to maintain operations at current levels.

2014 Budget Highlights for Environmental Health

Key Expansion Proposal(s) for Public Health Inspection
Title: Marijuana Infused Product Inspector 2.0 FTE Description: When medical marijuana legislation was first passed, PHI had to postpone other types of inspections
so that we could keep up with the license approvals for MMJ facilities. With these positions we will begin to conduct regular inspections even after the initial license approval. The Food and Drug Administration encourages no more than an average workload figure of 150 food service establishments per FTE with two inspections per year.

Financial Impact: $30,000 Title: Mobile Unit Enforcement 2.0 FTE Description: This will allow us to conduct periodic inspections of mobile unites rather than only when there is a
complaint or media interest in joining us on an inspection of mobiles. The closure rate for mobiles and carts is approximately 15%. One inspector could inspect 4 units per day. This equates to approximately 960 units per year. We estimate a revenue offset to this proposal.

Financial Impact: ($14,000)
