Recommendation: That the Board review and consider the lien relief request made by Lon Andrew Enkey, new owner of the property, against 922 Rentz Avenue.

On August 21, 2014, the Board amended the "Guidelines for Relief from Environmental (Code) Enforcement Special Magistrate Liens" policy, Section III, H2. Staff was instructed to review all requests for forgiveness of Environmental (Code) Enforcement Liens to determine if the request met the criteria for forgiveness and allowing the County Administrator to act on the Board's behalf if set criteria are met.

After reviewing the request for forgiveness of liens, staff made the determination that the request does not fall within the criteria that would allow the County Administrator to act on the Board's behalf and grant relief, in accordance with the Board's Policy, Guidelines for Relief from Environmental (Code) Enforcement Special Magistrate Liens' Policy, Section III, H2.

Owner Lon Andrew Enkey is willing to pay the original lien amount if the Board will release the interest amount that has accrued over the years on the original lien amount.

8. 18573   Recommendation Concerning a Change Order to Purchase Order 200784 to Florida Blue - Jana Still, Human Resources Department Director

That the Board approve and authorize the County Administrator to execute the following Change Order, in excess of $25,000, adding funds to pay the health claims through the end of the fiscal year:
Department: Human Resources
Division Benefits
Type Addition
Amount $3,100,000
Vendor Florida Blue
Purchase Order 200784
Change Order 1
Original Award Amount $22,700,000
Cumulative Amount of Change Orders Through This Change Order:
$3,100,000
New Purchase Order Total $25,800,000

Funding Source: Fund 501, Internal Service Fund, Cost Center 150108, Object Code 53401
An increase to the purchase order of $3.1 million is needed to fund remaining anticipated insurance expenses for the fiscal year. There is a budget balance of $700,000 remaining in the account leaving a budget shortfall of $2.4 million which has been requested on the subsequent SBA agenda item.

The County has incurred unprecedented claims costs for the year 2020. In addition to the unanticipated COVID related costs, for March through June there were eighteen claimants that accounted for $1,1839,206 in claims which is 22.1% of the total claims cost. A number of these claims are acute one-time claimants and several of them have predictive costs. There has been a significant increase in drug utilization since last year, with Cancer and Diabetes being the primary conditions driving the pharmacy costs. During the first four months of the fiscal year, the number of specialty drug claims increased 42%, from 81 claims to 115 claims. As a result, specialty drug costs increased 66% from $441,000 to $735,000. Additionally, the claims for the month of July were high due to the resumption of elective surgeries. The amount requested for this change order is to cover the 2020 projected costs.

15. 18446   Recommendation Concerning the Issuance of a Fiscal Year 2020-2021 Purchase Order, in Excess of $25,000, for the Extension Services Department - Nick Simmons, Extension Services Department Director

That the Board, for the Fiscal Year 2020-2021, approve the issuance of an individual Purchase Order, in excess of $25,000, for the Extension Services Department to fund a contract part-time Program Assistant for 12 months. The Escambia County 4-H Foundation, Inc., provides the funding for this position and no County funds will be expended.

16. 18429   Recommendation Concerning the Uncollectible Bad-Debt Write-Off of Accounts Receivable Recorded in the Emergency Medical Service Fund as Uncollectible Bad Debts - Jason Rogers, Public Safety Department Director

That the Board adopt the Resolution authorizing the write-off of $9,128,254.86 in Accounts Receivable that have been recorded in the Emergency Medical Service Fund of Escambia County and have been determined to be uncollectible bad debts for patient claims dating September 22, 2011 - July, 1, 2020. Of the 17,854 claims, 4,700 are from patients with multiple dates of service.

This Resolution allows an accounting transaction to be recorded and in no way should be construed to be a forgiveness of debt. This Resolution includes write-offs from Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Ambulance Billings for 17,854 claims that have been through all phases of the billing and collection cycles, to include all primary and secondary insurance filing, and private pay processing pre-collection letter(s).
Payer Number of Claims Total Write -Off Amount Description
Medically Needy 1,772 1,107,269.29 Recipients who must pay out of pocket a certain dollar amount before
qualifying for Medicaid Insurance
Medicaid QI1/ SLMB 493 82,210.79 Has income that does not exceed 100% of the federal poverty level
and do not qualify for any additional benefits therefore resulting in a deductible or coinsurance payment
Self-Pay 15,589 7,938,774.78 No Insurance and/or remaining co-payments
Total 17,854 9,128,254.86

All means of in-house collection have been exhausted and it has been determined that these accounts are truly uncollectible, and any further action on behalf of EMS Billing would be unproductive. The process includes reporting an adverse credit rating that could provide additional leverage for the Collection Agency to attempt collection on these accounts. Each patient has received three invoices prior to receiving their notice of pre-collection letter. Each account will be referred to the secondary collection agency in which the outstanding balance will be listed as an outstanding debt with all three credit reporting agencies.
