SUBJECT: Request for renewal and expansion fundidiing
for the Colorado Nurse Home Visitor
Program
Enclosed for Board review and approval are budget descriptions for the grant renewal
application between the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) and
Weld County for the Colorado Nurse Home Visitor Program.
WCDPHE is requesting continuation of funding to implement and expand the scope to provide
county-wide nurse home visitor services to low-income, first-time mothers as provided for in the
Nurse Home Visitor Program Act, section 25-31-101, et. Seq., C.R.S., as amended and
administered by the CDPHE. For these services, Weld County is requesting an amount not to
exceed $370,350 for the time period of July 1, 2003 through June 30, 2004.
Included in this packet is a proposal to expand the nurse home visitor services by increasing our
contract with CDPHE to increase our capacity to serve eligible clients in Weld County.
Additional program personnel, training, and operating costs will be covered by the funding
request of$399,397.
This funding will be used to support health education and other resources for new young mothers
during pregnancy and the first years of their infants' lives under program guidelines. WCDPHE
will collaborate with multiple community agencies in implementing this program.
I recommend your approval of WCDPHE's applications for this renewal and application
funding.

Budget Narrative
Personal Services
The salaries for our current staff of four full time RNs, 'h time Data Assistant and '/2 of
the full time supervisors position, are included in this section. RN's generally have a full
caseload of clients to follow and recruit. Benefits are calculated per Weld County policy and
schedule. Salary increases reflected in 2004-05 and 2005-06 at a rate of 4%.
Operating Expense
• Office supplies are utilized by the staff to provide client notebooks, charts, files and
general organization.
• Client support materials in the third year will provide an age appropriate item for
developmental stimulation of infants/toddlers, and resource materials or tools for
parents. It is anticipated that 20%of clients will be new referrals each year, and will
require the initial package of client support materials. The formula is based on 20%
new clients, 40% clients in their second year of participation, and 40% of clients in
their third year of participation. This calculation = $4300 per year in the ongoing
program.
• Printing expenses are derived from duplication of program forms, facilitators,
educational materials, and printing program brochures and program promotion
materials to use in the community.
• Postage is for client and program contacts.
• The phone line item includes office phone equipment and service for all program
staff
• Computer network fees provide access to the internet system.
• Cell phone - $100 is budgeted to purchase replacement cell phones ($25.00) for the 4
RN's
• Cell phone usage- $40 per monthly service package, for 5 RN's for 12 months=
$2500.
• Health and program supplies will include batteries for scales and replacement of
small items in the visiting bags (tape, gloves, demonstration items)

program related fields.

Travel

of 2 visits per month. Two nurses have a 10 mile round trip average, and 2 nurses
have a 30 mile round trip average.
• 50 visits x 10 miles x 12 months x $ .34 reimbursement= $2040 x 2 nurses= $4080.
50 visits x 30 miles x 12 months x $.34 reimbursement = $6120 x 2nurses = $12240
Total visit mileage= $16,320
