RESOLUTION
WHEREAS the Dallas EMA HIV Health Services Planning Council (HSPC)
established a plan for the continuum of care for the delivery of services to
individuals and families with AIDS/HIV disease;
WHEREAS this continuum was part of our successful application for
supplemental funds made to the Health Resources and Services
Administration in February 1992;
WHEREAS recent actions by the Dallas County Commissioners' Court
apr irs to have subterfuged the intent of the Ryan White CARE Act and the
una mous recommendation of the HSPC in substituting Its plan for that of
the SPC:
WHEREAS the Dallas County Commissioners' Court has awarded a
contract to an entity geographically ill-suited to serve the vast majority of
persons in the Dallas EMA who can reasonably be expected to seek the
emergency assistance services at the identified and yet-to-be-identified
locations (See, e.g., Section 2.a.(1).(a), et seq. and Appendix "H" of the
Application for Ryan White C.A.R.E. Act 1992 Supplemental Funds);
WHEREAS the HSPC's chosen vendor recommended to the Court for
approval included identified locations to equitably serve the identified target
populations in the HSPC plan;
WHEREAS the unfortunate circumstances created by the
Commissioners' Court severely compromise the integrity of the HSPC and the
community of cooperation that previously existed among AIDS services
organizations
WHEREAS our project officer noted in her letter of April 3, 1992 that
grant application review committees will insure "... that the intent of the law
takes priority for reviewers. Remember, they are individuals from the
trenches. Their concern is with clients. seeing that services are available
and accessible." (emphasis added);
WHEREAS the HSPC is concerned with the potential consequences of
this precedent;
