31. INCREASE IN FLEET FOR MARICOPA COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICE OF VITAL REGISTRATION Approve the permanent addition to Maricopa County’s Department of Public Health’s fleet for one mid-size sedan, estimated at $25,000 (including taxes and fees). The vehicle will be used by the Office of Vital Registration (OVR) for official business activities. Funding for the vehicle is Department of Public Health (860), Public Health Fee Fund (265). The Office of Vital Registration (OVR) is requesting to add one vehicle to its fleet currently due to OVR’s increased demand and activity amongst all five of its locations. The program currently has a fleet consisting of five vehicles which has proved insufficient to sustain its operational demand, ensure exceptional and timely customer service, partner and employee required training and maintain compliance throughout Maricopa County and the State. The OVR’s field program alone has been challenged to meet increased requests for training and support amongst its hundreds of funeral establishments, licensed healthcare facilities, physicians, educational institutions as well as various private & public agencies that must participate in the registration of vital records and the reporting of vital events. The OVR’s training team of four hosts trainings from all five of its locations throughout the County; however, most of its concurrent meetings, trainings and workshops are held offsite at these various partner locations - hospitals, establishments, board meetings, offices, educational institutions and agencies to ensure increased participation which directly impacts our mutual ability to ensure quality assurance, timely reporting and compliance benefiting the community we serve. Additionally, staff must travel daily across the program’s five locations, other Public Health sites and various state agencies to ensure that the OVR is meeting all of its various mandated service requirements. Therefore, the Office of Vital Registration is respectfully requesting the ability to add a vehicle to the County’s fleet. (C-86-20-009-V-00)
