73. ACCEPTANCE AND USE OF GIFT CARDS FOR THE TUBERCULOSIS CONTROL INCENTIVE PROGRAM Approve the acceptance and use of Chevron and Walmart gift cards provided by the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS), to Maricopa County by and through its Department of Public Health (MCDPH), Tuberculosis (TB) Control Program. For FY24, the MCDPH TB Clinic received a donation of 100 Chevron gift cards at $10 each, for a total value of $1,000.00, and 10 Walmart gift cards at $100.00 each, for a total value of $1000.00. The combined total value of all gift cards received is $2,000.00. Gift card donations have been received by the TB program for several years. We expect they will reoccur. Cash and/or in-kind match is not applicable nor are ongoing cash contributions required should they cease to be provided to the program. TB services are a mandated function and donations such as these incentivize the treatment program because awareness and treatment of TB patients is a benefit to Maricopa County residents. To our knowledge, the donations to the TB program are not given in a competitive manner. Program costs associated with these donations are absorbed by the TB program’s grant budget. Administration costs are absorbed by the department’s operating budget. MCDPH’s indirect rate for FY24 is 15.65%. This in-kind donation does not allow for indirect, therefore indirect expenses estimated at $313.00 are not recoverable. The gift cards are redeemable at Walmart and Chevron and are to be used solely as incentives for clients receiving anti-tuberculosis treatment and for high-risk contacts, particularly children receiving treatment for latent TB infection.
