<br /> <br /> <br />NORTH CAROLINA <br />ASSOCIATION OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br /> <br />TO: Managers and Clerks to the Board <br /> <br />FROM: Jim Blackburn, General Counsel <br /> <br />DATE: January 24, 2005 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: MODEL RESOLUTION <br />In Support of Medicaid Relief for Counties <br /> <br />Attached is a model resolution for you to consider as you plan local strategies in support <br />of Medicaid relief for counties. . Per our email of last week, we know that Representative <br />Julia Howard of Davie County has a county Medicaid relief bill ready to introduce. <br />Representative Howard co-chaired the Blue Ribbon Commission on Medicaid. In <br />addition, we expect county Medicaid relief bills to also be introduced on behalf of the <br />Blue Ribbon Commission by the other co-chairs, Senator William Purcell. of Scotland <br />County and Representative Edd Nye of Bladen County. <br /> <br />At this early stage of legislative development, it is more important for you to <br />communicate the severity of your needs back home rather than favoring particular <br />approaches. W eanticipate a variety of approaches to county Medicaid relief.. Creating <br />momentum for relief is our primary objective at this point in time; favoring any particular <br />approach over another one this early in the session could inhibit the conversation, rather <br />that further it. Please help us strengthen our position by being consistent in stating the <br />need in your county, by supporting a variety of bills, and by having personal <br />conversations with your legislators about any resolutions you adopt. <br /> <br />r.::.. , Lf <br />
