225C.7 MENTAL HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES
COMMUNITY SERVICES FUND.
1. A mental health and developmental disabilities community
services fund is established in the office of the treasurer of state
under the authority of the department, which shall consist of the
amounts appropriated to the fund by the general assembly for each
fiscal year. Before completion of the department's budget estimate
as required by section 8.23, the department shall determine and
include in the estimate the amount which should be appropriated to
the fund for the forthcoming fiscal period in order to implement the
purpose stated in section 225C.1.
2. Moneys appropriated to the fund shall be allocated to counties
for funding of community-based mental health, mental retardation,
developmental disabilities, and brain injury services in the manner
provided in the appropriation to the fund. If the allocation
methodology includes a population factor, the most recent population
estimates issued by the United States bureau of the census shall be
applied.
3. If a county has not established or is not affiliated with a
community mental health center under chapter 230A, the county shall
expend a portion of the money received under this appropriation to
contract with a community mental health center to provide mental
health services to the county's residents. If such a contractual
relationship is unworkable or undesirable, the commission may waive
the expenditure requirement. However, if the commission waives the
requirement, the commission shall address the specific concerns of
the county and shall attempt to facilitate the provision of mental
health services to the county's residents through an affiliation
agreement or other means.
4. a. A county is entitled to receive money from the fund if
that county raised by county levy and expended for mental health,
mental retardation, and developmental disabilities services, in the
preceding fiscal year, an amount of money at least equal to the
amount so raised and expended for those purposes during the fiscal
year beginning July 1, 1980.
b. With reference to the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1980,
money "raised by county levy and expended for mental health, mental
retardation, and developmental disabilities services" means the
county's maintenance of effort determined by using the general
allocation application for the state community mental health and
mental retardation services fund under section 225C.10, subsection 1,
Code 1993. The department, with the agreement of each county, shall
establish the actual amount expended by each county for persons with
mental illness, mental retardation, or a developmental disability in
the fiscal year which began on July 1, 1980, and this amount shall be
deemed each county's maintenance of effort.
