Of this appropriation, $50,000 shall not be expended or encumbered unless by May 31, 2007, the executive has submitted to the council for review and approval by ordinance and to the board of health for review a plan for the restructuring of personal health care and clinical services provided by the department of public health. The council finds that the current model for delivery of clinical services provided by the department of public health is not financially sustainable and that there are opportunities to achieve better health outcomes by coordinating with the community health care safety net to produce a more effective system of care.
The clinical services restructuring plan shall include: (1) an assessment of the capacity of the current community health care safety net, including the public health centers; (2) a review of each clinical service area, including access and outreach, to determine whether the service fulfills a public health need; (3) for each service that does fulfill a public health need, an examination of the appropriate role of the department of public health in meeting that need; (4) an evaluation of alternative models through which the department of public health can fulfill its roles, such as by providing the service directly, contracting with other organizations to provide the service, making financial contributions to other organizations or providing or financing of facilities; and (5) in order that the current level of services can continue to be provided, options for timely and smooth transition of those clinical services for which it is determined the department of public health does not have a direct service role.
This plan shall be developed as part of Phase II of the Public Health Operational Master Plan ("PHOMP") under the guidance of the PHOMP steering committee. The PHOMP steering committee shall prepare the plan in consultation with an expert panel familiar with King County's community health care safety net. The members of the panel shall be selected by the PHOMP steering committee. The panel shall work in conjunction with the PHOMP consultants and staff team in developing options for review by the PHOMP steering committee.
Any report, plan and proposed ordinance required to be submitted by this proviso must be filed in the form of 12 copies with the clerk of the council, who will retain the original and will forward copies to each councilmember and to the lead staff of the board of health and the law, justice and human services committee, or their successors.

The report shall also include projects delivered through alternative contracting or financing mechanisms, such as general contractor/construction manager, lease/lease-back, projects financed under Internal Revenue Ruling 63-20 and lease-to-own. The report shall describe the criteria used to prioritize the project list.
For each project on the list, the report shall include the following information: (1) the date funds were first appropriated to the capital improvement project; (2) reasons for any significant delay and/or significant rescoping; (3) current scope of work; (4) current schedule; (5) current budget including identification of increased cost over time; (6) delivery method, including identification of financing and contracting mechanisms; (7) a description of the project's prioritized ranking at the time it first received appropriation and its priority ranking as of January 1, 2007, and the basis for these rankings; and (8) whether the project is consistent with or has been significantly altered from its original scope and purpose.
