During the Central Health Board of Managers’ discussion of the Fiscal Year 2019-20 budget and tax rate, the board reviewed the financing for capital improvements expected in FY 2020. Central Health anticipates having $25 million in capital needs, which will cover some facilities improvements, technology and equipment needs, an investment in the realignment of Red River Street, as well as two to three clinics currently in initial planning stages. At tonight’s meeting, the board will be taking up the question of whether to approve a $10 million line of credit to be used for technology and equipment. The second public hearing on the FY 2020 budget is scheduled for today, Sept. 18, at 5:25 p.m. at the Central Health Administrative Offices, 1111 E. Cesar Chavez St., and the board of managers meeting will follow at 6 p.m.
