A. The department of health services may use monies at its disposal and not otherwise appropriated to match monies provided by cities and counties to establish and maintain local health department services for any city or county, on such reasonable terms as it establishes by rule. From the appropriation made for purposes of this section, the department of health services shall reimburse local health departments, which meet minimum standards of personnel and performance established by the director of the department of health services and, on submission and approval of a plan and budget by such local health departments, fifty percent of the portion of the total approved budget not in excess of one dollar twenty-five cents per capita or a prorated portion thereof if sufficient monies are not available to meet the approved requests. If annual expenditures of the local health department are less than the amount budgeted, the total state reimbursement to such department for the year shall not exceed the appropriate percentage of the amount actually expended by such local health department. The department of health services, in addition, may provide federal monies or services for demonstrations, studies and special projects, or for emergencies.

The Arizona health care cost containment system administration shall advance or reimburse monies to local agencies that have submitted and obtained approval of an annual plan and budget. The annual amount of state matching funds provided shall not exceed seventy-five percent of the total annual amount of monies and value of in-kind resources used by the agency to establish and maintain local mental health facilities and services.
