RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Grant Agreement #29-818-1 with Public Health Foundation Enterprises, Inc., a nonprofit organization, to pay County an amount not to exceed $28,125 for participation in the FoodNet Expanded Case Exposure Ascertainment (eCEA) Project for the period from January 15, 2019 through July 31, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Agreement will result in an amount not to exceed $28,125 in funding by Public Health Foundation Enterprises, Inc. (No County match required)

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department’s Public Health Division receives hundreds of reports of Salmonellosis and Shigellosis cases annually. There are likely many cases that do not get reported because community members do not see their doctor or confirmatory testing is not performed. These infections can result in serious illness and hospitalization across the age spectrum. Administering the expanded case report and the eCEA questionnaire will allow health officials to gathering additional information that could result in enhanced disease prevention and control activities.

On March 13, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Grant Agreement #29-818 with Public Health Foundation Enterprises, Inc. to receive funds for participation in the eCEA, to study foodborne bacteria, for the period from January 1, 2018 through July 31, 2018.

Approval of Agreement #29-818-1 will allow the County to receive additional funds to support the eCEA Project, through July 31, 2019. This Agreement includes mutual indemnification.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, The County will not receive funding to provide services for the eCEA Project.
