RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Amendment Agreement #28-389-3 with the Regents of the University of California, on behalf of its San Francisco Campus, to amend Grant Agreement #28-389-1, to increase the amount payable to the County by $89,500, from $153,750 to a new amount not to exceed $243,250, and to extend the termination date from August 31, 2020 to August 31, 2021, for the Area Health Education Center (AHEC) Scholars Program to provide online training, experiential activities and mentorship to health professional students for the Area Health Education Center (AHEC) Scholars Program.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment will allow the County to receive additional revenues of up to $89,500, from the Regents of the University of California, on behalf of its San Francisco Campus, and require a County match of $117,210. This would result in a total amount of $153,750 payable to the County with a required County contribution totaling $176,273.

BACKGROUND:

The AHEC Scholars Program provides meaningful work-based learning experiences and relevant community-based projects to college and pre-professional students to become a diverse and culturally competent health workforce. The AHEC Scholars Program will provide participants the community-health focus needed to enhance their education and career goals and introduce them to a variety of Contra Costa Health Services career pathway opportunities and agency partners.

On April 9, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Grant Agreement #28-389-1 to receive $75,000 in funds from the Regents of the University of California, on behalf of its San Francisco Campus for the AHEC Scholars Program, for the period January 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019. On January 21, 2020 (as corrected by May 26, 2020 Board Order) the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement #28-389-2 to increase the payment amount by $78,750 to a new total of $153,750 and extend the termination date from August 31, 2019 to August 31, 2020 for continuation of the AHEC Scholars Program.

Approval of Amendment Agreement #28-389-3 will allow the County to receive additional funds for the AHEC Scholars Program through August 31, 2021. This contract includes mutual indemnification to hold harmless both parties for any claims arising out of the performance of this contract.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment agreement is not approved, the County will not receive additional funding to support the continuation of the AHEC Scholars Program.
