RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2022/9 authorizing the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to apply for and accept the California Department of Public Health’s Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Prevention and Control of Emerging Infectious Diseases (ELC), Detection and Mitigation of COVID-19 in Confinement Facilities Grant, in the amount of $324,656 to fund projects to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$324,656.00, 100% Federal funds.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff has an aggressive infection control plan in place to minimize the spread of COVID-19 within its three detention facilities. However, the West County Detention Facility was established long before the current pandemic and there are several areas that can be addressed to better control viral spread long term. This funding would be used to establish a clean air system for the West County Detention Facility. The proposed project for this grant is to install air circulation fans within the West County Detention Facility inmate housing units. The fans will provide air circulation while utilizing clean air technology to help mitigate airborne pathogens. Funding for these activities is covered for the period August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2024

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

A decision not to pursue grant funding would require the County to cover the costs of this project from the General Fund or to eliminate the project.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None.
