RECOMMENDATION(S):

1. APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Grant Award Amendment #29-393-36 with the California Department of Public Health, Tuberculosis (TB) Control Branch, to amend Grant Award #29-393-35, to increase the amount payable to the County by $28,387 from $316,958 to a new total of $345,345, with no change in the original term of July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.

2. AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to issue payment(s) totaling no more than $28,387, for the purchase of gift cards and vouchers for food, shelter, incentives and enablers (FSIE) purchases including gift cards ($20 Safeway, SaveMart, Target and gas cards), taxi vouchers, nutritional assistance, and rent subsidies.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment will result in an increase of $28,387 for additional FSIE allotment for FY 2022-2023 from the State of California, TB Control Branch, which will be expended by the department through the purchase of FSIE gift cards, transportation vouchers, nutritional assistance, and rent subsidies. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department’s Public Health Division maintains a TB Control Program, which serves all reported TB patients and their contacts in Contra Costa County. Outreach services are provided to reach the “Hard-to Reach” people with TB and those at high risk. The TB control staff work within the Communicable Disease Section in collaboration with the HIV/AIDS Program, Substance Abuse Programs, Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Health Centers, and providers throughout the County. This grant has been awarded to Contra Costa County since 1990.

On July 12, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved acceptance of Grant Award #29-393-35 with the California Department of Public Health, TB Control Branch, for the TB Control Program, to pay the County in an amount not to exceed $316,958, for the county’s TB control program for the period from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.

Approval of Grant Award Amendment #29-393-36 will allow the Department to receive additional funds for FSIE allotment of $28,387 for clients diagnosed with TB through June 30, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County will not receive additional funds for services which would result in a decrease in the number of TB patients who receive appropriate treatment and therefore increasing the spread of TB.
