RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Grant Amendment Agreement #28-929-3 with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, to extend the term from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2023 with no change in the amount payable to the County of up to $100,000 for the Green and Healthy Homes Program which will monitor retrofit improvements in the homes of high-risk Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) members with asthma across Contra Costa County, improving indoor air quality and removing underlying asthma triggers.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this grant amendment agreement will have no fiscal impact as the original amount payable to the County of up to $100,000 will remain. (No County match)

BACKGROUND:

This grant allows Contra Costa Health Services, and the Contra Costa Department of Conservation and Development, with its partner, Marin Clean Energy (MCE), and the Association for Energy Affordability (AEA) to implement the Green and Healthy Homes Program and monitor retrofit improvements in the homes of high-risk CCHP members with asthma across Contra Costa County, improving indoor air quality and removing underlying asthma triggers. This grant agreement will also allow the partners to align project interests and outcomes to Assembly Bill 617 which aims to establish a new community-scale emissions abatement program to reduce the impact of air pollution.

On August 11, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Grant Agreement #28-929 to allow the County to receive $100,000 for the implementation of the Green and Healthy Homes Program through December 31, 2021.

On October 5, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Grant Amendment #28-929-1 which extended the term of the grant from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022 with no change in the amount payable to the County.

On March 22, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Grant Amendment #28-929-2 which extended the term of the grant from June 30, 2022 to December 31, 2022 with no change in the amount payable to the County.

Approval of Grant Amendment Agreement #28-929-3 will extend the term of the the Green and Healthy Homes Program through December 31, 2023. The agreement extension is needed due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused delays in services. This agreement 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 contract is not approved, the County will not be able to continue the Green and Healthy Homes Program and CCHP members with asthma will be negatively impacted.
