RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Memorandum of Understanding Agreement #28-887 with Contra Costa Mosquito and Vector Control District, a non-financial agreement, to share Protected Health Information (PHI) on human cases of Vector-Borne Diseases, for the period from November 1, 2016 through October 31, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This is a non-financial agreement. No County funds are required.

BACKGROUND:

The California Health and Safety Code Section 120175 authorizes the County’s Health Officer to take measures as may be necessary, to prevent the spread of infectious or communicable diseases, or the occurrence of additional cases. Approval of this Agreement will allow the County to share PHI with Contra Costa Mosquito and Vector Control District to protect the community from diseases spread by mosquitoes. Optimal mosquito trapping and testing will require the sharing of PHI with Contra Costa Mosquito and Vector Control District.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of this Memorandum of Understanding Agreement #28-887 will allow the County share protected health information with the Contra Costa Vector Control District, though October 31, 2021.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, the residents of Contra Costa County will have an additional level of protection from diseases spread by mosquitoes.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
