RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Grant Agreement #29-818-5 containing mutual indemnification with Public Health Foundation Enterprises, Inc. (dba Heluna Health), a nonprofit corporation, to pay the County an amount not to exceed $25,000 for participation in the FoodNet Expanded Case Exposure Ascertainment (eCEA) Project, for the period from August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This agreement will result in an amount not to exceed $25,000 in funding from the Public Health Foundation Enterprises. (No County match)

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department’s Public Health Division receives hundreds of reports of Salmonellosis and Shigellosis cases annually. There are likely many cases that do not get reported because community members do not see their doctor or confirmatory testing is not performed. These infections can result in serious illness and hospitalization across the age spectrum. Administering the expanded case report and the eCEA questionnaire will allow health officials to gathering additional information that could result in enhanced disease prevention and control activities.  
  
On October 5, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Grant Agreement #29-818-4 with Public Health Foundation Enterprises, Inc. (DBA Heluna Health) to receive funds in the amount of $23,639 for participation in the eCEA, to study foodborne bacteria, for the period from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2022.  
  
Approval of Agreement #29-818-5 will allow the County to continue to receive funds to support the eCEA Project, through July 31, 2023. This agreement includes mutual indemnification. There was a delay in submitting this agreement for approval due to the division not receiving the agreement until October 25, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, the County will not receive funding to provide services for the eCEA Project.
