RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Wendel Brunner, M.D.), to execute, on behalf of the County, Agreement #28-700-8 (State #EPO P3-08) with the California Department of Public Health, to pay the County an amount not to exceed $1,641,903 for the Public Health Emergency Preparedness Comprehensive Program, Public Health Emergency Response (PHER), Phase three (3), for the period from July 31, 2009 through July 30, 2010.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this Agreement will result in $1,641,903 of funding for the Public Health Emergency Preparedness Response Program. No County funds are required.

BACKGROUND:

On November 3, 2009, the Board of Supervisors approved Agreement #28-700-7 with the California Department of Public Health to fund multiple Public Health Emergency Preparedness activities including, but not limited to, the Centers for Disease Control (CD) preparedness activities, the Cities Readiness Initiative (CRI) activities, Pandemic Influenza preparedness and ASPR Hospital Preparedness Program activities, for the County’s Public Health Emergency Preparedness Response Program, Phase one (1) and Phase two (2) through August 9, 2010.

Recently in November of 2009, the County Public Health Division was notified by the California Department of Public Health of additional funds to be used to respond to the Phase three (3) of the H1N1 pandemic flu outbreak in Contra Costa County. Approval of this Agreement #28-700-8 will provide additional funds for the PHER, to address gaps in capabilities for the H1N1 mass vaccination program and support activities related to implementation of the mass vaccination program, through July 30, 2010.
