RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Agreement, State #13-20522 (County #28-602-13) with the California Department of Public Health, Nutrition Education and Obesity Prevention Program, in an amount payable to the County not to exceed $3,754,665, for the “County’s Nutrition and Physical Activity Promotion” Project, for the period from October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this agreement will result in an amount not to exceed $3,754,665 of State funding for the County’s Nutrition and Physical Activity Promotion Project. No County match required.

BACKGROUND:

On September 25, 2012, the Board of Supervisors approved Standard Agreement #28-602-12 with the California Department of Public Health, for the California Nutrition Network” Project for the period from October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2016. This Agreement provided nutrition education to Contra Costa County residents. The goal of the project was to educate the public, particularly low-income consumers, on healthful nutrition and physical activity practices to reduce risk for chronic disease.

Due to the government shut down last year, the State recently submitted a new revised Agreement #13-20522 (County #28-602-13) which supersedes State (#12-10263), to be processed for the County’s Nutrition and Physical Activity Promotion Project, for the period from October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2016, which includes agreeing to indemnify and hold the State harmless for claims arising out of the County’s performance under the Agreement. The County will provide nutrition and conduct nutrition activities to SNAP-Ed eligible families per Health and Safety Code Section 104650-104655.

The goal of this project is to create innovative partnerships that assist the Supplement Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAP-Ed) eligible consumers in adopting healthy eating and physical activity behaviors, as part of a healthy lifestyle, through September 30, 2016.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County will not receive funds to educate SNAP-Ed eligible on healthful nutrition and physical activity practices, to help reduce risk for chronic disease.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
