RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director or designee, to accept on behalf of the County Grant Award #78-023 from the State of California Department of Justice for the Tobacco Grant Program funds, in an amount not to exceed $442,692 for the period from December 1, 2022 through July 30, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Acceptance of this award will result in an amount not to exceed $442,692 for the 34 month grant term. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

Funding from the California Department of Justice Tobacco Grant Program will be utilized to educate enforcement agencies about tobacco control policies with the overarching goal of increasing tobacco retailer compliance. Tobacco Prevention Program (TPP) staff will increase local enforcement agencies awareness of existing tobacco control policies, as well as any policy changes that may occur throughout the duration of the grant through outreach and education. TPP staff will also work to strengthen the capacity of local agencies to enforce tobacco control policies through trainings on emerging tobacco trends and facilitate workgroups where best practices in tobacco policy enforcement can be discussed and agency staff can share their experiences and learn from one another.

The Health Services Department received a notice of award from the California Department of Public Health on November 21, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this request is not approved, the Health Services Department will not be able to receive the funding from the State of California Department of Justice, to increase the ability of local enforcement agencies to enforce tobacco retail policies in Contra Costa County potentially leading to non-compliance of tobacco retailers and an increased ability of youth to access tobacco products.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This recommendation supports the following children's outcome(s): Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood; and Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families.
