RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Grant Agreement #78-019 (State #22-10726) with the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), to pay the County in an amount not to exceed $825,616, for the Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) Management Program and Collaboration Project, for the period from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this agreement will result in funding of up to $825,616 over a two-year period to support the STD Management and Collaboration Project. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this grant is to improve public health activities to monitor, instigate, and prevent STDs, including Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, and HIV, in Contra Costa County. Grant funds will be used to provide additional staff in each of the three STD clinics to ensure Contra Costa residents have access to necessary care and treatment to reduce the transmission of STDs. This program will conduct regular care collaboration and case conferencing with the Department’s Healthcare for the Homeless Program.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

This agreement is primarily being processed late because it was not received from CDPH until October 24, 2022.

Approval of Agreement #78-019 will allow the County to continue to provide services under the STD Management and Collaboration Project, through June 30, 2024. This agreement includes agreeing to indemnify and hold harmless the State from any claims arising out of the performance of this agreement.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County will not receive funds to provide additional prevention, treatment and monitoring to Contra Costa residents regarding STDs.
