RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to submit an application #29-396-16, to the California Department of Public Health, Tobacco Control Program, in an amount not to exceed $150,000 for the County’s Comprehensive Tobacco Control Plan (CTCP) Program for the period July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this application will result in an amount not to exceed $150,000 for the CTCP Program. (100% State; no County match)

BACKGROUND:

The State has designated Contra Costa County as "the Local Lead Agency", and Public Health Division's Prevention Program is coordinating countywide tobacco control activities, including the facilitation and staffing of a Tobacco Control Coalition.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The goal of this CTCP, is to reduce secondhand smoke, to counter Pro-Tobacco influences and to reduce access to tobacco products in Contra Costa County. The project also works with community organizations to adopt tobacco prevention as part of their organizational mission. The local Tobacco Prevention Coalition established the Project priorities.
In order to meet the deadline for submission, a draft copy of the application has been forwarded to California Department of Public Health, Tobacco Control Program, but subject to Board approval.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, County will not receive funding from the California Department of Public Health to support the efforts of the County's Comprehensive Tobacco Control Plan.
