RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Agreement #29-818 with Public Health Foundation Enterprises, Inc., a nonprofit organization, to pay County an amount not to exceed $28,125 for participation in the FoodNet Expanded Case Exposure Ascertainment (eCEA) Project for the period from January 1, 2018 through July 31, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The agreement will result in an amount not to exceed $28,125 in funding by Public Health Foundation Enterprises, Inc. (No County match required)

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department’s Public Health Division receives hundreds of reports of Salmonellosis and Shigellosis cases annually. There are likely many cases that do not get reported because community members do not see their doctor or confirmatory testing is not performed. These infections can result in serious illness and hospitalization across the age spectrum. Administering the expanded case report and the eCEA questionnaire will allow health officials to gathering additional information that could result in enhanced disease prevention and control activities.

The Health Services Department’s Public Health Division’s Disease Investigation and Control Unit staff routinely work with the California Emerging Infections Program, the California Department of Public Health, and other local health departments to control and prevent communicable diseases and to gather additional information that can enhance disease prevention and control activities.

Approval of this Agreement #29-818 will allow additional interview questions to support the eCEA Proect, through July 31, 2018. This agreement includes mutual indemnification.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, the County will not receive funding to provide services for the eCEA Project.
