RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to submit funding application #28-825-10 to the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), in an amount not to exceed $7,500, for the Contra Costa Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) Non-Competitive Capacity Building Grant Project, for the period from February 12, 2018 through August 31, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this funding application will result in a maximum amount of $7,500 from NACCHO to support the County’s MRC Non-Competitive Capacity Building Grant Project. No County match required.

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa MRC is housed under the Health Services Department's Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Division. MRC is part of the County's emergency planning and response system and addresses the need for additional medical professionals to respond to a medical surge event or an event requiring the mass distribution of pharmaceuticals. Additionally, the MRC participates in trainings, health fairs, flu clinics, first aid, and community service. The NACCHO award will provide funding to allow MRC to acquire medical supply cases and an assistant MRC Coordinator to manage community/hospital outreach training.

The funds will be used to provide continuous support to County’s MRC Non-Competitive Capacity Building Grant Project to enhance the Contra Costa MRC unit through August 31, 2018.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this application is not accepted, the County’s Emergency Medical Services will not receive funding to support its Non-Competitive Capacity Building Grant Project to continue enhancement of the MRC.
