RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Standard Agreement (Amendment) #29-203-102 (State #22-10241, A-1) with the California Department of Public Health, to increase the total amount payable to the County by $430,584 for a new total of $16,311,708, for additional Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) services with no change in the original term of October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this agreement will result in an additional amount payable to the County of $430,584 from the California Department of Public Health for the Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) through September 30, 2025. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

Since 1974 the County has participated in the WIC Program with the State. This is a mandated program under the Community Health Services Division of the State Department of Health Services. WIC is a nutrition education, counseling and food supplement program for low-income, pregnant, postpartum and breast-feeding women, infants and children at nutritional risk. This program serves approximately 22,200 clients.

On September 13, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Standard Agreement #29-203-101 with the California Department of Public Health, in an amount not to exceed $15,881,124 for the WIC Program, for the period from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2025. This agreement included agreeing to indemnify and hold the State harmless for claims arising out of the County’s performance under this agreement.

Approval of Standard Agreement (Amendment) #29-203-102 will allow for additional funding from the State for the WIC Supplemental Food Program through September 30, 2025.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County will not receive additional funding to support the continuation of the WIC Supplemental Food Program.
