RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director or his designee, to accept, on behalf of the County, Grant Agreement #28-825-9 (MRC #17-1969), from the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), to pay the County an amount not to exceed $13,000, for Contra Costa Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) Non-Competitive Capacity Building Grant Project, for the period from January 30, 2017 through March 31, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Acceptance of this grant agreement will result in an amount of $13,000 from NACCHO for the County’s Medical Reserve Corps Non-Competitive Capacity Building Grant Project. No County match required.

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa MRC is housed under Contra Costa County’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Division, MRC is part of the County's emergency planning and response system to address the need for additional medical professionals to respond to a medical surge event or an event such as those 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 continuous support to County’s MRC Non-competitive Capacity Building Grant Project to enhance the Contra Costa MRC unit. On March 7, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved submission of Grant Application #28-825-8 to NACCHO.

Approval of the Grant Agreement #28-825-9 will provide funding to support the MRC Non-Competitive Capacity Building Grant Project to enhance emergency planning and response system through March 31, 2018.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this grant agreement is not approved, 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 units.
