RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, Standard (Amendment) Agreement #29-203-94 (State #15-10068, A01) with California Department of Public Health, effective October 1, 2015, to increase payment to the County by $318,855 from $17,532,475 to a new total not to exceed $17,851,330, to amend Agreement #29-203-93, with no change in the original term of October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this Amendment will result in an increase of $318,855 of funding from the California Department of Public Health for the Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) through September 30, 2019. No County Funds required.

BACKGROUND:

For over eighteen years 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 October 6, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved Standard Agreement #29-203-93, with the California Department of Public Health, for the Supplemental Food Program, for the period from October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2019.

Approval of Standard (Amendment) Agreement #29-203-94 will make technical adjustments to the budget, allowing the County to continue nutrition assessments and education, community referrals, and food checks to eligible residents of Contra Costa County, through September 30, 2019.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, the County will not receive funds to continue nutrition assessments and education, community referrals, and food checks to eligible residents of Contra Costa County.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
