RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, Grant Award # 15-10230, (County #28-879) with the California Department of Public Health, Tobacco Control Program, payable to County in an amount not to exceed $990,000, for the County’s Public Health “Achieving Tobacco Related Health Equity" project, for the period of July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this grant will result in an amount of up to $990,000 in funding, from the California Department of Public Health, Tobacco Control Program. No County match required.

BACKGROUND:

On July 21, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved Submission of Application of funding #28-879 to the California Department of Public Health, Tobacco Control Program for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2020.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

While 87% percent of Contra Costans are non-smokers, smoking related diseases cost over $228 million in excess healthcare in the County, and many are exposed to second hand smoke. Specific populations continue to be targeted by the Tobacco Industry, and these populations are disproportionately affected by tobacco-related health disparities. The County’s Community Wellness and Prevention Program will work with other agencies in the County that are interested in tobacco prevention capacity building. The goal of the project will be to reduce pro-tobacco influences in the communities of Richmond, Concord and San Pablo; and to reduce residents’ exposure to second hand smoke.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this grant is not approved, County will not receive the necessary funding to support the County’s Public Health “Achieving Tobacco Related Health Equity Project.
