RECOMMENDATION(S):

RATIFY grant application for California Department of Justice Tobacco Grant Program for an amount not to exceed $972,902 to provide tobacco retailer compliance checks, tobacco retailer education workshops, and youth-led tobacco prevention social media campaign services for the period July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

If awarded, the grant funding of up to $972,902 would be distributed to the County by the California Department of Justice Tobacco Grant Program through the Proposition 56 California Healthcare, Research and Prevention Tobacco Tax Act grant to reimburse the County for eligible expenses.

BACKGROUND:

Established by the California Healthcare, Research and Prevention Tobacco Tax Act of 2016, this grant program allows for competitive funding of public agencies' expenditures which aim to reduce the illegal sale of tobacco products to minors. On August 7, 2020 the Health Services Tobacco Prevention Project submitted an application for funding for the DOJ-PROP56-2020-21-1 grant cycle to meet deadline requirements.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

If awarded, the amount granted will be funded on or about January 1, 2021 for a period between 24 and 36 months in-length.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the County will not be eligible to receive any funds awarded by the California Department of Justice Tobacco Grant Program during the current funding cycle.
