RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Standard Amendment Agreement #29-203-98 (State #19-10143, A01) with California Department of Public Health, to increase the payment limit by $141,710 from $12,941,349 to a new total payable to the County of $13,083,059 for the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program, with no change in the original term of October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this Amendment will allow the County to receive additional funding for Fiscal Year 2020/2021 for the WIC Program. No County match is 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 September 17, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Standard Agreement #29-203-97 with the California Department of Public Health, for the WIC Program, for the period from October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2022.

Approval of Standard Amendment Agreement #29-203-98 will allow additional funding for the County to continue nutrition assessments and education, community referrals, and food checks to eligible residents of Contra Costa County, through September 30, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
