RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee to execute Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) Amendment #28-949-2 containing mutual indemnification language with the City of Antioch, to allow the Health Services Department and the California Department of Public Health contractors use of the City’s Antioch Community Center parking lot for COVID-19 testing and immunizations to extend the term from September 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This is a nonfinancial agreement, there is no cost to the County associated with the signing of this MOA.

BACKGROUND:

On February 4, 2021, the County and the City of Antioch entered into a Memorandum of Agreement for Mutual Aid Assistance in Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic authorizing COVID-19 related services to occur at the Antioch Community Center parking lot. The term of the MOA extended through July 31, 2021.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On July 1, 2021, the County and the City of Antioch reached an agreement to extend the term of the MOA through August 31, 2021. The need to extend the term of the MOA through December 31, 2021 and change the portion of the parking lot to be made available for the provision of COVID-19 services, and modify the hours of operation have been identified as necessary action.

The County’s Health Officer has determined that accessible, timely testing and immunizations are critical to reduce transmission of the COVID-19 virus and to protect the community.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this MOA is not approved fewer COVID-19 tests and vaccinations will be administered which could increase the number of deaths in Contra Costa County.
