I . RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute on behalf of the
County, Standard Agreement X629-203-34 (State #88-94229 ) with the
State Department of Health Services in the amount of $371 ,624
for the period October 1 , 1988 - September 30 , 1989 for the

of State funding for this program. Sources of funding are :
State Department of Health Services (Federal Funds) : $371 , 624
County In-Kind : 36 ,086
Total Program $407 , 710
County ' s share of cost is included in the FY 1988-89 Budget .
State funding for this program last fiscal year was $357 ,691 .
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
For over twelve 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 . On June 21 , 1988 the Board approved submission
of Funding Application #29-203-33 to the State for continuation
of the Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants and Children
through September 30 , 1989 . This standard agreement is the
result of that funding application.
This program serves 5 ,330 pregnant women , breastfeeding women,
infants and high-risk nutrition problem children to age five
with nutrition education and food vouchers worth up to $60 each
month . This program coordinates with Maternal and Child Health
and Public Health nursing for referrals and information. Until
1986 the program funds covered expenses . With the comparable
worth increases , the County has had to cover operating expenses ,
but salary savings have covered one-third to one-half of the
County expenses .
The Board Chairman should sign eight copies of the contract ,
seven of which should then be returned to the Contracts and
Grants Unit for submission to State Department of Health
Services .
