BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
areas with pre- 1978 houses, in Concord. Contra Costa Health Services Community
Wellness and Prevention Program, Lead Poisoning Prevention Project staff will provide
technical assistance, training, case management, community education, and outreach
services to medical providers and Monument corridor community residents. The County

The goal of the project is to decrease exposure of children to lead and the incident of
increased childhood blood lead levels, develop a network for referral for families eligible
for the new HUD Program in Concord, manage lead exposed children to meet standards of
care, and eliminate lead hazards. On April 21, 2009, the Board of Supervisors approved
Grant Agreement #28-800 with the City of Concord for the County’s Lead Based Paint
Hazard Control Program, including agreeing to indemnify and hold the City harmless for
any claims arising out of the performance of this agreement.
Approval of Grant Amendment Agreement #28-800-1 will allow the County to continue to
provide services through April 30, 2011, while continuing to indemnify and hold the City
harmless for any claims arising out of the performance of this agreement.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, exposure of children to lead and incidents of childhood
blood lead levels will increase in Contra Costa County.
