Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute on behalf of the County, SNAP
Agreement #29-336-1 with the State Department of Health Services for $1,900 of SNAP
Public Health Emergencies funding for the period October 1, 1986 - January 1, 1987

III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
On October 21, 1986 the Board approved Special Needs and Priorities (SNAP) Proposal
#29--336 for submission to the State Department of Health Services for funding to
control an outbreak of early primary syphilis. During June, July and August of
this year 24 new cases of early primary syphilis were detected in the Pittsburg and
West Pittsburg areas. In the past, public health efforts have limited the number
of cases in those two cities to five per year. To prevent the spread of this
disease to other parts of the County and State, special efforts toward prevention
were immediately initiated. In response to the County's SNAP Proposal, Agreement
#29-336-1 provides funding for screening for early detection of infected cases.
This document has been approved by the Department's Contracts and Grants
Administrator in accordance with the guidelines approved by the Board's Order of
December 1, 1981 (Guidelines for contract preparation and processing, Health
Services Department) .
The Board Chairman should sign four copies of the agreement, three of which should
then be returned to the Contracts and Grants Unit for submission to the State.
