SUBJECT Notice of Award 429-259-17 from the State Department of Health Services
for the Refugee Preventive Health Services Program
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Accept $42,500 from the State Department of Health Services for the period
July 1, 1986 - June 30, 1987 for the Refugee Preventive Health Services Program.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This award by the State results in $42,500 of State funding for the Refugee
Preventive Health Services Program. Sources of funding are as follows:
$42,500 State Department of Health Services
26,220 County In-Kind (Employee salaries and benefits above grant)
12,160 Health Services Overhead (Fixed)
6,840 County (A-87) Overhead (Memo only - not charged to Budget Unit)
$87,720 Total Program.
Health Services Overhead and County In-Kind are included in the FY 1986-87 Public
Health Budget. No additional County funds required.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
For over five years the County has participated in the Refugee Preventive Health
Services Program with the State Department of Health Services. Program funds are
used to provide interpreter services by trained bilingual Health Aides to assist
medical staff to provide needed health services to Contra Costa's extensive refugee
population (Southeast Asian, Afghanistan, Polish, Chinese, etc.) . On July 15, 1986
the Board approved Standard Agreement #29-259-16 to allow continuation of the
program during FY 1986-87 and assure compliance with Chapter 1, Section 17000-17003
of the Welfare and Institutions Code.
The Health Services Department recently received a notice of award from the State
Department of Health Services, granting the Department the $42,500 of funding
approved by the Board on July 15, 1986 for the Refugee Preventive Health Services
Program for FY 1986-87. The State has discontinued the use of standard agreements
between the State and local jurisdictions as the mechanism for administering
Federal Refugee Funds. Instead, these funds will be administered as a subvention
to local government based upon an approved project plan and budget negotiated
between the State and the recipient jurisdiction. This will allow workplan and
budget revisions without the need for contract amendments , thereby reducing the
administrative load on both parties.
