ATTESTED: September 27, 2011 David Twa, BY:June McHuen , Deputy RECOMMENDATION(S): Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his Designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Standard Agreement #28-643-6 (State #11 10035) with the California Department of Public Health (Sexually Transmitted Disease Community Intervention Program), to pay the County an amount not to exceed $75,000 to conduct the Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) Prevention and Control Program, for the period from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2013. FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of this Standard Agreement will result in a total amount not to exceed $75,000, ($37,500 per each fiscal year) for the STD Prevention and Control Program. (No County match required.) BACKGROUND: More than 68,700 cases of Chlamydia (CT) were reported in California since 1997. However, due to underreporting and undiagnosed infections, experts estimate that closer to 300,000 women and their partners are infected annually. The purpose of this project is to facilitate, develop, and enhance local capacity for Chlamydia (CT) awareness and prevention through a process of community-health department collaboration and partnership. Approval of Standard Agreement #28-643-6 will continue funding to enhance the STD Prevention and Control Program, incorporating education, awareness, outreach, counseling, testing, treatment, surveillance, reporting, and/or partner services, with special emphasis on individuals at high risk for infectious transmitted diseases, through June 30, 2013, including agreeing to indemnify and hold harmless the State from any claims arising out of the performance of this Agreement. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If this contract is not approved, the County will not receive funds to continue providing education to providers and to the public regarding the incidence of STDs, correct treatment and prevention.
