ATTESTED: October 23, 2012 David Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: Carrie Del Bonta, Deputy cc: Tasha Scott, Demetria Gary C. 40 To:Board of Supervisors From:William Walker, M.D. Date:October 23, 2012 Contra Costa County Subject:Amendment #29-388-56 with the California Department of Public Health BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) The State requires only that the MOUs be signed by the State Office of AIDS Chief and the County's Health Officer, or his designee. This streamlines and expedites the contracting procedure for the AIDS Program, as only the Master Grant Agreement and any formal amendments to the Master Grant Agreement require County Board of Supervisors and State Department of Finance approval. On November 23, 2010, the Board of Supervisors approved Standard Agreement #29-388-54 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #29-388-55) with the California Department of Public Health, for the County’s AIDS Programs, including testing services, surveillance, case management, prevention education, outreach, social marketing, and services to women, for the period from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2013. Approval of this Standard Agreement Amendment #29-388-56 will make technical adjustments to the agreement, increase funding and allow the County to continue providing services in the HIV Prevention, Early Intervention, AIDS Case Management and HIV/AIDS Surveillance Programs, through June 30, 2013. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If this contract is not approved, County will not receive the necessary funding to support the reduction in transmission of HIV, provide case management services that will reduce hospitalization and support to HIV positive individuals to live at home or allow for compliance with State and Federal requirements for reporting of communicable disease. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: Not applicable.
