Subject:Award Amendment #29-393-21 with the California Department of Public Health, Tuberculosis Control Branch
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The TB control staff work within the Communicable Disease Section in collaboration with the HIV/AIDS Program,
Substance Abuse Programs, Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Health Centers, and providers throughout the
County.
On July 16, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved acceptance of Grant Award #29-393-20 with the California
Department of Public Health, TB Control Branch, for the TB Control Program, for the period from July 1, 2013
through June 30, 2014.
Approval of Grant Award Amendment #29-393-21 will allow the Department to receive additional funds for
translation services and public health laboratory services and supplies, through June 30, 2014.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, the County will not receive additional funds for services which would result in a
decrease in the number of TB patients who receive appropriate treatment and therefore increasing the spread of TB.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
