SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chair to execute on behalf of the County,
Standard Agreement (Amendment) #28-510-2 .(State #90-11483-01) with
the State Department of Health Services, effective June 1, 1991, to
increase the contract payment limit by $100,000, from $214,284 to
a new total of $314,284, for the African-American Infant Health
Project in West County.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This amendment increases the State's funding for this program by
$100, 000, from $214,284 to a new total of $314,284, for the
Department's African-American Infant Health Project in West County.
No County match is required.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
Infant mortality is twice as high among African-Americans than for
other races in this County and twice as high in West County than in
other areas. Infant morbidity is also twice as high. This
mortality and morbidity is strongly associated with Maternal
substance abuse. This project provides case management services
and drug/alcohol treatment services to 30 to 60 Black pregnant or
parenting women and their infants per year. The goal is to reduce
Black infant mortality rates by reducing the numbers of infants
with low birth weights and ensuring healthy pregnancies and healthy
babies.
Approval of Standard Agreement (Amendment) #28-510-2 will increase
the FY 91-92 and the FY 92-93 payment limits by $50, 000 each, for
a new three year contract total of $314,284 .
The Board Chair should sign nine copies of the, agreement, eight of
which should then be returned to the Contracts and Grants Unit for
submission to the State Department of Health Services.
