BIOTERRORISM PREPAREDNESS FUNDS"
SPECIFIC REQUEST($)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director to certify on a semiannual basis that
National Bioterrorism Hospital Preparedness Program funds allocated by the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration for hospitals,
outpatient facilities, emergency management systems, and bioterrorism response planning and
preparedness are not being used to supplant existing County positions or activities for the period
August 31, 2003 through August 30, 2007. (All Districts)
FISCAL IMPACT:
Certification of this agreement of non-supplanting allows the County to accept Federal funding
through California State Department of Health Services designated for hospitals, outpatient
facilities and EMS systems for bioterrorism response planning and preparedness. No county
funds are required.
BACKGROUND:
Due to a California Department of Health Services requirement for a certification of non-
supplantation when submitting both the application and semi-annual progress reports, we request
approval and authorization from the Board of Supervisors for signing privileges with regard to the
DHS Certification Form of Non-Supplantation of HRSA Bioterrorism Preparedness Funds.
The County is applying for funding for September 1, 2003 —August 31, 2004 on behalf of
hospitals, outpatient facilities and EMS in Contra Costa County. This funding,will be used to
address the delivery of coordinated and effective care to victims of terrorism and other public
health emergencies through contract arrangements with entities eligible for funding in Contra
Costa County. The County is coordinating the local planning group for these funds and will act as
the fiscal agent. Certifications of non-supplantation have been gathered from all entities receiving
a portion of this funding. In Contra Costa County, persons in existing positions have had work
assignments restructured and new activities assigned to be able to do this work. These
procedures are consistent with the supplantation provisions of funder.
