County
SUBJECT: Approval of Extension Agreement#28-309-1 with The California Endowment
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, to execute on behalf of the County,
Extension Agreement #28-309-1 with The California Endowment, a non-profit corporation, for
the Reducing Health Disparities Initiative, to extend the term from March 31, 2006 through June
30, 2007.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No Change. Contractor has paid County an amount not to exceed $125,000 of funding from The
California Endowment, for the Reducing Health Disparities Initiative. No County funds are
required.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
The County's Reducing Health Disparities Initiative Twelve Month Education Plan will allow the
Department to implement a curriculum that will increase awareness, knowledge, and skills with
regard to being culturally and linguistically competent for managers and supervisors, in order to
improve services for patients and clients who access health services, especially those from
different cultures or with different languages.
On May 10, 2005, the Board of Supervisors approved Grant Agreement 928-309, with The
California Endowment, for the period from April 1, 2005 through March 31, 2006, for the
Reducing Health Disparities Initiative Twelve Month Education Plan.
Due to delays in the scheduling of necessary training, the County was not able to complete all
services set forth in the Grant Agreement by March 31, 2006. Therefore, Extension Agreement
#28-309-1 will allow the County to complete services required under Reducing Health Disparities
Initiative Twelve Month Education Plan and extend the term of the Grant Agreement, through
June 30, 2007.
