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.
