SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Accept $38,100 from the State Department of Health Services (Award Number 890701)
for the period April 1, 1990 through June 30, 1991, for the Tuberculosis Control

II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This award by the State results in $38,100 of State funding for the Tuberculosis
Control Program - Outreach Project. No County funds are required.
This is the first year of funding for this project.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
The Health Services Department maintains a tuber(tulosis control program which
serves all reported tuberculosis patients, and their contacts, in Contra Costa
County. Reported tuberculosis cases have doubled in the past two years and the
at-risk population (i.e. , I.V. drug users, homeless, etc. ) is more difficult to
reach.,
Acceptance of this award will enhance the Department's outreach project to
identify, educate and bring to treatment people who are at high risk for
tuberculosis and those people who are most likely to be medically non-compliant.
The Health Services Department recently received the notice of award from the
State Department of Health Services, granting the Department $38,100 of funding
for the Tuberculosis Control Program - Outreach Project.
