By: Ginger Marieiro, Contracts Administrator Contra
Costa
DATE: February 26, 1997 County
SUBJECT: Approve Standard Agreement (Amendment) #29-388-20 to the Master Grant Agreement with
the State Department of Health Services for the County's AIDS Program
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
A. Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee
(Wendel Brunner, M.D. ) , to execute on behalf of the County, Standard
Agreement (Amendment) #29-388-20 with the State Department of Health
Services effective October 1, 1996, to increase the contract payment
limit by $5,300 to a new total of $1,197, 019, to fund the County's AIDS
Program during FY 1996-97; and
B. Authorize the County's Health Officer (William Walker, M.D. ) to execute
a Memorandum of Understanding for the additional Local Assistance Block
Grant funds.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This Amendment increases the maximum reimbursable amount of State funding for
FY 1996-97 by $5,300, from $1,191,719 to a new total of $1,197,019, for the
County's AIDS Program. No County funds are required.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
On September 17, 1996, the Board of Supervisors approved Agreement #29-388-19
with the State Department of Health Services, for the period from July 1, 1996
through June 30, 1997, for the County's AIDS Program.
The Master Grant Agreement incorporates a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for
each service component of the AIDS Program. The MOU's define the services to
be provided and the budget for each component and are negotiated by the staff
of the State Office of AIDS and County AIDS Program representatives. The State
requires only the signatures of the State Office of AIDS Chief and the County
Health Officer on the MOU's and any amendments to the MOU's. This streamlines
and expedites the contracting procedure for the State and County AIDS Programs
because only new Master Grant Agreements and formal amendments affecting the
total payment limit of the Master Grant Agreement require County Board of
Supervisors and State Department of Finance approval.
This Amendment increases the total contract payment limit for FY 1996-97 to
provide funds for computerized AIDS case reporting and HIV testing data
management for the County's AIDS Program.
Three certified and sealed copies of this Board Order should be returned to the
Contracts and Grants Unit for submission to the State.
