Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: County will receive 30% of the total FY 2007-08 grant award of $223,637 to continue existing personnel costs and activities approved in the 2006-07 comprehensive agreement.
Background: The CDPH administers funding from the CDC for bioterrorism preparedness activities, funding which the County has received for several years, and has committed to continuing to provide CDC Preparedness funding to all Local Health Departments (LHD) throughout California in the 2007-08 grant year. Since the CDC just released instructions to States regarding this grant in FY 2007-08, and since the State application is not due until October 24, 2007, CDPH will award Public Health 30% of the 2007-08 allocation, prior to signing the grant agreement, which is to be used to continue existing personnel costs and activities approved in the 2006-07 comprehensive agreement. The funds are to cover the period August 31, 2007 through November 30, 2007.
Reason for Recommendation: To receive this advancement of funds from the FY 2007-08 grant, CDPH has requested that all LHDs submit a proposed budget and signed Non-Supplantation Certification Form, otherwise referred to as Exhibit E, found within the new grant agreement (not included herein), which certifies that the County will not use the funds provided by this grant for new contracts or new activities not included in the former FY 2006-07 grant agreement scope of work. A copy of that former agreement has been included with this item for the Board's review.
It is the CDC's and CDPH's goal to issue the full year grant award by the end of November. At that time, the Department will present a complete grant agreement to the Board for review and approval.
Action to be taken following Board approval: Chairman to sign three (3) copies of the attached certification form; Board Clerk's Office to return two (2) copies to Public Health; Public Health to forward to CDPH with the required budget proposal.
