Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: This Ryan White C.A.R.E. Act Agreement provides $53,468 in funding for the term 3/01/07 through 2/29/08. The FY 06/07 adopted budget includes this funding as does the proposed FY 07/08 County budget. There is no net County cost.
Background: The Ryan White C.A.R.E. Act provides direct emergency services for people living with HIV disease. Services include, but are not limited to, information, referrals and/or arranging for outpatient medical care, skilled nursing, medication management, diagnosis and treatment of common medical and mental conditions, and addressing nutrition issues to include direct food purchases as well as support to local food banks in El Dorado County. El Dorado County Ryan White and HOPWA (housing assistance) services are subcontracted out to Sierra Foothills AIDS Foundation, an agency with which we have a longstanding, successful relationship. The Department will return to the Board to execute the subcontracts with Sierra Foothills AIDS Foundation for HOPWA and Ryan White services. The contracts are now being processed through our system.
Reason for Recommendation: El Dorado and other local rural counties obtain their State sponsored Ryan White C.A.R.E. Act and HOPWA funding through Sacramento County. This contract is retroactive to March 1, 2007 due to late receipt of contract documents from Sacramento. The Department received this Agreement for processing on April 9, 2007. It was immediately fast-tracked through the approval process in order to present it to the Board as quickly as possible.
Action to be taken following Board approval: Public Health Director to sign five (5) originals of attached Agreement where indicated; Public Health to forward signed documents to Sacramento County for final execution; Public Health to return one fully executed original agreement to Board Clerks Office; and Department to return to the Board (if necessary) with Ryan White & HOPWA service contracts for FY 07/08.
