Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: There is no Net County Cost associated with this no-cost extension of the grant funding Agreement with California HealthCare Foundation (CHCF).
Background: April 7, 2009, the Board of Supervisors approved the original CHCF grant Agreement funding ACCEL activities for a term April 1, 2009 through December 20, 2010, in the amount of $250,000. At this time, CHCF has offered a no-cost extension through June 30, 2011 to allow completion of implementation, analysis, and reporting regarding the Specialty Care Initiative Implementation Project.
Compensation for Services: Scheduled payments based on completion of grant deliverables.
Contract Termination: This Agreement may be cancelled by CHCF at any time if, in CHCF's judgment, the grantee becomes unable to carry out the purposes of the grant, ceases to be an appropriate means of accomplishing the purposes of the grant, or fails to comply with any of the conditions of the grant award.
Retroactive Term: Upon receiving notice that CHCF was offering a no-cost extension of this Agreement, the Department promptly began processing the Agreement through Department and County review processes. The signed Amendment 1 was received from the grantor March 7, 2011 and immediately submitted for the next available Board agenda date.
Reason for Recommendation: Approval of this Amendment I to the CHCF grant Agreement will allow the Department to continue ACCEL activities funded under this Agreement.
Action to be taken following Board approval:
1) Chair to sign three (3) original Amendments 1 to Agreement 08-1901.
2) Board Clerk's Office to return two (2) signed Amendments to Department.
3) Department to distribute documents as appropriate.
