Title
Consider recommendations regarding a Disease Intervention Specialist (DIS) Workforce Development Project Grant Agreement Number 25-10623 from the California Department of Public Health, as follows:
a) Approve, ratify, and authorize the Chair to execute Grant Agreement Number 25-10623 with the California Department of Public Health to accept funding for the implementation of the DIS Workforce Development Project in the amount not to exceed $733,761.00 for the grant period July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2030;
b) Approve and authorize the Public Health Director to execute any future amendments to Grant Agreement Number 25-10623, so long as the amount does not exceed 10% ($73,376.00) of the agreement amount and there are no significant changes in the scope of work, upon review and approval by the Auditor-Controller and County Counsel, subject to the Board’s ability to rescind this delegated authority at any time;
c) Approve and authorize the Public Health Director, or designee, to make and sign any required certifications and to make Project Representative changes in accordance with Grant Agreement Number 25-10623; and
d) Determine that the recommended actions do not constitute a “Project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and are exempt pursuant to Section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines, since the recommended actions are the creation of government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities that do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
