Title
Consider recommendations regarding the Ryan White Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Care Program Grant Agreement Number 23-10983 with California Department of Public Health (CDPH), as follows:
a) Approve, ratify, and authorize prior Chair Lavagnino’s signature for executing Grant Agreement Number 23-10983, with the CDPH to accept funding for the HIV Care Program in the amount not to exceed $1,151,130.00 for the grant period of April 1, 2024 through March 31, 2029;
b) Approve and authorize the Public Health Director to execute any future amendments to Grant Agreement Number 23-10983, so long as the amount does not exceed 10% ($115,113.00) 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 23-10983; and
d) Determine that the recommended actions are not a “Project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act and is exempt per CEQA Guideline Section 15378(b)(4) since the recommended actions are government fiscal activities that do not involve commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
