Title
Consider recommendations regarding Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) Prevention and Collaboration Grant Award Number 26-STI25 from the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute Grant Award Number 26-STI25 with the CDPH to accept funding for the implementation of the STI Program Management and Collaboration Project in the amount not to exceed $1,751,370.00 for the grant period July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031;
b) Approve and authorize the Public Health Director to execute any future amendments to Grant Award Number 26-STI25, so long as the amendment does not exceed ten percent (10%) ($175,137.00) of the total award amount work plan, 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; and
c) 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.
