Title
Consider recommendations regarding Human immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Prevention Program Grant Agreement with California Department of Public Health (CDPH), as follows:
a) Approve, ratify, and authorize the Chair to execute Grant Agreement Number 24-10524 with the CDPH to accept funding for the High-Impact HIV Prevention and Surveillance Programs in the amount not to exceed $412,076.00 for the period of August 1, 2024 through May 31, 2029;
b) Approve and authorize the Public Health Director, or designee, to make any required certifications and to change the Project Representative in accordance with Grant Agreement Number 24-10524;
c) Approve and authorize the Public Health Director to execute any future amendments to Grant Agreement Number 24-10524 including changes to the Statement of Work provided that the amendment does not exceed ten percent (10%) ($41,207.60) of the total agreement amount, upon review and concurrence by the Auditor-Controller’s Office, Risk Management, and County Counsel’s Office, subject to the Board’s ability to rescind this delegated authority at any time; and
d) Determine that the recommended actions are not a “Project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and are exempt per CEQA Guideline Section 15378(b)(4) since the recommended actions are creation of government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities that do not involve commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
