Title
Consider recommendations regarding a Public Health Department (PHD) and American Indian Health and Services (AIH&S) Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute the MOU between the County PHD and AIH&S to facilitate patient referrals between the agencies resulting in shared access to dental services at AIH&S and Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB/GYN) services at PHD for the period of July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2026;
b) Approve and authorize the Public Health Director to extend the MOU between PHD and AIH&S for up to an additional term of two years through June 30, 2028 in accordance with Section 6.A of the MOU, and to make immaterial changes, upon review and approval by the Auditor-Controller, Risk Management, and County Counsel, subject to the Board ability to rescind the delegation 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), pursuant to Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines, because the actions consist of the organization and administrative activities of the government that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.
