Title
Consider recommendations regarding Public Health Pandemic and Emergency Preparedness Planning Grant, as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Public Health Department Director to execute Agreement No. 14-10413, including Lobbying Certificate and Non-Supplantation Certification, with California Department of Public Health Emergency Preparedness Office for 2014-2017 CDC Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP), State General Fund (GF) Pandemic Influenza, and HHS Hospital Preparedness Program (HPP) funding in a total amount, not to exceed $1,887,942.00;
b) Authorize the Public Health Department Director to execute Amendments to Agreement No. 14-10413 to amend the financial year individual fund limits to allow unexpended funds from a financial year to be carried forward to subsequent financial years; and
c) Determine that these activities are exempt from California Environmental Quality Act review per CEQA Guideline Section 15378(b)(4), since the recommended actions are government fiscal activities which do not involve commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
