Title
Consider recommendations regarding Public Health Pandemic and Emergency Preparedness Planning Grant, as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Public Health Department (PHD) Director to execute Agreement No. 17-10193 with California Department of Public Health Emergency Preparedness Office for Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP), State General Fund (GF) Pandemic Influenza, and HHS Hospital Preparedness Program (HPP) in the amount not to exceed $3,156,945.00 for the period of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2022;
b) Approve and authorize the PHD Director to execute amendments to Agreement No. 17-10193 to amend the financial year individual fund limits to allow unexpended funds from a financial year to be carried forward to subsequent financial years for the PHEP and HPP grant programs as authorized by the State and so long as that “carry-forward” amount does not exceed a cumulative amount of $200,000.00 per year;
c) Approve and authorize the PHD Director, or designee, to sign associated certifications with the California Department of Health Care Services for Agreement No. 17-10193; and
d) Determine that these activities are exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) 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.
