DATE: June 6, 2017
TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: David Pomaville, Director, Department of Public Health
SUBJECT: Amendment IV to Revenue Agreement with the California Department of Public Health
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute Amendment IV to revenue Agreement No. 14-602 and related California Civil Rights Laws Attachment form with the California Department of Public Health, for Federal and State Public Health Emergency Preparedness and Hospital Preparedness Program funds extending the term one year from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018 and increasing the maximum by $72,159 to a total of $4,657,699.
