DATE: January 9, 2018
TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: David Pomaville, Director, Department of Public Health
SUBJECT: Retroactive Revenue Agreement with California Department of Public Health
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute a retroactive revenue Agreement with California Department of Public Health, for the Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health programs, effective July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018 ($6,841,257).
REPORT
Approval of the recommended action will provide the Department of Public Health with an additional year of California Department of Public Health (CDPH) funding for the Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health (MCAH) programs.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
There is no viable alternative action. Should your Board not approve the recommended action, the Department would not be able to accept these program specific CDPH funds, resulting in a staff and program reduction.
RETROACTIVE AGREEMENT:

* Federal Title V (210,795)
* Sudden Infant Deat...
