RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute an Agreement with California State University, Fresno Foundation to provide registered dietician consultation services to the Department of Public Health, Nutrition Education and Obesity Prevention grant program, effective upon execution through September 30, 2023, which includes a nine-month base contract and two optional one-year extensions, total not to exceed $40,500.
REPORT
There is no additional Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. Approval of the recommended agreement will allow the Department of Public Health's Nutrition Education and Obesity Prevention (NEOP) grant program to meet the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) CalFresh Healthy Living Program scope of work requirements.
