BACKGROUND:
|
Since 1993, the California Department of Health Services (CDHS) has been providing funding to the San Mateo County AIDS Program to provide a continuum of services that includes HIV prevention and education, high-risk outreach and testing, case management and AIDS surveillance.
|
|
|
On January 4, 2005, your Board approved an Agreement with CDHS for $4,186,170 for the term July 1, 2004 through June 30, 2007 to fund the above-mentioned services. Subsequently, your Board approved two Amendments to the HIV Prevention section of the Agreement. Amendment A01 decreased funds in the amount of $42,152 and was approved on September 13, 2005. Amendment A02 was approved on January 10, 2006 and increased funding by $71,156 to improve the content, functionality and appearance of the San Mateo County AIDS Program’s website.
|
|
|
DISCUSSION:
|
CDHS has again allocated one-time-only funds in the amount of $71,156 for the HIV Prevention section of the Agreement. These funds will be used to develop three education and testing marketing campaigns targeting specific high-risk groups, to retrofit the testing vans to provide rapid HIV testing and to provide trainings that will enhance the prevention staff’s skills and knowledge.
|
|
|
County Counsel has reviewed and approved the resolution and Amendment to the Agreement as to form.

FISCAL IMPACT:
|
This Amendment does not alter the term of the original Agreement, which is July 1, 2004 through June 30, 2007. The amount of the original Agreement was $4,186,170. Amendment A01 decreased the amount of the Agreement by $42,152. Amendment A02 increased the amount of the Agreement by $71,156, and Amendment A03 increases the amount of the Agreement by $71,156, for a new total contract amount of $4,286,330. These funds are included in the FY 2006-07 Adopted Budget. There is no Net County Cost associated with this Amendment.
