Information
Request/Subject
Intergovernmental Agreement Contract No. ADHS19-207418 with the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) to continue funding for nutrition services an additional year with four additional years to extend service from October 1, 2018, to September 30, 2023.
Background Information
This agreement replaced a previous Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) that was in place for many years between Gila County and ADHS whereby ADHS provided the Gila County Health Department funding for its various nutrition programs that include the Women, Infant and Child (WIC) Program, Breastfeeding Peer Counseling (BFPC) Program, and Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP).  The Procurement Manager verified the wording "and oned services" is a misprint on all County IGAs and will be corrected with an Amendment.
Evaluation
In this extended agreement, ADHS will continue to provide the following funding amounts to the Gila County Health Department: 1) Women Infant and Children Program (WIC) - $277,125, 2) Breast Feeding Peer Counseling Services (BFPC) - $40,500, and, 3) Farmer's Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) - at $1.25 per WIC participant on an as-needed basis.  This funding will allow the Gila County Health Department to continue providing nutrition services to qualified families.
Conclusion
This funding will allow the Gila County Health Department to continue providing nutrition services to qualified families.
Recommendation
It is the recommendation of the Health and Emergency Management Department Director that the Board of Supervisors approve Intergovernmental Agreement Contract No. ADHS19-207418 with ADHS in the total amount of $317,625 annually to extend nutrition services in Gila County from October 1, 2018, through September 30, 2023.
Suggested Motion
Approval of an Intergovernmental Agreement (Contract No. ADHS19-207418) between the Gila County Health and Emergency Management Department and the Arizona Department of Health Services to extend the term of the agreement for the period of October 1, 2018, through September 30, 2023, for the continued provision of various nutritional services programs provided by Gila County.
