Request/Subject

Amendment No. 2 to an Intergovernmental Agreement (Contract No. HG060003) with Arizona Department of Health Services.

Background Information

The Gila County Office of Health has been providing tobacco education and prevention for the past fifteen years. The vision statement is for Gila County youth to be tobacco-free while protecting non-smokers (including children and adults) from environmental tobacco access to state-of-the-art cessation services.

Evaluation

The funding will allow the Gila County Office of Health the ability to continue to provide the Tobacco-Free Environments Program. The program will use the following strategies; prevent initiation of tobacco use among youth, eliminate exposure to secondhand smoke and promote cessation among youth and adults to help smokers quit.

Conclusion

Without this funding Gila County would be unable to provide tobacco-free education and support to Gila County residents.

Recommendation

It is the recommendation of the Director of Health and Emergency Services that the Board of Supervisors approve Amendment No. 2 to an Intergovernmental Agreement (Contract No. HG060003) with the Arizona Department of Health Services in the amount of $135,000 to extend tobacco-free services from July 1, 2011, through June 30, 2012.

Suggested Motion

Approval of Amendment No. 2 to an Intergovernmental Agreement (Contract No. HG060003) between the Arizona Department of Health Services and the Gila County Division of Health and Emergency Services in the amount of $135,000 to extend the Tobacco-Free Environments Program from July 1, 2011, through June 30, 2012.
