Request/Subject

Ratification of the CDC-RFA-TP-1802 Cooperative Agreement for Emergency Response: Public Health Crisis Response Gila County Division of Health and Emergency Services

Background Information

The Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) sent an email to all County Health Officers on July 24, 2018, requesting proposals for one-time funding to help address the opioid crisis in each county. The proposals were due on July 26, 2018, to be included in the State application for the Center for Disease Control Emergency response to the public health opioid crisis. With such a quick turnaround, Michael O'Driscoll, Health and Emergency Management Division Director, was given permission by Gila County Manager James Menlove to submit the application and then place this agenda item on the Board of Supervisors' meeting agenda for ratification of the Board's approval.

Evaluation

The Gila County Health Department proposal was submitted to ADHS on Thursday, July 26, 2018.

Conclusion

The Gila County Public Health Department currently has a grant to address some of the issues surrounding opioid use and misuse and this additional funding will allow for a dedicated amount to focus on marketing efforts. The Gila County proposal needs to be presented to the Board of Supervisors for ratification of the approval for the submittal of the application.

Recommendation

It is the recommendation of the Health and Emergency Management Division Director that the Board of Supervisors ratify its approval for the Health and Emergency Management Division to apply for CDC cooperative agreement for emergency response to the public health opioid crisis with ADHS in the amount of $75,000 for the period of September 1, 2018, through August 31, 2019.

Suggested Motion

Ratification of the Board of Supervisors' approval for the Health and Emergency Management Division to submit an application to the Arizona Department of Health Services for CDC-RFA-TP-1802 Cooperative Agreement for Emergency Response: Public Health Crisis Response funds in the amount of $75,000 to provide emergency response to the public with regard to the health opioid crisis for the period September 1, 2018, through August 31, 2019.
