Information

Request/Subject

Amendment No. 1 to an Intergovernmental Agreement (Contract No. ADHS14-053062) with Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS).

Background Information

On October 1, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved an Intergovernmental Agreement (Contract No. ADHS14-053062) with ADHS. This Intergovernmental Agreement replaced a previous Intergovernmental Agreement that was in place for many years between Gila County and ADHS whereby ADHS provided Gila County with funding for its various nutrition education programs that include the Women, Infant and Child (WIC) Program, Breastfeeding Peer Counseling (BFPC) Program, and Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP).

Evaluation

A new price sheet has been established for the period October 1, 2014, through September 30, 2015, as follows: WIC services in the amount of $277,125.00, and BFPC services in the amount of $40,500. FMNP services are also included at $1.25 per WIC participant on as as-needed basis. This funding will allow Gila County to continue to provide nutrition education services to qualified families.

Conclusion

Without this funding, Gila County would be unable to provide nutrition education services to qualified families.

Recommendation

It is the recommendation of the Director of Health and Emergency Services that the Board of Supervisors approve Amendment No. 1 to Contract No. ADHS14-053062 with ADHS in the total amount of $317,625.00 to provide continued nutrition education program services for the period of October 1, 2014, through September 30, 2018. The Price Sheet is subject to change after September 30, 2015.

Suggested Motion

Approval of Amendment No. 1 to an Intergovernmental Agreement (Contract No. ADHS14-053062) between the Health and Emergency Services Division and the Arizona Department of Health Services in the amount of $317,625.00 to allow for the continued provision of nutrition education program services to qualified clients for the period of October 1, 2014, through September 30, 2018.
