DISCUSSION
City Council approval is requested to amend the existing agreement (No. 35592) with the CDPH STD Control Branch, to accept and expend additional grant funding of up to $66,985.
On February 4, 2020, the City Council approved an agreement with the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) Control Branch, which awarded the City of Long Beach (City) $848,025 in assistance funds for STD prevention and control activities.
Per that agreement, 50 percent of the award was to be provided to a community-based organization (CBO) to provide STD investigations, partner notifications, and linkage to care.
The Health and Human Services Department (Health Department) provides support activities for those who are infected with an STD, including monitoring, prevention, case investigation, and linkage to care. This partnership between the Health Department and the selected CBO assures testing, treatment, and disease transmission is mitigated for those who are at the highest risk of contracting a STD.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Taylor M. Anderson on April 1, 2022 and by Budget Analysis Officer Greg Sorensen on April 6, 2022.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action is requested on May 3, 2022, to execute the amended agreement with the CDPH in a timely matter.
