MEMORANDUM
TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
FROM: Denise Pomeroy, Health Services Director
DATE: August 15, 2017
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution Approving the Lake County Health Services Department to Submit Acceptance Paperwork
and a Certification Clause from the California Department
of Public Health (CDPH) Tuberculosis Control Branch (TBCB) for
Real-Time Allotment Funding for Tuberculosis (TB) Cases in Lake
County in the Amount of $3,937 for FY 2017-2018 and Authorizing the
Board Chair to Sign Said Certification Clause
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Health Services Department, Public Health Division has been given the opportunity to accept Real-Time Allotment of funds from the CDPH TB Control Branch to support Lake County citizens that have TB in the amount of $3,937.
Typically, local TB functions are not State funded in counties with few cases of active tuberculosis. In an effort to help TB clients that may be in need of personal support such as food, shelter or transportation, this award is comprised of $1,834 State and $2,103 Federal funds and is based on the number of TB cases and case characteristics reported by our jurisdiction between January 1 and May 31, 2017 as well as the number of completed B1-notification evaluations reported between December 1, 2016 and May 31, 2017. This type of incentive enables the client to complete a medication regimen and, in turn, safeguards the health of all Lake County citizens.
If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact either myself or Karen Tait, Health Officer, at 263-1090.
