Memorandum
Date: January 14, 2020
To: The Honorable Moke Simon, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Denise Pomeroy, Health Services Director
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 $9,513 for FY2019-2020 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 $9,513.
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 $4,257 State and $5,256 Federal funds and is based on the number of TB cases and case characteristics reported by our jurisdiction between June 1 and October 31, 2019 as well as the number of completed B1-notification evaluations reported between November 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019. 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 Dr. Gary Pace, Health Officer, at 263-1090.
