Agenda Item Text:

Approve  IGA #HG050274 Amendment 1, WIC Services, Breastfeeding Peer Counseling (BFPC), Farmer’s Market Nutrition Program (FMNP), between the Arizona Department of Health Services and the Cochise County Health Department in the amount of $787.50, for the period of 10/1/10 – 9/30/11.

Background:

The WIC Program is a supplemental nutrition program for income-eligible women, infants, and children. The Program provides clients with nutrition education and referrals to social services within the County. The Program also provides food vouchers to clients for a variety of staple foods, including: juice, milk, eggs, peanut butter, and beans.

The Farmers Market Nutrition Program is intended to increase consumption of locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables by providing FMNP checks to a limited number of WIC women and children to purchase these items directly from growers at ADHS-approved farmers’ market.

Amendment 1 provides $787.50 of funding to issue FMNP checks to 630 WIC participants. Due to funding, FMNP Services Price Sheet shall be changed from a cost reimbursement configuration to fixed price. The price sheet change removes all cost reimbursement categories and is replaced with a unit rate for each FMNP check issued, for the assigned number of participants.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):

Your approvals are respectfully requested.

Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:

Not approving Amendment 1 will result in the return of $787.50 to ADHS. WIC Program participants will not be able to receive vouchers for locally-grown produce from Farmer’s Markets around Cochise County.

To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:

A fully executed original will be sent to the Clerk of the Board for filing purposes.
