Agenda Item Text:
Approve the new IGA# HG150048, County Nutrition Services, between the Arizona Dept of Health Services (ADHS) and the Cochise County Health Department, in the amount of $187,500, for the period of 10/1/2010 to 9/30/2011.
Background:
Between 1974 and 2008 the ADHS funded Community Nutrition Programs at the county-level via local health departments to provide nutritional information to school-aged children in county schools. The Cochise County Health Department was a grantee during this period. In 2008, due to state budget difficulties, this program was discontinued.
This new grant opportunity is re-start these services, with a renewed focus on nutrition, physical activity, and obesity prevention, using funds from the WIC program as "seed money" to allow the county health departments to re-initiate services and to facilitate their application for federal funds to continue the work under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program/Nutrition Education program (SNAP-Ed) (formerly known as the Food Stamp program).
As before, the focus of program services will be to conduct nutrition education services county-wide in pre-schools and schools in which 50% or more of the students qualify for free or reduced-price school breakfast or lunch.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Your approvals are respectfully requested. The Health Department will begin implementation of this program as laid out in the Scope of Work if approved by the Board of Supervisors.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
Childhood obesity, lack of physical activity, and poor nutritional knowledge (children and parents) is a growing problem nationwide and in Cochise County. This program allows us the opportunity to intervene at an early age, when habits are being developed, and allows us the opportunity to apply for continued funding from the federal government to continue the program sustainably into the future.
Not approving this agreement would result in the Health Department's inability to re-instate its suspended community nutrition activities and would be a missed opportunity to leverage state and federal funding to continue these services in Cochise County.
