Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve Amendment 2 to Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) CTR040475, STD Control Services, between the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) and Cochise Health & Social Services, in the amount of $55,878, to revise the Price Sheet, effective January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022.
Background:
Local Health Jurisdictions are required by the Arizona Administrative Code (R9-6-1103) to conduct partner services for syphilis (i.e. contact elicitation, finding, notification and linkage to care) in addition to coordinating screening and treatment for reportable STIs (chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, chancroid). This funding is from a CDC grant, but it is intended to support several of the Arizona Administrative Code mandated activities for STD prevention and control, with a strong focus on syphilis contact elicitation, notification, and linkage to care.
Amendment 1 of this IGA was presented and approved in September 2021. The grant funds a .5 FTE STD Disease Investigator to work in conjunction with the STD Program Coordinator. Later in the year it was discovered that an amendment to the price sheet would be needed to cover the year’s Personnel and Employee Related Expenses.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Please send the original signed IGA to Alicia Thompson and PDF copies to Maria Mena, Maira Ibarra, and Rafael Melendez. Once approved, staff will submit the signed IGA Amendment to AZDHS to be fully executed. Once returned, a copy of the fully executed contract will be forwarded to the Board for their records.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
Not approving this grant amendment will put Cochise County further behind in STD investigations and any extra EREs cost will have to be absorbed by the County’s General Fund.
