Agenda Item
Resolution - Public Health Services:
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute Contract No. HHS00102760001, under the Regional Local Services System/Local Public Health Services Grant Program, and any associated documents, by and between the City of Lubbock and the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), to improve and strengthen local public health infrastructure.
Item Summary
This contract provides funding under the Regional and Local Services Section (RLSS) / Local Public Health System (LPHS). The FY2022/2023 contract with the Department of State Health Services provides financial assistance to improve or strengthen local public health infrastructure by developing objectives to address public health issues and utilize resources provided through this contract, in order to conduct activities and services that provide or support the delivery of essential public health services. Programs will also assess, monitor, and evaluate the essential public health services, and develop strategies to improve the delivery of essential public health services to identified service areas.
Grant objectives include conducting case investigations, education/treatment for notifiable (reportable) conditions, and oversight of the immunization contract delivery. The grant is used to fund a significant portion of the salary and benefits for the Director of Public Health.
This program fulfills the Core Missions of Public Health, which are Surveillance, Disease Prevention and Public Health Preparedness. Without the funding from the Texas Department of Health contract, our local public health efforts would be greatly impaired. Staff recommends approval of the resolution.
The Statement of Work is available for review in the Office of the City Secretary.
Fiscal Impact
The total amount approved for the 2-year contract is $175,290.
