BACKGROUND:
On December 4, 2018, the Board approved an agreement with One East Palo Alto (OEPA), for the term July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2020 to provide Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) Prevention services, in the amount of $202,200.
On December 10, 2019, the Chief of San Mateo County Health approved an amendment to add a cost of living adjustment in FY 2019-20, increasing the maximum amount by $3,984 to a new maximum of $206,184, with no change to the agreement term.
DISCUSSION:
OEPA provides AOD Prevention services that include community capacity building, community education and awareness, asset building strategies for youth and families, and environmental prevention efforts in the East Palo Alto region.
It is now necessary to amend this agreement for AOD Prevention services in East Palo Alto and continue to reduce access to and availability of alcohol and other drugs, extending the term through June 30, 2021 to align with the Request for Proposal cycle for these services.
The amendment and resolution have been reviewed and approved by County Counsel as to form. This agreement is coming to the Board late due to prolonged contract negotiations and is on the Continuing Resolution.
The resolution contains the County’s standard provision allowing amendment of the County’s fiscal obligations by a maximum of $25,000 (in aggregate).
It is anticipated that training evaluations will show a 25% increase in training attendees’ knowledge of AOD health impacts.
