The purpose of this resolution is to Authorize Chair of the Board to Sign Master Agreement with Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment.
end
Background and Discussion: As discussed during the July 27, 2022, Board of Health meeting, Arapahoe County Public Health will enter into various agreements with the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE) regarding shared state and federal funding for such services. As each local health department uses different program funding based on their community needs, the state will craft future agreements - known as Task Orders - that outline specific requirements.
To avoid repeating standard terms and conditions in numerous contracts, the CDPHE has established a Master Task Order Contract for Local Public Health Agencies, which provides overarching guidance on items such as when task orders start and stop, how each will be organized, generally how payments and reporting (if any) will generally be handled, what to do if there is a dispute, etc. All public health agencies are required to approve this agreement to receive state and federal funding from the State.
The attached resolution authorizes the Board to sign the agreement on behalf of the Department, setting forth the general terms and conditions between the Arapahoe County Public Health Department and the State for future Task Orders that will apply to more specific functions and respective responsibilities.
Fiscal Impact: N/A
Alternatives: N/A
Staff Recommendation: Adopt as presented.
Suggested Motion: I move to approve Resolution 22-001 authorizing the chair to sign the master agreement with the state.
