Staff Summary
• The Health Department received $6,148 in additional grant funding for the period of July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, which was not previously appropriated because the grant resources were approved after the County’s adoption of the Fiscal Year 2026 budget.
• This funding is to assess, prioritize, build, and exercise the resources and functions to prevent, mitigate, and recover from key public health hazards by strengthening critical capabilities and addressing identified gaps.
• This will fund operational supplies.
