| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
The California Department of Public Health Emergency Preparedness Office receives federal funding for Public Health Emergency Preparedness, the Cities Readiness Initiative, and the Hospital Preparedness Program. These funds are allocated out to various counties and agencies throughout the State of California. These monies are received by counties and agencies via invoice driven grants, meaning counties and agencies must spend the funds before they can be reimbursed with their grant allocation. Due to the nature of the grant, the federal government often allows any unspent allocation to be carried over into the next fiscal year. Counties and agencies often do not find out about carry over funds until after the new fiscal year budget has been adopted and approved. These carry over funds are added to the current fiscal year allocation and must be used before December 31st.
In fiscal year 2017-18 the State allocated Emergency Preparedness federal funding to provide Public Health Emergency Preparedness activities throughout Yolo County. A portion of these funds were unspent by the end of the fiscal year and Yolo County was authorized to carry these funds forward into the new fiscal year, to be spent by December 30, 2018. Emergency Preparedness staff plans to use these funds for the purchase of a Monopad (interactive large touchscreen) to be utilized in the Department Operations Center (DOC) during emergency activation and/or training exercises, as well as an electric pallet lift to support warehouse operations. |

Explanation (Expenditure and/or Revenue) |
| Further explanation as needed: |
| This agenda item does not impact the General Fund. The funding for this action has been received from the State through a carryover from fiscal year 2017-18, and must be used by December 31, 2018. Funding for this new allocation amount was not included in the fiscal year 2018-19 Adopted Budget as staff had not received the carryover allocation amount at that time. |
