Board approves public health contract amendment with Washington State Department of Health
Summary
The Thurston County Board approved Amendment No. 9 to the county’s consolidated contract with the Washington State Department of Health, increasing the contract by $4,102,328 for a revised maximum of $10,198,827 covering 2025–2027.
The Thurston County Board of County Commissioners voted Sept. 16 to approve Amendment No. 9 to the county’s consolidated contract with the Washington State Department of Health, increasing the contract by $4,102,328 to a revised maximum consideration of $10,198,827 for the period Jan. 1, 2025, through Dec. 31, 2027.
Dr. Jen Breyheit, Thurston County Public Health and Social Services director, presented the amendment and said it adds statements of work for foundational public health services, immunizations, perinatal hepatitis B work, resiliency and health security (public health emergency planning), and it amends statements of work for expanded laboratory capacity, injury and violence prevention (overdose data to action), and the maternal and child health block grant.
The board moved and seconded a motion to approve the amendment and to authorize the director of Public Health and Social Services or a designee to execute the amendment and future amendments that do not exceed 10 percent. The motion carried.
The amendment was presented as a funding and program update to align county public‑health services with state programs; Dr. Breyheit offered to answer questions from the board.
The amendment’s effective dates are Jan. 1, 2025, through Dec. 31, 2027. The transcript record shows the board approved the motion without a recorded roll‑call tally in the minutes beyond the meeting’s stated “Aye. Motion carries.”
