Board previews multiple IGAs and grants: jail data‑sharing, crime‑victim grant, STI surveillance and WIC services
Summary
Supervisors reviewed several consent and action items: a jail data‑sharing IGA with Arizona Complete Health, a Crime Victim Assistance grant ($96,667) with a $24,168.07 county match, an ADHS STI‑investigations IGA and a WIC/breastfeeding counselor IGA; staff also noted a $51,000 Bisbee overbilling discovered in FY2023.
County staff walked supervisors through several consent agenda items to be finalized at the regular meeting, including intergovernmental agreements and grant awards.
Jail services: staff described a data‑sharing agreement with Arizona Complete Health to allow jail medical staff access to vendor records to improve continuity of care on release; staff said this leans on prior data‑sharing work. (Agenda preview; formal approval expected on the consent agenda.)
Crime Victim Assistance: the County Attorney's Office said the annual Crime Victim Assistance Program award is $96,667; county matching funds of $24,168.07 were identified from existing budget lines rather than contingency. Staff asked for board approval to accept the grant and carry out required disbursements.
Public health: Health Department staff described a slightly amended IGA with ADHS for STI investigations (including lab‑service changes) focusing in part on congenital syphilis surveillance, and they reviewed the longstanding WIC/breastfeeding counselor IGA that provides nutrition education and food benefits to low‑income families.
Other: staff said an accounting error led to a $51,000 overcharge to Bisbee for indirect services in FY2023; the Bisbee superintendent discovered the error and the county is reviewing reimbursement options. Staff also previewed a draft resolution recognizing Howard G. Buffett Foundation philanthropic support.
All items were previewed for the upcoming regular meeting; most were scheduled on the consent agenda or as routine approvals.
