Committee forwards Port security grant and a DPH state contract amendment to the full Board
Summary
Committee members moved forward consent items: acceptance of a roughly $1.3 million DHS port security grant (about $900k for portwide systems and $400k for Pier 80) and a retroactive Department of Public Health contract amendment (~$69 million) that shifts authority to the Department of Health Care Services.
The Budget & Finance Committee moved two primarily noncontroversial items forward to the full Board.
Port staff presented Item 2, a resolution to accept and expend approximately $1.3 million in 2011 Port Security Grant Program funds from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The Port representative (identified as Megan) said roughly $900,000 will be used to improve port-wide security systems including CCTV, access control and intrusion detection systems, and $400,000 will be used at Pier 80, the port's cargo terminal. With no questions and no public comment, the committee forwarded the item to the Board on a motion without opposition.
Item 3, a retroactive authorization for the Department of Public Health to enter into an amended combined net negotiated amount and drug medical agreement with the State Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs (migrating to the Department of Health Care Services), covering July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2014 for approximately $69 million, was similarly moved forward following Jim Stilwell's presentation describing the programmatic context and state-level realignment changes.
Both items will appear on the Board of Supervisors agenda for formal action.
