Multnomah County’s public health department sought and received board approval to accept a CDC grant rollover and associated budget modification to continue culturally specific nutrition programming.

Budget director Trista Zugel noted key increases such as a $148,800 pass‑through for contracted work and said the division expects to fully spend the funds by the grant end date. Commissioner Singleton asked about spend‑down confidence and requested a final report and recommendations on broader food‑security strategy; staff said they are on track and would coordinate follow‑up.
