Cass County approves amendment to Public Health Emergency Preparedness contract with Missouri DHSS; tangible property threshold raised to $5,000
Summary
The commission approved Resolution 2659 on June 17 to amend the Public Health Emergency Preparedness five-year block contract with the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, extending it into its second year and raising the tangible property threshold to $5,000; county staff said the funding supports the preparedness planner and part of an office manager’s time.
Cass County commissioners voted 2-0 on June 17 to approve Resolution 2659, an amendment to the county’s Public Health Emergency Preparedness contract with the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services.
Matt, a Cass County Health Department staff member, told the commission the county receives the FEP award annually as part of a five-year block contract and that the amendment extends coverage to the contract’s second year. “This is our FEP contract. Uh we get it every year. It's a five-year block key contract. This is amendment to extend it to the second year,” Matt said.
He also said the state made small changes to the contract, including increasing the threshold for tangible property to $5,000. “One of the items is their tangible property is going up to 5,000. Doesn't really affect us too much. We don't really buy anything with the funds from this contract. We use it to pay our preparedness planner and a small portion of our office manager as she's the backup for that position,” Matt said.
Following the staff report, the commission moved and seconded approval; the resolution passed with two votes in favor and none opposed.
The amendment, as described, adjusts administrative thresholds and continues funding that county staff said pays a preparedness planner position and part of an office manager’s time; the transcript does not specify dollar totals for the award or the contract amendment.
