County approves $81,656 in SB 37 tobacco-prevention contracts with local partners
Summary
San Juan Public Health presented SB 37-funded contracts totaling $81,656 that will be passed through to local grantees. The commission approved continuation awards and new partnerships, and staff listed per-grantee allocations.
The commission approved a set of five community contracts funded by the state SB 37 tobacco-prevention allocation totaling $81,656.
Public-health staff said the county retains none of the funds; instead the amount is distributed to grantees. Continuation awards go to Albert R. Lyman, DrugSafe Utah, Hojangoeina 365 and USU Extension (USU Extension is a no-cost extension). The staff presentation listed per-grantee amounts: $15,000 each for Albert R. Lyman, DrugSafe Utah and Hojangoeina 365; $8,000 for USU Extension; and $28,656 for 5 Rangers Phoenix (a new partner under consideration). Staff said all grantees must propose evidence-based curricula and demonstrate outcomes.
Commissioners asked about geographic coverage (staff confirmed programs operate throughout the county, including Blanding, Monticello and La Sal) and procurement requirements for any new partners. The commission approved the resolution adopting the contracts and directed staff to manage procurement steps for organizations that must compete for awards.
