Board directs short-term $200,000 bridge to Support for Recovery to avoid fiscal cliff

Supervisor Candace Anderson proposed targeted bridge funding to prevent Support for Recovery from "hitting a fiscal cliff" when existing grant windows close. Anderson asked the Board to direct County Health to amend an existing Measure X contract and issue a purchase order for $200,000 rather than launching a new RFP process: "What I am proposing is that we move forward and we provide direction to help to allocate, dollars 200,000, rather than doing an RFP process," she said.
