Substitute resolution relative to acceptance of the Public Health Crisis Response grant from the Centers for Disease Control.
Analysis

This resolution creates an annual grant account for this funding, should it be needed. It also sets aside $50,000 for the Health Department to begin immediate emergency response spending if needed once the Notice of Award is received, at which point an amended grant budget and resolution will be submitted.
