Pinal County accepts $509,137 emergency preparedness contract from state

The Pinal County Public Health Services District Board of Directors on Sept. 16 approved acceptance of Contract No. CTR081712 with the Arizona Department of Health Services for $509,137 under the Public Health Emergency Preparedness Program and Cities Readiness Initiative. Staff identified a required 10% local match to come from Public Health Services District Fund 257 and said the award will fund actions to meet or exceed requirements of the CDC's Operational Readiness Review.

Board materials indicate acceptance will require an amendment to align the FY 26/27 budget with the award amount and a transfer of appropriation from Fund 257 (Public Health District) to Fund 82 (Health/Grants). The board approved the contract on the consent agenda; the item was presented by staff members Kore Redden and Merissa Mendoza. The board noted there is no impact on the county General Fund.
