The proposed resolution amends the Public Health operating budget to increase staff due to the COVID-19 health emergency and adds funding to assist persons who are required to quarantine due to a positive COVID-19 test. The cost of adding the eight positions, including benefits is approximately $450,000 in 2020. The funding requested to assist with persons who are required to quarantine due to a positive COVID-19 test is $250,000.

The resolution appropriates $250,000 for 2,140 Visa gift cards (and associated fees), cleaning and personal needs supplies donated to existing pantries, and food donated to existing pantries.

In 2020, the cost of these positions and the discretionary funds will be funded from County COVID Relief fFunding.

In 2021, and beyond, the cost of the positions will be absorbed into the City and County operating budgets.

The $250,000 in discretionary funds are a one-time appropriation based on the availability of CARES act funding.
