02/ 14/2023
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation that the Board consider reimbursing the COVID-19 Extra Mile Migrant
Farmworker Community Grant, Project (33772) and direct staff to find an alternative funding
source. (This is a companion item to 11A)
OBJECTIVE: To have the Board reimburse all funds associated with the COVID-19 Extra Mile
Farmworker grant, HHS Grant Number 1 NLJ58DP007038-01-00 awarded to Collier County on August
23, 2021, and direct staff to find alternative funding for this program.
CONSIDERATIONS: On June 8, 2021, (Agenda Item #16D12) the Board approved an "After -the -Fact"
submittal of a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Community Health Workers for
COVID-19 Response for Resilient Communities (CCR) Grant application which sought total funding
over a 3-year period of $1,446,255. On September 28, 2021, (Agenda Item #16D9) the Board
unanimously approved Year 1 funding to the program of $421,744 consistent with an HHS Grant Award
in that amount dated August 23, 2021.
On December 14, 2021 (Agenda Item # 16D 18), the Board executed a subrecipient agreement with Collier
Health Services, Inc. (CHSI), to implement the CDC CCR program. Under this agreement, CHSI has
hired and trained a team of six (6) Community Health Workers to deliver health related services and serve
as resource navigators within medically underserved communities of Collier County.
On May 10, 2022 (Agenda Item #16D5), the Board approved the "After -the -Fact" submittal of a grant
application for Year 2 of the CDC for the Community Health Workers for CCR Grant in the amount of
$421,744.
Commissioner Hall is asking the Board to allow Karen Kingston an opportunity to speak and give a
presentation on why Collier County should not participate in this CDC funded grant.
FISCAL IMPACT: Grant revenues in the amount of $843,488 were budgeted within Community &
Human Services Grant Fund (705) Project 33772. Expenditures incurred to date total $166,991.91, plus
pending subrecipient expenses currently in process. Reimbursement of the grant would require an
alternate funding source for the aforementioned incurred and pending expenses.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management impact associated with this
item.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, raises no legal
issues and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK
RECOMMENDATIONS: To consider a recommendation to reimburse the COVID-19 Extra Mile
Migrant Farmworker Community Grant, Project (33772) and direct staff to find alternative funding.
