Body
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This action supports the following areas of your Board's Strategic Plan.
Area of Focus: Safe & Healthy Communities
Strategic Plan Category: 3002 - Invest in county facilities
DISCUSSION:
The Department of Health and Human Services - Public Health Laboratory at 529 I Street needs to replace two ultra-low temperature freezers that are beginning to fail. The estimated cost to replace the two freezers is approximately $30,000. The two ultra-low freezers are used for the storage of diagnostic testing reagents and specimens used in testing.
During fiscal year (FY) 2023-24 the Public Health Emergency Preparedness grant experienced salary savings due to vacancies. A Request for Budget Transfer is required to establish funds in the fixed asset line for the replacement equipment. Because the cost is greater than $10,000 the Board must approve before funds can be transferred.
