Body

 

BACKGROUND:

Every three years HARC conducts a phone survey of Coachella Valley residents to gather information about their health and well-being.  HARC then analyzes the data and presents the information in a final report that is used widely to understand our community and our most critical needs.

 

DISCUSSION:

Dr. Jenna LeComte-Hinely, Chief Executive Office of HARC provided a detailed presentation about HARC's mission and activities to the City Council at the May 23rd Council meeting asking Council for a $10,000 contribution towards the upcoming health assessment survey. Council directed staff to come back with a recommendation that would help support this project.

 

FISCAL IMPACT:

$5,000 to the City's General Fund, which would be a budget amendment to account #100-171-8658
