Body
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Library Department has been awarded $19,950 in funding from the County of San Mateo to support COVID-19 outreach in South San Francisco from December 2021 through June 2022. This funding is in addition to the $19,950 grant accepted by City Council at the October 28, 2020 City Council meeting, the $10,000 accepted by City Council at the January 13, 2021 City Council meeting, and the $19,950 accepted by City Council at the June 9, 2021 meeting. Funds will be used to continue providing accurate information about the prevention of COVID-19 and the importance and availability of vaccinations in a variety of languages, including Chinese, English, Spanish and Tagalog, with special emphasis on promoting booster shots, reaching the families of the 5-11 year old children now eligible for the vaccine, and providing accurate information on emerging variants and other developments. Library staff will conduct outreach in a variety of formats, including online, by phone, and in-person. Partnering with the Promotores team and utilizing information provided by the County, in-person outreach will once again focus on under-vaccinated neighborhoods in South San Francisco.
FISCAL IMPACT
Grant funds will be used to amend the Library Department's FY 2021-2022 Operating Budget per Budget Amendment 22.033. Receipt of these funds does not commit the City to ongoing funding.
