BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
This revenue agreement is made possible through a state grant award issued by the California Government Operations Agency (“GovOps”) pursuant to paragraph 2 of Governor Gavin Newsom’s Proclamation of a State of Emergency dated March 4, 2020, which is also consistent with Public Contract Code sections 1102 and 10340(b)(1). The overall goal of this agreement is to accelerate COVID-19 vaccinations to the most vulnerable, high-risk populations in Napa County. Funding is intended for grassroots outreach related to COVID-19 vaccines in addition to supporting COVID-19 vaccination appointments across the County of Napa, with a special focus on those population groups most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a disproportionate impact amongst California’s diverse population groups. The goal of this agreement is to accelerate COVID-19 vaccinations to the most vulnerable, high-risk populations in Napa County.
