Riverside County Public Health has notified RAP of an opportunity to continue the Tobacco Retail and Coalition Engagement for Two Years – $20\,000 annually (Attach.# 7 and Attach. #8). This would require RAP hiring a person to perform the duties.  However\, the funding will only allow for a limited number of hours.  Therefore\, the County has identified another funding opportunity\, the Nutrition and Health Promotion grant for $110\,000 annually to possibly be extended for multi-years. If approved\, the CEO would proceed with working with the County to formulate the Agreements.  The target date to start this partnership would be April or May. \nExecutive Committee Recommendation: For the Board to move forward in pursuing the two grant opportunities and partnering with the County to encourage healthy living to residents in the Fourth Supervisorial District. \n\n\n\nMotion:\nSecond:\n# Approve:\n#Denial:\nAbstention Names:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n C.
