Care Agency, which is a pass- through grant from the California Department of Public

to prepare the City for public health emergencies.

DISCUSSION:
In January of 2011, the City signed a Planning Services Agreement with the Orange
County Health Care Agency (OCHCA) to plan and prepare for public health
emergencies. Over the past year, we have written Point of Dispensing Plans (POD) for
three sites in Newport Beach which include Oasis Senior Center, Saint Andrews

Church, and Newport Harbor Lutheran Church. These detailed POD plans can be
activated to provide medication and medical supplies to first responders and to the
public. It is estimated that each POD site could provide initial prophylaxis to 40,000
people in the first 48 hours of exposure during a public health emergency such as an
anthrax attack or a pandemic outbreak.
The core function of a POD site is to provide vaccines and medications to a large
number of persons during the onset of a public health emergency. The key to survival
for most people is to provide antibiotics /vaccines before an individual shows any clinical
symptoms. The POD plans describe the process of dispensing medications to a large
number of people for prophylaxis of asymptomatic individuals as well as treatment of
symptomatic persons. The plan also includes detailed site layouts, identifies city staff
positions and assignments, and discusses the interaction between the City, the Orange
County Health Care Agency, and the U.S Department of Health and Human Services.
In exchange for writing the plans, the OCHCA provided pass- through grant funding to
the City to purchase supplies and equipment for the POD sites.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA ") pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will
not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the
environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378)
of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it
has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or
indirectly.
