Description/Agenda

The State of Utah DHHS and Local Public Health Governance Committee Meeting Approve Minutes: October 20th, 2025 Grant Title Executive Committee Review Description Rules Review/Discussion: Rule # Rule Name Topic R392-105 Agritourism Food Establishment Sanitation At the November 4th, 2025, Environmental Health Executive Committee Meeting, the body unanimously voted to recommend approval for the five-year review of Rule R392-105, Agritourism Food Establishment Sanitation. Governance does not need to take any further action on this rule due to no proposed content changes. R380-50 LHD Funding Formula Language modifications to the rule continued. Other Agenda Items: Other Agenda Topic Discussion Includes Notes Wise Woman Workgroup Updates from IPHS (Informational) workgroup/funding update: The Be Wise workgroup presented recommendations for allocation of funds to DHHS, and local health departments as requested. A motion was made to approve the proposed allocation as proposed by Dorothy Adams, second was made by Jonelle Fitzgerald, and the motion unanimously passed. The workgroup will pause and will reconvene after LHDs have an opportunity to review actual costs; the workgroup then loans to continue discussing the best options for the next competitive grant application. Immunization Outbreak Response Funding Updates from IPHS (Informational) potential shift in funding use: At the federal level, Health and Human Services has asked that DHHS look at potential funds in the immunizations outbreak response funding application to determine if funds could be redistributed in support of the measles outbreak response. Jeff Eason came to discuss this and IPHS Exec expressed support for pursuit of this funding, with a goal of $130,000 being distributed to LHDs. This proposal, if funding is available and sufficient, will fill the gap from the ELC reduction in VPD funds and will support measles response. While different from pandemic influenza, this represents a key opportunity to support response to the current issue. IPHS Exec expects to remain engaged in guiding decisions as we learn more about the award amount and needs for the funds across the system at the state and local level. Exempt Grants (These grants have been labeled as exempt during the past two weeks): Grant Name Application Due Description State Primary Care Offices (PCO) Grant 12/19/2025 Anna West presented the State Primary Care Offices (PCO) grant.
