The Marion County Board of Commissioners on Wednesday approved an expanded contract with the state for operating public health services.
The services covered under the contract include communicable disease prevention and education as well as public health emergency preparedness.
Commissioners unanimously approved adding about $1.97 million of state money to its agreement with the Oregon Health Authority.
The new contract totals about $6.96 million and spans through June 2025.
The board also unanimously approved adding $53,000 to a subscription agreement with Governmentjobs.com, Inc. for new software used to create an employee record.
That brings the new contract total to $133,000.
The software is intended for Marion County’s Human Resources Department to more quickly and securely transfer personal data of employees.
The program would reduce labor time, costs and paper records, according to the agenda item.
