1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 

On March 11, 2021, the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) was signed into law by President Biden to address 

the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy, public health, state and local governments, individuals, 

and businesses. The legislation established $350 billion in Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF)

specifically for state, local, territorial, and tribal governments to use in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, addressing 

its economic fallout, and laying the foundation for a strong and equitable recovery. Tulare County’s share of the SLFRF is 

$90,552,914. These funds are intended to cover eligible costs incurred from March 3, 2021, through December 31, 2024. 

In accordance with the Interim Final Rule and the Compliance and Reporting Guidance adopted by the U.S. Department 

of the Treasury, the County prepared the following Interim Recovery Plan, which outlines the County’s intended use of 

ARPA funds and reports on actual expenditures during the first reporting period starting from the date of award through

July 31, 2021. The County will publish and submit this Plan to the U.S. Department of the Treasury by August 31, 2021.

Over the next three years, Tulare County intends to utilize its ARPA funds to respond to the public health emergency, 

address negative economic impacts, support essential workers, and make strategic investments in water, sewer, or 

broadband infrastructure to support an equitable recovery from the pandemic. The total budgeted funds for each eligible 

expenditure category are listed in the table below. Amounts may be subject to modifications based on community needs, 

operational needs, and as determined by the Board of Supervisors:

During the initial reporting period ending July 31, 2021, the County utilized $1,234,378 in ARPA funds to provide premium 

pay to essential county employees and to cover incurred expenses by Health and Human Service Agency (HHSA)

responding to the public health emergency. 

KEY OUTCOMES

Tulare County is considered an economically distressed region of the country. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, its rates 

of unemployment, and poverty were consistently higher than the statewide and national averages, median household 

income was low, and nearly half of residents received some form of public assistance. The COVID-19 pandemic and the 

necessary actions taken to control the spread have worsened the already distressed situation for many of the County’s

August 31, 2021

Page 3 of 8

most vulnerable populations. At the height of the emergency, farmworkers were testing positive at a rate of seven to one

compared to the overall population, unemployment rates spiked to 13.2%, and the increased demand for public assistance 

placed an added strain on County pandemic-response resources. In response to the disproportionate toll the COVID-19 

pandemic has taken on this region, the County intends to use its SLFRF allocation to fund projects and programs that

mitigate the spread of COVID-19 within the County, assist the economic recovery of local businesses and industries that 

have lacked other sources of support through the pandemic, and build resilience in disadvantaged and underserved 

communities through housing support and infrastructure improvements.

2. USE OF FUNDS 

Thissection outlines the guiding principles utilized by Tulare County to strategically allocate ARPA funds and further details 

the intended use of funds over the next three years.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

In addition to facilitating the County’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and addressing its negative impacts on 

residents, ARPA funds provide a unique opportunity for the County to complete projects and programs that will have a 

transformative and lasting impact on county services and the community. In this spirit, the County established the 

following principles to guide the allocation and use of ARPA funds. 

• Be Transformational. Pursue projects or programs that solve an ongoing problem and make a long-term and 

sustainable difference in the community. 

• One-Time Uses. Consistent with the County’s budget protocols, allocate one-time ARPA dollars to projects or 

programs with a defined funding period that do not create an ongoing fiscal obligation for the County.

• Health & Safety. Support the public health and safety response to COVID-19, which includes addressing the 

pandemic's ongoing health and safety impacts and building resiliency to better prepare the County for future 

disasters.

• Equitable Outcomes. Prioritize projects or programs that aim to increase equitable recovery and future resilience 

for disadvantaged or unincorporated communities.

• Data-Driven. Prioritize evidence-based projects or programs or contain the necessary data to demonstrate how 

they will address the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic or assist in recovery. 

• Shovel-Ready. Prioritize shovel-ready infrastructure projects that can be completed within the defined funding 

period. 

• Close Funding Gaps. Prioritize funding for industries that experienced negative economic impacts due to the 

pandemic but did not receive other sources of funding or relief. 

• Avoid Duplication. Ensure funded projects or programs do not duplicate services approved or administered by 

the state or federal government, including duplication of efforts of cities.

DETAIL BY FUNDING CATEGORY

The following further details the intended use of SLFRF funds by expenditure category. Funding will be used to respond to 

the COVID-19 emergency; address the negative economic impacts caused by the public health emergency; provide 

services to underserved populations and communities disproportionately impacted by COVID-19; provide premium pay 

to county essential workers; and improve County and community infrastructure to respond effectively and efficiently to 

the current and future public health emergencies.

The County’s proposed projects and programs included in this plan are subject to change based on guidance and 

clarification from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and changes in resource demands associated with the pandemic.

Throughout the ARPA funding cycle, the County intends to prioritize COVID-19 testing, vaccination, and other emergency 

response activities. Should these activities require additional funds to address County needs, ARPA funding will be 

redirected away from other proposed projects and toward these specific public health activities. Major modifications, 

such as, adding new projects or programs, removing projects and programs, or any change in dollar amount allocations 

greater than +/- 5% per ARPA Expenditure Category will be brought back to the Board of Supervisors for direction and 

approval. 

PUBLIC HEALTH

• COVID -19 Vaccination - Vaccination programs for residents of Tulare County are intended to mitigate the health 

impacts and reduce the number of deaths caused by COVID-19. In addition to administering currently available 

vaccines, the County anticipates using ARPA funds to organize and administer a vaccine booster in future years. 

• COVID-19 Testing – Provide an employee and countywide testing program to serve the communities of Tulare 

County for mitigation and prevention of the COVID-19 virus.

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) – The County anticipates a sustained demand for PPE among staff and 

outside medical agencies as organizational policies change to require the use of PPE in daily operations. PPE 

protects staff and mitigates the spread of the COVID-19 virus among county employees as they perform their 

essential functions of serving the public and maintaining county operations. Demand for PPE may increase should 

the County experience another surge in COVID-19 cases during the recovery plan period. Therefore, ARPA funding 

has been set aside to address this potential cost. 

• Capital Investments or Physical Plant Changes to Public Facilities – These capital projects would improve the 

County’s response to the COVID-19 public health emergency. The HVAC projects would assist in mitigating the 

spread of the COVID-19 virus in county buildings by improving ventilation in congregate settings. Radio Tower 

projects would allow better medical and public safety responses to Tulare County communities, including 

disadvantaged and isolated communities in the mountainous areas. 

• Other COVID-19 Public Health Expenses (including Communication, Enforcement, Isolation/Quarantine) – The 

County will provide communication messaging and outreach to residents and communities within Tulare County

regarding COVID-19 vaccinations and testing; provide facilities for quarantining the homeless and jail inmate

populations with COVID-19; improve teleworking and video conferencing to allow for social distancing while 

maintaining the continuity of essential County operations; and enhance outdoor and green space areas for 

residents and communities to remain active and socially distanced during this public health emergency.

Page 5 of 8

• Payroll Costs for Public Health, Safety, and Other Public Sector Staff Responding to COVID-19 – County 

departments with staff directly or substantially dedicated to responding to or mitigating the COVID-19 public 

health emergency will use ARPA funding to cover the associated payroll costs of those employees.

• Other Public Health Services – Other COVID-19 expenditures include technology expenditures to continue County 

public health operations and provide services to the public. These technology projects would digitize records and 

allow for teleworking so that the County may continue to provide socially-distanced services to the public,

residents, and communities of Tulare County online. 

NEGATIVE ECONOMIC IMPACTS

• Small Business Economic Assistance – Assist local small business through an Environmental Health Fee waiver.

• Aid to Nonprofit Organizations – Develop programs in collaboration with local nonprofit organizations to assist 

those in Tulare County impacted by the public health emergency.

• Aid to Impacted Industries – Provide assistance to the County libraries for modification of services that mitigate

and prevent the spread of COVID-19, and aid industries impacted by the public health emergency, such as 

museums, memorial districts, and other community service districts, that have not received other sources of 

pandemic relief.

SERVICES TO DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTED COMMUNITIES

The County recognizes that individuals experiencing homelessness have been particularly hard hit during this pandemic, 

and will use SLFRF funds to develop projects that provide housing support and allow for homeless populations to safely 

quarantine during the pandemic.

PREMIUM PAY

County employees deemed essential workers and eligible under the guidelines set forth by the U.S. Department of the 

Treasury, were given $1,500 in premium pay for their continued work throughout the pandemic. County workers are 

considered disaster workers by ordinance. During the COVID-19 pandemic, county workers were deemed essential via 

emergency order to maintain the continuity of critical services that ensure the safety, health, and wellbeing of county 

residents.

INFRASTRUCTURE

• Clean Water Projects – The following projects meet a critical sewer infrastructure need for the identified 

disadvantaged and underserved communities: Ivanhoe Public Utilities District (PUD) Disposal Pond Improvements, 

Tipton Community Services District (CSD) Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements, and Earlimart PUD 

Interceptor and Relief Sewer Project.

• Drinking Water Projects – The following projects meet a critical drinking water infrastructure need for the 

identified disadvantaged and underserved communities: Tipton CSD North Burnett Road Water Line Replacement, 

Avenue 264 Water Main Extension, Pixley PUD Water Main Extension, Poplar CSD Well Replacement, Earlimart 

Front Street Well Treatment, Tipton CSD Well Number Six, Cutler PUD Well Number Ten, Strathmore PUD Well 

and Treatment, Strathmore PUD Tank Repair, Chinowth Street Apartments Fire Hydrant, Earlimart PUD Clay West 

Well Sound Wall, and Orosi PUD Well Number Five Auxiliary Power.

ADMINISTRATIVE

The County will fund direct and indirect SLFRF administrative costs for implementation of projects and programs. 

Administering and developing the County’s Recovery Plan will require the oversight of the County Administrative Office, 

Auditor’s Office, and County Cost Centers (e.g. Health and Human Services Agency, Information and Communications 

Technology Department, and the General Services Agency). Administrative funds may also be used to hire a consultant to 

take over administration, monitoring, and reporting associated with the County’s Recovery Plan. The proposed consultant 

would support effective management and oversight, ensuring compliance with legal, regulatory, statutory, and other 

requirements. 

PROJECT AND PROGRAM PHASES

Projects and programs will be completed in their assigned phase unless otherwise noted. Due to scope and complexity, 

some projects and programs may be completed over multiple phases. Other projects may be developed at a later date, 

currently noted a “To Be Determined.” The phases outlined below are projected start and completion timeframes and are 

subject to change, as determined by the County Administrative Officer, based on direction from the Board of Supervisors

and the U.S. Treasury’s Final Rule, guidance, and clarification.

Phase I: March 2021 through June 2022.

Phase II: July 2022 through June 2023.

Phase III: July 2023 through June 2024.

Phase IV: July 2024 through December 31, 2024. If funds are obligated by December 31, 2024, they may be expended by 

December 31, 2026.

3. EQUITABLE OUTCOMES 

Tulare County is composed of eight incorporated cities and numerous unincorporated communities and hamlets, including

17 qualified census tracts, designated as disadvantaged communities. According to the Distressed Communities Index,

which evaluates the economic well-being of communities across the US, the County is an economically distressed area.

i

Approximately 23.8% of the population lives at or below the poverty level, more than 30% of adults 25 and older do not 

have a high school diploma, and more than 30% of adults aged 25 to 54 are not working or not in the labor force. 

Countywide, the median household income is 79% of the national average and 66% of the state average.

ii

The projects and programs detailed in this plan were selected to help all Tulare County communities, but with special 

consideration for the disadvantaged and underserved communities who experienced a greater negative economic and 

social impact as a result of the COVID-19 public health emergency. The Plan focuses on projects and programs that may 

facilitate economic prosperity in disadvantaged communities and hasten a full recovery from the pandemic. Specific areas 

of focus include public health and safety protection, emergency medical services, reliable communication infrastructure, 

access to county services, and access to clean, safe, and sustainable water sources.

4. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT 

The SLFRF parameters provide substantial flexibility for each jurisdiction to decide how to best meet the needs of their 

local communities and allow for flexible spending up to the level of their revenue loss. The County, through public 

comments at Board of Supervisors meetings, Board of Supervisors Town Halls, Government Affairs Committee meetings 

(City Chambers of Commerce), community council meetings, Board Of Supervisors Monthly Message (County website, 

Facebook, and Twitter), county constituent contacts, and internal county meetings, has developed a recovery plan, 

following SLFRF guidelines and community input to:

a. Respond to the public health emergency or its negative economic impacts, including assistance to households, 

small businesses, and nonprofits, or aid to impacted industries such as tourism, travel, and hospitality.

b. Respond to workers performing essential work during the COVID-19 public health emergency by providing 

premium pay to eligible workers.

c. Provide government services to the extent of the reduction in revenue due to the COVID–19 public health 

emergency relative to revenues collected in the most recent full fiscal year prior to the emergency. 

d. Make necessary investments in water, sewer, or broadband infrastructure. 

As part of this plan, the County will disseminate information through its social media sites, community-based organization 

partners, Board of Supervisor meetings, Town Halls, Government Affairs Committee meetings, and community council 

meetings to ensure employees, residents, and businesses of the County are aware of the services funded through SLFRF. 

5. LABOR PRACTICES 

County labor practices will follow and comply with all local, state, and federal laws, regulations, and directives. This 

includes compliance with all laws and regulations pertaining to wages and hours, state and federal income tax, 

unemployment insurance, Social Security, disability insurance, workers' compensation insurance, and discrimination in 

employment. The County, its contractors, and subcontractors shall comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and 

in accordance with said Act, no person on the grounds of race, color, sex or national origin, shall be excluded from 

participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subject to discrimination under any service or activity in 

connection with any public works project.

With regard to public works projects, the County, its contractors, and subcontractors shall pay all workers employed on 

public works projects not less than the prevailing wage rates determined by the Director of the Department of Industrial 

Relations and shall comply with all laws and regulations relating to the employment of apprentices. Said wage rates 

pursuant to Section 1773.2 of the Labor Code are on file with the Tulare County General Services Agency, 2637 W. Burrel 

Avenue Suite 200, Visalia, California and will be made available to any interested person on request.

No contractor or subcontractor may work on county public works projects unless registered with the Department of 

Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code section 1725.5. According to Labor Code section 1776, contractors and 

subcontractors are required to keep an accurate record showing the names, occupations, and actual per diem wage of all 

laborers, workers and mechanics employed by it in connection with county public works projects.

1: Public Health $ 59,495,682

1.1 COVID-19 Vaccination ^

Project Name: HHSA support for vaccine administration by community partners HHSA $ 2,500,000 X 

Project ID #: 1001

Description: HHSA has and continues to establish agreements with healthcare partners to 

assist with COVID-19 vaccine administration. The $2.5M would be used after 

Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity (ELC) funds have been maximized. 

Additionally, there may be the need to administer booster vaccines in the 

future. This funding would allow the Agency to reimburse partners for the 

administration of approximately 45,450 vaccines ($55/dose).

Equity Measures: Vaccination strategies are informed by the California Healthy Places Index 

(HPI), which identifies which communities are most disadvantaged or at-risk. 

Tulare County has used this index to identify the zip codes that are most 

vulnerable, and vaccination events and activities in these underserved areas 

are prioritized. In addition to this strategy, Tulare County also developed a GIS 

Mapping tool to identify vaccine registered providers in the County. This tool 

extended the ability to identify where within the county/communities under the 

Q1 HPI quartiles needed providers to be registered as vaccine providers. This 

was addressing health equity by targeting the commuting distance to a 

vaccination location and decreasing transportation inequities. Accessibility is 

addressed by locating vaccine events and providers within the communities 

that may have low vaccination rates. For example, if a community falls under a 

specific percentage, like under 30% being vaccinated, this draws the attention 

to set these communities as priorities and schedule vaccine events in that 

community. The project will be able to sustain these vaccine efforts by making 

sure that these well-established locations are kept active in these communities 

for consistency access to the residents. 

Performance 

Indicators:

As noted above, this funding would provide approximately 45,450 vaccine 

doses. The County will measure the progress of the project by measuring both 

the overall County vaccination rate as well as vaccination rates by zip code. 

Weekly reports are being compiled by Tulare County Epidemiology team to 

demonstrate the percentage of vaccination among the priority communities, to 

identify where the needs are and what planning should take place to 

increase/improve the percentage.

Project Status Ongoing

^ Serving 

disadvantaged 

communities: 

Yes, 19 communities were identified to be under the 25% quartile. These are 

priority communities to be reached.

Project Name: Response Team Support HHSA $ 26,711 X 

Project ID #: 1002

Description: Due to the nature of the vaccine point of distribution (POD) events, volunteers 

and staff working at these events are not able to leave the location, or there is 

not enough time to leave and get food; therefore, food has been provided. 

Covers primarily period from March through May during period of intensive 

vaccination efforts, plus a small amount to pay for food during any potential 

surges.

Equity Measures: POD vaccination events were planned trough out Tulare County. The number of 

events increased with the demand of the vaccine. Many of the events were 

hosted in underserved communities in the County. The volunteers were key in 

making the events successful. 

Performance 

Indicators:

There were over 100 volunteers who assisted during the POD events. 

Project Status Ongoing

^ Serving 

disadvantaged 

communities: 

Staff support vaccination events in disadvantaged and underserved 

communities. 

1.2 COVID-19 Testing ^

Project Name: COVID Testing for Tulare County Employees HHSA $ 200,000 X 

Project ID #: 1003

Description: Contract with the vendor Color to make COVID-19 testing available for Tulare 

County staff members. Testing is an important measure to mitigate and contain 

the COVID-19 disease.

Equity Measures: Tulare County is establishing a testing program for its employees. Tulare 

County staff are considered essential workers, and have been assisting with 

responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. These testing sites will be located 

through out County facilities, in addition to testing sites available to County 

residents.

1.4 Prevention in Congregate Settings (Nursing Homes, Prisons/Jails, Dense Work Sites, Schools, etc.)*

1.5 Personal Protective Equipment

Project Name: PPE for HHSA Staff HHSA $ 1,073,279 X 

Project ID #: 1004

Description: Employees continue to use PPE in the office. Funds would cover Cintas monthly 

order of masks and hand sanitizer stations. Expense serves approximately 2,000 

Agency staff, plus members of the public on a monthly contracted basis. On July 

26, 2021 the State Public Health Officer issued an order, effective August 9, that 

requires workers in certain facilities to wear FDA-cleared surgical masks and 

follow CDC masking guidelines. This applies to: A) Acute Health Care and LongTerm Care Settings; B) High-Risk Congregate Settings; and C) Other Health Care 

Settings. These supplies would be procured outside of the Agency's agreement 

with Cintas which provides cloth masks and hand sanitizer stations for 

employees and clients. 

Equity Measures: PPE will serve Agency staff, plus members of the public which includes a 

significant number of disadvantaged communities and populations

Performance 

Indicators:

PPE will be purchased and distributed to employees to use in the office, 

including masks, and hand sanitizer stations.

Project Status Less than 50% Completed

Project Name: Distribution of PPE for other Tulare County institutions responding to COVID19HHSA $ 1,522,000 X 

Project ID #: 1005

Description: This funding is primarily reserved for any potential COVID-19 surge in the 

County. Given the widespread demand that hospitals, nursing homes, doctor's 

offices, dental clinics, and other small businesses have shown in the past for 

PPE, a surge in COVID-19 cases could easily require this much funding for PPE, 

and possibly more. Supplying PPE keeps the disease contained, and could help 

small businesses stay open when they might otherwise have to close due to an 

inability to meet disease-mitigation requirements. This project considers that 

manufacturers have previously raised their prices in the event of widespread 

PPE shortages, and the proposed amount is reasonable, should COVID-19 cases 

take a sharp increase in the next few months.

Equity Measures: PPE will be provided throughout the County which includes underserved and 

unincorporated areas. It will also be provided to healthcare workers who 

provide services in these areas.

Performance 

Indicators:

The goal is to procure surgical masks, gloves, and N95 masks and distribute 

throughout the County.

1.6 Medical Expenses (including Alternative Care Facilities)

Project Name: Hospitals HHSA $ 3,000,000 X 

Project ID #: 1006

Description: Public Health will provide additional funding to local hospitals to assist with 

COVID-19 mitigation measures through testing and vaccination. These funds 

will also provide for COVID-19 safety measures in the emergency room and inpatient rooms.

Equity Measures: This project was designed to assist community partners with providing direct 

patient care through mobile clinics and street medicine teams as well as 

enhanced services provided through the emergency room. The three recipient 

hospitals in Tulare County serve all residents of the County, including 

underserved communities and residents who live in qualified census tracts.

Performance 

Indicators:

Dept Total Project Cost PHASE I PHASE II PHASE III PHASE IV

Equity Measures: This project enhances the Emergency Operations Center which serves the entire 

County. Tulare County has numerous disadvantaged areas encompassing a 

large portion of the population. By virtue of serving a County-wide facility, this 

project serves the large disadvantaged population of Tulare County. 

Disadvantaged populations are more likely to live in disaster-prone locations 

(e.g. floodplains, high fire risk areas), making them the most likely beneficiaries 

of this investment.

Performance 

Indicators:

The video conferencing components will be installed in the Emergency 

Operations Center, and will be used in future emergency operations to 

incorporate off-site personnel and enhance collaboration / communication with 

other incident facilities (e.g. incident command posts, DOCs, REOC).

Description: To purchase a new high-speed plotter for printing maps and other visuals at 

the Emergency Operations Center (EOC). This will increase capacity for printing 

maps, temporary signage, and other visuals used for both internal and interagency coordination (e.g. road / aerial imagery maps of fire and floodimpacted or -threatened areas) as well as public communication (e.g. signage 

for shelters, vaccination PODs, Local Assistance Centers). This project is a shortduration activity as it entails only the procurement and deployment of the 

plotter hardware.

Equity Measures: This project enhances the Emergency Operations Center which serves the entire 

County. Tulare County has numerous disadvantaged areas encompassing a 

large portion of the population. By virtue of serving a County-wide facility, this 

project serves the large disadvantaged population of Tulare County.

Description: Purchase of air purfication systems for deployment in HHSA facilities 

throughout Tulare County

Equity Measures: Allows HHSA to serve communities throughout the County by keeping offices 

open and minimizing risk to both staff and clients. County of Tulare has offices 

throughout the County, and many of them located in disadvantage 

communities. Several are in leased facilities that may not comply with 

recommended air filtration standards needed to minimize transmission risk of 

COVID-19. In the recent past, we have been forced to close facilities due to 

known cases of contamination, which then limits access to needed services, 

which is especially problematic for disproptionately impacted populations.

Project ID #: 1031

Description: Project will identify homeless individuals and their families at high-risk for 

negative health outcomes and provide isolation and quarantine through noncongregate shelter from March 3, 2021 - June 30, 2022 to protect human life, 

minimize strain on health care system capacity, provide safe housing to 

quarantine and isolate, while connecting homeless individuals and their 

families with SafetyNet programs.

Equity Measures: Project works directly with the local Continuum of Care (CoC) to utilize the 

Coordinated Entry System via the Homeless Management Information System 

(HMIS) to identify individuals with medical and economic disparities. The 

project serves economically disadvantaged individuals with minimum eligibility 

criteria of homelessness and high-risk, such that over 25 percent of intended 

beneficiaries are below the federal poverty line

Project Name: COVID-19 Vaccine and Testing Outreach HHSA $ 100,000 X 

Project ID #: 1032

Description: Additional messaging and outreach activities may be necessary beyond 

activities planned in scope of the ELC Expansion project. ELC Expansion includes 

$200K for outreach and messaging. Messaging and outreach efforts can reduce 

vaccine hesitancy and thereby possibly prevent or reduce potential resurgences 

of COVID-19.

Equity Measures: Outreach and media activities target the most disadvantaged and underserved 

communities in the County. For example, radio and TV ads are aired in both 

English and Spanish in order to reach the Spanish-speaking population, which 

has been identified as high-risk. Also, as a rural county, media are selected to 

ensure maximum accessibility to the remote populations (e.g. radio instead of 

the internet).The majority of the efforts with media and communication has 

been driven by the communities identified among the lower HPI quartiles. 

Tulare County has worked with billboard vendors to promote vaccination 

efforts and increase intention and health behavior surrounding vaccine 

hesitancy in19 census tracts having the lowest HPI scores , under 25%. In 

addition to billboards, Tulare County's website has an accessible COVID-19 

Tulare County Data and Information dashboard and links to vaccination and 

testing resources. In addition to this, the County uses Facebook, Twitter, and 

YouTube accounts to post vaccine events, vaccine/testing registration links, 

updates, advisories, and guidance that are made public. Collaborations with 

radio stations have been established and are continued to be worked with. This 

channel is used to promote the vaccine events in Tulare County and the 

Community-Based Organizations (CBO) efforts. CBO partnerships have been 

supporting the media outreach as well by reaching out to communities and 

promoting events on their media platforms. Overall, all efforts have been done 

collaboratively to continue promoting accessibility, affordability, and 

acceptability of testing and vaccination for COVID-19.

Performance 

Indicators:

As the outreach and media will be aimed at reducing vaccine hesitancy, 

vaccination rates will be measured in the targeted communities to measure the 

success of the project. Weekly reports are being compiled by Tulare County 

Epidemiology team to demonstrate the percentage of vaccination among the 

priority communities, to identify where the needs are and what planning 

should take place to increase/improve the percentage.

Equity Measures: Pixley Park is in a Qualified Census Tract. Pixley is a rural disadvantaged 

community, which has a population of 3,347, with limited access to services. 

Health outcomes are linked closely with poverty and the residents of Pixley 

experience elevated rates of poor health conditions as a result of limited access 

to services. By improving the Park, it gives greater opportunity for residents to 

exercise, children to play, and family and friends to gather. Residents will be 

made aware of any modifications to the park via social media and through 

partner collaborations working in the community. Demographics: 75.98% 

Hispanic White, 7.86% non-Hispanic White, 11.92% Other race, 4.24% Black or

Description: Project: Repair arbor, replace picnic tables and grills. 

Project timeline: The project will be completed by June 30, 2022. 

Intended Outcomes: Addressing health disparities and the social determinants 

of health, building stronger neighborhoods and communities, and promoting 

healthy childhood environments by improving the park. Additionally, the park is 

used for social gatherings which will assist in bringing the community back 

together as recovery efforts begin for the COVID-19 pandemic. Outdoor space 

and socialization can also assist in improving psychological health. An article

Equity Measures: Woodville is a rural disadvantaged community with limited access to services 

which has a population of 1,763. The average household income is $41,676 

with a poverty rate of 39.85%. By improving the Park, it gives greater 

opportunity for residents to exercise, children to play, and family and friends to 

gather. Residents will be made aware of any modification to the park via social 

media and through partner collaborations working in the community. 

Demographics of Woodville: 77.54% Hispanic White, 6.29% non-Hispanic 

White, 11.12% Other race, 1.36% Native American, 3.29% identify as two or 

more races, and .40% Asian. Although Woodville is not in a Qualified Census 

Tract, the population of 1,245, within half a mile of the Park is disadvantaged. 

The median household income for this area is $29,052. Additionally, Tulare 

County has high rates of poverty, obesity, and food insecurity (University of CA, 

Cal Fresh Healthy Living). By improving the park, residents will have a place to 

go for activity and exercise to attempt to offset poor health outcomes. Over 

25% of intended beneficiaries are below the federal poverty line.

Project Name: TCSO Isolation and Quarantine Measures TCSO $ 5,993,706 X X 

Project ID #: 1042

Description: To mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 public health emergency within Tulare 

County jail facilities, the Sheriff's Office has dedicated five of eight housing 

modules at its Pre-Trial Jail Facility. The designated housing modules are 

utilized strictly for COVID-19 observation, quarantine, and isolation. All arrests 

are housed in observation units for a minimum of 14 days before qualifying to 

go to regular housing. 

Any deemed outbreak within any designated module at the Pre-Trial Facility 

becomes locked down. Inmates are medically screened/assessed; COVID-19 

tests are administered on days 1, 7, and 14. If no signs/symptoms are present 

and results are negative for COVID-19, the affected module is taken off 

quarantine status. Suspect Forms and Contact Tracing are completed by 

medical, HHSA, HR&D, and/or designated Infectious Control Officer within the 

Sheriff’s Office. 

Free COVID-19 education (verbal, pamphlet, and video) and free COVID-19 

vaccinations for inmates are offered during bookings and while housed within 

any Sheriff’s Office jail facility. Mandatory Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) 

is issued and regularly replaced and enforced within all jail facilities.

Trainings for all staff with occasional repeat training as reminders to establish 

and/or any new State or County COVID-19 guidelines will be done regularly. 

Through the County Health Officer, Health & Human Services Agency, and jail 

medical provider, Wellpath, the Sheriff’s Office created and will sustain best 

practice workflow charts for covid prevention amongst inmates, staff, and the 

public. All Sheriff’s Office staff working in these designated units or exposed to 

the COVID-19 virus, use a special assignment code (C19, C19B, C19R) on their 

timecards to track all Salary and Benefits costs associated with this project.

Equity Measures: All arrests, regardless of race, ethnicity, age, religious background, gender, 

medical ailment, education level, mental health needs, or other beliefs are 

received, booked, and classified for housing in observation units for a minimum 

of 14 days before qualifying to go to appropriate regular housing within one of 

three Sheriff’s Office jail facilities. Placecards are posted in various locations in 

each housing units/modules in both English and Spanish that explain the 

categories of observation, quarantine, and isolation. 

All arrests brought into a Tulare County jail facility are educated about the 

Covid-19 vaccination by contracted medical staff and are offered the 

vaccination(s) at no cost to the inmate. All inmates brought in are also 

educated about the covid testing methods and tested via Rapid and PCR tests 

at no cost. Any inmate who becomes released before receiving the 2nd dose of 

the covid vaccination is provided a written referral.

This project primarily serves disadvantaged and low-income communities 

throughout Tulare County. The County comprises approximately 34 towns and 

cities, of which 17 are in a qualified census tract. All arrests within Tulare 

County, regardless of where they are from or what community they are from, 

are tested for Covid-19, educated on Covid-19, offered the Covid-19 vaccination 

regiment, and housed in observation units for a minimum of 14 days before 

qualifying to go to regular housing. Inmates are not charged for any medical 

or mental health services or referrals. 

Performance 

Indicators:

A Dashboard has been created and is sustained with daily statistics for any 

administered covid tests (positive, negative, or recovered) and for any covid 

vaccinations (1st dose, 2nd dose, refusals, or released prior to 2nd dose). The 

Dashboard also maintains any current numbers for those inmates who are in 

isolation, quarantine and/or positive. It is estimated that 4,500 inmates are 

booked into a Tulare County jail every three months or quarter. Through this 

project, the Sheriff’s Office strives to have 100% adherence of all booking into a 

county jail facility screened through the observation/quarantine protocol.

1.9 Payroll Costs for Public Health, Safety, and Other Public Sector Staff Responding to COVID-19

Project Name: HHSA Payroll HHSA $ 1,994,103 X 

Project ID #: 1043

Description: HS - CWS would like to hire 10-15 Extra Help staff. Due to COVID, IR/ER CWS 

staff have fallen behind on 10-day referrals. The onset of COVID created many 

obstacles for in-person response within 10-days, especially since there was not 

much information early on about COVID and the impact on it's spread and 

contraction. Also, keeping in mind staff safety and health. This created a backlog for staff, which leadership has identified a plan to address this area. 

However, it would be beneficial to incorporate extra help staff to address the 

back-log and ensure we are adhering to State mandates. COVID has also 

impacted staff going on LOAs, requesting accommodations due to child care, 

and office closures due to COVID positives which have contributed to the 

challenge of meeting this State mandate during the COVID pandemic. The 

calculation is based off of the salary of a SSW times 15 the requesting total. HS 

has reduced our request by half due to the time required to hire the extra help 

candidates. We have estimated about 6 months extra help staff. 

MH - As Mental Health personnel continue to aid in COVID-19 related activities, 

this funding will help pay for the positions since they will not be providing 

billable services. The amount is based on the recent cost with an estimated 

reduction of the cost by 60% as a contingency in the event PH is not able to 

fully take over the positions. Currently, there are two MH personnel that have 

continued to support COVID-19 related activities and these costs are not 

allowable through other MH funding.

Fiscal Operations staff were pulled from their day-to-day activities to support 

COVID efforts. Additionally, COVID has also impacted staff going on LOA and 

requesting accommodations due to childcare. As a result, their daily activities 

have fallen behind. The funds would help hire extra help to catch up on fiscal

Description: This project will fund additional staffing in the Office of Emergency Services 

necessary to address the increasing frequency, severity, complexity, duration, 

and overlap of natural and man-made disasters within the County. This was an 

identified deficiency during COVID-19 and the concurrent major disaster (DR4558-CA) for wildfire, both of which were further complicated by excessive 

heat, power shortage / rolling blackouts, and excessive livestock mortality.

Equity Measures: The Office of Emergency Services serves the entire County, which includes a 

significant number of disadvantaged communities and individuals. As these 

populations are more likely to live in disaster-prone areas, disadvantaged 

populations are the most likely beneficiaries.

Project ID #: 1046

Description: Tulare County Fire Department (TCFD) provides emergency response service to 

underserved communities in need of medical aid attention while using 

universal precautions. TCFD has implemented operational strategies in 

mitigating COVID-19 exposure and the spread of the virus. The Department 

has purchased essential Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and initiated 

decontamination procedures designed to keep employees and the community 

safe. When COVID-19 was declared a national pandemic during March 2020, 

the Department immediately adhered and continues to adhere to strict 

protocols as outlined by the Central California Emergency Medical Services 

Agency, FIRESCOPE, and the Centers for Disease Control. Utilizing Designated 

Infection Control Officers as the primary point, the Department implemented 

internal protocols to ensure the continuation of emergency services to the 

community. These protocols continue to be in place and include operational 

area coordination of PPE and decontamination procedures, daily employee selfhealth screenings, improved air filtration during oxygen therapy on emergency 

scenes, and Individual employee Personal Isolation Kits. Fire Dispatch has 

implemented caller queries for sick persons. Information gathered during a 

dispatched call is placed in the CAD comments and firefighters are asked to use 

universal precautions, including wearing N95 masks, gowns, gloves, and other 

PPE as needed when responding. 

Equity Measures: Tulare County Fire serves over 20 disadvantaged and low-income communities. 

As frontline professionals, Tulare County firefighters continue working through 

the COVID-19 pandemic to provide services and keep the community safe, 

regardless of race, ethnicity, age, religious background, gender, medical 

ailment, education level, mental health needs, or other beliefs. Additionally, 

Department EMTs have assisted with vaccination efforts and hosted 

vaccination clinics at various fire stations to reach all surrounding 

disadvantaged communities. 

Performance 

Indicators:

The Tulare County Fire Department serves a population of more than 460,000. 

Between December 2020 and June 2021, the Department responded to 5,100 

medical aid calls for service. It is anticipated the Department will respond to 

approximately 12,000 medical calls for service by the end of 2021. The 

Department will maintain 100% adherence to protocols as outlined by the 

Central California Emergency Medical Services Agency, FIRESCOPE, and the 

Centers for Disease Control while responding to medical aid calls for service.

Description: 1)	Description / Major Project activities:

Document Imaging and Electronic Records involves physical paper content 

capture into an electronic format, indexing it according to record type and 

importing to a custom-designed electronic records archive. 

2)	Project Timeline: less than a year from project start

3)	Delivery mechanisms: Assessor and County ICT will provide project 

management; 3rd party contractors to perform document imaging and design 

of capture system and updates to ERM archive.

Equity Measures: Electronic records help support services to all constituents over the phone or 

computer without traveling distances to the office, which could be a lengthy 

trip for those who reside in our rural disadvantaged communities. Electronic 

records systems that allow staff to work remotely also reduce the impact on 

our local air quality. The Assessor supports business and community 

development operations and ongoing County revenues through their work. In 

particular, the Assessor is making available re-assessments for business 

property losses tied to COVID-19.

Performance 

Indicators:

Intended outcomes:

• Having the Assessor's paper records digitized would help provide property 

information to taxpayers requesting information quicker. The public often has a 

need to access Assesses records when purchasing properties. The Assessor 

should aim to not cause any unnecessary delays in real estate transactions to 

keep the market robust. 

• If employees are sent home related to the COVID-19 Pandemic & do not have 

access to file records, they are unable to process exemptions without a delay in 

services. These various exemptions save taxpayers money & are vital to 

economic recovery. 

• Digitized records would allow staff to process deeds from home in the event 

of an office closure. This would allow the appraisal process to occur in a timely 

manner resulting in the issuance & collection of supplemental taxes to bring in 

revenues to the County.
