RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract #74-476 with Consumer Self-Help Center, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $208,688, to provide a Patients’ Rights Program for the period from October 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% by Mental Health Realignment.

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing a State-mandated Patients’ Rights Advocacy Program, including general advocacy and training services, Certification Review Hearing services, and Reise Capacity Hearing services. These mandated services are being requested from this provider due to the closure of another provider in 2013.
Under Contract #24-719, Contractor will provide services through June 30, 2015.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, County will not have a Patients’ Rights Advocacy Program and will be out of compliance with the performance contract with the State Department of Mental Health, putting funding for the Department’s mental health programs at risk.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
