RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Standard Agreement #28-037 (State #23-79003-000) with the Department of State Hospitals, to pay County in an amount not to exceed $500,000 to participate in a collaborative community stakeholder workgroup to reduce the number of individuals with serious mental illness arrested and incarcerated for behavior connected to mental illness for the period July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2028.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this agreement will result in an amount payable to County of $500,000 from the State Department of Hospitals. (No County match)

BACKGROUND:

The collaborative community workgroup will focus on developing and implementing local solutions that target the reduction of the number of individuals with serious mental illness arrested and incarcerated for behavior connected to mental illness. This will include, but is not limited to, planning for care court, coordinating treatment, discussing housing options, planning for rearrest and/or reentry into diversion programs. The workgroup will also focus on the reduction of Felony Incompetent to Stat Trial (FIST) commitments overall within the County.

Approval of Standard Agreement #28-037 will allow County to receive funds through June 30, 2028. This agreement includes the county agreeing to indemnify the grantor for any claims arising out the performance of County under this agreement. This agreement was delayed due to County not receiving the agreement from the grantor until May 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, County will not receive funds to help reduce cases where individuals with serious mental illness are arrested and incarcerated for behavior connected to mental illness.
