RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract #4–306–5 with The West Contra Costa Youth Service Bureau, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $648,894, to provide wraparound mental health services for youth, for the period from January 1, 2011 through June 30, 2011. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2011, in an amount not to exceed $648,894.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 62% by Federal FFP Medi-Cal, 33% by State Early and Periodic, Diagnosis, Screening and Treatment (EPSDT), and 5% by Mental Health Realignment. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing wraparound Mental Health services to County-designated Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) youth, and their families, in West Contra Costa County.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On January 12, 2010, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74–306–4 with The West Contra Costa Youth Services Bureau for the period from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2010, for the provision of wraparound Mental Health services.

Approval of Contract #74–306–5 will allow the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2011.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, Medi-Cal eligible SED youth in West Contra Costa County will have fewer opportunities to receive needed wraparound treatment, and may require treatment at higher levels of service.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This EPSDT program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “Children Ready For and Succeeding in School”; “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing”; and “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families”. Expected program outcomes include an increase in positive social and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS).
