RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #24–315–43 with Young Men’s Christian Association of the East Bay, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $403,000, to provide on-site school counseling services for the period from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2012, in an amount not to exceed $201,500.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 45% by Federal FFP Medi-Cal, 45% by State Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT), and 10% by County Mental Health Realignment. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing counseling and therapy services for emotionally and behavioral disturbed students in selected junior high schools in the West Contra Costa Unified School District that improves their high school attendance records and decreases the use of acute Mental Health system-of-care services.

On December 14, 2010, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24–315–42 with Young Men’s Christian Association of the East Bay, for the period from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2011, for the provision of for the provision of on-school-site counseling services for emotional and behavioral disturbed students.

Approval of Novation Contract #24–315–43 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2012.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, there will be fewer school-based and community services in West County for SED youth, which may result in the need for acute Mental Health system-of-care services.

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).
