Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract #74-480 with Family Life Center LLC, a limited liability company, in an amount not to exceed $166,221, to provide mental health services, medication support and crisis intervention for Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) adolescents and Latency-aged children, for the period from November 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2015, in an amount not to exceed $124,662.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 50% by Federal Financial Participation and 50% Mental Health Realignment.

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing mental health day treatment for wards of the court to reduce the need for hospitalization.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Under Contract #74-480, the Contractor will provide mental health, medication support and crisis intervention services to SED adolescents and latency-age children at its Family Life Center, through June 30, 2015.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, there will be fewer residential facilities to provide services required under the Federal Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA) possibly resulting in higher levels of care.
