RECOMMENDATION(S):

Health Services Department (5957)/Fleet ISF (0064): Approve Appropriation and Revenue Adjustment # 5046 authorizing the transfer of appropriations in the amount of $90,882 from Behavioral Health Services Division – Mental Health Services Act to General Services – ISF Fleet Services (0064) for the purchase of three (3) vehicles for the implementation of a mobile crisis intervention team.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action increases appropriations in General Services – Fleet Services (0064) and reduces appropriations in Behavioral Health Services (5957) by $90,882. This purchase is funded 100% by Mental Health Services Act.

BACKGROUND:

The Mobile Crisis Intervention Teams will provide 24/7 response, including assessment, brief crisis response, short-term triage and emergency services, to severely mentally ill consumers and their families in order to prevent acute psychiatric crises and subsequent hospitalization. The Mobile Crisis Intervention Team will be an interdisciplinary team consisting of licensed mental health clinicians, community/family support workers, and a family nurse practitioner. This team will work with community partners to coordinate and collaborate to provide the safest and most compassionate solution to an emergent psychiatric crisis.

Purchase of these vehicles will allow County to implement the Mobile Crisis Intervention Team project.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this appropriation adjustment is not approved, the Division will not be able to purchase cars to implement a mobile crisis intervention team project.
