RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #24-705-65 with We Care Services for Children, a non-profit corporation, effective January 1, 2020, to amend Novation Contract #24-705-64, to increase the payment limit by $100,000, from $1,944,654 to a new payment limit of $2,044,654, with no change in the original term of July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, and to increase the automatic extension payment limit by $50,000 from $972,327 to a new payment limit of $1,022,327 through December 31, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Amendment is funded by 50% Federal Medi-Cal and 50% Mental Health Realignment Funds. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On July 23, 2019 the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24–705–64 with We Care Services for Children for the provision of wrap-around mental health services for high risk, delayed or Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) children in Central Contra Costa County for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2020.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #24-705-65 will allow the Contractor to provide additional services through June 30, 2020.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, high risk, delayed or SED children in Central Contra Costa County will have reduced access to mental health services.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This 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).
