RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #24-927-22 with Community Health for Asian Americans, a non-profit corporation, effective October 1, 2016, to amend Contract #24-927-21, to increase the payment limit by $778,561, from $806,563 to a new payment limit of $1,585,124, with no change in the original term of July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017 and to increase the automatic extension payment limit by $389,281 from $403,281 to a new payment limit of $792,562 through December 31, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment is funded 49% Federal Financial Participation; 49% Mental Health Realignment; 2% Non-Medi-Cal Mental Health Realignment (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On August 16, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24-927-21 with Community Health for Asian Americans for the provision of school and community based mental health services to children in West County, for the period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017. However, the contract payment limit was calculated for a six-month term contract and the contract approval was for a 12 month term. Therefore, the department needs to increase the payment limit to account for the 12 month term contract.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #24-927-22 will allow the contract to have sufficient funds for the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2017.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, Asian American and other ethnic groups receiving services at four programs in West County would have reduced access to mental health services in school, drug court and clinic settings.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This EPSDT Program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: (1) “Children Ready for and Succeeding in School”; (4) “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing”; and (5) “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) and a decrease in juvenile offender recidivism as measured by probation database information.
