RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE clarification of Board action of August 18, 2015 (C.55), which authorized Standard Amendment Agreement #29-502-36 (State 14-90053, A01) with the Department of Health Care Services, effective July 1 2014, for continuation of the Drug Medi-Cal Substance Abuse Treatment Services. The August 18, 2015 Board Order incorrectly stated the payment increase amount of $1,286,253, and this Board Order clarifies the amendment to Standard Agreement #29-502-34 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #29-502-35), reflects a funding increase amount payable to County of $1,411,253, resulting in a new payment limit not to exceed $28,938,125 in funding, with no change in the original term of July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment agreement will result in an increase of up to $1,411,253 in funding to a new total of $28,938,125 from the Department of Health Care Services. No County match required.

BACKGROUND:

The Standard Agreement #29-502 is a combined Negotiated Net Amount (NNA) and Drug/Medi-Cal contract. The NNA Agreement requires counties to provide Drug/Medi-Cal services up to their full State General Fund allocation for Drug/Medi-Cal match. If the required services exceed the allocation, counties may access Drug/Medi-Cal reserve set aside for this purpose. On December 2, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Standard Agreement #29-502-34 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #29-502-35), with the Department of Health Care Services, for the period from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2017, to provide Substance Abuse Treatment services.

This board order clarifies Board Order (C.55) approved by the Board of Supervisors on August 18, 2015 to accurately reflect the correct amended payment increase amount of $1,411,253 for standard (Amendment) Agreement #29-502-36, which increases funding and makes technical adjustment to the budget for the Drug Medi-Cal Substance Abuse Treatment Services with no change in the original term, through June 30, 2017.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved the County will not be able to receive additional funds to support continuation of the Substance Abuse Services, Prevention and Treatment Program.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
