RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Interagency Agreement #74-373-8 with Martinez Unified School District, a political subdivision of the State of California, in an amount not to exceed $180,353, to provide mental health early intervention services to high school students in Martinez for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2018, in an amount not to exceed $90,176.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This interagency agreement is funded 100% by the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA). (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This agreement meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing a youth development program known as The New Leaf Collaborative, which will include individualized learning plans, place-based learning projects and career mentorships and internships for approximately eighty (80) high school adolescent youths in Martinez of all cultural backgrounds.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On October 25, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved Interagency Agreement #74-373-7 with Martinez Unified School District, for the period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017 which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2017, for the provision of Mental Health Services Act - Prevention and Early Intervention (MHSA-PEI) services.

Approval of Novation Interagency Agreement #74-373-8 replaces the automatic extension under the prior agreement and allows the agency to continue providing services through June 30, 2018.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, high school students in Martinez will not have access to the focused learning and career opportunities offered by this MHSA-PEI program.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This MHSA-PEI program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “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 increases in social connectedness, communication skills, parenting skills, and knowledge of the human service system in Contra Costa County.
