RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Appropriation and Revenue Adjustment No. 005023 authorizing the transfer of appropriations in the amount of $321,999 from Behavioral Health Admin (0467) to General Services - Fleet Operations (0064) for the purchase of ten (10) vehicles for transportation of A3 (Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime) clients.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action increases appropriations in the Fleet Internal Service Fund (0064) and reduces appropriations in Behavioral Health Admin (0467) by $321,999. Allocation adjustments through a T/C 24 will facilitate the fund transfer to the proper disbursement account. The purchase of these vehicles will be 100% funded by the California Department of Health Care Services.

BACKGROUND:

The Crisis Care Mobile Units Program grant and the Measure X half cent sales tax funded 75 positions to staff the A3 (Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime) Behavioral Health Crisis Response Program that will serve the entire County. This funding includes the use of County vehicles. The vehicles will be used by our Mobile Crisis Response Teams (Mental Health Specialists, Community Support Workers, and Substance Use Counselors) to respond in the community to provide services to individuals experiencing a behavioral health crisis. The Mobile Crisis Response Teams will assess clients onsite, stabilize the situation, or initiate an involuntary hold. In addition to using the vehicle to meet people in the field, it will be used to transport clients, as needed, to appropriate destinations, so that they receive the right care at the right time.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If a vehicle is not available BHS will not be meeting the requirements of the funding sources. Additionally, the Mobile Crisis Response Teams will not be able to meet a primary goal of the A3 Model, which is to respond in the field and onsite to provide necessary interventions/services.
