RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #74-058-38 with Seneca Family of Agencies, a non-profit corporation, effective November 1, 2022, to amend Novation Contract #74-058-37, to increase the payment limit by $130,000, from $7,655,806 to a new payment limit of $7,785,806, with no change in the original term of July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023, and to increase the automatic extension payment limit by $65,000, from $3,827,903 to a new payment limit of $3,892,903 through December 31, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment will result in additional budgeted expenditures of $130,000 and will be funded by 50% Martinez Unified School District and 50% Federal Medi-Cal. The cumulative funding of the contract's payment limit is 50% Federal Medi-Cal, 46% Mental Health Realignment, 3% Local School Districts, and 1% Probation Department. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing community-based mental health services focusing on Severely Emotionally Disturbed (SED) children, adolescents and their families which will result in positive social and emotional development at home, in the community and greater school success. This contractor has been providing these services to the County since April 2000.

On September 20, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-058-37 with Seneca Family of Agencies, in an amount not to exceed $7,655,806 for the provision of school and community-based wraparound specialty mental health services and Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS) for SED children and their families in East, West and Central Contra Costa County, for the period July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2023 in an amount not to exceed $3,827,903.

Approval of Amendment Agreement #74-058-38 will allow the contractor to provide additional services through June 30, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, the County will not receive additional mental health services for SED children.

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).
