RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Donna Wigand), to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #74–058–12 with Seneca Residential and Day Treatment Center for Children, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $525,000, to provide intensive crisis stabilization services to youth through the Mobile Crisis Response Teams, for the period from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2010, in an amount not to exceed $262,500.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 39% by Federal FFP Medi-Cal, 24% by State Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT), 23% Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA/SB90), and 14% by County Mental Health Realignment.

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing intensive crisis stabilization services to Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) children and adolescents (and their families) in high-risk situations, to reduce the need for psychiatric hospitalization.
On January 27, 2009, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74–058–10 (as amended by Contract Amendment Agreement #74–058–11) with Seneca Residential and Day Treatment Center for Children, for the period from July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2009, for the provision of intensive crises stabilization services to youth through the Mobile Crisis Response Teams.
Approval of Novation Contract #74–058–12 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2010.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This EPSDT 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).
