RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #24-859-23 with Edgewood Center for Children and Families, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $160,000, to provide specialty mental health services to severely emotionally disturbed (SED), children including outpatient mental health services, collateral services and therapeutic behavioral services (TBS) for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2016, in an amount not to exceed $80,000.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Novation Contract is funded 50% Federal Financial Participation and 50% by County Realignment. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing day treatment and other specialty mental health services to SED children and their families. October 21, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved, Novation Contract #24-859-22 with Edgewood Center for Children and Families, for the period from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015, which included a six-month automatic extension through, December 31, 2015, for the provision of mental health services, collateral services and TBS for SED children. Approval of Novation Contract #24-859-23 will replace the automatic extension under the prior contract and allow Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2016.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this novation contract is not approved, SED children will not have access to Contractor’s services.
