RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Standard Agreement #29-502-42 (State #17-94124), with the California Department of Health Care Services, to pay the County an amount not to exceed $20,072,025, to provide alcohol and other drug prevention, treatment and recovery support services to County residents through the authority of Federal Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grants (SABG) for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Agreement will provide funding for fiscal years 2017/2018 through 2019/2020 in an amount not to exceed $20,072,025 for the SABG. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

On December 2, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Agreement #29-502-34, (as amended by subsequent Amendment Agreements #29-502-35 through #29-502-41), to receive State General Funds, Federal Block Grant allocations and Drug/Medi-Cal funds for Substance Use Disorder (SUD) services, for the period from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2017.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of this Standard Agreement #29-502-42 allows the County to continue to receive SABG allocation funds and allow the Department to continue providing needed substance abuse services. In accordance with this agreement, the County agrees to indemnify and hold the State harmless for claims arising out of the County’s performance under the Agreement.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Agreement is not approved, County will not receive funding to support the continuation of substance abuse services in Contra Costa County.
