RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #24-751-86 with Anka Behavioral Health, Incorporated, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $4,341,029, to provide community services, support programs and residential mental health services to County clients for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2018, in an amount not to exceed $2,170,514.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is funded 65% by Mental Health Realignment and 35% by Federal Medi-Cal. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing a continuum of services to residents transitioning from crisis residential care to transitional residential care and keeps these clients out of higher levels of care, including state hospitals.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On October 18, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24-751-84, (as amended by Contract Amendment Agreement #24-751-85) with Anka Behavioral Health, Incorporated for the provision of community services, support programs and residential mental health services including, but not limited to: vocational, community living, socialization, and Medi-Cal rehabilitative programs to County clients, for the period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2017.
Approval of Novation Contract #24-751-86 replaces the automatic extension under the prior contract and allows the contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2018.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, clients will not receive mental health services provided by this contractor.
