RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Appropriation and Revenue Adjustment No. 5036 authorizing the transfer of appropriations in the amount of $10,619 from the Behavioral Health Services Division – PEI First Hope (5727) to General Services - ISF Fleet Services (0064) toward the purchase of (7) vehicles for transportation of First Hope clients.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action increases appropriations in General Services – Fleet Services (0064) and reduces appropriations in PEI First Hope (5727) by $10,619. This purchase is funded 100% by Mental Health Service Act funds.

BACKGROUND:

First Hope currently leases 3 vehicles to provide services in the field (school meetings, home visits, hospital meetings, etc.) and to transport clients and families who would otherwise be unable to access group therapy and other treatments to the First Hope clinic. We seek to purchase 3 vehicles as a cost effective alternative to continuing to lease. We also seek to purchase 4 additional vehicles to meet the needs of new clients with First Episode Psychosis who will be enrolling in First Hope as part of our planned and approved expansion of services. We anticipate the number of clients in First Hope to more than double as a result of our expansion. The original amount of $191,462 was approved and the additional amount of $10,619 is to cover the new year model cost of the vehicle.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this purchase is not approved, the Department will not be able to provide adequate field-based services or transportation support for clients with serious mental illnesses to attend treatment appointments. The County would also incur higher expenses in continuing to lease the 3 current vehicles rather purchasing vehicles outright.
