RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #24–773–24 with Mountain Valley Child and Family Services, Inc., a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $2,448,767 to provide intensive day treatment, mental health services and Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS) for Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) youth and dependents for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2019 in an amount not to exceed $1,224,383.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 50% Federal Medi-Cal; 24% Mental Health Realignment and 26% Employment and Human Services Department. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing mental health day treatment for wards of the court to reduce the need for hospitalization.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On September 26, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24–773–24, as amended by Contract Amendment Agreement #24-773-25, with Mountain Valley Child and Family Services, Inc. for the provision of a intensive day treatment, TBS, and mental health services for SED youth and dependents for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2018.

Approval of Novation Contract #24–773–26 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services, through June 30, 2019.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, there will be fewer placement options for clients that require day treatment services.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This 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).
