RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Memorandum of Understanding #74–208–12 with the California Department of State Hospitals, a government agency, in an amount not to exceed $9,357,140, for the purchase and use of state hospital beds for psychiatric patients, for the period from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% Mental Health Realignment. (Rate Increase)

BACKGROUND:

In previous years, the agreement to purchase State hospital beds was a part of the Mandated County Performance Contract, as required by Section 5650 of the Welfare and Institution Code. Since fiscal year 2002/2003, the purchase of state hospital beds has been separated from the Performance Contract, making it a stand-alone agreement.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On January 3, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Memorandum of Understanding Agreement #74–208–11 with the State Department of Mental Health, for the period from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014, for the purchase and use of state hospital beds. The responsibility for administration of this program has since been transferred to the Department of State Hospitals. The State recently proposed this MOU which covers the period July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2016.

Approval of Memorandum of Understanding #74–208–12 will allow County to compensate the State for bed usage, including staffing, facilities, equipment, and supplies through June 30, 2016. This Agreement includes mutual indemnification.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County will not be able to pay Contractor for bed usage for mentally ill patients
