RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #74-058-22 with Seneca Family of Agencies, a non-profit corporation, effective April 1, 2016, to amend Novation Contract #74-058-21, to increase the payment limit by $243,859, from $6,801,137 to a new payment limit of $7,044,996, with no change in the original term of July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016, and to increase the automatic extension payment limit by $121,930 from $3,400,568 to a new payment limit of $3,522,498, through December 31, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Amendment is funded 46% Federal Financial Participation; 49% by Mental Health Realignment; 5% Mental Health Services Act. (No Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On December 15, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-058-21 with Seneca Family of Agencies for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2016, for the provision of Mobile Crisis Response Teams for seriously emotionally disturbed (SED) children and their families.


Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #74-058-22 will allow the Contractor to provide additional services through June 30, 2016.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, SED children throughout Contra Costa County will have reduced access to Specialty Mental Health Services.
