RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #24–773–21 with Milhous Children’s Services, Inc., a non-profit corporation, effective May 1, 2016, to amend Novation Contract #24-773-20, to increase the payment limit by $215,000, from $600,000 to a new payment limit of $815,000, with no change in the original term of July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016, and to increase the automatic extension payment limit by $107,500, from $300,000 to a new payment limit of $407,500, through December 31, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Amendment is funded 50% Federal Financial Participation; 50% Mental Health Realignment.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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

BACKGROUND:

On October 6, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24–773–20 with Milhous Children’s Services, Inc. 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 a day treatment program, therapeutic behavioral services (TBS), and mental health services for Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) adolescents and latency-age children at Milhous Treatment Ranch.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #24-773-21 will allow the Contractor to provide additional service units of residential day treatment, mental health and TBS for SED adolescents and latency-age children at Milhous Treatment Ranch through June 30, 2016.

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).
