RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Standard Amendment Agreement #29-502-41 (State 14-90053, A05) with the Department of Health Care Services, effective July 1, 2016, to amend Standard Agreement #29-502-34 (as amended by Amendment Agreements #29-502-35 through #29-502-40), to increase the amount payable to County by $2,441,274, from $32,595,452 to a new payment limit not to exceed $35,036,726, with no change in the original term of July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment agreement will result in an increase of $2,441,274 in the FY2016-2017 Drug Medi-Cal Federal Participation. No County match required.

BACKGROUND:

The California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) provides funding to counties for Substance Abuse Disorder (SUD) prevention and treatment services through a contractual mechanism. This contract is supported by State General Fund, Federal Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment (SAPT) Block Grant and the Federal Share of reimbursement claimed for Drug Medi-Cal services.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On December 2, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Standard Agreement #29-502-34 (as amended by Amendment Agreements #29-502-35 through #29-502-40), with the Department of Health Care Services, for the period from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2017, to provide SUD prevention and treatment services.

Approval of this Standard (Amendment) Agreement #29-502-41, will increase funding and make technical adjustment to the budgets for the Drug Medi-Cal Substance Abuse Treatment Services, with no change in the original term, through June 30, 2017.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved the County will not be able to make adjustments to the budget and continue to receive funds to support the Substance Abuse Services, Prevention and Treatment Program.
