RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, Amendment Agreement #29-520-14 with the Pittsburg Unified School District, an educational institution, to amend Interagency Agreement #29-520-12, as amended by Amendment Agreement #29-520-13, effective July 1, 2020, to decrease the amount payable to the County by $150,000, from $304,500 to a new amount not to exceed $154,500 with no change in the term of July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021, to provide mental health intervention services for agency-designated, severely emotionally disturbed Special Education students in East County.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment will result in a reduction of $150,000 to the amount payable to the County and for services not rendered by the County. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa Behavioral Health Services Division/Mental Health in collaboration with Lincoln Child Center and Pittsburg Unified School District implemented the Petite Academy Program to provide mental health services for the seriously emotionally disturbed youth and families who live in East County.

On October 13, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Interagency Agreement #29-520-12 with Pittsburg Unified School District to pay the County in an amount not to exceed $154,500 for providing mental health intervention services, to agency-designated, severely emotionally disturbed Special Education students for the period July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021. On January 5, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement #29-520-13 to increase the amount payable to the County by $150,000, to a new amount not to exceed $304,500 with no change in the term.

This contract was amended to increase the payment limit on January 5, 2021; however, the additional funds were intended for Interagency Agreement #28-337 with Pittsburg Unified School District in collaboration with Bay Area Community Resources under a different program for mental health services. Therefore, we must amend this contract to reduce the payment limit back to the original payment limit of $154,500 which was approved by the Board of Supervisors on October 13, 2020.

Approval of Amendment Agreement #29-520-14 will allow a decrease in the amount payable to the County for mental health intervention services through June 30, 2021. This contract payment limit was increased on January 5, 2021 however those allocated funds were intended for a different subcontractor and not the subcontractor providing services described in this agreement. Therefore, this amendment will reduce the payment limit back to the original payment limit of $154,500 approved on October 13, 2020 by the Board of Supervisors.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, County will have an incorrect amount of funding on this contract supporting mental health intervention services for certain special education students.
