RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Standard Amendment Agreement #29-502-47 (State #19-96218, A01) with the California Department of Health Care Services, to amend Standard Agreement #29-502-45 to decrease the amount payable to County by $1,222,762 from $64,760,373 to a new payment limit not to exceed $63,537,611, for continuing Drug Medi-Cal Substance Abuse Treatment Services, with no change in the original term of July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment will result in a decrease of $1,222,762 revenues for Drug Medi-Cal Federal Participation for FY 2020-21. No County match is 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 November 5, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Standard Agreement #29-502-45 with the Department of Health Care Services, to pay the County an amount not to exceed $64,760,373 to provide SUD prevention and treatment services, for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2022.

Approval of this Standard Amendment Agreement #29-502-47, will decrease the total payment limit and reduce the budget for FY 2020-21 for the Drug Medi-Cal Substance Abuse Treatment Services, with no change in the original term through June 30, 2022. This decrease is a result of prior year rates of funding execution and does not impact existing programs funded by this grant.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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