RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Participation Agreement #74-649 containing mutual indemnification with California Mental Health Services Authority (CalMHSA), a public entity, in an amount not to exceed $29,442, to act as the administrative agent to contract with California Department of State Hospitals (DSH) for access and use of state hospital bed utilization on behalf of the County, for the period July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in budgeted annual expenditures of up to $29,442 and will be funded 100% by Mental Health Realignment Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this participation agreement is to grant CalMHSA the authority to contract with DSH for state hospital bed utilization on behalf of the County and to define roles and responsibilities between CalMHSA and Participants in the context of a MOU between CalMHSA and DSH.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In previous years, these services had been paid via an Annual Commitment Funding Form which did not need County Counsel or Board of Supervisors approval. CalMHSA has recently changed this to a Purchase Agreement therefore there was delay in the County receiving the agreement and obtaining all necessary approvals.

Under Contract #74-649, the contractor will act as administrative agent with the DSH for access and use of state hospital bed resources on behalf of the County and to evaluate and implement collaborative opportunities in the development of programs for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this participation agreement is not approved, Contra Costa County will not have access to CalMHSA for the use of state hospital bed utilization.
