RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment Agreement #74–051–22 with STAND! For Families Free of Violence, a non-profit corporation, effective June 1, 2015, to amend Novation Contract #74-051-21, to increase the total payment limit by $86,000 from $1,380,000, to a new total payment limit of $1,466,000, with no change in the original term of July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015, and to increase the automatic extension payment amount by $43,000 from $690,000 to a new total not to exceed $733,000 ,with no change in the extension term through December 31, 2015.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Amendment is funded 50% by Federal Financial Participation and 50% by County Mental Health Realignment. (No Rate Increase)

BACKGROUND:

On October 28, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-051-21 with STAND! For Families Free of Violence, for the period from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2015, for the provision of TBS and Respite and Mentoring services including the Child-Parent Enrichment Project, to County referred-clients.

Due to an increase in utilization, causing referrals to have exceeded more than expected, which therefore created a waiting list for medical eligible youth, County requested, and Contractor has agreed to provide additional services.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #74–051–22 will allow the Contractor to provide additional TBS and Respite and Mentoring services, through June 30, 2015.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, children who have been discharged from hospitals or have failed in other placements will not have access to Contractor’s Mental Health services resulting in increased family stress and more out-of-home placements.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

These programs support 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).
