RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #74-525-1 with Center for Psychotherapy, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $549,328, to provide mental health services, case management and crisis intervention, for Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) adolescents and latency-aged children, for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018. This contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2018, in an amount not to exceed $274,664.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is funded 50% Federal Financial Participation; 50% Mental Health Realignment. (3% Cost of Living Adjustment)

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing mental health services for SED adolescents and latency-aged children.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of Novation Contract #74-525-1 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2018.

If this contract is not approved, SED adolescents and latency-aged children will not receive mental health services.
