RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Amendment Agreement #74-577-4 with Seneca Family of Agencies, a non-profit corporation, effective June 1, 2022, to amend Novation Contract #74-577-3, to increase the payment limit by $195,000, from $3,324,851 to a new total payment limit of $3,519,851, with no change in the term of July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022, and to increase the automatic extension payment limit by $97,500, from $1,662,425 to a new payment limit of $1,759,925 through December 31, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment will result in additional annual budgeted expenditures of up to $195,000 for FY 2021-2022 and will be funded by 38% Mental Health Services Act, 32% Federal Medi-Cal, 25% County Realignment funding, and 5% State grants. (No rate increase)








BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing mental health services to adolescents with emotional and behavioral problems to improve school performance, reduce unsafe behavioral practices, and reduce the need for out-of-home placements. The County has been contracting with Seneca Family of Agencies since October 2018.  
  
On December 14, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-577-3 with Seneca Family of Agencies, in an amount not to exceed $3,324,851 to provide mobile crisis response and children’s specialty mental health services for Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) children, for the period July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2022, in an amount not to exceed $1,656,432.  
  
Approval of Amendment Agreement #74-577-4 will increase the payment limit and allow this contractor to provide additional mobile crisis response services through June 30, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, SED children throughout the County may not have access to this contractor’s mobile crisis services, possibly resulting in the need for higher levels of care.
