There is no fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

At the December 20, 2016 Board of Supervisors meeting, the Board accepted a data report on the 6-month implementation of the County's Assisted Outpatient Treatment program. At this meeting Board direction was given to staff to return to the Family and Human Services Committee meeting with a recommendation on incorporating community input within the implementation model to provide a forum for the Department and members of the community to maintain communications and for the community to express their concerns regarding emergent issues.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On March 1, 2017 the Mental Health Commission unanimously approved the attached Workgroup agreement, which was also forwarded on to the Family and Human Services Committee and approved at their April 24, 2017 meeting. Please see the two attachments for additional information as presented to the Family and Human Services Committee meeting, including the AOT Workgroup Plan.
