RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Standard Amendment Agreement #29-502-36 (State 14-90053, A01) with the Department of Health Care Services, effective July 1 2014, to amend Standard Agreement #29-502-34 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #29-502-35), to increase the amount payable to County by $1,286,253, from $27,651,872 to a new payment limit up to $28,938,125 in funding, with no change in the original term of July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this amendment agreement will result in an increase up to $1,286,253 in funding to a new total of $28,938,125 from the Department of Health Care Services. No County match required.

FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)

BACKGROUND:

The Standard Agreement #29-502 is a combined Negotiated Net Amount (NNA) and Drug/Medi-Cal contract. The NNA Agreement requires counties to provide Drug/Medi-Cal services up to their full State General Fund allocation for Drug/Medi-Cal match. If the required services exceed the allocation, counties may access Drug/Medi-Cal reserve set aside for this purpose.

On December 2, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Standard Agreement #29-502-34 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #29-502-35), with the Department of Health Care Services, for the period from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2017, to provide Substance Abuse Treatment services.

Approval of this Standard (Amendment) Agreement #29-502-35, will increase funding and make technical adjustments to the budget for the Drug Medi-Cal Substance Abuse Treatment Services with no change in the original term, through June 30, 2017.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved the County will not be able to receive additional funds to support continuation of the Substance Abuse Services, Prevention and Treatment Program.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
