RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract #74-495-1 with Berkeley Youth Alternatives, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $100,066, to provide school-based mental health services to seriously emotionally disturbed children, for the period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2017, in an amount not to exceed $50,033.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 50% Federal Financial Participation and 50% County Realignment. (Rate Increase) (3% Cost of Living Adjustment [COLA])

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing state-mandated school-based mental health services to seriously emotionally disturbed students, and their families. On July 28, 2015 the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-495 with Berkeley Youth Alternatives for the provision of school-based mental health services for seriously emotionally disturbed students in Alameda County, who reside in Contra Costa County, for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2016.

Approval of Contract #74-495-1 replaces the automatic extension under the prior contract and will allow the Contractor to continue to provide school-based mental health services for seriously emotionally disturbed students through June 30, 2017.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, County residents will not receive services provided by this Contractor.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports 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).
