RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Standard Amendment Agreement #29-502-40 (State 14-90053, A05) with the Department of Health Care Services, effective July 1, 2014, to amend Standard Agreement #29-502-34 (as amended by Amendment Agreements #29-502-35 through #29-502-39), to decrease the amount payable to County by $236,392, from $32,831,844 to a new payment limit not to exceed in funding, $32,595,452, 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 decrease of $236,392 in the 2014; 2015 and 2016 Substance Abuse Services, Prevention and Treatment (SAPT) Program Block Grant and State General Fund Awards. No County match required.

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 Agreements #29-502-35 through #29-502-39), with the Department of Health Care Services, for the period from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2017, to provide Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment services.

Approval of this Standard (Amendment) Agreement #29-502-40, will decrease funding and make technical adjustment to the budgets for the SAPT Block Grants and State General Fund Award 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 make adjustments to the budget and continue to receive funds to support the Substance Abuse Services, Prevention and Treatment Program.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
