RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute Contract Amendment Agreement #74-058-24 with Seneca Family of Agencies, a non-profit corporation, to amend Novation Contract #74-058-23, to increase the automatic extension payment limit by $144,050 from $3,856,259 to a new payment limit of $4,000,309, with no change in the term of the automatic extension through December 31, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment is funded 86% by Federal Medi-Cal, 9% by Mental Health Realignment, 1% by Mt. Diablo Unified School District and 4% by Mental Health Services Act. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On August 9, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-058-23 with Seneca Family of Agencies for the period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2017, for the provision of Mobile Crisis Response Teams for seriously emotionally disturbed (SED) children and their families.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #74-058-24 will allow the contractor to provide additional Mobile Crisis Response Team services for SED children and their families through December 31, 2017.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, SED children throughout Contra Costa County will have reduced access to Specialty Mental Health Services.

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.
