RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #24–773–24 with Mountain Valley Child and Family Services, Inc., a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,148,876 to provide a day treatment program, mental health services, and therapeutic behavioral services (TBS), for the period July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2018 in an amount not to exceed $574,438.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is funded 50% by Federal Medi-Cal and 50% by Mental Health Realignment. (3% Cost of Living Adjustment)

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing mental health day treatment for wards of the court which will reduce the need for hospitalization.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On September 13, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24–773–22, as amended by Contract Amendment Agreement #24-773-23 and #24-773-25, with Mountain Valley Child and Family Services, Inc., formerly known as Milhous Children’s Services, Inc., 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 a day treatment program, TBS, and mental health services for Seriously Emotionally Disturbed adolescents and latency-age children.

Approval of Novation Contract #24–773–24 replaces the automatic extension under the prior contract and allows the contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2018.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, there will be fewer placement options for clients that require day treatment 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.
