RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #24–315–50 with Young Men’s Christian Association of the East Bay, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $785,710, including changes to the county standard indemnification clause, to provide on-site school-based mental health services to Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) youth in select middle schools in West Contra Costa Unified School District, for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2019, in an amount not to exceed $392,855.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Novation Contract is funded 47% Federal Medi-Cal; 47% Mental Health Realignment; 6% Non Medi-Cal Mental Health Realignment. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing counseling and therapy services for emotionally disturbed youth in selected junior high schools in the West Contra Costa Unified School District to impact attendance records and decrease the use of acute mental health system-of-care services.

On June 7, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24–315–49 with Young Men’s Christian Association of the East Bay, for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2018, for the provision of on-site school-based mental health services for SED youth in West Contra Costa County junior high schools.

Approval of Novation Contract #24–315–50 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows Contractor to continue providing mental health services through June 30, 2019. This contract includes modifications to County’s standard indemnification provision.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, there will be fewer school and community-based services in West Contra Costa County for SED youth, which may result in the need for acute Mental Health system-of-care 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 (CAFAS).
