RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract Amendment Agreement #74-058-27 with Seneca Family of Agencies, a non-profit corporation, effective April 1, 2019, to amend Novation Contract #74-058-26, to increase the payment limit by $400,540, from $8,644,842 to a new payment limit of $9,045,382, with no change in the original term of July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019, and to increase the automatic extension payment limit by $200,270, from $4,322,421 to a new automatic extension payment limit of $4,522,691, with no change in the automatic extension term through December 31, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Amendment is funded by 49% Federal Medi-Cal, 38% Mental Health Realignment, 8% Mt. Diablo Unified School District and 5% Employment and Human Services Department. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On December 18, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-058-26 with Seneca Family of Agencies for the provision of Mobile Crisis Response Teams for seriously emotionally disturbed (SED) children and their families, for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2019.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #74-058-27 will allow the Contractor to provide additional services through December 31, 2019.

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 (CAFAS).
