suBJEcr; Approval of FY 1987-88 Federal Block Grant (West County CMHC)
Renewal Application as an Amendment to the County Short-Doyle
Annual Plan for Mental Health Services ( Part A)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION :
A. Approve the FY 1987-88 Federal Block Grant Renewal
Application as an amendment to the FY 1987-88 Contra Costa
County Short-Doyle Annual Plan for Mental Health Services
(Part A) to continue funding for the West County Community
Mental Health Center (CMHC) , and
B . Authorize the Health Services Director or his designee
( Stuart McCullough) to submit said Renewal Application to
the State Department of Mental Health , and
C . Assure compliance with Federal Requirements set forth as
Attachment II (Assurance of Compliance with Federal
Requirements on Use of Allotments) in said Renewal
Application .
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT :
Under the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings (Federal Deficit Reduction) Act ,
the County ' s FY 1986-87 Federal Block Grant funding for the West
County Community Mental Health Center (CMHC) was reduced by
6 . 95% from the previous year ' s allocation . This reduction from
$19499 , 400 (FY 1985-86 level) to $1 , 395 , 192 (FY 1986-87 level) ,
in the amount of $104 , 208 , was funded by FY 1986-87 Mental
Health Short-Doyle augmentation monies (MH COLA and equity
adjustment) . This avoided a reduction in service level at that
time .
Of the 6 . 95% Gramm-Rudman reduction last year , approximately
five percent (5%) , or $75 , 756 , has been restored for FY 1987-88 .
The new Federal Block Grant funding level for FY 1987-88 is
$1 , 470 , 948 . No County matching funds are required .
While approval of this FY 1987-88 Federal Block Grant Renewal
Application does not obligate the County to make any expen-
ditures , submission of the Renewal Application and approval by
the State are required for the County to continue to receive
Block Grant payments .

Board Order

III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND :
Because of recent State budgetary and fiscal reporting require-
ments for Federal Block Grant funding , some restructuring of
West County CMHC funded services has occurred for FY 1987-88 .
This restructuring of programs funded by the Federal Block Grant
is for the purpose of better and tighter fiscal control . By
grouping those programs that can be primarily charged to the
Federal Block Grant , we anticipate better monitoring and
reporting management . Therefore , as much as possible this year ,
we have attempted to fund programs that do not have multiple-
funding sources , so that the benefits and results of Federal
Block Grant funds can be clearly and directly documented . The
Knolls Outreach Program and Richmond Crisis/Psychiatric
Emergency Service have now been discontinued from partial Block
Grant funding , and four programs that were previously funded
under the Short-Doyle allocation are now being funded primarily
by the Federal Block Grant as follows :
1 . West County Preschool Mental Health Team/Outreach Program
operated under contract with Early Childhood Mental Health
Program, Inc . ;
2 . Rubicon/Gayles West County Semi-Supervised Independent
Housing (Transitional Apartments ) Program, jointly operated
by County staff (support services) and Rubicon Programs ,
Inc . (administration services) ;
3 . Rubicon Independent Living Outreach Program operated under
contract with Rubicon Programs , Inc . ; and
4 . West County YMCA Junior High School Outreach Program
operated under contract with the YMCA of West Contra Costa .
This Renewal Application has been reviewed and recommended for
approval by the County ' s Mental Health Advisory Board at its
meeting on July 23 , 1987 (as shown by the Mental Health Advisory
Board letter dated July 24, 1987 which is included in the Renewal
Application) .
