SUBJECT; Approval Of Novation Contract 424-396-3 with Diane Frary
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute on behalf of the
County, Novation Contract 424-396-3 with Diane Frary in the
amount of $53 ,000. for the period July 1 , 1988 through June 30 ,
1989 for provision of consultation and technical assistance to
complete a mental health planning process for determining
service priorities . This document includes a three-month
automatic extension from June 30, 1989 through September 30 ,
1989 in the amount of $13 , 250 .
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT :
This contract is fully funded in the Health Services Department
Budget with 90% State Short-Doyle Mental Health funds and 10%
County matching funds .
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
In FY 1987-88, the Alcohol/Drug Abuse/Mental Health . Division
initiated a major planning and service reorganization effort in
response to the growing disparity between service demand and
resource availability in the County' s mental health system. The
Division is in the process of finalizing a proposal to the Board
of Supervisors regarding the priority populations to be served
and necessary service reorganization.
Under contract 424-396-2 , Diane Frary has provided technical
assistance and consultation required to conduct this activity.
Novation Contract #24-396-3 with Diane Frary is necessary to
conclude this complex planning process during an appropriate
time frame . In addition , this contract provides support
services to the Mental Health Advisory Board and coordinates
training for the mental health program.
Continuation of these contract services as an exception to the
freeze is necessary to prevent disruption of Advisory Board
activities and Division efforts to plan for changing service
needs with reduced resources . The Department is in the process
of creating a personnel position to replace this Contractor and
anticipates that the position will be in place during this
fiscal year . This contract will be terminated wh the new
position is filled .
