BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
need for crisis services and involvement with the Juvenile Justice System.
On January 12, 2010, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24–409–28 with The West Contra
Costa Youth Services Bureau, for the period from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010, which included a six-month
automatic extension through December 31, 2010, for the provision of wraparound services to SED children.
Approval of Novation Contract #24–409–29 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the
Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2011.

result in higher levels of care.
