Subject:Novation Contract #24–773–16 with Milhous Children’s Services, Inc.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24–773–15 with Milhous Children’s Services,
Inc. for the period from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011, which included a six-month
automatic extension through December 31, 2011, for the provision of a day treatment
program and mental health services for Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) adolescents
and latency-age children at Milhous Treatment Ranch.
Approval of Novation Contract #24–773–16 replaces the automatic extension under the
prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30,
2012.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, there will be fewer residential facilities to provide services
required under the Federal Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA) while the County
solicits and engages an alternate contractor.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This EPSDT 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).
