Subject:Novation Contract #24-920-17 with Fred Finch Youth Center
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
and high school aged children and their families.
In March 2011, the County Administrator approved and Purchasing Services Manager
executed, Contract #24-920-15 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #24-920-16) with
Fred Finch Children’s Home, Inc. (dba Fred Finch Youth Center, and now known legally as
Fred Finch Youth Center), 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
day treatment and mental health services for Seriously Emotionally Disturbed children.
Approval of Novation Contract #24-920-17 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 day treatment and mental health services
available to SED children as the County solicits and engages an alternate contractor. This
delay may result in higher levels of treatment.
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).
