Diablo Unified School District, a government agency, to pay County an amount not to exceed $4,856,378, to provide residential and school-based day treatment and mental health services, for the period from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012. FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of this Interagency Agreement will result in a total payment to the County not to exceed $4,856,378. (No County match required) BACKGROUND: Effective January 1, 2011, educational organizations assumed fiscal responsibility for providing Educationally-Related Mental Health Services (ERMHS), formerly provided under AB 3632, to students who are residing in local and out-of-state residential facilities and students who receive outpatient services in schools and County-operated clinics. Mt. Diablo Unified School District, acting as a designated Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA) Administrative Unit, will APPROVE OTHER RECOMMENDATION OF CNTY ADMINISTRATOR RECOMMENDATION OF BOARD COMMITTEE Action of Board On: 04/03/2012 APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED OTHER Clerks Notes: VOTE OF SUPERVISORS AYE:John Gioia, District I Supervisor Mary N.

ATTESTED: April 3, 2012 David Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: Carrie Del Bonta, Deputy cc: A Down, D Gary C.41 To:Board of Supervisors From:William Walker, M.D., Health Services Director Date:April 3, 2012 Contra Costa County Subject:Interagency Agreement #28–325-1 with Mt. Diablo Unified School District BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) contract with County for mental health services for in-state residential facilities case management services, to include travel and expenses, and outpatient mental health services through subcontracts with community based organizations that currently provide these services to eligible students. This Contract is a renewal of the previous six-month contract. The amount of funding has doubled because of the 12 month term beginning July 1, 2011. This contract request did not go forward July 1, because the MOU was not developed between the County’s SELPA Administrative Units and County’s Mental Health Division during this transitional year. Further, terms of the allocation of AB 100 funding had not been agreed upon by the parties. Under Interagency Agreement #28–325-1, Agency will pay County for the provision of residential and school-based day treatment and mental health services, through June 30, 2012, including mutual indemnification to hold harmless both parties for any claims arising out of the performance of this Contract. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If this agreement is not approved, Agency will not pay County for residential and school-based day treatment and mental health services, so special education students within the Mt. Diablo Unified School District will not receive the mental health services that they need, and as a result, may require treatment at a higher level of service. 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).
