Subject:Novation Contract #24–707–53 with Contra Costa ARC
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
not meet the criteria for any categorical funding source for services.
On January 15, 2013 the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24-707-52 with Contra Costa ARC, for
the period from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013, which included a six-month automatic extension through
December 31, 2013, for the provision of day treatment services for high risk, delayed, or emotionally disturbed
children at the Lynn Center.
Approval of Novation Contract #24–707-53 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract, and allows the
Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2014.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, severely emotionally disturbed children within Contra Costa County will have
reduced access to mental health services as the County solicits and engages an alternative Contractor.
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).
CLERK'S ADDENDUM
Rollie Katz, Public Employees Union Local One commented that it appears that the type of work for this position
could possibly be done by represented employees. Therefore, there should be a discussion with the Union prior to
the final Board vote. This prompted much discussion from Dr. Walker, Health Services Director; Mr. Ted Cwiek,
Human Resources Director; Ms. Sharon Anderson, County Counsel; and several Board members. Supervisor
Mitchoff suggested that future contracts include verbiage that analysts have reviewed the positions to discuss
meet-and-confer requirements with the Union(s).
