Subject:Novation Contract #74–379–4 with People Who Care Children Association
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Contract #74–379-3 with People Who Care Children Association, 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 MHSA
prevention and early intervention services.
Approval of Novation Contract #74–379–4 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, at-risk youth from East Contra Costa County will have reduced access to job training
and other programs aimed at increasing educational success due to delayed implementation of the Youth
Development Program as defined in the Mental Health Services Act.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This MHSA-PEI program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “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 increases in social connectedness, communication skills, parenting
skills, and knowledge of the human service system in Contra Costa County.
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).
