Subject:Novation Contract #24–928–21 with Fred Finch Youth Center
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
On January 8, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24–928–19 (as amended by Contract
Amendment Agreement #24-928-20) with Fred Finch Youth Center, 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
school-based day treatment and mental health services for students in the Mt. Diablo Unified School District.
Approval of Novation Contract #24–928–21 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, SED children within the Mt. Diablo Unified School District will not receive the
school-based day treatment and mental health services that they need and may require higher and more costly levels
of treatment.
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
