Subject:Novation Contract #24–315–45 with Young Men’s Christian Association of the East Bay
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
On January 8, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24–315–44 with Young Men’s Christian
Association of the East Bay, 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 on-school-site counseling services for
emotional and behavioral disturbed students in West County Junior High Schools.
Approval of Novation Contract #24–315–45, replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract, allows
Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2014.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, there will be fewer school and community-based services in West County for
seriously emotionally disturbed youth, which may result in the need for acute Mental Health system-of-care services.
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).
