On November 12, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24-928-21 with Fred Finch Youth Center for the period from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2014, for the provision of school-based and residential treatment including therapeutic behavioral services. At the time of negotiations, the payment limit was based on target levels of utilization. Due to increased demand in the Contractor’s school-based and dual diagnosis residential treatment programs, actual usage has exceed these target levels. Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #24-928-22 will allow the Contractor to continue to provide services through June 30, 2014. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If this amendment is not approved, Contractor will not provide SED children within Contra Costa County access to its mental health services resulting in a reduced level of service to the community. 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).
