On October 22, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74–315–8 with Community Options for Families and Youth, Incorporated 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 TBS and Multisystemic Behavioral Therapy.
