Subject:Novation Contract #24–308-42 with Early Childhood Mental Health Program
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
On August 6, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24 308-41 with Early Childhood Mental
Health Program 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 specialized mental health services to children and their
families.
Approval of Novation Contract #24 308-42 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the
Contractor to continue providing mental health services, including in-home behavioral health services and intensive
care coordination, through June 30, 2015.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, there will be fewer mental health services provided to families in West Contra Costa
County.
