SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION :.
Approve and authorize the Chair to execute on behalf of the
County, Standard Contract 424--447 with Mara Teitel , M. S .W. , in
the amount of $30 , 000 for the period November 9 , 1987 -- June 30,
1988 , for consultation and technical assistance with regard to
County ' s geriatric mental health outreach activities .
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT :
. Funds for this contract are budgeted in the Health Services
Department ' s FY 1987-88 Budget , and the sources of funding are
90% State Target Supplemental Funds (Elderly) and 10% County.
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND :
In April 1987 , the Health Services Department held a public
hearing on "Provision of Long Term Care to Medi-Cal Elderly :
Whose Responsibility. " A recommendation from the public hearing
was that a conference on long term care be held in Contra Costa
County. This conference idea was submitted in a proposal to the
State Department of Mental Health which was subsequently
approved and funded .
Last fiscal year the Alcohol/Drug Abuse/Mental Health Division
was awarded Target Supplemental Funds to provide education and
training on the use of psychotropic medications in residential
care facilities for the elderly (RFEs) in Contra Costa County.
This project revealed a fragmented system of RFEs in this
County, and the A/DA/MH Division, via Geriatric Services , sub-
sequently organized residential care administrators who now hold
monthly meetings for purposes of education/training .

There is need for an up-to--date clearinghouse of information
about RFEs to facilitate appropriate placements by . hospitals ,
family members , and others . As a result of a proposal submitted
to the State Department of Mental Health to develop this county-

Supplemental Funds (Elderly) [ 1986-87 Rollover Funds for use in
1987-88 ] .
Contract 424-447 provides for expertise in coordinating the con-
ference on long term care and in developing and implementing the
