DATE. November 28, 1988 County
SUBJECT; Approval of FY 1988-89 Novation Contract 4624-238-14 with
Mental Health 'Consumer Concerns, Inc. to provide Patients '
Rights Advocacy and Client Self-help Services
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION :
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute on behalf of the
County, Novation Contract 4624-238-14 with Mental Health Consumer
Concerns , Inc : in the amount of $121 , 461 for the period July 1 ,
1988 through June 30 , 1989 for provision of patients ' rights
advocacy services , including representation at "Doe-Gallinot"
Certification Review Hearings , and client self-help services .
This document 'lincludes a six-month automatic contract extension
from June 30 , 1989 through December 31 , 1989 in the amount of
$60 , 730 .
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT :
This contract 'Iis fully funded in the Health Services Department
Budget for 1988-89 (Org . 465942 ) , including a $3 , 579 cost-of-
living increase which was provided by the Board of Supervisors
for contractor ' s employee salaries and wage-related cost
increases . The contract payment limit is funded 100% by County
funding.
Although this, is a State-mandated service under AB 3454 , the
State has not provided funding for the Certification Review
Hearing Services and , therefore , it is currently funded entirely
by County funds . Our attempts to obtain State reimbursement
under SB 90 for the AB 3454 mandated Certification Review
Hearing Services have thus far been unsuccessful.
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND :
This contractor has been providing these mental health program
services under' an automatic extension of the FY 1987-88 Contract
4624-238-12 (as amended by Contract Amendment Agreement
#24-238-13 ) . q Novation Contract 4624-238-14 replaces the six-
month automatic extension under the prior contract .
The provision of Patients ' Rights Information and Advocacy
Services enables the County to maintain required services
including Doe-Gallinot Certification Review Hearing Representa-
tion , Title 9lGeneral Advocacy Services , as well as client self-
help promotional outreach activities .11
