By: Elizabeth A. Spooner, Contracts Administrator Costa
DATE: December 7, 1989 County
suBJEC4pproval of Novation Contract #24-133-23 with La Cheim School, Inc. for
Intensive Day Treatment Program Services for Children and Adolescents
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director or his designee
(Stuart McCullough) to execute on behalf of the County, Novation
Contract #24-133-23 with La Cheim School, Inc. , upon approval of the
Contract document by the County Administrator or his designee, in the
amount of $668,265 for the period July 1, 1989 through June 30, 1990
for provision of intensive day treatment services in a school setting
for mentally disturbed children and adolescents. This document
includes a six-month automatic contract extension from June 30, 1990
through December 31, 1990 in the amount of $334 , 132 . This contract is
for a one-year period because program changes are being evaluated which
will affect both treatment services and funding mechanisms and which
may require significant changes in the contract in FY 1990-91.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This contract is funded in the Health Services Department Budget for
FY 1989-90 (Org. #5952) . The Contract Payment Limit includes a
$113 , 567 increase consisting of a $27, 510 shift of funding from (and
corresponding decrease in) Contract #24-351-10 (La Cheim Residential
Treatment Centers, Inc. ) and an $86, 057 increase in Federal Medi-Cal
funding due to an expansion of Contractor's intensive day treatment
program for Medi-Cal eligible clients. This increase in federal
funding serves to maximize the Federal Medi-Cal revenues which are
available at no additional cost to the County.
This contract places the contractor at risk for serving a sufficient
number of federally-eligible clients to earn the Federal Medi-Cal
revenue shown below in the intensive day treatment program budget. The
Contract Payment Limit is funded by Federal Medi-Cal funds, State
Short-Doyle Mental Health funds, and County funds, estimated as
follows:
$195,828 Federal Medi-Cal Funding
367, 661 State Short-Doyle Mental Health Funding
104 , 776 County Funding
$668,265 Total Contract Fiscal Year Payment Limit

The payment limit set forth above does not include any cost-of-living
increase for Fiscal Year 1989-90. In the event that the Board of
Supervisors authorizes a cost-of-living adjustment expressly for this
contract before December 31, the fiscal year payment limit for this
contract may be modified by a written Administrative Amendment executed
by the contractor and the County Administrator, or his designee, to
reflect any such cost-of-living increase, except that this provision
shall not be construed to require agreement to any such increase.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
This contractor has been providing these mental health program services
under an automatic extension of the FY 1988-89 Contract #24-133-21 (as
amended by Contract Amendment Agreement #24-133-22) . Novation Contract
#24-133-23 replaces the six-month automatic extension under the prior
contract.
Approval of this contract will allow the continued provision of
intensive day treatment for mentally and emotionally disturbed children
and adolescents.
The program maintains an ongoing census of approximately 47 youth for
the County and serves approximately 60 minors per year. This contract
will also provide the mental health day treatment services which are
required by the Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) for some Special
Education Pupils (SEP) under AB 3632 .
