RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute on behalf of the County, Contract #24-396-4 with Diane Frary in the amount of $26, 000 for the period July 1, 1989 through June 30, 1990 for provision of consultation and technical assistance to: 1) complete a mental health planning process for determining service priorities; 2) coordinate Mental Health Advisory Board activities; 3) coordinate the Alcohol/Drug Abuse/Mental Health Division Internship and Training Program; and 4) provide technical assistance with researching and writing the mandated Short-Doyle Annual Plan. II. FINANCIAL IMPACT: This contract is fully funded in the Health Services Department Budget with 90% State Short-Doyle Mental Health funds and 10% County matching funds (Org. #5941) . This $26, 000 contract payment limit represents a $27, 000 reduction compared to the $53 , 000 FY 88-89 contract amount. This reduction is part of the Health Services Department's FY 89-90 budget reduction for the Alcohol/Drug Abuse/ Mental Health Division. III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND: In FY 1987-88, the Alcohol/Drug Abuse/Mental Health Division initiated a major planning and service reorganization effort in response to the growing disparity between service demand and resource availability in the County's mental health system. The Division is in the process of finalizing a proposal to the Board of Supervisors regarding the priority populations to be served and necessary service reorganizations. Under Contract #24-396-31 Diane Frary has provided technical assistance and consultation required to conduct this activity. Novation Contract #24-396-4 with Diane Frary is necessary to conclude this complex planning process. In addition, this contract provides support services to the Mental Health Advisory Board and coordinates training for the mental health program.
