I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
A.. Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Lorna
Bastian) to submit the Federal SAMHSA Grant Renewal Application to the State
Department of Mental Health, for $1,596,029 in Federal SAMHSA Grant Funds, for the
period from July 1, 1994 through June 30, 1995, to continue Federal Grant-funded
mental health services.

execute, on behalf of the County, the following application documents: Initial
Allocation Worksheet; Program Narrative Description; Assurance of Compliance with
Public Law 102-321; Certifications (regarding lobbying, salary rate cap and drug
free work environment) ; and Grant Planning Estimate.
C. Authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Lorna Bastian) , to
make minor changes in said Application, as may be requested by the State, to
maintain compliance with State and Federal requirements.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The SAMHSA Grant Renewal Application describes service program changes which are
necessary for the County to remain eligible to continue to receive this $1,596,029
Federal Grant Allocation, and presents a plan and detailed provider budgets for
use of these funds. No County matching funds are required.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
The FY 1994-95 SAMHSA Grant Renewal Application was reviewed and recommended for
approval by the County's Mental Health Commission. at its meeting on October 27,
1994.
This year's Federal "Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration"
(SAMHSA) Grant Program utilizes the Federal Grant funds for integrated systems of
care to serve the target populations of seriously and persistently mentally ill
(SPMI) adults and seriously emotionally disturbed (SED) children and youth.
While approval of this document does not obligate the County to make any
expenditures, submission and approval by the State are required in order for the
County to receive these Federal Grant Funds from the State in FY 1994-95.
In order to meet the deadline for submission, the document has been forwarded to
the State, but subject to Board approval. Three sealed copies f this Board Order
should be returned to the Contracts and Grants Unit.
