Department of Mental Health, for $1,474,825 in Federal SAMHSA Grant Funds, for the

C. Authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Donna M. Wigand, LCSW) ,
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 $1,474,825
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 1996-97 SAMHSA Grant Renewal Application was reviewed and recommended for
approval by the County's Mental Health Commission at its meeting on October 24, 1996.
The 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 adults and older adults who are seriously and persistently
mentally ill 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 1996-97.
In order to meet the deadline for submission, the document has been forwarded to the
State, but subject to Board approval. Three certified and sealed copies of this Board
Order should be returned to the Contracts and Grants Unit.
