RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Donna Wigand) ', to execute on behalf of the County, Contract #24-870-1 with Fred Finch Youth Center, in the amount of $65, 800, for the period from July 1, 1997 through June 30, 1998, for provision of intensive residential treatment services for the Young Adult Program. II. FINANCIAL IMPACT: This Contract is funded by County/Realignment 100%. III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND: On December 10, 1996, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24-870 with Fred Finch Youth Center for the period from September 23 , 1996 through June 30, 1997 , to provide residential treatment for severely emotionally disturbed young adults as an alternative to hospitalization at Napa State Hospital. In September, 1996, the Department placed a client in the Fred Finch Youth Center for intensive residential treatment. The client continues to need this level of care and still resides in the program. Services beyond June 30, 1997 were both requested by County staff and provided by the Contractor in good faith. However, completion of a formal renewal contract with the Contractor was delayed due to an administrative oversight. Approval of this Contract will avoid the high cost of hospitalization and allow the client to learn independent living skills, which also helps keep the client stabilized and in the community.
