SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION(S) :
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director or his designee (Donna Wigand) to
execute on behalf of the County, Intercounty Services Contract #24-889-5 with Alameda
County (for its Health Care Services Agency/Mental Health Services) to provide psychiatric
treatment services for seriously emotionally disturbed and behaviorally disordered
adolescents, for the period from July 1, 2001 through June 30, 2002, to be paid at the
following rates:
$221 per day for each Medi-Cal eligible client
$442 per day for each non-Medi-Cal eligible client
This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2002 .
FISCAL IMPACT:
This Contract is funded 100% by Mental Health Realignment.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This Mental Health Program supports the following Board of Supervisors community outcomes:
"Children Ready for and Succeeding in School" , "Families that are Safe, Stable and
Nurturing" , and "Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children
and Families" . Expected program outcomes include an increase in positive social and
emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale
(CAFAS) and placement at discharge to a lower level of care.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S) :
Under this Intercounty Services Contract, Alameda County will provide up to four beds for
the Subacute Treatment for Adolescents with Rehabilitation Services (STARS) Program for
County-referred adolescents who would otherwise be hospitalized at Napa State Hospital.
These STARS Program clients receive residential care, intensive day treatment, non-public
school education, and acute psychiatric health facility services, as required.
Alameda County has requested to be held harmless and indemnified as part of their standard
for approval of the Agreement with the County. In the view of County Risk Management this
indemnification will create a minimal potential loss. The Health Services Department
desires to expedite approval of the Agreement as written.
On March 6, 2001, the Board of Supervisors approved Intercounty Services Contract #24-889-4
with Alameda County, for the period from July 1, 2000 through June 30, 2001, (which
included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2001) for the provision of
psychiatric treatment services. Approval of Intercounty Services Agreement #24-889-5 will
replace the six-month automatic extension under the prior Contract and allow the Contractor
to continue providing services through June 30, 2002 .
