#74-017-8
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
This Contract meets the social needs of County's population in that it provides mental health
services for high-risk children and adolescents with emotional and behavioral problems to address
issues of physical, sexual, emotional, and substance abuse; gang involvement; academic skills; and
family issues, and to improve school performance, reduce unsafe behavioral practices, and reduce
the need for out-of-home placements.
On July 26, 2005, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract#74-017-6 with STARS, Inc. for the
period from July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006, (with a six-month automatic extension through
December 31, 2006) for the provision of mental health services for Seriously Emotionally Disturbed
(SED) Children.
Approval of Novation Contract #74-017-8 replaces the automatic extension under the prior
Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2007.
