I
RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Donna Wigand) to execute on
behalf of the County, Novation Contract #74-115-7 with Desarrollo Familiar, Inc., a non-profit
corporation, in an amount not to exceed $63,760, to provide mental health services for Spanish-
speaking recipients of the CaIWORKs Program, for the period from July 1, 2005 through June 30,
2006. This Contract includes)a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2006, in an
amount not to exceed$31,880'
FISCAL IMPACT:
This Contract is 100% funded by State CalWORKS through the Employment and Human Services
Department. I I
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FORRECOMMENDATION(S):
In August 1997, the State of California Legislature passed Assembly Bill 1542 which brought
major changes to the welfare programs previously operated by the State. Among the changes was
a provision that required treatment of substance abuse and mental illnesses of Welfare-to-Work
participants, when these conditions interfere with participation in Welfare-to-Work activities.
Subsequently, the County's Employment and Human Services Department and Health Services
Department signed an Interdepartmental Services Agreement (#21-427), which allowed the
Health Services Department to provide substance abuse and mental health services to Welfare-to-
Work participants referred by the Employment and Human Services Department.
I
On December 7, 2004, The Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-115-5 (as amended by
#74-115-6) with Desarrollo Familiar, Inc., for the period from July 1, 2004 through June 30, 2005
(which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2005) for the provision
of mental health services, including individual, group and family collateral counseling, case
management, and medication management services for Spanish-speaking CaIWORKS participants
to reduce barriers to employment.
Approval of Novation Contract#74-115-7 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract
and allows the Contractor to continue to provide services through June 30, 2006.
