C�S}A COUiI��J County
SUBJECT: Approval of Novation Contract#24-959-11 with Family Stress Center
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, Novation Contract #24-959-11 with Family Stress Center, a non-profit
corporation, in an amount not to exceed $70,000, to provide mental health services to recipients of
the CalWORKs 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
$35,000.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This Contract is funded 100% by State CalWORKs Funds through the Employment and Human
Services Department.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S)FOR RECOMMENDATION(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.
On January 18,2005,the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract#24-959-10 with Family
Stress Center 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 to Ca1WORKs participants to reduce barriers to employment.
Approval of Novation Contract #24-959-11 replaces the automatic extension under .the prior
Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2006.
