SUBJECT: Approval of Novation Contract#74-051-12 with Family Stress Center, Inc. C 7 3
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Donna Wigand) to execute on behalf
of the County, Novation Contract#74-051-12 with Family Stress Center, Inc., a non-profit corporation, in
an amount not to exceed $750,000, to provide Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS), for the period from
July 1, 2006 through June 30, 2007. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through
December 31, 2007, in an amount not to exceed$350,000.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This Contract is funded 50% by Federal FFP Medi-Cal, 47% by State Early and Periodic Screening,
Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT), and 3%by Mental Health Realignment.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This TBS Program supports the following Board of Supervisors community outcomes: "Children ready for
and succeeding in school", "Families that are safe, stable, nurturing"; and "Communities that are safe and
provide a high quality of life for children and families". Expected outcomes include all goals identified by
Children's Statewide System of Care guidelines including an increase in school attendance as measured by
school records, increase in positive social and emotional development as measured by the Child and
Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS), increase in family satisfaction - as measured by the
Parent Satisfaction Survey, decreased use of acute care system, and placement at discharge to a lower level
of care.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
The State Department of Mental Health has been working in collaboration with the County's Mental Health
Division to establish a mandated program to provide TBS to children ages 0-21 years of age, who participate
in the EPSDT Supplemental Specialty Mental Health services. This program will provide services to eligible
Medi-Cal beneficiaries under 21 years of age who meet the Mental Health Plan medical necessity criteria,
who are members of the certified class and who meet the criteria for needing these services.
On December 6, 2005, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract#74-051-11 with Family Stress
Center for the period from July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006, (which included a six-month automatic
extension through December 31, 2006) for the provision of Therapeutic Behavioral Services.
Approval of Novation Contract #74-051-12 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract,
allowing Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2007.
