#74-070-10
BACKGROUND/REASON(S)FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
This Contract meets the social needs of County's population in that it provides mental health day
treatment for SED adolescents to reduce the need for hospitalization.
On November 27, 2007, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-070-9 with
FamiliesFirst, Inc., for the period from July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008, which included a six-
month automatic extension through December 31, 2008, for the provision of an intensive day
treatment program for Seriously Emotionally Disturbed(SED) adolescents.
Approval of Novation Contract #74-070-10 replaces the automatic extension under the prior
Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2009.
