SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Haven Fearn) to execute on
behalf of the County, Novation Contract #24-948-16 with New Connections, a non-profit
corporation, in an amount not to exceed $462,000 to provide substance abuse and mental health
services for CalWORKs program participants for the period from July 1, 2007 through June 30,
2008. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2008, in an
amount not to exceed $231,000.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This Contract is funded 100% by the State of California Work Opportunities and Responsibilities
to Kids (CalWORKs) through the Employment and Human Services Department.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
This Contract meets the social needs of County's population in that it provides outpatient
perinatal intensive day treatment services and assessments and pre-treatment and pre-sobriety
services for substance abusing and mentally ill participants in the CalWORKs program to help
eliminate barriers to employment.
On January 9, 2007, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24-948-15 with
New Connections, for the period from July 1, 2006 through June 30, 2007, which included a six-
month automatic extension through December 31, 2007, for the provision of substance abuse and
mental health services for CalWORKs program participants.
Approval of Novation Contract #24-948-16 replaces the automatic extension under the prior
Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2008.
