SUBJECT: Mental Health Services--"California Model"
The Board on June 5, 1984 having requested the County Administrator to
submit a report describing the "California Model" for determining appropriate
service levels for mental health services and the implications of endorsing
Riverside County's request that we urge the State to adopt a five-year program
for its implementation; and
The County Administrator having submitted his report noting that to
implement the "California Model" in Contra Costa County would require that State
and local mental health expenditures be doubled; that statewide it would require
more than $1 billion to implement the California Model", and that while the
"California Model" is an appropriate goal toward which we should move, but that
a five-year period for implementation is unrealistic, and that equitable funding
between counties is a more pressing objective;
IT IS BY THE BOARD ORDERED that:
1 . Contra Costa County endorses the "California Model" as an
appropriate goal toward which the County, ,the State, and the
mental health community should move;
2. Contra Costa County calls on all counties, the California
Legislature, the Governor of California, and the County
Supervisors Association of California, to take immediate steps
to equalize mental health funding among counties by eventually
bringing al,l counties' per capita allocation of State mental
health funds up to the level of the county having the highest
per capita allocation;
3. The issue of equitable funding among counties is referred to the
Internal Operations Committee (Supervisors Powers and Fanden) to
review and make further recommendations to the Board.
I hereby certify that this Is a true and correct copy of
an action taken and entered on the minutes of the
Board of SupervMAI
on the date shown.
