TO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OVA), � C4 40
FROM: Mark Finucane' Health Services Director ContraBy: Elizabeth A. Spooner, Contracts Administrator
Costa
DATE: March 13, 1986 COU*
SUBJECT; Approval of Novation Contract 424-351-3 with V(�r 'l�/
La Cheim Residential Treatment Centers
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute on behalf of the County, Novation
Contract # 24-351-3 with La Cheim Residential Treatment Centers in the amount of
$184,000 for the period November 11 1985 through June 30, 1986, for start up and.
operation of a six-bed residential treatment program for mentally and emotionally
disturbed adolescents (including provision for an automatic six-month extension
from June 30, 1986 through December 31, 1986, in the amount of $125,000) .
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This contract is funded in the Alcohol/Drug Abuse/Mental Health Division Budget by
the new State Short-Doyle mental health augmentation money that the County has .
received from the State Department of Mental Health for FY 1985-86, as follows:
$161,100 - State Short-Doyle Funding
17,900 - County Matching Funds
51000 - Security Deposits (County Asset)
$184,000 - Contract Payment Limit
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
Children's mental health clinics have long waiting lists of adolescents in need of
residential treatment . In a county the size of Contra Costa, a minimum of 18 resi-
dential beds is needed to serve severely disturbed adolescents. There are four
residential beds currently available. This Novation Contract provides for the
start up and operation of a six-bed treatment facility in Contra Costa County.
Presently, the majority of disturbed adolescents must be sent to Napa State
Hospital. Approval of the La Cheim Residential Treatment Centers Contract will
reduce our utilization of Napa beds which is currently the highest per capita in
the State. It will also provide residential treatment in the community closer to
the families, and should enable the adolescents to return home in a much shorter
period of time than if sent to Napa State Hospital. This Novation Contract
424-351-3 replaces the Interim Contract 424-351 that was approved by the Board on
October 29, 1985, and also replaces the subsequently approved Contract Extension
Agreements 424-351-1 and #24-351-2 which extended the Interim Contract through
March 31, 1986.
