Page 2
The Department has received from the State Department of Health
Services a verbal commitment that the Department . has been
awarded an additional $27 , 100 to fund the services described
above , and a draft amendment agreement with the augmented budget
attached . No additional County contribution is anticipated .
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONSIBACKGROUND:
On September 15 , 1987 the Board approved Contract 429--353-,1
( Standard Agreement #86-•89791 ) with the State Department of
Health Services for the period June 1 , 1987 through June 30 ,
1988 , to implement an AIDS Case Management and Attendant Care
Project which is operated within Public Health Division' s AIDS
Program. This funding enabled the Department to establish
centralized case management for AIDS and ARC patients , a data
collection and service tracking system to study cost of care ,
and home attendant care services .
The State recently advised the Department verbally that the
Contract is being amended to increase the scope of services pro-
vided under the case management component to include assistance
to clients with regard to necessities of life such as food ,
housing , and transportation , and to increase funding for these
additional services . The State has sent the Department a draft
amendment agreement , to be effective January 1 , 1988 , and
expects to complete the final amendment within a few weeks .
The AIDS Program has implemented many of the services described
in the Contract Scope of Work, including the selection of a Case
Manager , and the original funding has not yet been depleted .
Since there are clients with immediate need for the additional
services described in the State ' s draft amendment , the
Department is requesting that the Auditor-Controller be
authorized to disburse funds as described in Section I .
(Recommended Action) of this Board Order , pending approval by
the Board of the State ' s contract amendment .
