SUBJECT: Payment to Alameda County for Provision of Psychiatric
Treatment Services for Jail Inmates, and Authorization
for FY 1993-94 Contract Negotiations _
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
A. Authorize the Contra Costa County Auditor-Controller to pay
Alameda County $175, 524, upon approval and submission by the
Health Services Director or his designee of a written demand on
County Demand Form D-15 from Alameda County, for the provision of
psychiatric treatment services for Contra Costa County jail
inmates for the period from July 1, 1992 through June 30, 1993 ;
and
B. Authorize the Health Services Director or his designee to enter
into contract negotiations with Alameda County for the purchase
of psychiatric treatment services for Contra Costa County jail
inmates during Fiscal Year 1993-94, with a contract payment limit
not to exceed $175, 524, to obtain up to 1, 241 patient days of
treatment services in the Criminal Justice Inpatient Unit of
Alameda County's North County Jail.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This payment is totally funded in the Health Services Department
Budget for FY 1992-93 by County/Realignment Funds which were recently
transferred by the State to Contra Costa County's Mental Health
Realignment Trust Fund from Alameda County's Trust Fund.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
Alameda County has been providing psychiatric treatment services for
Contra Costa County jail inmates continuously since FY 1980-81 under
a Regional 302f Criminal Justice Mental Health Program. Under this
Regional Program, Alameda County received directly from the State
certain Short-Doyle Mental Health Funds which were designated to be
used for Contra Costa County jail inmates, i.e. , the funds were
allocated to Contra Costa County, but were given directly by the State
to Alameda County (as the "Host County") to be used on Contra Costa
County's behalf.

Payment to Alameda County
Page 2
Under Mental Health Realignment Clean-Up Legislation (AB14, Bronzan,
Chapter 1374) , approved by the Governor on October 28, 1992, these
Regional 302f funds were transferred to Contra Costa County's Mental
Health Realignment Trust Fund from Alameda County's Trust Fund,
retroactive to July 1, 1992. It has taken a number of months for the
State to actually accomplish the transfer of funds and for the County
to verify the transfer.
In anticipation of payment through this new funding mechansim, Alameda
County has continued to provide psychiatric treatment services for
Contra Costa County inmates since July 1, 1992, and will continue to
do so through June 30, 1993 . While there is presently insufficient
time to process a written contract for FY 1992-93 through the
respective County governments before the Fiscal Year ends, it is
necessary for Contra Costa County to pay Alameda County for these FY
1992-93 services.
Following approval by the Board of Supervisors, the Department will
initiate negotiations for a formal contract with Alameda County for FY
1993-94.
