Health Services Department County
DATE: March 12, 1997
SUBJECT: SB-1255 Medi-Cal Contract
SPECIFIC REQUESTS(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Health Services Director to transfer a maximum of$8,000,000 to the State of California as authorized under SB-
1255.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Merrithew Memorial Hospital will be eligible for a maximum of $8.0 million in matching Federal funds. See background
information for full discussion.
BACKGROUND:
On March 3, 1996, the Board approved the transfer of$8,000,000 to the State of California as authorized under SB-1255.
Federal grants to the States for the Medicaid program (Medi-Cal in California) are authorized under Title XIX of the Social
Security Act to provide medical assistance to certain persons with low income. These Medicaid programs are jointly financed
by the Federal and State governments and administered by the States. State Medicaid agencies conduct their programs
according to the Medicaid State plan approved by the Administrator of the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA). To
carry out the Medicaid program, the State agency pays providers for medical care and services provided to eligible Medicaid
recipients.
The Federal government pays its share of Medicaid program expenses to the State on a quarterly basis according to a formula.
The State share of Medicaid program expenses is paid from"State funds", that is, those funds over which the State legislature
has unrestricted power of appropriation. In California, the program"split" is 50% Federal financing, 50% State financing.
SB-1255 (Chapter 996, Statutes of 1989) added Section 14085.6 to the Welfare and Institutions Code and established a
program whereby certain voluntary transfers and donations will be utilized by the State to provide funds to disproportionate
share hospitals to assist them in enhancing or maintaining access for Medi-Cal beneficiaries. This program is similar in nature
to those established in Tennessee and other states.
These voluntary transfers would be used to match Federal dollars under the Medi-Cal program, thereby increasing the total
revenue base available for distribution (i.e., $1 donation will generate $1 in Federal funding back to the disproportionate
hospitals).
Merrithew Memorial Hospital is one of the one hundred twenty-seven (127) disproportionate hospitals eligible for
reimbursement under this program.
The California Medical Assistance Commission (CMAC) is responsible for administration of SB-1255. The Commission
solicits the donations and distributes the funds collected through the Medi-Cal contracting processing.

ISSUES:
Issue 1: The State SB-1255 Plan may be disallowed at the Federal level.
Discussion: If a disallowance were to occur, some part of the "increased" Federal share might be required to be
reimbursed.
Issue 2: Facilities which make a "voluntary" donation are not guaranteed of a return of either the matching Federal
funds or the donation itself.
Discussion: SB-1255 is intended to provide a workable program. If the most"needy"facilities in the State make donations
and do not receive back, at a minimum, $1.50 for each$1.00 in donation,the program will fail. While, because
of Federal restrictions, the State cannot guarantee the return of the transferred funds, it is the intent of the
program that no"donating"facility will be disadvantaged.
To date, the Medi-Cal Commission has held nine rounds of voluntary donations and supplemental contract negotiations.
Merrithew has voluntarily contributed a total of $22,750,000; supplemental Medi-Cal contract payments have been
$39,300,000.

III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND
On December 3, 1996 the Board approved a grant application for California Mentor Initiative
(CMI) funding (County #39-835-1). Though the County was not granted the proposal's
requested $98,350, the California Department of Community Services and Development is
funding the County in the amount of$55,000.
The Governor created the CMI with the specific mission to provide support and guidance to
low-income youth in at-risk conditions through adult mentors. Desired goals as a result of the
CMI are to reduce alcohol/drug use, teen pregnancy, educational failure, gang participation,
and violence.
The Department is acting as the lead agency of the Contra Costa Mentoring Collaborative
(Collaborative) which includes the above-listed community-based organizations. The
Department will be responsible for oversight of overall CMI program implementation.
Approximately 40 at-risk youth will be matched with adult mentors through the Collaborative.

1. PROJECT/PROGRAM TITLE. Contra Costa Mentoring Collaborative
(Collaborative).
2. FUNDING AGENCY. California Department of Community Services and

3. SUBMITTAL STATUS. Grant award for funding of Collaborative's mentoring
program from April 1, 1997 through May 31, 1998.
4. PROPOSED TERM. April 1, 1997 through May 31, 1998. This is one-time funding
from the State.
5. CURRENT FUNDING. This is State funding in the amount of$55,000.
6. FUTURE FUNDING. Future funding is dependent upon appropriation by the State
Legislature and approval by the Governor. If California Mentor Initiative (CMI)
funding becomes available again, the Collaborative will consider submitting another
funding proposal based upon the mentoring program's success.
7. BUDGET SUMMARY.
Bay Area Community Resources $13,313
Court Appointed Special Representative Program 13,313
New Connections 13,313
Neighborhood House of North Richmond 13,313
Community Services Department Administration lata
TOTAL PROGRAM $55,000
8. STAFFING REQUIREMENTS. The administrative services consultant will be
responsible for program oversight of this Collaborative. Subcontractors will employ
their own staff to ensure program implementation.
9. PROGRAM NEED. Approximately 25% of the County's population is under the age
of 18. In the past decade, the County's Latino population increased by 62% while its
1
c. 79
Asian/Pacific Islander population grew by 156%. The County's juvenile population
ages 12-17 is expected to continue increasing significantly over the next 10 years from
74,1995 to approximately 89,111 in 2005. According to the County Probation
Department's 1996 Contra Costa County Juvenile Profile Trends study, the number of
juvenile felony arrests increased between 1985 and 1994 by 14% from 1,860 to 2,121,
respectively. Juvenile violent crime increased during the same period by 89% from 286
to 549, respectively. In addition, 88% of youth incarcerated at the County's Juvenile
Hall and the Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation Facility are violent or serious offenders;
77% have histories of drug and/or alcohol use; and 82% have school problems such as
dropping-out, violence, poor attendance records, suspension, expulsion, etc.
Social development theory (Webs & Hawkins, 1981), integrates several delinquency
theories and concludes that successful gang-prevention efforts must teach age-
appropriate socialization skills and must provide opportunities for youth involvement in
conventional, pro-social activities, and interaction with positive role models.
10. RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PROGRAMS. The Court Appointed Special
Representative Program (CASR) currently works within the juvenile court system,
Social Service Department, Probation Department, and County Office of Education.
CASR and New Connections (NC) are expected to work together to provide mentors in
Central and East County and training of their area's adult mentor volunteers.
Neighborhood House of North Richmond (NHNR) currently contracts with the
Community Development Department for Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funding. NHNR and Bay Area Community Resources (BACR) are expected to
work together in West County and coordinate training of their adult mentor volunteers
as well.
11. PROJECT GOALS. The Collaborative hopes to facilitate age-appropriate
socialization skills for the at-risk youth (mentees) matched through this program as well
as create opportunities for youth involvement in conventional, pro-social activities, and
interaction with positive adult role-models.
12. STATED OBJECTIVES. To match 40 mentees throughout Contra Costa County with
adult mentors. Specifically, 20 matches will be made in West County, 10 in Central
County, and 10 in East County.
13. ACTIVITY SUMMARY. NC will be responsible for matching 10 mentees from East
County: five attending Riverview Middle School and five attending Hillview Middle
School. CASR's matches will not be site-specific since it will receive its mentees from
the juvenile court system. NHNR will be responsible for matching 10 mentees who
currently attend Verde Elementary School in Richmond. BACR will also be responsible
for matching mentees from West County: five attending Helms Middle School and five
attending Portola Middle School. It is hoped that NHNR mentees graduating from
2
Verde Elementary to Helms or Portola Middle Schools will transition into BACR's
component of the program.
14. EVALUATION METHOD(S). Based upon quarterly reports submitted to the State
indicating the number of matches made and the degree of mentee progress, the
Collaborative will be able to measure its effectiveness. Mentee progress will measured
in terms of decreases in gang participation, increases in positive academic performance,
and decreases in drug/alcohol use.
15. POTENTIAL CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES. None.

BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) funds are allocated to Contra Costa
Entitlement Jurisdictions (the County and the Cities of Antioch, Concord, Pittsburg, Richmond and
Walnut Creek) by formula through the City of Oakland and the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development(HUD). As agreed by the Jurisdictions, $336,697 of the FY 1996 allocation was
reserved for the development of affordable rental housing for low-income persons with HIV/AIDS.
The County has documented a need for such housing. As of November, 1996, an estimated 4,000
people in Contra Costa County are HIV-positive. An income survey of clients served by HOPWA-
funded service programs in Contra Costa County in FY 1993-94 emphasized the need for additional
affordable housing and supportive services targeted to this population. Amara House, a group home
located in East Richmond Heights in West County, and The Landings, located in Pittsburg, are
currently the only facilities in Contra Costa which provide affordable housing specifically for persons
with HIV/AIDS. A third facility, the 12-unit Aspen Court project in Pacheco is expected to be
complete in April, 1998.
On behalf of the Entitlement Jurisdictions, the Community Development Department conducted a
competitive application process for the allocation of FY 1996 HOPWA funds, and made funds
available on an open-window basis. Rubicon Programs submitted a proposal for $25,000 in FY 1996
HOPWA funds on November 21, 1996. The purpose of the Idaho Apartments project is the
provision of 28 units of single-room occupancy(SRO) rental housing affordable to and occupied by
formerly homeless adults, including 11 units reserved for persons disabled with HIV/AIDS.
Previously provided funds were used for acquisition of the Idaho Motel in El Cerrito. Current
funding request is for rehabilitation of the facility. Services will be provided both onsite and offsite,
and include substance abuse counseling, assistance with basic living skills, mental health counseling,
and AIDS Nurse Case Management. Additional project funding includes FY 1994 County HOPWA
funds($130,000), FY 1995 County HOPWA funds ($100,000), FY 1995 Community Development
Block Grant(CDBG)funds($470,000), Low Income Housing Funds ($570,000), City of El Cerrito
funds ($350,000), HUD McKinney Act Supportive Housing Program funds ($893,000 over three
years) and SRO Moderate Rehabilitation Program Section 8 Certificates (10 year value of$1.7
million). Following analysis and evaluation of this application, representatives of the County
Community Development Department, County AIDS Program, and the County Entitlement
Jurisdictions unanimously agreed to recommend approval of the following allocation of HOPWA
funds:
• $25.000 to Rubicon Programs, including $189 in previously unallocated FY 1995 HOPWA
funds, and the balance of the recommended funding ($24,811) in FY 1996 HOPWA funds.
All HOPWA funds provided to this project will be made available in the form of a subsidized loan
with affordability restrictions designed to ensure that each facility will provide housing for low-
income persons with HIV/AIDS for at least 40 years. These activities are consistent with the
Consolidated Plan for Contra Costa County.
Rubicon has been providing services, including job training, development, and placement, and mental
health and substance abuse counseling to the homeless and disabled populations in Contra Costa
County for 24 years. Since 1981, Rubicon has been providing affordable rental housing, and
currently operates nine projects with 87 units of permanent and transitional housing for formerly
homeless and/or disabled individuals and families. Completion of the current housing project will
contribute substantially to the County's efforts to provide affordable housing to special needs
populations.

Gordon, DeFraga, Watrous & Pezzaglia, Inc . Law Firm
SPECIFIC REOUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)8 BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the County Risk Manager to execute, on behalf of the County, a
Contract Amendment Agreement to the Standard Contract, which is effective
for the term from January 1, 1995 to December 31, 1997, with the law firm
of Gordon, DeFraga, Watrous & Pezzaglia, Inc. to allow for an increase in
the hourly charge from $120 per hour to $180 per hour effective as of
December 24, 1996 solely with respect to the claim filed by Yvette Harden.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Legal costs for liability self-insurance programs are funded through the
Liability Trust Fund.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
Originally this claim was assigned to the law firm of Edrington, Schirmer &
Murphy for the purpose of entering a defense on behalf of the County. As
the matter progressed, it became evident to the Edrington firm they could
not bring to bear the resources necessary to offset those available to
plaintiff. The Edrington firm then asked to be relieved from their duties .
The rate increase on the Harden case is justified due to the imminent trial
date, previous success in trial against the plaintiff ' s attorneys, and high
level of experience and expertise in handling road condition cases .

SUBJECT: Approval of Emergency Residential Care Placement Agreement #24-086-112 with
Bonita House, Inc. (Adult Mental Health Program)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
a. Approve and authorize the Health Services Director or his designee (Donna M.
Wigand) to execute on behalf of the County Standard Form Emergency Residential
Care Placement Agreement #24-086-112 with Bonita House, Inc. , effective
January 30, 1997 through June 30, 1997, to provide emergency residential care
to mentally disturbed adults who are potentially eligible for SSI/SSP, with
maximum payments of $694 per client per month; and
b. Authorize the Auditor-Controller to pay a maximum of $92 per month through
June 30, 1997, to clients who are placed in the board and care facilities
under said Emergency Residential Care Placement Agreements for incidental
expenses and personal needs.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Under this program, the County pays the State-established rates for the residential
care of mental health clients who are not yet receiving SSI/SSP (but who are
potentially eligible and have made formal application to the Social Security
Administration for SSI/SSP) , contingent upon the client's signing an agreement with
the County to reimburse the County from the SSI/SSP money, once it is finally
granted by the federal government (usually 3 to 6 months retroactively back to the
month of application) .
For those mental health clients who are not granted SSI/SSP (i.e. , are found
ineligible) , the County covers the residential care payments to the facility
operators through the County's established Mental Health Program Funding.
Initially, ten to twenty percent of the clients are found ineligible by the Federal
Social Security Administration, depending on changes in Federal guidelines, and then
some of these are ultimately found eligible through appeal processes.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
For several years, the County's Mental Health Adult Services Program has used these
Agreements as an interim financing mechanism to facilitate the residential care of
mentally disabled clients and movement of clients, who are deemed eligible for
SSI/SSP, from State or local inpatient facilities to community-based facilities.
This Program provides residential care for 40 to 50 clients per year.
Approval of Emergency Residential Care Placement Agreement #24-086-112 will allow
the Contractor to provide service through June 30, 1997.
