Wigand, LCSW, Mental Health Director�t a SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR RETROACTIVE APPROVAL FOR CONTRACT AMENDMENT—Lincoln Child Center, The Options Program, Contract 24-925 STATEMENT OF NEED FOR RETROACTIVE CONTRACT Contra Costa Children's Mental Health contracts with Lincoln Child Center to provide the Options Program at Highlands Elementary School, Stoneman Elementary School, and Shore Acres Elementary School, in Bay Point. The focus of the Options Program is to keep kids in public school placement in their home community. The Options Program works to provide mental health support and consultation to the school, family, and school district in an effort to maintain troubled youngsters in their home school. The program is funded with Federal Medi-Cal and State EPSDT funds and with $20,000 per year in incoming funds from Mt. Diablo Unified School District (reference incoming funds contract number 29-510) for services provided to non-Medi-Cal eligible children at the Shore Acres site. Due to administrative oversight, the incoming school district funds were not linked to the novated contract#24-925. Therefore, retroactive approval of this request for contract amendment from 7/1/00 is required to cover the service activities of the contractor and to provide a mechanism for payment to the contractor of funds paid by the school district to the Mental Health Division for that purpose. Approval of this request for retroactive contract amendment will result in a total payment limit of $328,146. This contract is funded by Federal MediCal (FFP), State EPSDT and Mt. Diablo Unified School District funds. I LINCOLN CHILD CENTER - Request for Retroactive Contract Amendment - Page 2. BENEFIT OF CONTRA COSTA COUNTY: Approval of this retroactive contract amendment will allow for the contractor to provide services to non-MediCal eligible children, as originally intended and arranged for with Mt. Diablo Unified School District. Additionally, the efforts made by this Program assist in reducing the youngster's involvement with other agencies in the County, including Juvenile Probation, Children's Services, and in some cases, the services at Contra Costa Mental Health's Psychiatric Emergency Services, located at the Regional Medical Center. Participation in the Program may also prevent hospitalization. As a result, significant benefit is derived by the community while affording the County the opportunity to manage the cost. AUTHORIZATION OF SERVICES: These services were requested/authorized by the Children's Program Chief who is granted this authority by the Mental Health Director, pursuant to the California Welfare and Institutions Code, under the Bronzon-McCorquodale Act, W&I Section 5608.
