SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION(S) :
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee
(Donna Wigand) to execute on behalf of the County, Contract
#24-960-3 with Touchstone Counseling, in an amount not to exceed
$65, 000, to provide mental health services for recipients of the
California Welfare-to-Work (CalWORKs) Program, for the period from

FISCAL IMPACT:
This Contract is funded by the Social Services Department from State
AB 1542 Funds .
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S) :
In August 1997, the State of California Legislature passed Assembly
Bill 1542 which brought major changes to the welfare programs
previously operated by the State. Among the changes was a provision
which required treatment of substance abuse and mental illnesses of
Welfare-to-Work participants, when these conditions interfere with
participation in Welfare-to-Work activities . Subsequently, the
County' s Employment and Human Services Department and Health
Services Department signed an Interdepartmental Services Agreement
(#21-427) which allowed the Health Services Department to provide
substance abuse and mental health services to Welfare-to-Work
participants referred by the Employement and Human Services
Department .
On September 12 , 2000, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract
#24-960-2 with Touchstone Counseling, for the period from July 1,
2000 through June 30, 2001, to provide mental health services for
recipients of the CalWORKs Program.
Approval of Contract #24-960-3 will allow the Contractor to continue
providing services through June 30, 2002 .
