BACKGROUND:

The Health System has a number of contracts for services that will expire on or before June 30, 2017 and the renegotiation of these contracts is pending completion. These contracts, listed in the exhibit to the Resolution, will be submitted as new agreements or as amendments extending existing agreements by the end of September 2017.

 

DISCUSSION:

To ensure continued provision of the contracted services during the interim period between July 1, 2017 and September 30, 2017, staff requests that the Board of Supervisors authorize the Controller to continue making payments under these contracts at the existing rates through September 30, 2017. This Resolution allows payments to contractors who provide necessary services in a timely fashion and will allow the Health System the time needed to complete negotiations for new contracts. For all agreements subject to this Resolution, all the terms and conditions of each agreement shall remain in effect during the term of the continuing resolution.

The contracts included in the Resolution from Behavioral Health and Recovery Services typically include a monthly advanced payment for the fixed flat rate of the portion of the provider’s contract that is paid out in one-twelfth increments. Inclusion on this Resolution authorizes the Controller to make these regular monthly payments beyond June 30, 2017. We expect to bring most of these contracts to your Board in July 2017.

Most of the contracts from Aging and Adult Services are funded primarily with Older Americans Act funding. The notification of available funding from the State was delayed, meaning that there was insufficient time to complete contract negotiations before June 30, 2017. We expect these contracts to be ready for approval by September 2017.

The contracts for Public Health Policy and Planning provide continued funding of programs for the STD/AIDS programs funded through the City and County of San Francisco. The City and County of San Francisco has not provided final confirmation of the amount of funding they will receive to pass through the Public Health Programs.

The Resolution has been reviewed and approved by County Counsel as to form.

Approval of this Resolution contributes to the Shared Vision 2025 outcome of a Healthy Community by enabling the Health System to continue to provide a continuity of services to the community until final negotiations can be completed.

 

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funds for the annual costs of these contracts have been included in the Health System FY 2017-18 Recommended Budget.
