RECOMMENDATION:
title
Measure K: Adopt a resolution authorizing an amendment to the agreement with StarVista, to expand the Early Childhood Community Team model, increasing the amount by $660,000, to an amount not to exceed $2,876,832, with no change to the term of the agreement.
body
BACKGROUND:
On December 13, 2016, your Board approved an agreement with StarVista for the provision of mental health services and family health community worker services, for the term July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017, for a total obligation of $2,216,832.
DISCUSSION:
On March 17, 2015, your Board adopted the allocation plan for Measure A funding for FY 2015-16 and FY 2016-17. The plan included several priority areas that led to new contracts for homelessness and housing, foster youth, and older adult services to be brought to the Board on an accelerated schedule so that services could begin on July 1, 2015.
StarVista was allocated Measure A funds to expand the Early Childhood Community Team model. This model provides comprehensive prevention, early intervention, and treatment services to families with young children in three regions within San Mateo County: 1) South San Francisco/Daly City, 2) Coastside/South Coast (Half Moon Bay, Pescadero and La Honda), and 3) Redwood City’s North Fair Oaks region.
Despite being allocated Measure A funds in FY15-16, StarVista’s existing contract at the time was not updated. Through this amendment, these services (now funded under Measure K) are being added to the agreement so that they can continue in FY 2016-17, as originally approved by your Board.
The amendment and resolution have been reviewed and approved by County Counsel as to form.
Approval of this agreement contributes to the Shared Vision 2025 outcome of a Healthy Community by providing services that promote wellness and recovery. It is anticipated that 77% of clients who receive services will be maintained at the current or lower level of care.

Funds in the amount of $660,000 have been included in the BHRS FY 2016-17 Adopted Budget. Measure K will fund 100% of the increase.
