body
BACKGROUND:
Since 1985, the Board has approved resolutions authorizing expenditures for residential care facilities serving mentally ill clients to provide residential care services for adults. The later services enhance successful community living and avoid a more costly, higher level of care
DISCUSSION:
Casa de Luz operates a three-bed board and care facility for difficult to place clients and provides augmented services for seriously mentally ill clients who require a higher level of supervision and services. Examples of these higher-level services include: intensive mental health services, social skills training, and assistance with daily living activities.
Under the B-1 Administrative Memorandum the selection of providers of residential services for mental health clients is exempt from the Request for Proposals requirement.
The resolution contains the County’s standard provisions allowing amendments of the County’s fiscal obligation by a maximum of $25,000 (in aggregate).
The agreement 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 residential board and care services to mentally ill clients. It is anticipated that 100 percent of board and care clients will be retained at this level of care.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The term of the revised agreement is July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2022. The amount of the contract is not to exceed $312,919 for the three-year term. Funds in the amount of $104,497 are included in the BHRS FY 2019-2020 Recommended Budget. Of that amount, it is anticipated that $94,047 will be funded by sales tax through 1991 Realignment and $10,450 will be funded by Net County Cost. The payment provisions and level of services in the agreement are essentially the same as the prior agreement. Similar arrangements will be made for future years
