RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:
a. Approve and authorize the Director of Health to sign a Mental Health Services Agreement (May 1, 2012-June 30, 2012, FY 2012-13 and FY 2013-14) with Red Rock Canyon School for the provision of mental health services in the amount of $17,934 for FY 2011-12, $107,310 for FY 2012-13 and $107,310 for FY 2013-14, for a total of $232,554, for the period May 1, 2012 through June 30, 2014; and

SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Red Rock Canyon School ("Red Rock") will provide Room and Board and Mental Health services to a Monterey County young adult in accordance with the client's individual education plan and other identified needs. The Department of Social and Employment Services is no longer administering room and board fees for the Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA). The Behavioral Health Bureau, as lead provider of mental health services to this population of referred students is also administering room and board services and will seek reimbursement from the local SELPA for such services effective October 1, 2011. The goal of the program is to reduce inappropriate behavioral and/or psychiatric symptoms to a level of care whereby the youth can return home or move to a lower level of care.
This Agreement is retroactive to May 1, 2012, the date when the young adult was placed at Red Rock on an emergency basis. Emergency placements are conducted when current contracted providers are not able to provide the specialized residential and mental health needs of the young adult.
Execution of this contract has been delayed due to Red Rock having to work with their insurance broker to provide the appropriate insurance documentation as required by the County of Monterey.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
County Counsel, Risk Management, and the Auditor-Controller have reviewed this Agreement as to legal form, insurance requirements, and fiscal provisions respectively. A copy of this Agreement is on file with the Clerk to the Board.
FINANCING:
This Agreement is 100% funded by the Monterey County SELPA. The amount of this Agreement is $17,934 for FY 2011-12, $107,310 for FY 2011-12 and $107,310 for FY 2012-13, for a total amount not to exceed $232,554. Approval of this action has no impact on the General Fund Contribution.
