SUBJECT:

Agreement with the State Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs

 

Recommendation

 

Adopt a Resolution authorizing:

   

1.

The execution of an Agreement with the State Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs in the amount of $18,044,019 for the term of July 1, 2004 through June 30, 2008. This Agreement allows Human Service Agency to receive funding for the provision of alcohol and Drug Prevention and Treatment Services, in the amount of 1) $6,014,673 for FY 04/05, 2) $6,014,673 for FY 05/06, 3) $6,014,673 for FY 06/07-08; and

   

2.

The Director of the Human Services Agency to execute Amendments to the NNA contract on behalf of the County of San Mateo.

   

Background

Funding from the State Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs (ADP) under the Combined Negotiated Net Amount (NNA) and Drug Medi-Cal (DMC) State Contract allows for the provisions of Residential Treatment, Intensive Day Treatment, Non-residential Treatment, Treatment Readiness, and Drug Medi-Cal Services. This agreement is a significant source of state funding for drug and alcohol treatment and prevention programs.

 

Discussion

This new Agreement funds services under the combined NNA and DMC State Contract to continue through FY 2007-08.

Occasionally, during a funding cycle, additional funds become available through State ADP via Amendments to the NNA. As in the past, the Human Services Agency is requesting the Board to authorize the Director of the Human Services Agency to execute Amendments to accept additional state funds.

 

County Counsel has previously reviewed and approved the state NNA agreement as to form, and the Human Services Agency has determined that the only changes are to the rates of payment.
