Honorable Board of Supervisors

   

FROM:

Charlene A. Silva, Director of Health Services

Gale Bataille, Director of Mental Health Services

   

SUBJECT:

Agreement with TGMC Residential Care Facilities, Inc. dba Golden Manor

   

Recommendation

Adopt a resolution authorizing the President of the Board to execute an Agreement with TGMC Residential Care Facilities, Inc. dba Golden Manor.

 

Background

 

Since December 17, 1985, your Board has approved resolutions authorizing expenditures for residential care facilities serving mentally ill clients.

 

Consistent with the Mental Health Services Division Plan, contracts are offered to any qualified provider for these residential services. As required in this process, a public notice will be published every year to solicit applications for new providers.

 

Discussion

This contractor operates a 10-bed board and care facility for difficult to place clients. This contractor provides two (2) levels of service, the Step Down Service Level and the Augmented Service Level. Clients at the Step Down Service Level are generally more independent and stable, requiring lower levels of supervision and less intensive services. The Augmented Service Level is for seriously mentally ill clients who require a higher level of supervision and services including more intensive mental health services, social skills training and assistance with activities of daily living.

 

Consistent with contract approval level limitations in County Administrative Memorandum B-1, the Director of Health Services will be authorized to execute amendments and modifications to this agreement not to exceed $25,000 in aggregate.

 

Vision Alignment

This Agreement with TGMC Residential Care Facilities, Inc. dba Golden Manor, keeps the commitment to Ensure Basic Health and Safety for All and goal number 8: Help vulnerable people, the aged, disabled, mentally ill, at risk youth, and others - achieve a better quality of life. The Agreement contributes to this commitment and goal by providing residential board and care services for San Mateo County Mental Health clients.

 

Fiscal Impact

The term of the Agreement is August 17, 2004 through June 30, 2007. The Agreement has been reviewed and approved by County Counsel and Risk Management.

 

The Agreement maximum is $143,280 for the three-year term. The anticipated Agreement maximum for FY2004-05 is $47,760. Sales tax provided through realignment will cover $42,506 of the cost. The remaining $5,254 is net county cost, as maintenance of effort for realignment. A similar arrangement is in place for FY2005-06 and 2006-07.
