RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AN AMENDMENT TO THE FY 2004-05 FLAT RATE AGREEMENT WITH YOUTH AND FAMILY ENRICHMENT SERVICES (“YFES”) TO PROVIDE DAY TREATMENT SERVICES TO ADDITIONAL CLIENTS REFERRED TO YFES BY CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES

______________________________________________________________

RESOLVED, by the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Mateo, State of California, that

 

WHEREAS, On July 27, 2004, the Board of Supervisors authorized resolution number 66830, approving Flat Rate Agreements with twelve (12) providers of alcohol and drug treatment services, including the FY 2004-05 Flat Rate Agreement with Youth and Family Enrichment Services to provide alcohol and drug prevention and treatment services; and

 

WHEREAS, the FY 2004-05 Flat Rate Agreement with YFES includes funding for YFES’s women’s mental health/drug and alcohol day treatment program known as the “Women’s Enrichment Center” (“WEC”); and

 

WHEREAS, the WEC was originally developed to provide day treatment services to women participating in the CalWORKs program who face multiple barriers (also referred to as “co-occurring disorders”) such as mental health, substance abuse, child rearing, and economic issues, and the WEC currently serves 42 adult women with co-occurring disorders, all of whom are CalWORKs participants; and

 

WHEREAS, the WEC program will be expanded to serve women facing similar co-occurring disorders but who are not participants in the CalWORKs program, thereby resulting in the need for additional funding; and

 

WHEREAS, the current rate of payment for a WEC visit day has increased from $148.10 per visit day to $175.07 per visit day due to increased staffing, transportation and food costs; and

 

WHEREAS, there has been presented to this Board of Supervisors for its consideration and acceptance, an Amendment to the FY 2004-05 Flat Rate Agreement with Youth and Family Enrichment Services, which will allow WEC to expand its services to women referred by Children and Family Services. The Amendment will increase allocated funds for WEC for woman’s day treatment services by $138,000, through Children and Family Services (“C&FS”) and increase the total obligation to $909,389 for the term of the FY 2004-05 in order to serve additional clients referred by C&FS, with an increased Net County Cost of $138,000; and

 

WHEREAS, this Board has been presented with the Amendment and has examined and approved the Amendment as to both form and content and desires to enter into this Amendment.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY DETERMINED AND ORDERED that the President of this Board of Supervisors be, and is hereby authorized and directed to execute said Amendment for and on behalf of the County of San Mateo, and the Clerk of this Board shall attest the President’s signature thereto.
