BACKGROUND:

The Daly City Peninsula Partnership (DCPP) has provided community outreach and support services to the residents living in the northern region of San Mateo County since 1995. A program of DCPP, Our Second Home (OSH), provides early intervention and treatment services to children zero to five years of age and their families. OSH also provides differential response early intervention services for families at risk of becoming involved in the child welfare system. First Five terminated funding for OSH in July 2007. Subsequently, leaders from the Health System, the Human Services Agency, DCPP, and the City of Daly City discussed areas of joint priority and funding needed to support DCPP’s growing role in the development of community schools, and its continuum of services to families with young children. A commitment was made to continue to support OSH. The City of Daly City is the fiscal agent for the DCPP.

 

DISCUSSION:

This Agreement will fund a full-time mental health clinician and community worker for OSH. Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (BHRS) is providing funding for a mental health counselor for clients of OSH. Family Health Services (FHS) is providing funding for a community worker who will provide case management, community outreach, home visiting, support groups, parenting classes, and training of health care providers on child health and development.

 

The full-time BHRS mental health clinician will only be funded for FY 2009-10 due to the uncertainty of the County budget. The Agreement may be amended next year to add BHRS services if funding is available.

 

The Agreement has been reviewed and approved by County Counsel and Risk Management. The contractor has assured compliance with the County's Contractor Employee Jury Service Ordinance, as well as all other contract provisions that are required by County ordinance and administrative memoranda, including but not limited to insurance, hold harmless, non-discrimination and equal benefits.

 

FISCAL IMPACT:

The term of the Agreement is July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2012. The maximum obligation for this Agreement is $276,888. The maximum for FY 2009-10 is $142,296. Of that amount, $75,000 will be from BHRS funds and $67,296 will be from FHS. The amount of $75,000 is included in the BHRS FY 2009-10 Recommended Budget and is 100% Net County Cost. The amount of $67,296 is included in the FHS FY 2009-10 Recommended Budget, 50% of which is expected to be funded through Medi-Cal Targeted Case Management, and 50% is Net County Cost. Similar arrangements will be made for FHS FY 2010-11 and FY 2011-12. The estimated Net County Cost for the term of the Agreement is $175,944.
