SUBJECT:
|
Second Amendment to Agreement with Sitike Counseling Center
|
|
|
RECOMMENDATION:
|
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the President of the Board to execute a Second Amendment to the Agreement with Sitike Counseling Center for the provision of alcohol and other drug services, increasing the maximum obligation by $24,200 to $4,241,501, with no change to the Agreement term of July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2011.
|
|
|
BACKGROUND:
|
In June 2009 your Board approved Agreements with Sitike Counseling Center and eleven other providers to align current treatment services with the Alcohol and Other Drug Services (AOD) Strategic Directions 2010 plan, to initiate a quality performance improvement process. Your Board also granted the Chief of Health System or designee the authority to execute contract amendments which modify the County’s maximum fiscal obligation by no more than $25,000. The services provided under the Agreement with Sitike emphasize a developmental approach to making changes required under the Strategic Directions 2010 plan through the provision of a continuum of alcohol and other drug services to youth and adults identified as priority populations. The Agreement includes multiple programs and funding sources.
|
|
|
On October 13, 2009, Behavioral Health and Recovery Services received a funding award for the San Mateo County Second Chance Program from the Bureau of Justice Assistance. This grant award spans two fiscal years, FY 2009-10 and FY 2010-11, and is the source of funding for the Second Chance Act Prisoner Re-Entry Initiative Program.
|
|
|
In July 2010 the Chief of the Health System approved an Amendment to the Agreement to decrease funding to Sitike Counseling Center by $11,539 to a new maximum obligation of $4,217,301.
|
|
|
DISCUSSION:
|
This Second Amendment to the Agreement is now necessary to reduce the administrative fee to the First Offender Program from 10% to 8%, and to expand Second Chance Act Re-Entry Services to include outpatient and intensive day treatment services. The goal of the San Mateo County Second Chance Program is to establish and continuously improve a re-entry system that reduces recidivism among County jail inmates who are at high risk for re-offending. Currently under this program the only available substance abuse treatment and recovery services are in a residential setting. The term of the Agreement remains the same.
|
|
|
The Amendment and Resolution have been reviewed and approved by County Counsel.
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
Approving this Amendment will contribute to the Shared Vision 2025 outcome of a Healthy Community by implementing activities which reduce recidivism among County jail inmates at high risk of re-offending. It is anticipated that 60% of participants will successfully complete the alcohol and drug treatment services provided through the amended Agreement. The completion of these services contributes to a reduction in recidivism.
