Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: Appropriations for the contract are included in the Department's budget. No change to net County cost.
Background: State of California provides Federal Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment (SAPT) block grant funds via the Substance Abuse Treatment and Testing Accountability Act (SATTA) to El Dorado County Alcohol and Drug Program to operate the Proposition 36 program. Sierra Recovery Center provides assessment, substance abuse treatment services and drug testing for clients who qualify to participate in the Proposition 36 program.
State of California budget for FY 2008-09 reduced Drug Medi-Cal (DMC) rates with a potential for future reductions at the State level. The Health Services Department determined at that time it would be in the best interest of the County to adopt language that would ensure rates for these services conformed to the DMC rates both currently and in the future, automatically adjusting as necessary. Therefore, language in the amendment reflects these changes and Exhibit C "Standardized Rate Structure" is replaced by a new Exhibit C "Standardized Service Definitions."
In addition, the provisional amount is modified to reflect an increase of $2,580.00 SATTA FY 2007-08 unexpended funds being reallocated from another provider.
Reason for Recommendation: Replacement of Exhibit C eliminates any potential for disparity between DMC rates and provider service invoices. Reallocation of funds to increase the provisional amount of this agreement will ensure provision of required level of services.
Action to be taken following Board approval:
1. Board Chairman to sign three (3) Amendments I to Agreement 025-S0911.
2. Board Clerk's Office to return two (2) fully executed Amendments I to Agreement 025-S0911 to the Health Services Department.
3. Department to distribute documents as appropriate.
