Background
Star View Adolescent Treatment Center offers Community Treatment Facility ("CTF") services providing support and supervision in a locked facility twenty-four hours per day, seven days a week, as well as Psychiatric Health Facility services. CTFs are secured (locked) community residential treatment facilities providing mental health services to adolescents who are diagnosed as Severely Emotionally Disturbed. Clients may be placed at the facility by the Human Services Division, the Mental Health Division, the Court, or via a conservatorship placement. El Dorado County does not have a Community Treatment Facility and must contract for these services.
Reason for Recommendation
Approval of this Amendment I to Agreement for Services 624-S1211 will help ensure continued availability of secured residential mental health services for minors on an "as requested" basis.

2) Clerk of the Board to return one (1) fully executed original Amendment I to HHSA at 3057 Briw Road.
