Title
Facilities, a division of the Chief Administrative Office, on behalf of Health and Human Services (HHSA) recommending the Board authorize the Chief Administrative Officer, or designee, to enter into negotiations with the owner(s) Steve's Christmas Tree, Inc., or their designated representative, regarding the property located at 768 Pleasant Valley Road, Upper Level, Diamond Springs (APN 097-020-048-000).
FUNDING: State.
Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
Currently the County leases space at this property for the Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA). HHSA is satisfied with this space and wishes to pursue leasing an additional floor of this building.
The lease for the Victory Mine 3rd floor will allow HHSA to provide the statutorily mandated integration of the ODS/SUDS services with the Mental Health programming, required by 2027 as a component of CalAIM. Failing to complete this core CalAIM mandate will result in fines, sanctions and penalties by DHCS. Additionally, this will provide a state funded opportunity to move positions out of other sites, freeing up space to move Spring Street staffing and programs out and supporting resolution of the decommissioning of this end-of-life facility.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could direct the County not to pursue leasing additional space for HHSA.
