Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: There is no Net County Cost associated with these two Alcohol and Drug Counseling (AOD) Agreements. Funding for the Agreements is included in the Division's fiscal year 2011-12 budget.
Background: The Health and Human Services Agency Public Health Division receives an annual State Negotiated Net Amount (NNA) Agreement that includes multiple State and Federal funding streams to provide substance abuse counseling, testing and treatment services. The Department subcontracts a portion of these services to local treatment service providers, having determined that these services are more economically and feasibly performed by outside independent entities, as authorized by the El Dorado County Charter, Section 210 (b) (6) and/or Government Code 31000.
Contracts with multiple vendors are necessary to meet the needs of adult and juvenile clients in residential and non-residential settings as well as meet a broader range of client needs.
The Public Health Division has identified unspent Federal Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment (SAPT) funds from fiscal year 2011-12 from other subcontractors that must be obligated by June 30, 2012 and desires to allocate these funds for treatment services.
Compensation: Payments are made to each contractor based upon monthly invoicing for actual services performed and documented per contract requirements.
Termination: These Agreements contain both the County Fiscal Considerations clause, allowing cancellation due to lack of funding, and the standard Termination clause that includes the ability to terminate in whole or part upon seven (7) calendar days written notice, without cause.
Reason for Recommendation: Approval of these Amendments will allow local AOD Counseling contractors to continue providing substance abuse counseling, testing and treatment services through the remainder of the fiscal year.
Action to be taken following Board approval:
1. Chair to sign three (3) original Amendments to each of the following Agreements: 053-110-P-E2010 and 097-110-P-E2010.
2. Board Clerk's Office to return two (2) signed originals of each Amendment to Public Health.
3. Public Health to distribute documents as appropriate.
