Title
Mental Health Department recommending Chairman be authorized to sign retroactive Agreement 504-S0811 with California Psychiatric Transitions, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $262,500 for the term March 7, 2008 through March 31, 2011 to provide mental health rehabilitation services for mentally ill adults on an “as requested” basis for said Department.
FUNDING: Funding for Institute for Mental Disease and mental hospital placements such as this come from the MHD’s annual Managed Care allocation, which for Fiscal Year 2007-2008 is $809,000.00. To the extent that the MHD needs more than this amount, those funds would come from Realignment. Projections indicate that the allocation for the current fiscal year is sufficient.
