Title
Consider recommendations regarding a First Amendment to the California Mental Health Services Authority and California Department of State Hospitals (DSH) Purchase of State Hospital Beds Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), Fiscal Year (FY) 2021-2022 and the California Mental Health Services Authority (CalMHSA) State Hospital Beds Administrative Fee Participation Agreement FY 2022-2023, as follows:
a) Approve, ratify, and authorize the Director of the Department of Behavioral Wellness or designee to execute the First Amendment to the MOU with CalMHSA and the California DSH FY 2021-2022 to revive the MOU and extend the term through December 31, 2022, to allow for the negotiation and finalization of the FY 2022-2023 MOU for the purchase of state hospital beds and to increase the bed rates, effective July 1, 2022, in the estimated amount of $3,236,090.00, based upon the use of 11 beds;
b) Delegate authority to the Director of the Department of Behavioral Wellness or designee to execute a subsequent amendment to the FY 2021-2022 MOU for the purchase of state hospital beds with CalMHSA and DSH to extend the term for no more than 60 days, as needed, without requiring the Board’s approval of an amendment of the MOU, subject to the concurrence of County Counsel, Auditor-Controller, and Risk Management and the Board’s ability to rescind this delegated authority at any time;
c) Approve, ratify, and authorize the Director of the Department of Behavioral Wellness or designee to execute the CalMHSA State Hospitals Program Participation Agreement No. 1527-SHB-2022-SB for an administrative fee in the estimated amount of $15,422.00, based upon the use of 11 beds at a cost not to exceed $1,402.00 per bed from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023; and
d) Determine that the above actions are government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities, which do not involve any commitment to any specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment, and are organizational or administrative activities of the government that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment and are therefore not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to section 15378(b)(4) and (b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines.
