Title
Consider recommendations regarding Fiscal Year 2015-2016 Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health Services (ADMHS) Out-of-County Client Services Amendments, as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute a First Amendment to the Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with Davis Guest Home (not a local vendor), to increase the hourly rate of payment for enhanced board and care services, with no change to the contract maximum not to exceed $156,000.00 per year, and a total contract maximum of $468,000.00 through June 30, 2017;
b) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute a First Amendment to the Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with Psynergy Programs, Inc. (not a local vendor), for the provision of adult residential mental health services with no change to the total contract amount not to exceed $500,000.00 per year and a total contract maximum of $1,500,000.00 through June 30, 2017;
c) Authorize the ADMHS Director to amend as needed Exhibit B-1 (Schedule of Rates and Contract Maximum) in the Davis Guest Home and Psynergy Programs, Inc. contracts to approve rate increases and special rates for special client circumstances, without returning to the Board with a separate amendment, so long as the total contract maximum is unchanged; and
d) Determine that these activities are exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review per CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5) since the recommended actions are government administrative activities which do not involve commitment to any specific project which may result in potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
