Title
Consider recommendations regarding Sheriff’s Office Jail Based Competency Treatment (JBCT) Program, Contract with California Department of State Hospitals (DSH) and Contract Amendment with California Forensic Medical Group (CFMG/WellPath), as follows: (4/5 Vote required)
a) Approve, ratify, and authorize the Chair to execute a three year contract with the California DSH accepting an amount not to exceed $4,652,137.00 for the duration of the contract (July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2023) to provide a JBCT Program within the Sheriff’s Office’s Main Jail Facility;
b) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute a Second Amendment to Agreement for Services with CFMG/WellPath for healthcare services (medical and mental health services) at the Santa Barbara Main Jail and for medical services only for Probation’s juvenile facilities to extend these services to provide a JBCT Program with the existing term to end March 31, 2022, in an amount not to exceed a total amount of $22,723,309.20 for the remainder of the contract term; and
c) Determine that the above actions are government fiscal activities or funding mechanisms which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant impact on the environment, and are therefore not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA guidelines.
