Title
Consider recommendations regarding the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Services Agreement Renewal for Modified Therapeutic Community Services with Psynergy Programs, Inc., as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute an Agreement of Services of Independent Contractor with Psynergy Programs, Inc. (not a local vendor) for the provision of adult residential mental health services for a maximum contract amount not to exceed $2,829,051.00 for the period of July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024;
b) Delegate to the Director of the Department of Behavioral Wellness or designee the authority to suspend, delay, or interrupt services under the Agreement for convenience and make immaterial changes to the Agreement per Sections 20 and 26 of the Agreement, amend the program goals, outcomes, and measures per Exhibit E, modify the client caseload and amend program staffing requirements per Exhibit A-2, and reallocate funds between funding sources per Exhibit B, all without altering the maximum contract amount and without requiring the Board’s approval of an amendment of the Agreement, subject to the Board’s ability to rescind this delegated authority at any time; and
c) 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 therefore not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines.
