Title
Consider recommendations regarding a Participation Agreement (PA) with the California Mental Health Services Authority (CalMHSA) for the Quality Measures and Performance Improvement Program for Fiscal Years (FYs) 2023-2025, as follows:
a) Approve, ratify, and authorize the Chair to execute a PA with CalMHSA for the Quality Measures and Performance Improvement Program for the fixed rate of $25,000.00 and additional Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Sets (HEDIS) costs not to exceed $5,000.00 over the fixed rate, for a maximum agreement amount of $30,000.00 from February 7, 2024, to December 31, 2024;
b) Delegate to the Director of the Department of Behavioral Wellness or designee the authority to adjust Program timelines and technical requirements per Exhibit A of the Agreement and approve of additional analysis of the HEDIS data per Exhibit B, all without altering the maximum agreement 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 that 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.
