a) Approve, ratify and authorize the Chair to execute a First Amendment to the Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with Telecare Corporation (BC19-219), a California nonprofit organization (not a local vendor), to revise language in Exhibit A-2 McMillan Ranch and increase the program amount for FY 2021-2022 by $119,128.00 to allow for increased services; to add nursing staff positions and medication support services to Exhibit A-3 Santa Maria Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) Program and increase the program amount for FY 2021-2022 by $797,493.00 for a new total Maximum Contract Amount not to exceed $6,338,731.00, for the period of July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2022; inclusive of $1,807,370.00 for FY 2019-2020, $1,807,370.00 for FY 2020-2021, and $2,723,991.00 for FY 2021-2022;
b) Delegate to the Director of the Department of Behavioral Wellness or designee the authority to make immaterial changes; authorize additional services; amend program staffing requirements; reallocate funds between funding sources; adjust or waive the County Maximum Allowable rate; and amend the program goals, outcomes, and measures, 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.
