Consider recommendations regarding Transitions-Mental Health Association (TMHA) Fiscal Years (FYs) 2023-2026 Services Agreement for Lompoc Adult and Older Adult (AOA)-Full Service Partnership (FSP) and Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) Mental Health Services, as follows:
a) Approve, ratify, and authorize the Chair to execute an Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with TMHA (not a local vendor) to provide AOA-FSP and AOT services in Lompoc for a total maximum contract amount not to exceed $ 4,712,875.00, inclusive of $730,525.00 in one-time, start-up program costs for FYs 2023-2025 and $1,991,175.00 in program costs per FY for FYs 2024-2026, for the period of April 29, 2024, through June 30, 2026;
b) Delegate to the Director of the Department of Behavioral Wellness or designee the authority to suspend, delay, or interrupt the services under the Agreement for convenience per Section 20 of the Agreement; make immaterial changes to the Agreement per Section 26; amend program staffing and hours of operation requirements per Exhibit A-5; reallocate funds between funding sources, incorporate new codes and make fee-for-service rate changes or updates, reallocate between contract allocations for the incentive payment, and activate the Contingency Invoicing Plan per Exhibit B; and amend the program goals, outcomes, and measures per Exhibit E of the Agreement, 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 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.
