Title
Consider recommendations regarding Fiscal Year (FY) 2016-2017 Behavioral Wellness Out-of-County Client Services, as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute an Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with Aurora Vista Del Mar Hospital (not a local vendor), for the provision of Acute Inpatient Services, for a total contract amount not to exceed $965,000.00 for the period July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017;
b) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute a First Amendment to the Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with California Psychiatric Transitions (not a local vendor), an Institution for Mental Disease, to increase the total contract maximum for FY 2015-2016 to $319,200.00 and to extend the contract terms through FY 2016-2017 for an amount of $565,750.00, for a new total contract amount not to exceed $884,950.00 for the period July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2017; and
c) Determine that these activities are exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review per CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5) since the recommended actions are government administrative activities which do not involve commitment to any specific project which may result in potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
