Title
Consider recommendations regarding Amendments to the Phoenix and Psynergy Agreements for Fiscal Year (FY) 2015-2016, as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute a Second Amendment to the Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with Phoenix of Santa Barbara, dba Crescend Health (a local vendor), reallocating $28,620.00 as County Subsidy funds in place of former Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) subsidy funds with no change to the maximum contract amount for FY 2015-2016;
b) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute a Third Amendment to the Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with Psynergy Programs, Inc., (not a local vendor) for the provision of adult residential mental health services, to increase the FY 2015-2016 contract by $100,000.00 for a total contract amount not to exceed $1,824,228.00 through June 30, 2017; and
c) Determine that the above actions are government fiscal activities or funding mechanisms which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which 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.
