Title
Consider recommendations regarding California Mental Health Services Authority (CalMHSA) banking pool for presumptive transfers between Counties for Fiscal Year (FY) 2018-2019, as follows:
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute a Resolution authorizing the County’s participation in the amount of $59,689.00 for the first quarter (July 1 through September 30, 2018) in the CalMHSA Inter-Member Transfer Program, which authorizes the transfer of County funds to CalMHSA and authorizes CalMHSA to send and receive funds on behalf of County, consistent with the provisions of the Inter-Member Transfer Program Participation Agreement and Welfare and Institutions Code Section 14717.1, with initial funding based on actual out-of-county placement data from FY 2015-2016 plus an administrative charge to each participating County;
b) Direct the Director of Behavioral Wellness to return with an estimate of any additional funding obligations under the FY 2018-2019 Program Participation Agreement, in the amount determined after assessment of actual services as the receiving and/or sending County, as soon as this data is available to the Department; and
c) Determine that the approval of the recommended actions is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4) since the recommended actions are government fiscal activities which do not involve commitment to any specific project which may result in potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
