Consider recommendations regarding an Amendment to the Agreement with LAGS Spine and Sportscare Medical Centers, Inc. for Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery System (DMC- ODS) Fiscal Year (FY) 2018-2021, as follows:
a) Approve, ratify, and authorize the Chair to execute a First Amendment to the Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor with LAGS Spine and Sportscare Medical Centers, Inc., a California Corporation (a local vendor), to update provisions to the Agreement for compliance with state and federal regulations with no change in the multi-year maximum contract amount of $1,625,201.00, inclusive of $366,981.00 for FY 2018-2019; $629,110.00 for FY 2019-2020; and $629,110.00 for FY 2020-2021, for the period of December 1, 2018 to June 30, 2021;
b) Delegate to the Director of the Department of Behavioral Wellness, or her designee, the authority to reallocate funds between funding sources; to adjust the provisional rate at her discretion during the term of the Agreement without altering the maximum contract amount; to make immaterial changes to the Agreement; and to amend the program goals, outcomes, and measures, all without requiring a formal amendment to 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 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.
