Title
Consider recommendations regarding the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) Intergovernmental Transfer Agreements for Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery System (DMC-ODS) Services and Specialty Mental Health Services (SMHS), as follows:
a) Approve, ratify, and authorize the Director of the Department of Behavioral Wellness, or designee, to execute an Intergovernmental Transfer Agreement (Contract No. 21-10034) for the transfer of public funds to the California DHCS to fund the county nonfederal share of Medi-Cal payments for DMC-ODS services furnished by the County, for the period of July 1, 2023 through December 31, 2026;
b) Approve, ratify, and authorize the Director of the Department of Behavioral Wellness, or designee, to execute an Intergovernmental Transfer Agreement (Contract No. 22-20133) for the transfer of public funds to DHCS to fund the county nonfederal share of Medi-Cal payments for SMHS furnished by the County, for the period of July 1, 2023 through December 31, 2026; 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 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.
