TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: Susan Holt, Director, Department of Behavioral Health
SUBJECT: Amendment 2 to Central Star Behavioral Health, Inc. Agreement 23-278, Amendment I 23-576 for Transition Age Youth Mental Health Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute Amendment 2 to Agreement with Central Star Behavioral Health, Inc. to expand the existing Full Service Partnership to include Intensive Case Management and Outpatient level services, effective July 1, 2024 with no change to the term of July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2025, or maximum compensation of $6,896,782.

This item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
There are no viable alternative actions. Should the Board not approve the recommended action, the existing TAY FSP program would not be able to expand to provide necessary outpatient and intensive case management services to persons served in Fresno County.
