SUBJECT: Amendment I to Agreement with Uplift Family Services, for SB 163 Wraparound & Therapeutic Foster Care Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute Amendment I to Agreement A-15-189 with Uplift Family Services formerly Families First to extend Wraparound Services by three months from July 1, 2018 through September 30, 2018 and increasing the maximum compensation by $489,270 to a total of $13,989,270.

The proposed Amendment will extend the original three-year term for a three-month period and increase the maximum compensation by $489,270. All other terms of the agreement will remain the same. The Cost ($489,270) of the recommended action will be offset with Medi-Cal Federal Financial Participation (FFP), Behavioral Health and Mental Health Realignment, and Senate Bill 163 (SB163) Funds with no increase in Net County Cost.
