SUBMITTED BY: Dawan Utecht, Director, Department of Behavioral Health
SUBJECT: Master Agreement for Youth Empowerment Center Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
1. Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute a Master Agreement with providers of Youth Empowerment Center Services, effective upon execution through June 30, 2021, total not to exceed $1,736,500.
2. Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute an Agreement with Kings View Behavioral Health for Peer and Family Support Wellness and Recovery Services, which will supersede Agreement 15-634, effective upon execution through June 30, 2021, total not to exceed $2,461,423.
3. Authorize the Director of the Department of Behavioral Health, or designee, to add and delete provider(s) to the Master Agreement, as necessary, with oversight and approval from Internal Services Department - Purchasing Division.
REPORT
Approval of the recommended actions will allow for the extension of Youth Empowerment Center Services currently provided to adolescent and transition age youth (TAY), to include additional cultural and geographical populations, and persons not currently being served. The second recommended action will allow the recommended Agreement to supersede the existing contract in place. The third recommended action will allow for future additions and/or deletions of providers for other unserved and underserved populations. Funding reallocations within the Master Agreement with existing and/or new providers will allow them to meet service needs, without exceeding the annual contract maximum.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
There is no viable alternative action. If the first recommended action is not approved, youth empowerment center services will not be provided to unserved and underserved youth populations, including but not limited to youth within the Addam's neighborhood, which extends from McKinley to Belmont (north to south) and Golden State to N. Marks Ave.
