| | | | | | | | SUMMARY
Approval of this agreement assures Shasta County will continue to receive federal and state funds designated for the provision of substance abuse prevention and treatment services from fiscal year (FY) 2017-18 through FY 2019-20. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
From FY 1998-99 through FY 2016-17, Shasta County has entered into consecutive multi-year agreements with the State of California for the delivery of substance abuse prevention and treatment services as part of the Mental Health Substance Use Disorder (SUD) services agreement. This agreement with the California Department of Health Care Services, is the mechanism by which the County receives Federal Block Grant funds for the delivery of substance abuse prevention and treatment services. This agreement is a renewal, and will allow HHSA to continue to claim federal matching funds for local dollars invested in drug and alcohol treatment, including treatment for opiate addiction.
The amount payable though this agreement is $1,447,977 per fiscal year for a maximum of $4,343,931 for the entire term of the agreement. As the total allocation in each fiscal year is based on preliminary estimates, amendments to the agreement will be developed by the State following adoption of each fiscal year’s State budget. Extending limited signature authority to HHSA Director for amendments will allow for flexibility and process efficiencies. |
| | | | | | | | ALTERNATIVES
The Board could choose not to approve the agreement or defer consideration to a future date. This is not recommended as Shasta County uses these funds to provide substance use disorder prevention and treatment services to Shasta County residents. |
| | | | | | | | OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT
County Counsel has approved the agreement as to form. Risk Management and Information Technology have reviewed and approved the agreement. This recommendation has been reviewed by the County Administrative Office. |
| | | | | | | | FINANCING
The total amount of funding available to Shasta County under the terms of this agreement is $4,343,931 payable in the amount of $1,447,977 per fiscal year. Associated revenue and expenditures are included in the FY 2017-18 Adopted Budget and will be included in future requested budgets. There is no additional General Fund impact from the recommended action |
