recommendation
a) AGREEMENT - Request approval and authorization for the Executive Director to sign the Amendment No. 2 to the Misc. Agreement 2024-198 (as amended by Misc. Agree. 2025-040) with Willow Glen Care Center, a California corporation, for the purpose of providing community residential treatment services, thereby amending the rates set forth in Exhibit “E” to include the rates for Fiscal Year 25/26, with a maximum compensation not to exceed $1,600,000 in any fiscal year, effective 7/1/24 and shall terminate 6/30/26 (Subject to receipt of required insurance documentation)
body
Financial Impact:
There is no change to the maximum compensation amount. Costs of services will be paid for with Mental Health Realignment funds and/or Mental Health Services Act dollars allocated for medically necessary services. Budget unit 40131 for Mental Health. There is no impact to the general fund.
Background Information:
Misc. Agreement 2024-198 was reviewed and approved by the Board of Supervisors on 6/25/24. Amendment No. 1 (Misc. Agreement 2025-040) increased the maximum compensation amount by $500,000 per fiscal year. This Amendment No. 2 updates the Exhibit E to include the rates for FY 25/26. This amendment does not change the maximum compensation amount.
The Willow Glen Care Center facility has seen a steady increase in utilization by the County for patient care over the years. This facility provides placement for both clients who need long term residential treatment services and for mentally ill adults requiring a step down from a higher level of acute psychiatric care. If the amendment is approved, it will allow for the use of appropriate level facilities by Tehama County Mental Health clients. If the amendment is not approved, clients who could be served by Willow Glen Care Center would not be able to be placed there and the Department would need to find another comparable facility to place clients. This could result in clients being placed at further distances and cause disruptions and delays for needed services.
