body
Financial Impact:
Costs of services will be paid for with Mental Health realignment funds and/or Mental Health Services Act dollars allocated for medically necessary services in budget account, 40131. There is no impact on the General Fund.
Background Information:
This is a renewal agreement with the vendor. The Cascades Management Company LLC facility handles the placement of both clients who need short term residential treatment services and for mentally ill adults requiring a step down from a higher level of acute psychiatric care. This agreement will allow for the use of appropriate level facilities by Tehama County Mental Health clients. If the agreement is not approved, the Department will need to find another comparable facility to place clients. This could result in clients being placed at farther distances and cause disruptions and delays for much needed services.
