BOARD REGULAR MEETING 11:00 A.M.
2. / SUBJECT: / COMPETITIVE PROCUREMENT FOR SAN DIEGO KIDSTART CENTER (DistrictS: All)
OVERVIEW:
The Board of Supervisors has demonstrated a long-term commitment to providing programs designed to specifically meet the needs of abused, neglected or abandoned children placed in foster care.
The Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA), Child Welfare Services (CWS) is mandated to ensure child safety, permanency of living situations and well being. Studies indicate that fifty to seventy-five percent of children entering foster care exhibit developmental delays, behavioral and/or mental health issues. Today’s recommendation, if approved by the Board, will address the need to serve children with the most complex issues by implementing a KidSTART Center at a centralized location.
In line with State law, the First 5 Commission of San Diego oversees funds from a tobacco tax initiative approved by voters in 1998. By law, First 5 funding is earmarked for programs that help children ages 0-5 to become “school ready.” On September 11, 2009, the First 5 Commission of San Diego approved funding of $5,000,000, over six years, for CWS to develop and implement a KidSTART Center. The KidSTART Center will provide comprehensive assessment, individualized service plans, treatment and coordinated care to promote healthy child development.
As part of this effort, CWS will partner with HHSA Children’s Mental Health Services to provide mental health treatment to children at the Center who meet medical necessity for mental health services and are full scope Medi-Cal beneficiaries. If approved, CWS will utilize First 5 funding to leverage additional funds from the State Children’s Mental Health Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT) program, beginning in FY 2010-11. The combined total six year amount of First 5 and EPSDT funding for the project will be $9,250,000, through FY 2014-15.
The development of the KidSTART Center supports the Board’s vision of providing critical services to the most high-risk children with complex developmental challenges. Today’s action requests authority for the Director, Department of Purchasing and Contracting to issue a competitive solicitation for the KidSTART Center, and subject to successful negotiations, award new contracts to provide services for the most vulnerable population of children, ages 0-5.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Fiscal Impact for Child Welfare Services:
Funding for this request is not included in the FY 2009-11 Operational Plan for the Health and Human Services Agency. If approved, this proposal will result in an increase in costs and revenue of $4,250,000 spread over six years, including $500,000 in the current year. The funding source is the First 5 Commission of San Diego. There will be no change in the net General Fund cost and no additional staff years.
Fiscal Impact for Mental Health Services:
Funding for this request is not included in the FY 2009-11 Operational Plan for the Health and Human Services Agency. If approved, this proposal will result in an increase in costs and revenue of $5,000,000 spread over five years, beginning in FY 2010-11. The funding source is State Children’s Mental Health EPSDT in the amount of $4,250,000, with $750,000 matching funds from First 5 Commission of San Diego. There will be no change in the net General Fund cost and no additional staff years.
