(Behavioral Health) 3.07 Payment for Managed Care Hospital, Sierra Vista Hospital, Inc. - Butte County clients experiencing a mental crisis outside of the County may be placed with State authorized "Managed Care" hospitals for treatment. When this occurs, the State hospitals invoice the Department of Behavioral Health for services rendered to County clients. As these placements may occur across various facilities, the State posts provider rates for these services. The majority of providers are not contracted with the County and are able to provide the services under the posted rates.

The Department received invoices from Sierra Vista for fiscal year 2022-23 above the threshold, totaling $125,944. The services were provided to County clients, however as they are outside of the DHCS threshold, a contract is warranted but cannot be entered into retroactively.

Each facility is a 24-hour, 6 bed residential care facility for adults experiencing mental illness.

HCD oversees the permitting of all MHUs and in the WUI requires that new MHUs meet ignition-resistant construction standards. These standards help to protect our communities and residents in the WUI. However, these same standards are not required for the installation of used MHUs in the WUI. Allowing relocated structures that do not meet ignition- resistant construction standards to be installed in the WUI places our citizens and surrounding communities at unnecessary risk. For these reasons, the Butte County Board of Supervisors is advocating for ignition-resistant construction standards for all MHUs installed in the Wildland Urban Interface - action requested - APPROVE LETTER AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN.

Board Member / Committee Reports and Board Member Comments (Pursuant to California State law, the Board is prohibited from taking action on any item not listed on the agenda) 4.02 Public Comment - Comments to the Board on issues and items not listed on the agenda. Pursuant to California State law, the Board of Supervisors is prohibited from taking action on any item not listed on the agenda. Please note that Public Comment is in two separate sections. One, at the beginning of the regular agenda, which will last a maximum of 15 minutes, with another to follow as the last item on the regular agenda with no time limits. 4.03 Letter of Opposition to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) for AT&T's Request to Discontinue Landline Service - AT&T is a "Carrier of Last Resort" (COLR) and, thereby, required to provide "Plain Old Telephone Service," also known as POTS or landline phone service, upon request to all residential and business customers. POTS has a uniform set of minimum service standards and regulations that does not extend to new technologies that provide similar service, such as wireline Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP). While it is not unusual for one company to replace another as a COLR, AT&T is requesting permission to abandon its COLR obligation without finding a replacement. If approved by the CPUC, over 580,000 affected AT&T customers would be left with fewer options in terms of choice, quality, and affordability. Alternative services, such as VoIP and wireless, have no obligation to serve a customer or to provide equivalent services to AT&T landline customers, including no obligation to provide reliable access to 9-1-1 or LifeLine program discounts. In Butte County, AT&T's request would affect 29 census-designated places including incorporated jurisdictions and unincorporated communities. The CPUC is holding a number of public hearings on this proposal in February and March as well accepting public comment on their website at www.cpuc.ca.gov/proceedings-and-rulemaking/cpuc-public- participation-hearings. The Sheriff's Office and County Administration recommend the Board approve a letter of opposition to the CPUC - action requested - APPROVE THE LETTER AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN. (County Administration/Sheriff) 4.04 Contract Amendment with Katherine Raven, MD for Forensic Pathology Services - The County Coroner is required to perform autopsies and inquests into certain deaths under Government Code sections 27460 et seq. There are circumstances during which the Coroner must work in consultation with a board-certified forensic pathologist certified by the American Board of Pathology. The Sheriff's Office entered into a contract with Katherine Raven, MD for forensic pathology services in December, 2020, with the intention of utilizing Dr. Raven as a secondary pathologist. In July, 2022, the contract was amended to increase the not-to-exceed amount when Dr. Raven became the primary pathologist. The contract is being amended again to ensure the rate being paid for full autopsy services remains competitive with amounts being paid by other Counties. The rate for a full autopsy is being increased from $1,700 per case to $2,000 per case. In addition, the need for Dr. Raven's services has exceeded estimates done in 2022 and the maximum amount payable under the contract needs to be increased. The Sheriff's Office recommends amending the contract with Katherine Raven, MD for Forensic Pathology Services. The amendment increases the rate being paid for full autopsies and the maximum payable amount by $1,600,000, not-to-exceed $2,577,872. All other terms remain the same - action requested - APPROVE CONTRACT AMENDMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Sheriff) 4.05 Approval of Intergovernmental Transfer of Public Funds - As of September 27, 2023, California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) and the Department of Behavioral Health entered into two non-financial Intergovernmental (IGT) agreements for transfer of public funds for Cal- AIM Payment Reform for Drug Medi-Cal (DMC) and Specialty Mental Health Services (SMHS). DHCS is authorized to instruct the State Controller's Office to withhold a fixed percentage of state funding allocated to the department. Due to a DHCS implementation delay, DHCS is requesting manual transfers until the agreed upon withhold process is established in 2024. Transfers must be made for DMC in the amount of $27,986 and SMHS in the amount of $2,595,342. The Department requests approval to make these transfers to DHCS in the amount of $2,623,328. Once the transfers are made, DHCS will begin releasing the applicable reimbursement to the County. The fiscal impact associated with these payments to DHCS will net out to zero - action requested - APPROVE ACTION AND AUTHORIZE CHAIR TO SIGN. (Behavioral Health) 4.06 Contract Amendment with Valley Oak Children's Services (VOCS) for CalWORKs Stage One Child Care Management Services - VOCS is a private nonprofit organization that provides Stage One Child Care Management Services to CalWORKs Welfare-To-Work (WTW) participants engaged in, preparing for, or participating in employment in the pursuit of self-sufficiency. There are three stages of childcare funding. Counties receive Stage One funding and the State of California provides funding directly to VOCS for CalWORKs Stages Two and Three child care. This sets up secure pricing for all levels of CalWORKs childcare services. In order to participate in an approved WTW activity for Stage One, participants often need supportive services to assist them in meeting their childcare needs. The Department of Employment and Social Services contracts with VOCS to provide childcare management services. Program participation has increased steadily over the years and VOCS is currently serving an average of 343 children. The increase in program participation has created the need to amend the contract with VOCS. The original contract was approved by the Board on May 10, 2022 and amended on April 11, 2023. The Department recommends the Board of Supervisors amend the contract with VOCS for CalWORKs Stage One Child Care Management Services. The amendment increases the maximum payable amount by $3,761,775, not-to-exceed $12,946,625.

(Public Health) 4.08 Consideration to Adopt the Butte County Recharge Action Plan - On June 27, 2023, the Board of Supervisors approved a letter to the Sustainable Groundwater Management Office of the Department of Water Resources (DWR) in response to Governos March 10th Executive Order (EO), N-4-23, which made it easier for agencies to divert floodwater to recharge groundwater. In the letter, Butte County communicated its approach and intent to pursue enhanced natural recharge. In addition, the letter outlined a series of activities to pursue, including the creation of a Butte County Groundwater Recharge Action Plan (Recharge Action Plan). Staff worked with an ad hoc committee of the Butte County Water Commission and Technical Advisory Committee to draft the Recharge Action Plan. On December 6, 2023 the Water Commission considered the final draft Plan and unanimously recommended the Board approve and adopt it. The Plan identifies five main actions with accompanying implementation steps that Butte County will pursue in partnership with other agencies, such as the groundwater sustainability agencies in the Vina, Wyandotte Creek, and Butte Subbasins. If approved, the Recharge Action Plan will also be shared with DWR to further communicate the County's intent to advance recharge activities and to support our request for additional technical assistance and funding to aid local agencies and the County in these efforts - action requested - ADOPT THE BUTTE COUNTY RECHARGE ACTION PLAN.
