IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

 

November 1, 2012

 

 

To declare the existence of an emergency with respect to the need to approve the exercise of the second option year of Human Care Agreement Contract No. RM-10-HCA-MHRS-114-BY4-SC between the Department of Mental Health and Community Connections, Inc., for mental-health services to eligible District residents, and to authorize payment for the services received and to be received under the contract.

 

 

RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the “Human Care Agreement Contract No. RM-10-HCA-MHRS-114-BY4-SC Option Year Two Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2012”.

 

            Sec. 2. (a) There exists an immediate need to approve the exercise of the second option year of Human Care Agreement Contract No. RM-10-HCA-MHRS-114-BY4-SC (“HCA”) between the Department of Mental Health and Community Connections, Inc., for mental-health services to eligible District residents.

(b)  On February 18, 2012, the Department of Mental Health exercised Option Year Two of the HCA, which period extends through February 17, 2013. 

(c)  Due to higher than anticipated utilization and to maintain a continuity of care, the cost of the HCA through the 12-month period is projected to be $1,989,879.04, thereby necessitating Council approval.

(d) Council approval of the HCA is required to allow these mental-health services to continue uninterrupted and to avoid disruption in care from transferring consumers to other mental-health providers.

 

Sec. 3. The Council of the District of Columbia determines that the circumstances enumerated in section 2 constitute emergency circumstances making it necessary that the Human Care Agreement Contract No. RM-10-HCA-MHRS-114-BY4-SC Option Year Two Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2012 be adopted after a single reading.

 

Sec. 4. This resolution shall take effect immediately.
