43. IGA WITH THE ARIZONA HEALTH CARE COST CONTAINMENT SYSTEM FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES Approve an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Maricopa County (the County) and the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) which in effect extends the existing arrangement for the County's funding of behavioral health services for a term of one year from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026. County funding for services to the seriously mentally ill (SMI) under this IGA will be $82,083,354 for FY 2025-26. This increases the level of County funding based on an adjustment for inflation for services to the seriously mentally ill by $3,908,731 over the funding paid under the previous IGA in FY 2024-25. The FY 2025-26 IGA also includes funding for non-SMI services in the amount of $3,366,705 and substance abuse services in the amount of $1,489,871 for the one-year term which is equal to the FY 2024-25 level. The IGA will be in effect upon signature of the last party and shall remain in effect until June 30, 2026. The IGA may be amended, extended, or terminated pursuant to the IGA provisions, including a 90-day termination without cause provision. Total County funding for behavioral health services in FY 2025-26 under the IGA will be $86,939,930 for a one-year term. (C-18-25-066-X-00)
