39. IGA WITH ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SERVICES FOR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES TO REMANDED JUVENILES Approve an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Maricopa County and the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) authorizing ADHS or its contracted Regional Behavioral Health Authority (RBHA) to provide mental health services to remanded juveniles (of a screening agency, an evaluation agency and mental health treatment agency) when evaluation is ordered by the Maricopa County Superior Court pursuant to Arizona Revised Statutes, (A.R.S.) Title 36, Chapter 5, Article 4 and treatment is ordered by the Superior Court pursuant to Arizona Revised Statutes, Title 36, Chapter 5, Article 5. The IGA authorizes ADHS or its RBHA to expend up to $200,000 from the “Non-SMI” payment funds that the County already provides to ADHS pursuant to the IGA executed in connection with Arnold vs. Sarn for behavioral health services as referenced in agenda item C-39-12-032-3-00. This IGA is in effective July 1, 2012 or upon the date of signature of both parties if after July 1 and is coterminous with the IGA between the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors and ADHS executed in connection with the parties’ statutory duties to provide mental health services to the Seriously Mentally Ill and which is identified as Maricopa County IGA # (C-39-12-032-3-00) (“the SMI IGA”). This Agreement shall remain in effect until June 30, 2013, unless further amended, extended, or terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. A “remanded juvenile” means a person under the age of eighteen who has been transferred to the criminal division of the Superior Court pursuant to A.R.S. § 8-327 or who has been charged with an offense pursuant to A.R.S. § 13-501; and has not been sentenced, pursuant to A.R.S. § 13-701 on the charges pending against the juvenile in the criminal division of the Maricopa County Superior Court pursuant to A.R.S. § 8-327 or A.R.S. § 13-501. The Department of Health Care Mandates and ADHS, in conjunction with the Superior Court, previously negotiated to provide evaluation services for remanded juveniles using funds that are not part of the County’s mandated obligations under Arnold v. Sarn. Funding for this IGA is capped at $200,000 and is included in the $3,366,705 “Non-SMI Payment” amount noted in the behavioral health services IGA between Maricopa County and ADHS executed under agenda item C-39-12-032-3-00. Executing this IGA will not increase the County’s cost for SMI and Non-SMI treatment under the agreement executed in connection with Arnold v. Sarn. This IGA will remain in effect until June 30, 2013. (C-39-12-032-3-01)
