A-3. IGA WITH THE ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SERVICES FOR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES TO THE SERIOUSLY MENTALLY ILL Approve an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Maricopa County (the County) and the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) which in effect extends the existing arrangement for the County's funding of behavioral health services for a term of one year. County funding for services to the seriously mentally ill (SMI) under this IGA will be $39,483,497 for FY2010-11. This increases the level of County funding based on medical inflation for services to the seriously mentally ill by $1,880,167 over the funding paid under the previous IGA in FY2009-10. The FY2010-11 IGA also requires the County to fund non-SMI services in the amount of $3,366,705 and substance abuse services in the amount of $1,489,871 (LARC) for the one-year term which is equal to the FY2009-10 level. The IGA will be in effect upon filing with the Arizona Secretary of State and shall remain in effect until June 30, 2011. The IGA may be amended, further extended or terminated pursuant to the IGA provisions, including a 90-day termination without cause provision. Total County funding for behavioral health services in FY2010-11 under the IGA will be $44,340,073 for a one-year term. (C-49-10-053-2-00)
