Summary of Request:
Gary Ernst has provided effective fiscal consultation for Mendocino County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (BHRS) since 2008. He is uniquely familiar with BHRS fiscal procedure and process and has made recommendations that have been cost effective. Mr. Ernst has knowledge to assist in the financial side of determining the billing and costs of doing business with the BHRS system of Administrative Service Organizations.
On July 1, 2023, BHRS entered into Agreement No. PA-23-68, MH-23-002 in the amount of $49,000 with Mr. Ernst for fiscal review services. The State is currently catching up on cost reports, yielding an increased response and need for fiscal documentation review. The proposed Amendment increases the total amount for fiscal review services to $79,000, to enable Mr. Ernst to complete, upload, and fix any errors that might come up on the past and previous year’s documents, due to the State’s recent action. These additional services will ensure this essential fiscal process continues without auditing issues or financial penalties from the State.

Return to staff for alternative handling.
