Summary of Request:
On February 9, 2017 the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) released a Request for Proposal (RFP) for medical health services for the Mendocino County Jail. A new provider was selected and contracted with effective October 17, 2017 to provide the medical health services for the jail. The CFMG agreement and invoices under their care were closed out while transitioning to the new provider. Recently the Sheriff’s Office received two invoices for catastrophic care for inmates who were at the jail during the agreement term with CFMG. These invoices were slow in coming while other billing for the charges occurred. This agreement with CFMG will allow for payment on the two final invoices to close out the account. In addition these invoices were an unanticipated expense and were not included in the 2018/19 budget. MCSO does not have the budgetary capacity to absorb the expense. As this was an unanticipated expense and therefore, unbudgeted in the Fiscal Year 2018-19 Budget, the Sheriff’s Office will collaborate with the Executive Office Budget team to present funding considerations for the Board of Supervisors during the First Quarter Budget Report in November 2018.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Return to staff for alternate handling.
