Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
On August 2, 2022, the Board of Supervisors moved approval to further consider opportunities for improved access to substance use services in Mendocino County via RFP, in alignment with County policy.
Summary of Request:
On November 7, 2017, "Measure B" received a two-thirds majority of the votes by the County's voters adding Chapter 5.10 to the Mendocino County Code entitled the "Mental Health Treatment Act" adopting a County Transaction (Sales) and Use Tax for the specific purpose of funding improved services, treatment, and facilities for persons with mental health conditions.
In accordance with Measure B's goals of providing necessary infrastructure to support and stabilize individuals with behavioral health conditions, including addiction and neurological disorders, the intent of this RFP is to establish or implement comprehensive treatment and recovery program services which provide a full spectrum of substance use treatment, harm reduction, and recovery services for youth and/or adults in Mendocino County.
In addition to voter prerogative, the overt and demonstrable need for expanded substance use treatment services in Mendocino County, coupled with feedback from key community stakeholders have informed the advancement of this RFP. Stakeholders include Dr. Christina Lasich, Priest Martinez, Paul Murguia, Dr. Jenine Miller, Ukiah Police Department, Jill Ales, Mendocino County Probation Department, Health Management Association, and Mendocino County Office of the Public Defender.
