Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. For FY02/03, DHH agrees to transfer
				  financial resources in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to
				  the direction and management of CAHSD. The financial resources will be adjusted
				  based upon the final appropriation for CAHSD.
B. CAHSD will submit to DHH an annual budget
				  request for funding of the cost for providing the services and programs for
				  which CAHSD is responsible. The format for such request shall be consistent
				  with that required by the DOA and DHH. The request shall conform with the time
				  frame established by DHH. The CAHSD Executive Director will submit new and
				  expanded program requests to the Office of the Secretary prior to submission to
				  DOA.
C. CAHSD shall operate within
				  its budget allocation and report budget expenditures to DHH.
D. Revisions of the budget may be made upon
				  written consent between CAHSD and DHH and, as appropriate, through the
				  Legislative Budget Committee's BA-7 process. In the event any additional
				  funding is appropriated and received by DHH that affects any budget categories
				  for the direction, operation, and management of the programs of mental health,
				  mental retardation/developmental disabilities, addictive disorders services,
				  and public health, and related activities for any other such DHH entities or
				  regions, CAHSD will receive additional funds on the same basis as other program
				  offices. In the event of a budget reduction, CAHSD will receive a proportionate
				  reduction in its budget.
E. CAHSD
				  shall bill DHH agencies for services they provide in a timely manner.
F. CAHSD shall not bill any DHH agency more
				  than is shown in Attachment 1 of the MOU.
G. CAHSD shall assume all financial assets
				  and/or liabilities associated with the programs transferred.
H. CAHSD shall be responsible for repayment
				  of any funds received which are determined ineligible and subsequently
				  disallowed.
I. DHH shall continue
				  to provide to CAHSD certain support services from the Office of the Secretary
				  and from the Office of Management and Finance which are available to the
				  regional program offices of OCDD, OMH, OAD, and OPH. The services CAHSD will
				  continue to receive, at the level provided to other regions are: Communications
				  and Inquiry; Internal Audit; Fiscal Management; Information Services; Facility
				  Management; Lease Management; and Research and Development.
J. Any increases from OAD must comply with
				  the resource allocation law and CAHSD will participate in cost benefit analysis
				  and outcome.
K. CAHSD will comply
				  with the resource allocation formula and adjustments in the funding for CAHSD
				  may be made according to this formula.
L. If the implementation of the area
				  structure changes the means of financing in a way that would negatively impact
				  total funds received by CAHSD for mental health services, OMH will structurally
				  guarantee the ability to bill for/collect funds for the services provided, or
				  fund the district in the amount the total CAHSD/OMH portion of its budget will
				  not be decreased from what would be allocated or collected by the other
				  regions.
M. Funding for all
				  medications needed by OMH forensic clients, (except those originally residing
				  within the CAHSD region) who are released from the hospital into forensic
				  community-based beds within CAHSD, shall be provided to CAHSD through this MOU.
				  Funds will be based on average cost for annual number of clients, and OMH
				  Forensic and CAHSD staff shall coordinate the verification of clients served
				  and the cost of medications provided.
