Memo _ =;; 1~1;~A - ~ ~ccs '~ ,' ii c !:.'J To: Orange County Board of County Commissioners L~~ Attention: Barry Jacobs, Chair From: Judy R. Truitt, Area Director CC: John Link Gwen Harvey Date: 03/03/06 Re: Request to Release One-Time Supplemental Funding to OPC-LME to Facilitate Divestiture of Cross Disability Services OPC Area Program/LME has entered negotiations with XDS, Inc. to assume operational management for Cross Disability Services. XDS, Ina.. is anon-profit organization established by the existing staff of the OPC service program, which provides assertive community treatment services to individuals with multiple diagnoses. The actual transfer of management responsibility is expected to occur on May 1, 2006, but XDS has requested early transfer of transition funding to facilitate their organization's start up of human resources, IT, insurance, legal fees, and quality improvement activities. OPG Area Program would support the request in an effort to assure a smooth transition for staff and consumers, Please find attached a brief history of XDS, Inc., as well as their transition plan, and a spreadsheet identifying a portion of their early pre-divestiture expenses. In ah effort to assure successful transition of OPC's service programs in Orange County, the BOCC and OPC Area/LME Beards agreed to provide bridge funding for programs in Orange County equal to one month operating expenses. Cross Disability Services covers all three counties in the OPC catchment area, so the proportionate one-month operating expense in Orange County would be $67,000. As part of the budget planning process for FY06-07, OPC Area/LME Boards approved the use of continuation of effort monies already provided to OPC from the counties and staff set aside $25,988 for this program. The remaining $41,012 was fequested and approved as one-time supplemental funding from the BOCC, • Page 1
