September 24, 2024  The City must approve the Performance Contract in order for the CSB to receive the allocations of State and Federal dollars that fund the services provided by DBHS. The State and Federal dollars are received through the VDBHDS Office of Community Contracting.  The Community Service Boards (CSBs) shall submit their performance contracts to the local governments in their service areas for review and approval pursuant to Section 37.2-508 or 37.2-608 of the Code of Virginia. Discussion:  City Council approved the original FY 2024/FY 2025 Community Services Performance Contract by Resolution R-23-37 adopted on September 12, 2023.  Normally the City’s Performance Contract with VBHDS is a two year agreement.  However, last year VDBHDS established a working group to make substantial amendments to the form Performance Contract.  Because of the substantial amendments, it is necessary for City Council to separately approve the revised Performance Contract, which will apply for FY 2025. Financial Impact:  The total projected Cost for Services in FY 2025 under the Performance Contract is $17,177,720.  The Cost for Services will be paid primarily from State and Federal funds. There is a local match of $1,158,494, which is budgeted as part of the FY 2024 BHS Budget. Recommended Action:  Adoption of a resolution. Next Steps Following Council Action:  The City Manager will ensure that the Director of BHS takes the necessary steps to notify VDBHDS of the City Council’s approval of the Amended FY 2024/FY 2025 Performance Contract.
