Agenda 09/22/2015 Item #16D13 9/22/2015 16.D.13.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve an agreement with the David Lawrence Mental Health Center to
govern the allocation of the state mandated match amount in the FY 16 budget ($1,154,000) and
also to allocate additional funds in the amount of$230,800 to fill a funding gap due to state non-
funding of the AHCA Medicaid match programs for a total of$1,384,800.
OBJECTIVE: To provide County mandated match for mental health services for the citizens of Collier
County.
CONSIDERATIONS: The David Lawrence Center (DLC) is a not for profit mental health facility in
Collier County. The DLC is funded, in part, via state contracts for the provision of mental health
services. Pursuant to Section 394.76, Florida Statutes, a local match to these state funds is required, and
has been traditionally budgeted for each fiscal year. According to the state, the FY 15-16 match has not
yet been calculated and can increase or decrease throughout the year. For planning purposes, the State
recommends that the FY 14-15 match of$1.286,526.72 be used.
In recent years, Collier County has been eligible to participate in Intergovernmental Transfer Programs
(IGT's) with the State Agency on Health Care Administration (AHCA) whereby local governmental
funding allocated for health related service provision [such as for mental health programs] was matched
with federal dollars through state sanctioned programs. The use of the local dollars budgeted in the
Collier County budget ($1,154,000), along with the additional match funds went to community partners
such as the David Lawrence Center. Under these programs, in the prior fiscal year, the David Lawrence
Center received a 20% match increase over and above the funds allocated in the County budget (an
additional $230,800). These funds were used to provide mental health services to those in need in Collier
County. The authorization for the state/federal matching programs was not renewed at the state level for
the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2015. Therefore, the additional match funding noted above is not
available to the David Lawrence Center for the current fiscal year.
On August 7th, DLC provided a letter requesting the $230,800 gap be funded this year (attached) by
County government. Several areas of evidence were provided to support the request. On August 14t the
County Manager responded indicating that he would recommend to the Board of County Commissioners
that the request be appropriated for the 2016 fiscal year, which begins on October lst. This
recommendation is based on the dramatic growth in the number of "Baker Acted" clients over the past
several years and the need for the DLC to continue to service this need effectively. Also, the decision to
eliminate the federal match for the AHCA program came very late in most agencies' budget cycle, making
it all the more difficult to identify a replacement revenue source(s)for this program.
The County Manager further noted that he could not assure that Collier County would be able to cover
any or all of this funding loss in future fiscal years. Hence, as part of this recommendation, he asked the
DLC to work with Community and Human Services staff and other appropriate agencies to develop
strategies to address a portion or all of these services and attendant costs beginning in the 2017 fiscal year
and beyond. The County Manager asked for an update on the status of this effort no later than December
31. 2015.
FISCAL IMPACT: The total County-David Lawrence Center contract amount of$1.384,800 is provided
by $1,154.000 presently included in the Proposed FY 16 budget and $230,800 to cover the funding gap
created by the non-renewal of state/federal matching programs. The $230,800 will be sourced from the
General Fund and appropriated as part of the FY 16 adopted budget through an amending resolution at the
final budget hearing on September 24, 2015.

for Board approval. -JAB
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this
executive summary.
RECOMMENDATION: To approve and authorize the Chair to sign an agreement with the David
Lawrence Center for a total amount of $1,384,800 for FY 16, and to authorize any necessary budget
amendments.

Re: Low Income Pool (LIP)funding in the coining budget year
Dear Mr. Burgess:
I am in receipt of your letter of August 7,2015 regarding the unfortunate and abrupt loss of the federal
match component within the State's Agency on Health Care Administration (AHCA)intergovernmental
transfer program.You have requested that Collier County appropriate funds within our annual operating
budget for the 2016 fiscal year to the David Lawrence Center to cover the loss of these funds in the
amount of S230,800.
In response to your request, I am prepared to recommend to the Board of County Commissioners that the
request be appropriated for the 2016 fiscal year,which begins on October I'. My recommendation is
based on the dramatic growth in the number of`Baker Acted"clients over the past several years and the
need for your agency to continue to service this need effectively.Also,the decision to eliminate the
federal match for the LIP program came very late in most agencies' budget cycle,making it all the more
difficult to identify a replacement revenue source(s)for this program.
All of that said,I cannot assure you that Collier County will be able to cover any or all of this landing
loss in future fiscal years.Hence,as part of this recommendation, I am asking you to work with our staff
and other appropriate agencies to develop strategies to address a portion of or all of these services and
attendant costs beginning in the 2017 fiscal year and beyond. I would ask that you work directly with our
Community and Human Services Director, Kim Grant and provide her with an update on the status of this
effort not later than December 31,2015.
I appreciate the indispensable services you and you excellent staff provide to our community and i look
forward to enhancing our strong partnership.
Sincerely,
✓�' / /

DAVID LAWRENCE CENTER
Restoring tx' Rebuilding Lives
August 7, 2015
To: Leo E. Ochs Jr., Collier County Manager
Dear Mr. Ochs:
I would like to bring to your attention an unfortunate by-product of the recent Low Income
Pool negotiations between the federal government and the state of Florida. Due to the
manner in which the new policies were shaped, financial support provided to the David
Lawrence Center (DLC) to assist with treatment for those who are classified as low income
has been decreased.
In recent years, Collier County has been eligible to participate in the Intergovernmental
Transfer Programs (IGT's) with the State Agency on Health Care Administration (AHCA)
whereby local governmental funding allocated for health-related service provision [such as
for mental health programs] was matched with federal dollars through state sanctioned
programs. The use of the local dollars included in the Collier County budget, along with the
additional matching funds, went to community partners such as DLC. Under these
programs, in the prior fiscal year, DLC received a 20% match over and above the funds
allocated in the County budget (an additional $230,800).
This process will change starting October 1, 2015 whereby the federal match will no longer
be available in this manner. Therefore, the additional match funding noted above is not
available to the David Lawrence Center for fiscal year 2016. We respectfully request that
the prior year's level of funding to DLC be maintained which would require an increase of
$230,800 in the Collier County budget.
The requested support is critical for DLC to meet the current and growing needs of the
community. Research strongly supports that one in four individuals (25%) will struggle with
a mental health challenge, and minimally one in nine will struggle with addiction; DLC
services are vital to ensuring a healthy, safe and vibrant community.
With continued community growth, enhancements in efficiencies and expanded access to
care, DLC has been able to greatly increase our community impact. Attached please find
some graphic representations of how DLC has increased services and the numbers of
individuals served to meet Collier County needs. To note just a few (as of State fiscal year
ended June 30, 2015):
Packet Page -1637-
9/22/2015 16.D.13.
• Total number of individuals served increased from 7,633 in FY '13 to 8,916 in
FY '15. (17% increase)
• Total number of Crisis Stabilization Unit (Inpatient Unit) Admissions increased
from 1,175 in FY '13 to 1,611 in FY '15. (37% increase)
• Individual and Family Counseling visits increased from 10,680 in FY '13 to
13,789 in FY '15. (29% increase)
• Medication management visits for children and adults increased from 9,946
in FY '13 to 12,329 in FY '15. (24% increase)
Additionally, to support the growing community demands, DLC launched an "Open Access-
Same Day" Assessment Clinic in FY '14. The Clinic provides immediate access to care. It
truly is the behavioral health and addictions version of "urgent care." Now, we have the
ability to assess and immediately treat individuals who are in urgent need, preventing the
escalation of a condition which many times results in an emergency requiring a visit to a
local hospital ER or a Baker Act situation. This new process has improved access to care
resulting in both prompt and proactive care, increased numbers of individuals served,
reduced costs for those responding to emergencies, and increased safety for the individual
and others.
DLC continues to maintain high standards of service and quality patient care; the patient
satisfaction rate across all clients and programs is 95%.
Our community, like almost all communities across the nation, is challenged with an
increased demand for mental health and addiction services. This is supported by the Collier
County Community Health Assessment which denoted "Collier County experienced a
remarkable increase in the percentage of individuals that reported poor mental health,"
Growing demand is also substantiated by tracking data that I recently received from the
Collier County Sheriff's Office. The number of Baker Acts CCSO is facilitating and bringing
to DLC has dramatically increased, and at a higher pace year over year. CCSO Baker Acts
have increased 142% since 2008 (245% since 2002). CCSO brought 1,226 individuals
to DLC in FY 2015. The majority of these individuals required Crisis Stabilization, while
others were assessed and determined they could be effectively treated in an outpatient
setting. This collaboration results in expediting care for those in need as well as decreasing
demand on County personnel and facilities.
In addition to the current community needs for service, Collier County is experiencing
nationally unprecedented growth and is projected to continue to have steady increases in
residents over the next 15 years. As a result, it is critical that we ensure our human services
infrastructure is secure and has the resources to expand as needed. Given the projected
growth of approximately 60,000 new residents into Collier County across the next 10 years,
it is fair to estimate that over 10,000 will experience some type of mental health and/or
addiction challenge. Since DLC is the only comprehensive facility able to treat those in
need, regardless of the patient's ability to pay, County funding is critical to support current
needs and assist with addressing the growing demand.

9/22/2015 16.D.13.
Lastly, I feel it is important to put current funding levels in context relative to like-providers
in near-by communities. Charlotte and Lee counties support their local community mental
health centers at an average of $7.04 per/capita. This compares to $3.73 per capita in
Collier County which correlates to approximately$1.1 M less annual funding (based on 2014
Collier population estimates).
Given these historic and current realities, we sincerely hope you approve this request to
keep DLC funded at our current level. This funding is critical for DLC to be able to meet the
needs of Collier County residents. Without this support, the number of residents we serve
will certainly decrease and waiting times to access needed care will greatly increase.
Over the past 47 years, DLC has demonstrated its commitment to providing the highest
quality care and an ability to effectively restore and rebuild lives. In doing so, we feel our
community is stronger, more safe, and better equipped to support the demands of a growing
population. We hope you agree; protecting these services, through approval of this request,
is the right thing to do for the Collier County community.
I am more than happy to meet to discuss this request in greater detail and will provide any
additional information you may need in your decision making process.
Respectfully Submitted,
Scott Burgess
Chief Executive Officer
