SUMMARY
Since 2006, the Youth and Family Services Bureau (YFSB) of the Hayward Police Department has had an annual Memorandum of Understanding with the Alameda County Health Care Services Agency to provide Medi-Cal Administrative Activities (MAA). YFSB staff play a critical role in connecting community members to Medi-Cal covered services. In recognition of this function, the County provides an annual reimbursement for the cost of staff time spent providing this service. This reimbursement is re-invested to support YFSB programming that contributes to the overall strength and success of the YFSB model. The amount of this reimbursement varies year to year, but is expected to be between $400,000 and $500,000 for FY19-20. Council approval is requested to authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute the annual MAA MOU with the County and appropriate related funds. There is no general fund impact with the approval of this item.
