ISSUE: City Council consideration of the Alexandria Community Services Board (Board)
FY 2018 Performance Contract with the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services.
RECOMMENDATION: That City Council approve the Board’s Performance Contract with the State (Attached).
BACKGROUND: Virginia law requires Community Services Boards to prepare an annual Performance Contract and have the Contract approved by the local governing body (Virginia Code Section 37.2-508). The Performance Contract, an agreement with the State that serves as the primary accountability and funding mechanism for the relationship between the Board and the State, specifies funding levels for state and federal funds that are disbursed through the State and sets service and reporting requirements for the Board. The Performance Contract includes revenue, expenditure, and staffing levels that are consistent with Board programs included in the City’s Approved FY 2018 Budget for the Department of Community and Human Services.
FISCAL IMPACT: Approving the Performance Contract allows the Board to receive
$7.5 million in State revenues and $2.1 million in Federal funds from the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services.
