Agenda Item 7.1
DATE:March 2, 2021
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM:Linda Smith, City Manager
SUBJECT:Funding Agreement and Memorandum of Understanding for Axis Community
Health’s Mental Health Urgent Care Pilot Project
Prepared by: Linda Smith, City Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider authorizing the City Manager to enter into a Funding Agreement
with Axis Community Health, as well as a Memorandum of Understanding with the cities of
Pleasanton and Livermore, to provide funding to the proposed Mental Health Urgent Care pilot
project.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
By motion, authorize the City Manager to enter into the Funding Agreement with Axis Community
Health and the Memorandum of Understanding with the cities of Pleasanton and Livermore.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The cost to fund a one-year pilot project is approximately $277,126. There is also an anticipated
start-up cost of $44,369. The total project cost is $321,495; of this amount, $250,000 is expected
to be offset by a grant from Alameda County Behavioral Health. The cities of Dublin, Pleasanton
and Livermore will split the remainder of costs at $23,831.67 each. The City of Dublin has
adequate funding available in the current operating budget to cover this expense.
DESCRIPTION:
Background
At its November 2020 meeting, the City Council received an overview of mental health resources
available in the Tri-Valley region. The report included a list of providers and their related
services. The report also included information on an opportunity to work with Axis Community
Health on an innovative approach to address more immediate mental health needs, through the
establishment of a regional Mental Health Urgent Care Center.
The COVID pandemic has exacerbated an already-increased need for mental health services in the
169
Page 2 of 3
Tri-Valley. Healthcare providers, law enforcement, and schools agree that this issue needs to be
addressed before it reaches a crisis point. And while there are traditional resources available,
these options typically result in a delayed response to the person experiencing mental health
challenges. It can take weeks to get an appointment or to navigate the insurance matters if they
have insurance at all. The inability to conduct a timely assessment and identify a treatment plan
often results in calls to 911, trips to the emergency room and, at times, voluntary or involuntary
holds at John George Psychiatric Hospital. Additionally, the current behavioral health system is
fragmented, affecting the ability to connect patients and their families with resources to help guide
and support them in achieving wellness.
In an effort to address these issues, particularly the impact to law enforcement, the cities of
Dublin, Pleasanton and Livermore began discussing mental health support options and held
virtual meetings with Axis Community Health in the summer of 2020. Axis Community Health has
been a long-standing health partner in the region and has a sizeable behavioral health program.
The discussions were wide ranging and substantive, resulting in the proposal to establish of an
urgent care center model for the region.
Proposal for Mental Health Urgent Care Center
Under the proposal, the Axis Mental Health Urgent Care Center will be available to all members of
the community, regardless of income or insurance status. Individuals and families with urgent
mental health needs will be able to call for same-day appointments via telehealth, and ultimately,
in person subject to COVID conditions. The Center will serve as a central entry point for
assessment, triage, treatment, and care coordination for anyone seeking mental health treatment,
regardless of insurance type or status. Like a medical urgent care setting, the Center will provide
assessment and timely connection to services, in a setting that is less costly to operate than an
emergency department.
In terms of staffing, the Center will include a care coordinator, a licensed therapist, and an on-call
psychiatrist. The service will be under the direction of Axis’s Chief of Behavioral Health Services,
who is a licensed psychologist. Staff will utilize mental health screening tools, conduct bio-
psychosocial diagnostic assessments, and provide brief counseling and trauma treatment.
Psychiatric care will be provided via telehealth for patients that require medication management,
and patients will be connected to an ongoing treatment provider that is appropriate to their needs.
Like medical urgent care, staff will see patients with an immediate need, and assist in coordinating
care that connects patients (and families) to ongoing care with a provider and behavioral health
support resources.
Axis is proposing to utilize a telehealth model as well as at its physical site at W. Las Positas Blvd.
in Pleasanton. In the initial pilot, hours will be 3:00 pm to 8:00 pm, Monday through Friday, but
could be expanded or modified, dependent upon funding availability and community need.
Services would be available for ages 5 and above, and available to individuals, couples, and
families.
It is anticipated that the Center would handle 15 to 20 care coordination visits per week, and an
estimated 15 to 20 counseling visits per week. An estimated 500 unique patients would be served
in year one, based upon 20 patients per week with an average of three to six visits per patient over
170
Page 3 of 3
the course of several weeks as they get situated with a provider for longer term care.
Funding Partners
The cost to fund a one-year pilot project is approximately $277,000. There is also an anticipated
start-up cost of approximately $44,000. This will provide Axis with two months of funding to
mobilize for a full year of patient operations.
There are several funding partners for this proposal, including the largest contributor of Alameda
County Behavioral Health (ACBH). ACBH awarded the pilot project with a grant of $250,000. The
cities of Dublin, Pleasanton and Livermore will split the remainder of the cost equally as outlined
in the attached Memorandum of Understanding and summarized below. If the funding from ACBH
does not ultimately materialize, the three cities would split the cost of the Center equally in the
pilot project period. As proposed, the City of Dublin would serve as the fiscal agent and directly
enter into the Funding Agreement with Axis.
Table 1: Fair Share Contributions by Cities
Staff at the three cities and at Axis are also in preliminary discussions with local health care
providers, such as Stanford, Sutter, and Kaiser to provide future financial assistance to the Center
and to potentially work in partnership with Axis during and beyond the initial project year.
Staff is recommending that the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into the Funding
Agreement with Axis and sign the Memorandum of Understanding with the other two cities to share
in the funding of this effort.

FUNDING AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE CITY OF DUBLIN AND
AXIS COMMUNITY HEALTH FOR
MENTAL HEALTH URGENT CARE SERVICES PILOT PROGRAM
THIS AGREEMENT is made by and between the City of Dublin (“City”) and Axis Community Health
(“Axis”) (together sometimes referred to as the “Parties”) as of _________________ 2021 (the “Effective
Date”).
RECITALS
This Agreement is made with respect to the following facts and purposes which each of the parties
acknowledge and agree are true and correct:
a. The need for mental health services in the Tri-Valley has increased dramatically over the last
decade and has been further exacerbated by the COVID-19 Pandemic.
b. Residents of the Tri-Valley have limited access to immediate mental health services, often resulting
in individuals and families calling 911, utilizing an emergency room for immediate treatment,
navigating a complicated delivery system, or waiting until an appointment with their provider is
available.
c. To address this growing need and lack of access, Axis has proposed the innovative solution of
creating a Mental Health Urgent Care Center which will be available to all members of the
community, regardless of income or insurance status.
d. The City of Dublin along with the Cities of Livermore and Pleasanton, want to support this solution
by contributing to the financial cost of the Mental Health Urgent Care Center, and have entered into
a Memorandum of Understanding clarifying the funding responsibilities of each entity, with the City
of Dublin serving as the fiduciary agent and contracting agency with Axis.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
PROJECT PROPOSAL: Mental Health Urgent Care Services for Tri-Valley Residents
Prepared by:
Sue Compton, CEO
Dr. Jennifer Penney, Chief of Behavioral Health Services
Valerie Jonas, Chief Development Officer
A Growing Need in Our Community
The need for mental health services in the Tri-Valley has increased dramatically in the last decade and has
been further exacerbated by the COVID pandemic. A growing number of people are experiencing
depression and anxiety, and the number of involuntary detentions for 72-hour psychiatric hospitalizations
(5150s) continues to increase. Stanford HealthCare-ValleyCare’s 2019 Community Health Needs
Assessments identified behavioral health/mental health as the number one priority out of eleven health
needs in the Tri-Valley. All three Tri-Valley school districts indicate growing concerns regarding student
mental health issues, and local law enforcement agencies are recording growing numbers of psychiatric
calls, which involve all ages, from children to seniors.
Limited Access to Immediate Treatment
Tri-Valley providers, including Axis Community Health, have responded to the increasing need for mental
health services by expanding capacity for ongoing treatment. Yet, even with increased capacity, patients--
particularly those who have not yet established care with a provider—frequently wait weeks for an
appointment with a licensed therapist or psychiatrist. Families that have health insurance face a confusing
array of options for services that requires an intake process and often results in placement on a waiting list
for services. Uninsured patients have limited choices for services and, because service providers are
overburdened, often face delays in accessing care. Patients and families are left with the choice of calling
911, utilizing an emergency room for immediate treatment, navigating a complicated delivery system, or
waiting until an appointment with their provider is available. All of these choices are especially difficult in a
crisis situation.
The inability to access assessment and treatment in a timely manner negatively impacts patients and those
who care about them, including families and friends. The waiting period for assessment and treatment
prolongs patient suffering and can exacerbate symptoms, leading to a more acute situation. Patients in
distress arrive with increasing frequency at emergency rooms at Stanford Health Care – ValleyCare, Sutter
Health, John Muir, Kaiser Permanente or Alameda County’s John George Psychiatric Hospital—either
voluntarily or involuntary (5150). Local law enforcement agencies are often involved as well, both in
situations that could be handled effectively with a mental health professional or in more concerning
situations in which the patient is combative or potentially a risk to others.
Once assessed in an emergency department setting, a lack of community-based resources often results in
a challenge in connecting the patient and family with non-emergency room assessment, treatment and care
coordination. The result is a significant gap in accessing continuing behavioral health care services. Those
who reach out for assistance from law enforcement face the difficult choice of being 5150’d or having to
185
Attachment 1
Consulting Services Agreement between City of Dublin and April 1, 2021
Axis Community Health for Mental Health Urgent Care Services Pilot Program Exhibit A – Page 2 of 5
seek help via local medical and social service entities – which can be especially problematic for issues that
arise outside of standard business hours. Families are often left with the difficult choice of having their
loved one sent to John George Hospital in San Leandro for a 72-hour hold or trying to manage the situation
on their own. This type of situation is especially concerning for youth that are experiencing a psychiatric
emergency, as parents must choose to have their child placed on a psychiatric hold at a site in Oakland –
which can be additional trauma for the child – or they must try to handle the situation with little or no
professional assistance.
As these scenarios demonstrate, the behavioral health care system is fragmented and siloed, and services
are not interconnected. Patients arrive at care entry points that may not have the capability of coordinating
with other available resources. This makes transitions from provider-to-provider and/or care level-to-care
level difficult for patients and their families. This is especially challenging when patients are released from
72-hour holds and are not given resources for continuing care. Additionally, there is not an effective system
for connecting patients and their families to resources to help guide and support them in achieving
wellness.
Current resources in the Tri-Valley include an array of private providers who are affiliated with local
hospitals and health plans. Axis Community Health is the predominant provider of counseling services for
low income and uninsured Tri-Valley residents. There are also several smaller nonprofit agencies that
provide limited services. Most providers – both private as well as nonprofit – have full caseloads. There
are three additional nonprofit organizations that provide some support services, however, they are not
providers of direct services.
Proposal: Establishment of a Mental Health Urgent Care Center
In response to these substantial gaps in access to care and coordinated support, Axis proposes an
innovative solution: the creation of a Mental Health Urgent Care Center. This center will be available to all
members of the community, regardless of income or insurance status. Individuals and families with urgent
mental health needs will be able to call for same-day appointments. During the COVID pandemic, services
will be provided via telehealth; long term plans would include a walk-in access point as well. The center will
serve as a central entry point for assessment, triage, treatment, and care coordination for anyone seeking
mental health treatment, regardless of insurance type or status. Like a medical urgent care setting, Axis
MH Urgent Care will provide assessment and timely connection to services--in a setting that is less costly
than an emergency department.
The MH Urgent Care staff will include a care coordinator, a licensed therapist, and an on-call psychiatrist.
The service will be under the direction of Axis’s Chief of Behavioral Health Services, who is a licensed
psychologist. Staff will utilize mental health screening tools, conduct bio-psychosocial diagnostic
assessments and provide brief counseling and trauma treatment. Psychiatric care will be provided via
telehealth for patients that require medication management, and patients will be connected to an ongoing
treatment provider that is appropriate to their needs. Like medical urgent care, staff will see patients with
an immediate need, and assist in coordinating care that connects patients (and families) to ongoing care
with a provider and behavioral health support resources.
Patients visiting the MH Urgent Care Center will be assessed to determine where their condition falls in the
diagnostic range that includes: 1) mild to moderate, 2) moderate, or 3) severe. Typically, the majority of
patients in a community setting are in the mild to moderate range. We anticipate that the majority of the
186
Attachment 1
Consulting Services Agreement between City of Dublin and April 1, 2021
Axis Community Health for Mental Health Urgent Care Services Pilot Program Exhibit A – Page 3 of 5
patients that use the MH Urgent Care Center will be treatable at the site and/or via telehealth services. A
small percentage (estimated at 5%) will require medication prior to being able to benefit from treatment.
Under the guidance of the program’s psychiatrist, these patients will be referred to higher levels of care.
Staff will have the ability to conduct assessments for patients presenting with suicidal ideation and will
deescalate and avert 5150s when possible. Axis’s behavioral health providers are experienced at
intervening when suicidal thoughts are presented, and most often, following careful assessment and
development of a safety plan, a 5150 can be avoided.
Many patients will require medication either right away or eventually. The psychiatrist will prescribe for
patients enrolled in Medi-Cal plans; patients with other insurances will be referred to their providers for
medication. Even for patients who are medication-resistant, which is frequently the case, a visit to the MH
Urgent Care Center will help pave for the way for such intervention in the future.
Axis proposes piloting the MH Urgent Care model utilizing a telehealth model as well as at its site at W. Las
Positas Blvd. in Pleasanton. In the initial pilot, hours will be 3:00 pm to 8:00 pm, Monday – Friday, but
could be expanded, dependent upon funding availability and community need. Services would be available
for ages 5 and above, and available to individuals, couples and families. This service would be available to
anyone in the community, regardless of insurance type or lack of insurance. The MH Urgent Care Center
would provide an estimated 15 - 20 care coordination visits per week, and an estimated 15 - 20 counseling
visits per week. An estimated 500 unique patients would be served in year one, based upon 20 patients
per week with an average of 3 – 6 visits per patient over the course of several weeks as they get situated
with a provider for longer term care.
A New Community Resource
During the planning phase, Axis will engage with key community agencies and organizations to get their
input on developing and launching the MH Urgent Care Center. Once opened, Axis will publicize the MH
Urgent Care Center throughout the community. In particular, Axis will outreach to community agencies and
organizations that are frequently the first place a person having a mental or behavioral health difficulty
contacts. These include: health providers, safety-net organizations, the faith community, NAMI, police
departments, school personnel, and city personnel. Axis routinely receives calls from many of these
entities seeking information on how to best assist individuals who contact them for help. An Axis MH
Urgent Care Center would be the appropriate resource for all such inquiries.
Key Benefits of the MH Urgent Care Center
Axis believes strongly that this new model of access could have significant benefits for patients and the
health care system. Positive outcomes will include:
Reducing the number of emergency room visits for mental health needs
Reducing the number of calls for assistance from law enforcement
Reducing the number of involuntary psychiatric holds (5150s)
Increasing willingness of individuals to access treatment because the burden of cost will be
removed
Increasing willingness of individuals to access treatment because the Care Coordinator will assist
with connections to other needed resources
Decreasing the amount of time individuals with a mental health need wait to access treatment

Reducing stigma associated with accessing mental health care by providing mental health urgent
care in a model that is similar to the medical urgent care model
Reducing stigma by integrating MH Urgent Care Center services alongside other services at the
Axis health center
Axis welcomes the opportunity to bring this bold, innovative MH Urgent Care Center service to our
community. Given our mission of providing community health care and our non-profit status, Axis is
uniquely positioned to address this gap in access to treatment. We believe partnering with Tri-Valley health
entities seeking to effectuate a true advancement in access to mental health services by utilizing
community benefit and other resources is a forward-thinking approach to the problem of immediate
treatment for urgent mental health needs.

INDEMNIFICATION
Axis shall indemnify, defend with counsel acceptable to City, and hold harmless City and its officers,
elected officials, employees, agents and volunteers from and against any and all liability, loss, damage,
claims, expenses, and costs (including without limitation, attorney’s fees and costs and fees of litigation)
(collectively, “Liability”) of every nature arising out of or in connection with Axis’s performance of the
services called for or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement, except
such Liability caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of City.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, to the extent this Agreement is a “construction contract” as defined by
California Civil Code Section 2782, as may be amended from time to time, such duties of Axis to indemnify
shall not apply when to do so would be prohibited by California Civil Code Section 2782.
The Axis’s obligation to defend and indemnify shall not be excused because of the Axis’s inability to
evaluate Liability or because the Axis evaluates Liability and determines that the Axis is not liable to the
claimant. The Axis must respond within 30 days to the tender of any claim for defense and indemnity by
the City. If the Axis fails to accept or reject a tender of defense and indemnity within 30 days, in addition to
any other remedy authorized by law, so much of the money due the Axis under and by virtue of this
Agreement as shall reasonably be considered necessary by the City, may be retained by the City until
disposition has been made of the claim or suit for damages, or until the Axis accepts or rejects the tender of
defense, whichever occurs first.
