Board approves annual contract with ABC Woodland for supported employment services
Summary
Commissioners approved an annual purchase and service contract with ABC Woodland to provide supported and center-based employment and transportation services for adults with disabilities; county-funded and not reimbursed by the state.
Houston County commissioners voted to approve an annual purchase and service contract with ABC Woodland for community-based supported employment, center-based supported employment and transportation services.
A county staff member said the agreement is a long-term arrangement that provides supported employment and training for adults with disabilities and noted this contract is largely county-funded without state reimbursement. Staff explained this year's "not to exceed" contract amount is lower than prior years due to changes in client census and service mix. The board approved the contract by voice vote.
Why it matters: the contract supports employment and training services for adults with disabilities in the county and is funded at the county level, which the presenter said is rare among similar contracts.
Board members asked about the provider signature block and who signs on behalf of ABC Woodland; staff explained the signature had been updated to reflect a different signatory. Commissioners approved the contract with no recorded roll-call tally beyond a voice vote.
