The Lake County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on March 4 to approve Amendment No. 5 to the agreement with Willow Glen Care Center for adult residential support services and specialty mental health services, authorizing an additional $1,385,000 for fiscal years covering 2022'25.
Director Elise Jones of Lake County Behavioral Health participated virtually and told the board Willow Glen primarily provides placements for people under Lanterman'Petris'Short (LPS) conservatorship and that the county is seeing growth in that population. Jones said county behavioral-health staff expect costs to increase and plan to reach out to Willow Glen and other contracted providers and to issue a request for qualifications for additional services to help implement Senate Bill 43.
A supervisor moved to approve Amendment No. 5 and authorized the board chair to sign; another supervisor seconded the motion. The board recorded the vote as 3-0 in favor.
The amendment covers adult residential support and specialty mental health placements; the contract term and the specific expenditure breakdown were described in staff materials presented to the board. No additional public testimony was recorded on the item.
Behavioral Health staff said they will coordinate contracting and possible procurement steps to expand capacity as needed to follow state requirements related to SB 43 implementation.
