Centre County staff presented a contract addendum to incorporate adult services into an existing agreement with Service Access and Management Inc. (SAM). Julie, a county human‑services staff member, said the amendment aligns adult services with other departmental services — mental health, intellectual disabilities, early intervention, drug and alcohol, transportation and aging — under a two‑year contract.

Julie told commissioners the addendum increases the contract total by $104,038 to include adult services and that while the total contract figure may appear large, the scope covers multiple departments over two years. "I know that's a little sticker shock of the $2,000,000, but it is for two years," she said, describing the multi‑departmental reporting and block grants folded into the agreement.

Kathy presented two contract renewals for 07/01/2025–06/30/2026: the Arc of Centre County for intellectual‑disability services (contract total $99,300; county match $4,578) and the Center for Community Resources for crisis intervention services (contract total $50,000; county match $2,305). Commissioners voted to add the three MH/ID/EI/drug and alcohol items to next week's consent agenda for formal approval.

Staff said most of the funding for these contracts is state provided; however, given the state budget impasse discussed earlier, the county is fronting payments and awaiting reimbursement as appropriate.
