Committee approves amendments to HHS contracts covering crisis response, CCS services and psychiatric supervision
Summary
Committee approved multiple contract amendments with CCS providers, crisis response services and psychiatric supervision (including Cooley regional psychiatric services/Dr. Trammell) and accepted two small contracts entered by the administrator for adult-family-home supervision and family allocation oversight.
Health & Human Services staff presented a package of contract actions and requested committee approval for several contract amendments.
The packet included two contracts under $10,000 entered with administrator approval: Highland Springs Counseling to provide supervision for adult family homes (reimbursable through the CCS program) and an agency to oversee family-allocated funds for client services. Staff then reviewed amendments to existing contracts for CCS service facilitation and providers, including the Southwest Workforce Development Board, Driftless Counseling, Northwest Counseling & Guidance, Ruth Roots Residential, Red Maple Consultation, You Are Enough Counseling and Cooley Regional Psychiatric Services. The packet notes the crisis response program was expanded over the past year.
Patricia asked for a single motion to approve all amendments noted on the agenda; a motion was made and seconded. The committee approved the listed amendments by voice vote.
No dollar totals for all amendments were read into the record during the motion beyond the smaller, previously discussed amounts in the expenditures packet; staff said the network-switch purchase earlier approved would be reimbursed via existing funding streams.
The committee did not discuss separate procurement protests or appeals during the vote. Staff said expanded crisis response capacity may reduce out-of-county placement costs by offering local intensive services.
