Summary
An amendment to the county's Community Behavioral Health contract was withdrawn at the meeting after staff discovered the posted agenda packet lacked the most recent draft; the director said she will bring the corrected amendment back at a future date.
The Board of Supervisors did not take action on a proposed amendment to the agreement between the County of Lake and Community Behavioral Health on Jan. 6 after Director Elise Jones said staff had not uploaded the most up-to-date version of the revised contract to the agenda portal. Jones had introduced the item as an amendment adjusting pass-through rates and other fiscal terms; supervisors asked detailed questions about rates, liability, facility-use agreements and service outcomes.
During the discussion staff discovered the document on the meeting portal was not the final draft intended for board consideration. Director Jones apologized and withdrew the item, asking the board to continue the matter to a later date once the correct documents are posted. County counsel confirmed the board could continue the item. No vote was taken and no contractual changes are effective.
Director Jones said the department is preparing to issue a request for proposals for some services and that the withdrawn amendment would be re-posted for board consideration once the corrected language is available.
