Lake County accepts two amendments to Oregon Health Authority agreements covering crisis diversion and a small public health salary supplement
Summary
The board approved a Seventh Amendment adding diversion and mobile crisis funding to a community mental health IGA and a Third Amendment to the public health IGA that adds $236 for salaries; both motions passed 3–0.
Lake County commissioners on Oct. 15 approved two amendments to intergovernmental agreements with the Oregon Health Authority.
Heidi Martinez, director of Outback Strong, presented the Seventh Amendment to the OHA 2024–2025 intergovernmental agreement, saying it addresses diversion and mobile crisis funding. "The funds were welcome," Martinez said. Commissioner James Williams noted that counties had recently debated whether to sign the 2025–2027 agreement at the Association of Oregon Counties meeting but said he was comfortable approving the 2024–2025 amendment; Williams moved to approve, Vice‑Chair Barry Shullanberger seconded and the motion carried, 3–0.
Public Health Director Judy Clarke presented the Third Amendment to the OHA 2025–2027 intergovernmental agreement for public health services and said the amendment would add $236.00 for salaries. Commissioner Williams moved to approve the amendment, Vice‑Chair Shullanberger seconded and the board approved the motion, 3–0.
The board recorded the approvals as administrative steps to accept state-provided funds allocated for crisis services and a small salary augmentation for the public health program; both measures were passed unanimously.
