Crawford County approves multiple Human Services contract amendments and retained‑revenue plans
Loading...
Summary
Human Services presented and the board approved numerous C‑1/C‑2 amendments to FY25/26 MH/ID/EA contracts, retained‑revenue plans and small grants for local partners covering training, transportation, shelter supplies, ramps and equipment. One commissioner abstained from an FCCA‑related vote due to a board conflict.
At the April 8 meeting the Crawford County Board of Commissioners approved a bundle of Human Services contract amendments and retained‑revenue plan changes affecting multiple local providers.
Human Services staff requested an MOU amendment with consultant Dennis Marceli that changes only the consulting rate; the amendment carries no additional cost to the county and will be paid from CIT grant funds. The board also approved an amendment to the Administrative Services agreement between Crawford County Human Services and the Northwest Behavioral Health Partnership to allow CCHS to request a one‑ to three‑month advance on administrative funding if needed.
Commissioners approved C‑1 and C‑2 amendments to FY25/26 MH/ID/EA contracts and retained‑revenue plans for several partners, including Crawford County Mental Health Awareness Program (retained revenue for the Journey Center training, drop‑in supplies, roof replacement and fire‑response work), Family Service and Children’s Aid Society of Venango County (transportation and children’s toys), The Arc of Crawford County (Special Olympics equipment, transportation and rental space), Titusville Area Senior Citizens Corporation (holiday meal supplies), Filonia Industries (purchase of a shredder), Youth Advocate Programs (household supplies), Common Roots (ramp and dolly), and Crawford County Drug and Alcohol Executive Commission (hygiene kits and household supplies). Approved line items specifically referenced training, shelter renovations, porch ramps, toys, transportation and program supplies.
One contract approval involving the Family Children and Community Association (FCCA) recorded an abstention: a commissioner stated that, "Due to my position as a board member of the FCCA, it's best if I abstain." The remainder of the Human Services items passed by roll call.
Human Services also requested and received approval to ratify an ERAP2 refund handled through the Department of Human Services Bureau of Financial Operations and to fund staff training and travel costs for ID support coordinators (11 Dell Pro laptops and accessories, total $16,331.48, paid with ID pay for performance funding). The board approved several smaller training, travel and equipment purchases that staff said carry no direct county cost or are paid from specified grant/fund sources.
What’s next: Human Services will implement the retained‑revenue plan allocations with the named community partners and process the approved purchases and contract modifications.
