Butler County approves multiple human-services contracts, provider rates and aging services renewals
Summary
The commissioners approved short-term Drug & Alcohol provider agreements, Children & Youth placement rates, and multiple Area Agency on Aging contracts and rates (nutrition, adult day care, ombudsman services, and legal representation). Several items were explicitly identified as funded from grants or autonomy accounts, not county general funds.
Butler County’s Human Services staff presented and the commissioners approved a set of human-services contracts and rate renewals on June 3.
Drug & Alcohol: Amanda Feltenberger requested approval of provider agreements for the period Jan. 1–June 30, 2026 with Abstinent Living at the Turning Point, UPMC Western Behavioral Health at Twin Lakes, and Glenbeigh. The packet lists daily rates and service types; for example, Twin Lakes residential withdrawal-management (3.7WM) is listed at $429/day and Glenbeigh’s 3.7WM rate is $554.18/day. Feltenberger also sought and won approval to hang Naloxboxes in county buildings (see separate article).
Children & Youth: Feltenberger presented a Butler County Children & Youth/Juvenile Probation contract with the County of Chester for out-of-county placements (7/1/26–6/30/27) listing $741/day for detention and $530/day for shelter placements; the board approved the contract.
Area Agency on Aging: Beth Herold requested several renewals for 7/1/26–6/30/27: a park rental paid from the Chicora Senior Center Autonomy Account; a Nutrition Services renewal with The Nutrition Group with congregate lunch at $5.55/meal, boxed congregate at $5.69/meal, enhanced congregate at $12.24/meal, frozen home-delivered and other rates specified and special projects capped at $103,500; adult day care daily and half-day rates for providers Concordia Health and Lifesteps; Ombudsman services with Catholic Charities at a total of $84,260; and legal representation by Charlton Law at $50/hour. Herold noted that several items involve Aging Block Grant funds and not county general funds. All items were approved unanimously.
