Memorandum
Date: September 1, 2020
To: The Honorable Moke Simon, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Rob Howe, Chief Probation Officer
Subject: Approve Agreement between the County of Lake, Probation Department and Hilltop Recovery Services
Executive Summary: (include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
Hilltop Recovery Services provides intensive residential alcohol and drug treatment services for Lake County residents. The Lake County Probation Department, Lake County Department of Social Services and Lake County Behavioral Health are all using, or have used, their services.
This Agreement with Hilltop Recovery has been in place since 2012. The Lake County Probation Department has a significant continuing need for Hilltop Recovery’s services.
This Agreement does reflect an increase in Hilltop’s daily rate from $100.00 to $130.00. Looking at our past Agreements, I believe this to be the first rate increase since 2015. Although the daily rate is increasing, our maximum of $50,000 in any single Fiscal Year remains the same and is currently budgeted.
Please consider this memorandum as my request to have the Board of Supervisors approve this Agreement and authorize the Chair to sign.
