Memorandum
Date: May 6, 2025
To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Elise Jones, Director of Behavioral Health Services
Subject: Consideration of Amendment No.1 to the Agreement Between County of Lake and Hilltop Recovery Services for ASAM Level 1.0, 2.0, 3.1 & 3.5 Services for FY 2024-25 in the Amount of $1,963,200.
Executive Summary:
The County previously entered into an Agreement with the Contractor effective July 1, 2024, to provide specialized services. Due to higher-than-anticipated utilization of these services, actual costs have exceeded original projections. As a result, the County and the Contractor wish to amend the Agreement to increase the maximum compensation by $300,000, bringing the total not-to-exceed amount to $1,963,200. Additionally, the amendment will incorporate CPT codes to support accurate billing for Peer Support Specialist services.
