11758.10. (a) Within 60 days after notification of the final allocation of each fiscal year pursuant to Section 11814, the board of supervisors of each county requesting to contract for federal funding from the state to provide alcohol and other drug prevention, treatment, and recovery services shall submit to the department, in accordance with Section 11798, a contract for these services.
(b) The executed contract shall remain in effect to provide the basis for advance payment until the next year’s contract is executed. The purpose of these county contracts shall be to provide the basis for reimbursements pursuant to this division and to coordinate services pursuant to Part 2 (commencing with Section 11760) in a manner that avoids fragmentation of services and unnecessary expenditures.
(c) A contract for alcohol and other drug abuse services shall not become final until executed by both the contracting county and the department. The contract shall be executed by September 30 of the fiscal year in which the contract will be effective, and shall cover the fiscal year period from July 1 to June 30, inclusive.
(d) The payments shall be based on appropriations made by the Legislature, and monthly payments shall be adjusted to reflect reductions and deletions made by the Legislature. The department shall have the option to either terminate or amend the contract to reflect the reduced funding. The payments shall continue at the adjusted level until the contract is amended to reflect the final Budget Act enacted for the fiscal year and the final allocation to the counties.
