Staff said the requisition was for submersible pumps for the Muddy Creek lift station. \"What was the requisition? It's the water and sewer department needs a couple, submersible pumps for the Muddy Creek lift station,\" a staff member said. Commissioners responded, \"So moved,\" indicating a motion to approve the requisition; no dollar amount or vendor was recorded in the transcript.

Staff also presented an item described as \"acknowledge the receipt of 10.003 acres in Franklin Township to the City of Franklin,\" which the commissioners moved to acknowledge as a receipt for an expedited type-2 annexation. The action recorded in the transcript was an acknowledgment of receipt rather than an approval of the annexation ordinance or transfer of title.

Near the end of the meeting a commissioner moved to go into executive session \"for the acquisition of property pursuant to ORC 121.22(G)(2).\" A second was recorded and the chair called for a roll call. The transcript records two roll-call responses: \"Mr. Grossman? Yes.\" \"Mr. Young? Yes.\" The recording then reaches \"Mrs. Jones?\" and the transcript ends before her response is captured.

Why it matters: The commissioners completed routine administrative business for public-works equipment and acknowledged receipt of a parcel for annexation. They then invoked the Ohio statute permitting closed-door sessions to discuss property acquisition, but the available transcript stops before the roll call was fully recorded.

What's missing: The transcript does not record the requisition cost, the annexation paperwork beyond receipt, nor the final roll-call outcome for the executive session motion.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Warren County Board of Commissioners Meeting July 8, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board acknowledged receipt of a type-2 expedited annexation of 10.003 acres to the City of Franklin, approved a requisition for submersible pumps for Muddy Creek lift station, and moved to an executive session to discuss property acquisition under ORC 121.22(G)(2); the transcript captures an initial roll call but not the final vote count.","taxTitle","Warren County, Ohio","taxId",48381,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_46":80,"_48":81,"_50":82,"_52":83,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":84,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":85,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6551619,"Warren County behavioral health official outlines FY24 spending, service changes and planned step-down facility",889,2660000,3549000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5331668-d104ac921796253f73bd630da2c8b088&start=2660&end=3549","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5331668-d104ac921796253f73bd630da2c8b088/thumbnail_2660000.jpg","/articles/6551619/Warren-County/Ohio/Warren-County-behavioral-health-official-outlines-FY24-spending-service-changes-and-planned-step-down-facility","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6551619-1141088570416c64fc28dff0f28c5b0a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770498768&Signature=KwzfP9CEB8zGF966bhVu8IA5q-vMaGQ-LGBU01bv61uMt2z~P17jktBpkEu~t11CRGEdf6oPtv4ke7mDsV8~MsW0VSkp32-fuy3R5qun~nAdG4tczhOdqtJMt1PNfQ8H7K1PrvCRcpIa2xavxqWRxHXBoh3ByXmsD9P6vZfz2sEWX1SGHcXBBTE87BjjntqH1DDcfNR9Zb5rtEwpan9y8c2FqjY-u8Ao4WvF3PUixGP6LkO1lZuQ-opPKtJcIuopgsj3ygt6YopxTB2cy7GxXrqc33zi-Ad6AQzGRRSkm8vd6TM7q~MtORPaz5B5~1hKOBMNmdzn6bc1vQS~cuZTIg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A presenter identified as Amy gave the Warren County commissioners an overview of the local behavioral-health board's FY24 annual report, program changes and plans to bolster crisis and prevention services.

\"FY24 is the first year that we actually did spend out our budget,\" Amy said, describing work to balance contracts and contend with funding changes. She said the board is planning for fiscal uncertainty tied to Medicaid and potential property-tax changes and is meeting with providers to preserve mandated services.

Amy said Solutions Community Counseling, a long-time provider, closed in February and Greater Cincinnati Behavioral Health Services has taken on roughly 800 former Solutions clients. She described an increase in suicide rates in the county and said a suicide prevention coalition with bylaws and community partners has been formed.

The board has established a data warehouse with Ascend Technologies to collect provider outcome data and improve decision-making. Amy said the board is also part of a regional project to open a 16-unit step-up/step-down facility in Lebanon, intended for people who need short-term supports but not hospital-level care; Warren-Clinton's board area will have five designated beds. Amy said the site is renovated and a provider, Tower House, is lined up; the facility is expected to begin in September.

On crisis response, Amy said the state's mobile crisis proposal could shift some services to state management; the board is preparing to have a voice in the implementation and to preserve local investments that complement statewide changes. She described the MRSS (mobile response and stabilization services) program as operating \"seamlessly\" in the region because Butler Behavioral Health covers Butler, Warren and Clinton under the current structure.

Amy emphasized prevention work and named local prevention providers, including Beach Acres Parenting Center, Talbot House and Safe on Main, while noting prevention services are often not billable to Medicaid and thus depend on grant or board funds.

Why it matters: The presentation outlined near-term changes in care providers and capacity, rising suicide trends, and a new regional crisis/crisis‑alternatives facility that aims to reduce pressure on hospitals, the criminal-justice system and the county crisis response network.

Amy invited commissioners to contact her with questions and said the board will continue conversations with providers and local partners to maintain sustainability amid funding uncertainty.","A county behavioral health presenter said FY24 was the first year the agency spent its full budget, announced provider changes that shifted roughly 800 clients to Greater Cincinnati Behavioral Health Services, noted rising suicide rates and described a regional 16-bed step-up/step-down facility coming to Lebanon this fall.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":42,"_43":89,"_45":89,"_46":90,"_48":91,"_50":92,"_52":93,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":94,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":95,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6551622,"Warren County sheriff reports staffing gains, outlines drug task force activity and budget risks",3579000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5331668-d104ac921796253f73bd630da2c8b088&start=3579&end=3579","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5331668-d104ac921796253f73bd630da2c8b088/thumbnail_3579000.jpg","/articles/6551622/Warren-County/Ohio/Warren-County-sheriff-reports-staffing-gains-outlines-drug-task-force-activity-and-budget-risks","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6551622-bc0f298d908c402fc1fffe827603a628/orig.mp4?Expires=1770498768&Signature=ob0UwJHiCdZ6fLl1ZkXnkJN688swKbuc6TeyPYuIVewLRmtuIu26G3a1hmy643axWTQsZBgVrzAHDEQqPcXo3S01KMP2Fuwv9r~9~HX5RR3hII2eiKtblQq7Tp6Tk-XJBVfK1Iv~PGTGhSzt95LxoBaxus704BsHzPhTnXb~~GVBp-o7BwMJVyPyAOS-8FSLKs1WLK5uO1QYgJs2~S065BeQ~ER2VOw-dQyEyqGC4R~Hp5Mb0UEKd4IOOOAdVyfvQpk27nSY84sBUhZL3ZIBNxvhtj1DikXCEjCDhAPIqTwZdst8fZXyAZXtkKQa7e20eZGAHOQW-FoxOh0dQvy5IQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Sheriff Derek Riley updated the Warren County Board of Commissioners on staffing, operations and drug enforcement activity during a presentation at a county commissioners meeting.

\"I'm proud to say...we've hired 32 people since taking office,\" Riley said, describing hires across patrol, corrections and court services and six memoranda of understanding negotiated with the sheriff's union to adjust duties and create internal advancement. He said the office has started using Axon body-worn cameras for road patrol and purchased two jail canines using commissary proceeds.

Riley and Steve Arismith, commander of the Warren County Drug Task Force, described the task force as a multi-jurisdictional unit focused largely on supply lines from Dayton and Cincinnati. \"We range between 17 and 20 full-time personnel,\" Arismith said, and he described regular operations and raids outside the county intended to disrupt sources of supply. Both said fentanyl and methamphetamine are the county's dominant drug threats.

Riley cited service-call data showing 50% of calls for service originate in Deerfield Township and that Turtle Creek Township accounts for about 13% of calls; by comparison, South Lebanon accounted for about 11% but the city contracts for five deputies. He singled out the Racino and a large truck-stop (Flying J at the I-71 interchange) as frequent locations for thefts, overdoses and lockouts.

Speakers described enforcement challenges involving flavored THC and hash products sold in retail vape shops. Riley and Arismith said those products are packaged to resemble harmless items and can test variably in crime labs; investigators use undercover purchases and lab analysis to build cases. Riley said some product sources include out-of-state manufacturers and international shipments.

Commissioners and Riley discussed the potential fiscal impact of pending state legislation that could limit property tax millage revenue. Commissioner Jones raised the question of what county law enforcement is statutorily required to provide if millage revenues drop, noting that some services the county currently funds'such as the drug task force and enhanced road patrol'are not statutory mandates. Riley listed the jail and court services as statutory obligations. \"If you struck our budget by 20% ... I'm required to run that jail. I'm required to run those courts, period,\" Riley said, adding that detectives and the drug task force would likely be reduced in such a scenario.

Riley also announced internal promotions, naming Nick Marconi and Brian Payne as newly promoted captains and introducing them to the commissioners.

Why it matters: The presentation combined operational updates'new hires, equipment and canine purchases'with a caution about possible state-level tax changes that could force cuts to nonstatutory public-safety programs. Commissioners asked for follow-up, including quantitative figures showing what cuts would mean for services and what local partners might be asked to share.

Riley and the task force invited continuing coordination with the commissioners and other local governments to sustain multi-agency drug enforcement and other shared services.","Sheriff Riley told the county commissioners his office has hired 32 people since taking office, deployed new equipment and canines, and that the county's multi-jurisdictional drug task force remains active against fentanyl and methamphetamine trafficking; he warned state millage cuts could force reductions to nonstatutory services.","actionData","errors"]
