Williams County commissioners voted July 15 to approve a Title IV-E contract with Community Inner Peace Homes, Inc., authorizing Job and Family Services to purchase child placement services not to exceed $35,000 for the period July 9 through Dec. 31, 2025.

The board passed Resolution 3 22 after staff described the negotiated agreement and the county’s need for placement options. The resolution language in the meeting packet identified the contract as a Title IV-E agreement and set the term and cost cap. A roll-call vote followed the motion and the chair announced the motion carried.

The county clerk recorded the roll call: Commissioner Westfall, Commissioner Laurel and Commissioner Rommel all voted yes. The contract was presented as a county purchase executed through Job and Family Services; commissioners did not discuss changes to the contract terms on the record.

Staff will proceed with contract execution through the Job and Family Services office.
