Allegany County committee approves amendment to Acasa contracts to formalize reimbursements

An Allegany County committee voted to amend contracts between County Community Services and Acasa to formalize payment and reimbursement procedures.

The motion to amend the contracts was moved by Pancho, seconded by an unnamed member, and carried with the presiding officer calling for votes. The presiding officer recorded one opposed vote; no individual vote names for yes votes were specified in the transcript. The county attorney said copies of the amended contracts will be provided to the committee in the future.

Committee members asked whether the reimbursement process would require separate approval. The presiding officer and county attorney clarified that the amended contracts will explain how payments and any reimbursements will be made, indicating the reimbursement process will be spelled out in the contract language rather than handled as a separate action during the meeting.

Later in the same session, Ricky Swires moved to adjourn; a member identified as Arms seconded the motion, and the presiding officer called the question with all voting in favor.

The committee did not specify dollar amounts, effective dates, or which specific contract provisions will change; those details were not provided in the transcript and will be contained in the contract copies the county attorney will supply.
