Fremont County approves Title 25 payments to SageWest and Cloud Peaks Counseling
Summary
The Board approved payment of Title 25 claims for behavioral-health-related care; the motion listed payments to SageWest Healthcare and Cloud Peaks Counseling and passed unanimously. The transcript contains two slightly different SageWest amounts.
Fremont County commissioners approved payments to Title 25 claimants during the meeting on May 24, authorizing funds to two providers that serve behavioral-health needs.
The vote matters because Title 25 claims are county liabilities for court-ordered or statutorily-covered mental-health and substance-use treatment; timely payment is required by state law and affects county outlays.
A motion was made and seconded to pay Title 25 claimants; the motion as announced in the meeting listed SageWest Healthcare and Cloud Peaks Counseling as recipients. The motion passed after the chair called for the vote: “All those in favor? Aye. Opposed? Motion passed.”
The transcript contains an internal inconsistency in the amount listed for SageWest: an early itemization shows $45,693.38 while a later readback listed $45,006.93; Cloud Peaks Counseling was listed at $2,600. Commissioners did not record a roll-call breakdown in the public record; the vote was taken by voice and recorded as passed.
There was no separate debate recorded on the merits of the claims in the public meeting; the board moved on to other items following the vote.
