The full story
The board authorized Southside Behavioral Health to enter into a performance agreement with the Commonwealth of Virginia, staff said, a routine requirement for localities that formed community services boards (CSBs). Staff told the board the Code of Virginia requires each locality that is part of a CSB to authorize participation in the statewide performance contract; the item is administrative and applies across Virginia. A county staff member described the contract as exhaustive and said every locality must provide the authorization even though the board may not understand all details.

Staff noted the action is procedural: it permits the regional behavioral-health authority to enter into the statutory performance agreement with the Commonwealth.
