County staff reported updates on the mental health region and related operational items. They said state funds routed through the region are being processed to complete outstanding payments and that vehicle titles for several vehicles — including a Jeep Renegade and two Dodge Journeys — were located and mailed to regional staff so the region could take possession where appropriate.

Staff said one vehicle (a 2019 model with roughly 26,000 miles) will remain with the county; another older vehicle (an early-2000s model) is currently in the county parking lot and needs battery work. Titles mailed to the region will allow county insurance coverage to be adjusted once the region takes possession, staff said.

The board also discussed juvenile-detention claims. Staff said detention providers are now sending itemized invoices for nurse visits and stays and that billings will move to monthly rather than quarterly cycles. That shift should provide more consistent revenue flow to cover wages and other costs. Supervisors described past pain points when large, itemized bills arrived in lump sums and said monthly billing and clearer invoicing were a reasonable improvement.
