Oakwood reports regional MOU to expand co-responder mental health response
Summary
City manager reported Oakwood signed a memorandum of understanding May 2 with five neighboring cities and regional partners to implement a co-responder program for mental-health crises.
Oakwood's city manager told council on May 5 that the city signed a memorandum of understanding May 2 to participate in a co-responder program with five nearby cities and regional partners.
The report said the MOU includes Centerville, Miamisburg, West Carrollton, Moraine, Montgomery County, the Miami Valley Communications Council (MVCC) and a South Community partner. The manager described the arrangement as "a major step forward in how we respond to mental health ... in our region," and said the partnership aligns resources and expertise to create "a more compassionate and effective approach to supporting individuals in crisis across our communities." (City manager remarks.)
Council received the report as an informational item; no council action was recorded during the meeting to authorize funding or assign responsibilities. The manager did not specify funding sources, start date, staffing levels or operational protocols during the report. Council members did not take a formal vote on the MOU in this session.
Follow-up steps, including any required intergovernmental agreements, staffing commitments or budget amendments, were not presented at the May 5 meeting and would need further council review before operational implementation.
