Clallam County to sign MOU with North Olympic Healthcare Network after HRSA-related edit

Clallam County staff presented a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with North Olympic Healthcare Network at the Nov. 3 work session that would maintain medical and behavioral‑health services for county populations. Staff told commissioners the MOU had been revised to remove the juvenile-services address to meet Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) submission requirements; staff said a separate juvenile MOU will be returned to the board later.

Staff said the current document is the third presentation of this MOU and that HRSA would not accept the earlier draft because it listed multiple locations. Commissioners asked for clarification about whether the change affected program content; staff said only a handful of words were removed and that no substantive program changes were made.

Action and next step: staff said the county will sign the revised MOU and that the juvenile‑services MOU will be drafted separately and brought back for approval. No formal roll‑call vote was recorded in the work session transcript; staff described the next step as administrative signature and follow up at the next regular meeting.
