Harney County Court approves behavioral‑health contract and several budget resolutions
At its Dec. 17 session Harney County Court approved several formal actions: it authorized County Judge Bill Hart to sign a professional services contract with Symmetry Care to preserve behavioral‑health services while state contract processes continue; it adopted Resolution 2025‑34 to appropriate $3,010 to Treatment Court Fund 207‑009 for participant rent and utilities; it adopted Resolution 2025‑35 abolishing the county’s ARPA fund (Fund 105) on the grounds that remaining monies had been expended; and it adopted Resolution 2025‑36 to appropriate an unexpected $25,000 lottery distribution to Fair Fund 252 capital outlay for event‑center equipment.

The motion to authorize the judge to sign the Symmetry Care professional services contract was made and seconded and carried by voice vote; the court emphasized that the authorization is intended to prevent a lapse in services if a state CFAA is not in place at year end. The treatment court appropriation was described as necessary because funds needed to be expended before year‑end; the ARPA fund abolishment was described as an administrative housekeeping action after the monies were fully expended. The fair fund appropriation reflected a larger‑than‑anticipated lottery distribution and will fund capital outlay needs.

All motions and resolutions were approved by voice vote with no roll‑call tallies recorded in the meeting transcript. No amendments to the measures were recorded during the session.
