Commissioners transition tele‑mental health funding to general fund and approve disaster‑recovery data‑center amendment
Summary
County approved moving a tele‑mental health program out of ARPA and into the general fund to continue services for in‑custody youth; the board also approved a MidCon amendment to create a secured cage for disaster‑recovery racks with a one‑time cost plus $82/month.
The commission approved two operational items related to health services and IT continuity.
County staff said they are transitioning a tele‑mental health program from ARPA funding to the general fund for the remainder of the year. Staff explained Turnkey provides tele‑mental‑health services to in‑custody youth, medication evaluations and licensed LPC sessions; staff described the program as an “invaluable service” and said the budget and BET provided the remaining funds for the year. Commissioners approved the transition.
In information technology, staff presented an amendment to the MidCon contract for the county’s disaster‑recovery location to secure a private cage for racks and provide 24/7 access. The amendment requires a one‑time setup payment and an additional $82 per month; commissioners approved the amendment.
Both items passed by voice vote and staff thanked commissioners for support.
