Monroe County commissioners on Jan. 7 approved a series of professional-service agreements with the Carbon Monroe Pike Drug and Alcohol Commission and related vendors to expand case management, level-of-care assessments and treatment support across county programs.

Agreements approved include weekly case-management services and level-of-care assessments for pretrial services, correctional-facility treatment and recovery-support specialists. The board also approved a fentanyl-awareness program contract described in the meeting as "Kudu Correct" for $296,529.30 to be paid from the county's opioid settlement fund for the period Jan. 1, 2026 through Dec. 31, 2026. Commissioners said the contracts respond to shifts in court needs and aim to maintain local treatment capacity.

Most items were approved by voice vote. The transcript shows the contracts' dollar amounts and monthly-payment structures as read into the record; details about contractor selection processes or performance metrics were not presented at the meeting and were not specified in the public record provided.
