Butler County supervisors renew small grants for two local behavioral-health groups
Summary
The Butler County Board of Supervisors voted June 4 to renew two multi-year funding agreements: $500 for Crisis Intervention Service and $5,000 for Butler County Visions of Wellbeing, each for an additional three years. The board also approved an employee Wellness Check Clinic in September.
The Butler County Board of Supervisors on June 4 approved extensions of two small multi-year grants supporting local behavioral-health services and authorized an employee wellness clinic for county staff.
Auditor Leslie Groen told the board the county’s existing funding agreement with Crisis Intervention Service, first established in June 2021, provided $500 for a three-year term. The board voted to continue that $500 award for another three years (motion by Supervisor Rusty Eddy; second by Supervisor Greg Barnett). The motion passed on a unanimous voice vote.
Groen also described a separate June 2021 agreement with Butler County Visions of Wellbeing that provided $5,000 for three years. The board voted to continue the $5,000 payment for another three-year term (motion by Barnett; second by Eddy). The minutes contain a wording inconsistency in the formal motion line that repeats the Crisis Intervention Service name; the earlier description and surrounding context identify Butler County Visions of Wellbeing as the intended $5,000 recipient.
Separately, the board approved holding an employee Wellness Check Clinic in September (motion by Barnett; second by Chairman Wayne Dralle; all ayes).
No additional funding amounts, eligibility criteria, or contract terms were included in the minutes. The board’s actions were procedural approvals; no public comment or extended debate was recorded. The board adjourned the meeting at 9:20 a.m. and set its next regular meeting for June 11, 2024, at 9:00 a.m.
