Cascade County work session reviews consent items including LEMHWA grant, health-department budget changes and multiple contracts
Summary
At the Jan. 21, 2026 work session, Cascade County's agenda included multiple consent items: a $183,150 DOJ LEMHWA grant appropriation for the sheriff's office; an MOU with the Motor Vehicle Division reimbursing $0.10 per transaction; an interagency reimbursement to the county of $19,616.22; small lease and equipment contracts; Motorola RAVE emergency-notification subscription; and two City-County Health Department budget adjustments. The minutes record no public comment and no formal votes.
The Cascade County Board of Commissioners reviewed a series of consent-agenda items at its Jan. 21, 2026 work session.
Resolution 26-03 was listed for the Cascade County Sheriff's Office to appropriate $183,150 related to Contract 25-163, the Department of Justice FY25 Law Enforcement Mental Health & Wellness Act (LEMHWA) grant (award #15JCOPS-25-GG-00419-LEMH). The written minutes list the resolution and amount but do not record who presented the item during the work session.
Contract 26-06 is a memorandum of understanding between the Department of Justice Motor Vehicle Division and the Cascade County Treasurer, with a term through Dec. 31, 2028 (upon full execution) and reimbursement of $0.10 per transaction. Contract 26-07 is an interagency agreement with the 8th Judicial District Office of the Court Administrator listing $19,616.22 to be reimbursed to the county; it is associated with the Detention Center entry on the agenda.
Contract 26-08 is listed as a 10-year lease for the Monarch Transfer Site with an annual cost of $94.00 and a one-time processing fee of $155.00. The written minutes record the lease term as 1/1/2026'12/31/2025; that dating appears to be an error in the minutes because the end date predates the start date.
Contract 26-09 (Public Works) is an AT-Klemens contract to replace 26 ExpoPark parking-lot light heads with LED fixtures and replace wiring; cost is listed at $18,788.00. Contract 26-11 is an Emergency Notification System subscription and service agreement between Cascade County Disaster and Emergency Services and Motorola RAVE with a term of Jan. 27, 2026'Dec. 27, 2031; year one cost is listed as $12,287.50 (includes setup/professional services) and years two through five as $10,370.50.
The City-County Health Department listed two items: Resolution 26-04 requests an operating budget for the Foster Program for Jan. 1'June 30, 2026, showing an increase in revenue of $19,620.00 and an increase in expenditures of $5,174.00 (reference Contract 20-65, R0392551). Resolution 26-05 concerns the Montana DPHHS Title V Maternal Child Health Block Grant (Task Order HHSECFS-00000718) with a decrease in expenditures of $11,143.00 and an increase in expenditures of $106,076.00 (reference 25-158).
The written minutes record that there were no public comments during the public-comment period. The minutes also do not record formal votes or outcomes for the consent items in the work session; the meeting adjourned at 2:27 p.m.
Several agenda entries give dollar amounts and reference numbers; the minutes generally list the items and amounts but omit presentation details in several cases (for example, the funding source or next action for the Blue Ribbon Electric and AT-Klemens items is not specified).
