Summary
The Commission authorized a Second Amendment to the Detention Care Partners health services agreement to provide additional health services for an increased number of ICE detainees and extra mental-health services for inmates, and authorized the CAO to execute the amendment.
Etowah County commissioners approved a Second Amendment to the Health Services Agreement with Detention Care Partners, LLC, on Feb. 17, 2026. The amendment, dated to the original agreement of Oct. 1, 2024, was approved to provide "additional healthcare services to accommodate the increased number of ICE Detainees, plus additional mental health services for inmates," and the CAO was authorized to sign the document.
The minutes record the approval as part of the consent agenda; the motion was adopted without recorded dissent. The written record does not include contract value changes, specific service-level requirements, or reporting timelines in the minutes; those details are in the referenced amendment document (listed in attachment book 15-151).
