Montezuma County Board of Health signs IGA to provide vaccination services to Dolores County
Summary
Montezuma County’s Board of Health approved and signed an intergovernmental agreement under which Montezuma County public-health staff and supplies will provide vaccination clinics for Dolores County; the board approved the IGA by unanimous vote.
The Montezuma County Board convened as the Board of Health and approved an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) to provide vaccination services to Dolores County.
Miss Schaeffer, representing Montezuma County Public Health, explained the arrangement: Montezuma County nurses and supplies will staff off-site vaccination clinics in Dolores County, and Montezuma County will bill Dolores County as it does other off-site clinics. She said the IGA formalizes existing support provided since 2025 and ensures staff will use county supplies and billing procedures for those clinics.
Schaeffer noted Dolores County needs a registered nurse (RN) and that the IGA addresses that gap by sending Montezuma County’s vaccination nurse to operate clinics and use county supplies. A commissioner moved to accept and sign the IGA; the motion was seconded and approved by the board.
Next steps: County staff will sign the agreement and coordinate scheduling and billing with Dolores County; commissioners said they will follow up once the USDA Wildlife Services recommendation (on a separate agenda item) is received.
