Committee approves jail medical-psychiatric services and CMH jail-diversion agreement renewals
Summary
The Eaton County committee approved an action renewing the jail medical/psychiatric services agreement and renewing the CMH jail-diversion agreement; members said the CMH renewal is an annual procedural update with no immediate financial change.
The Eaton County Public Safety Committee approved two jail-related action items April 9: a medical/psychiatric services agreement for the jail and a Community Mental Health (CMH) jail-diversion agreement renewal.
Commissioner Haskell and others described the CMH renewal as an annual contract update that brings rates and procedural language up to date; officials said the renewal does not introduce a substantive financial change in the county's current year budget. Jail staff explained some psychiatric services had not previously been billed consistently, which is why the county formalized the contract and included the line item in this year's budget.
Both motions were moved, supported and carried by voice vote. Commissioners said they may seek additional annual reporting to ensure billing and procedural timelines remain current.
No formal vote tallies were read into the record during the meeting; the transcript records voice motions and affirmation that the motions carried.
