County renews $2,508 contract with New Horizons for mental-health services
Summary
The commission approved a FY2025 agreement to pay New Horizons Behavioral Health $2,508 for mental‑health and substance‑use services for Chattahoochee County residents; the contract begins July 1, 2024 and runs through June 30, 2025.
The Board of Commissioners approved renewal of an agreement with New Horizons Behavioral Health to provide mental‑health and substance‑use services to Chattahoochee County residents for fiscal year 2025.
New Horizons submitted an agreement dated June 21, 2024, signed by Chief Executive Officer Andrea B. Winston, that sets the county contribution at $2,508 for the year (monthly installments of $209). The services listed in the agreement include child and adolescent mental-health services, adult mental-health services and comprehensive drug- and alcohol‑abuse services, to be provided at the provider’s Columbus clinic or a local satellite.
Why it matters: The county contribution supports access to behavioral‑health services for county residents. The amount ($2,508 annually) is unchanged from the prior fiscal year, according to the provider’s letter.
How the board acted: Minutes record a motion to renew the New Horizons agreement during the July 2 meeting; the vote was recorded as unanimous.
What’s next: The agreement covers July 1, 2024–June 30, 2025. County staff will process the signed agreement and the provider will bill the county monthly as specified. County Manager Thomas Weaver is responsible for usual contract administration tasks.
