Camden County approves public defender contract, clinic MOUs and medical director renewal
Summary
At its special called session Camden County approved the annual public defender contract under the Georgia Indigent Defense Act, signed memoranda of understanding with two cities and the PSA for clinic services, and renewed the clinic medical director contract at $24,000 per year.
Camden County commissioners approved a set of routine agreements at a special called meeting, including the county's share of the five'county public defender contract, memoranda of understanding for clinic cost sharing with neighboring jurisdictions, and renewal of the clinic medical director's contract.
Janice, a county staff member, requested approval of the annual contract agreement for the public defender's office under the Georgia Indigent Defense Act of 2003, which she said covers Camden County's share of personnel supplements and office operations for the five'county circuit. The board voted to approve the contract; staff said the cost was already budgeted for FY27.
Staff also presented memoranda of understanding for use of the county clinic by the city of Kingsland, the city of St. Mary's, and the Public Service Authority (PSA). Staff stated the clinic budget is $659,651 and said Kingsland's share (12.52%) would be $82,588, St. Mary's share (18.51%) was partially garbled in the audio record (amount not fully clear), and the PSA's share (2.2%) would be $14,512 annually. The board approved the MOUs.
The board also renewed the professional services agreement for the clinic medical director identified in the meeting record as Dr. Angelo Leano, M.D., at an annual cost of $24,000 ($2,000 per month); meeting audio later included an alternate rendering of the doctor's name in the motion text. Staff said Dr. Leano reviews medical records and provides services on Wednesdays at the clinic.
The items were approved as part of the meeting's consent or routine business and involved no extended debate or public opposition in the recorded session.
