Moraine council authorizes $50,000 contract increase and opioid-settlement funding for crisis-intervention co-responder services
Summary
Council approved a $50,000 not-to-exceed increase for crisis-intervention co-responder services with South Community Behavioral Health and authorized the use of opioid-settlement funds to pay for a three-year term previously authorized by prior resolution 8139-25.
The Moraine City Council on July 9 authorized the city manager to sign documentation to reflect a new not-to-exceed amount of $50,000 with South Community Inc., doing business as South Community Behavioral Health, for crisis-intervention-trained co-responder services (CIT). Council also adopted a companion resolution authorizing the use of opioid-settlement funds—up to $50,000 over a three-year term—to cover these services. The resolutions reference an earlier council action (Resolution 8139-25, adopted March 13, 2025) that originally authorized similar services.
A presenter explained the action authorizes the city manager to approve a pay increase in contractual services for the tactical crime-suppression unit’s partnership with South Community Behavioral Health to provide CIT co-responder services.
Why it matters: Co-responder programs pair crisis-trained behavioral-health professionals with public-safety responses; funding and contract adjustments affect the availability and continuity of those services in the city.
What’s next: The city manager is authorized to sign required memoranda of understanding and contracts; staff will administer the contract and track invoices against opioid-settlement funds per the adopted resolution.
