Labette County approves one-year mental health services agreement, authorizes levy up to 0.948 mill
Summary
The Labette County Board of Commissioners unanimously authorized a 2025 services agreement with the Labette Center for Mental Health Services and agreed to a tax levy not to exceed 0.948 mill to fund the contract, effective Jan. 1–Dec. 31, 2025.
Chairman Vincent B. Schibi moved on Jan. 21 to authorize signatures on a one-year services agreement between Labette County and the Labette Center for Mental Health Services, Inc., covering Jan. 1 through Dec. 31, 2025; the board approved the motion unanimously.
The agreement will be funded in part by a county property tax levy that commissioners agreed will be “not in excess of 0.948 mill for 2025 to pay for mental health services for residents of the county,” according to the motion by Chairman Vincent B. Schibi. Commissioner Terry Weidert seconded the motion; Commissioners Tom Barrett, Vincent B. Schibi and Terry Weidert voted yes.
Why it matters: the contract maintains county-funded access to community mental health services for Labette County residents and formalizes the countycontribution level for 2025. The agreement term and levy cap were recorded in the motion and adopted by the board; the transcript does not provide line-item budget detail or describe specific program changes.
Details recorded in the meeting: the agreement covers the 2025 calendar year (Jan. 1–Dec. 31, 2025). The transcript identifies the levy cap (0.948 mill) as the local funding mechanism to pay for the services. The motion authorizing signatures was passed unanimously; the transcript does not specify a contract value or a detailed funding breakdown.
The board discussed—without a recorded vote—other county matters during the same session, including grant planning and routine administrative items. The meeting adjourned at 11:00 a.m.; the board's next regular session was scheduled for 9:00 a.m. Monday, Jan. 27, 2025.
