The Cascade County Commission voted June 12 to approve Contract 26-56, a State DPHHS Service Provider Designation Form that directs earmarked alcohol-tax revenues to local chemical-dependency treatment and prevention providers for fiscal year 2027.
Commissioner Joe Briggs presented background material and moved to approve the contract, proposing that Alliance for Youth receive 30%, Dynamic Recovery receive 30%, Power of Healing receive 20% and Misfits LLC receive 20% of the designated funds for the period July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. Commissioner Briggs made the motion; the commission recorded the motion as carrying 3-0. The transcript notes Exhibit A as part of the background but the written excerpt does not reproduce that exhibit.
Chairman Jim Larson and Commissioner Eric Hinebauch spoke during the discussion prior to the motion; a remote participant, Richard Leibert, also spoke by Zoom during the agenda item. The transcript excerpt provided does not include verbatim remarks or additional budget detail from those exchanges.
The designation directs state-approved providers to receive the county’s share of earmarked alcohol-tax monies for treatment and prevention services within Cascade County for FY2027. The contract is effective July 1, 2026, and ends June 30, 2027. The commission adjourned the special meeting at 9:43 a.m.
