A board member (speaker S1) reported that since taking on collections they have begun billing and receiving reimbursement for medical treatment and mental-health transports; the speaker said the county has 'seen about 12,000 already come in' and that billing for medical expenses has been added to collections efforts. Several board members reacted positively, saying recouping costs 'didn't sit well' before reimbursements began.
