Clermont County extends contract and lease for Community Alternative Sentencing Center

The Board of Clermont County Commissioners voted unanimously May 11 to extend both the contract and the lease for the Community Alternative Sentencing Center (CASC) with Greater Cincinnati Behavioral Health Services of Cincinnati, Ohio.

County staff read the contract recommendation and said the extension represents the third of four available one‑year renewal options. The contract extension was described as an amount “not to exceed $803,371,” with an effective term of June 3, 2026, through June 2, 2027. The board approved the contract by roll call after a motion and second.

Staff then read a matching lease extension for the CASC, also described as the third of four one‑year renewal options. The lease continues nearly all prior terms and includes a requirement that the lessee pay the lessor $1 for the rental period for the same June 3, 2026–June 2, 2027 term; the board approved the lease extension by roll call.

The reading of the contract and lease referenced compliance with the Ohio Revised Code (staff cited the statutory section during the item). Commissioners followed the staff recommendation and approved the items without additional public comment.

Also during the consent/non‑consent portion of the meeting, the board approved several routine items including reappointments to the Area 12 Workforce Development Board.

The next procedural step for the contract and lease is implementation under the terms presented; no amendments or further conditions were recorded in the meeting.
