The Board of Cleveland County Commissioners approved a contract for the Cleveland County District Court to provide drug testing and ignition interlock device installation and monitoring for treatment court participants, with costs not to exceed $97,500.00 for calendar year 2026. Chairman Jacob McHughes moved to approve the consent items and Rusty Grissom seconded; the motion carried with recorded votes from both commissioners.
The approval occurred as part of a routine consent agenda that included a clerk's notation correcting an account number related to the Opioid Abatement funding (the clerk corrected 251201 to 251200). The contract is charged to the Opioid Abatement Settlement account. The board approved other consent items in the same motion; those were handled without separate debate.
The action was recorded in the minutes of the Dec. 29, 2025, meeting and will be processed by the County Clerk for implementation.
