Commissioners approve Children's Services contracts including foster-care and group-home agreements

Bill Morrison, director of Butler County Children's Services, summarized contracting actions and said the department completed a request-for-proposals cycle and now presents contracts for board approval. "We have 9 new foster care contracts, 4 new group home contracts," Morrison said, and indicated an additional contract for drug and alcohol services was included.

Commissioners moved to approve the children's services resolution as presented and recorded unanimous affirmative votes. Staff told commissioners the contracts reflect the first year of awards under the new RFP and will be executed consistent with departmental procurement rules.
