Board approves Children’s Services contract amendments, including $265,000 reimbursement

The Butler County Board of Commissioners approved multiple Children’s Services contract amendments and a medical-screening agreement during its meeting. Flo Butler presented the items, including a $15,000 increase to Butler Behavioral Health for mental-health services and a $265,000 reimbursement amendment to CDC for trauma treatment and family visitation program services.

Butler also presented an agreement with Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center for medical screening services effective 2016-11-01 through 2017-10-31 for an amount "not to exceed $6,000" drawn from the children services lehi funds, per the transcript. Commissioner Carpenter praised Children's Services' provider selection, saying, "I do appreciate, Children's Services, analyzing the outcomes for their providers... I know that the initial medical checkup is going to Children's Hospital, and I think that's a great place." The consent-group motion to approve these items passed on a voice roll call with Commissioners Dixon, Rogers, and Carpenter voting yes.
