He said they have <br />provided our “dues” and the County isn’t receiving any real benefit <br />from ACHS. <br /> <br />Judy Pless, Budget and Finance Manager stated that Comprehensive <br />Mental Health, Merit and Elmview have all indicated their <br />willingness to contribute and want to remain members of ACHS. She <br />stated that moving forward they would just not represent Kittitas <br />County. <br /> <br />Commissioner O’Brien stated from the standpoint of County <br />Commissioner he supports Chairman Jewell’s statements, however from <br />his WSAC President perspective he would like to see the County help <br />out. <br /> <br />DENY ACHS PAYMENT PUBLIC HEALTH <br /> <br />Commissioner Osiadacz moved to deny payment to the ACHS ta assist <br />with the stolen funds. Commissioner O’Brien seconded.
