REGULAR MEETING DEPARTMENT HEAD PUBLIC HEALTH
Commissioner Jewell explained that numerous Counties have been asked
to help pay for the Association of County Human Services (ACHS)
funds that their Treasurer stole. He stated that he felt Kittitas
County should not assist in re-paying funds that were stolen. He
stated that just because the funds were stolen doesn’t make it
Kittitas County’s responsibility to pay it back. He said they have
provided our “dues” and the County isn’t receiving any real benefit
from ACHS.
Judy Pless, Budget and Finance Manager stated that Comprehensive
Mental Health, Merit and Elmview have all indicated their
willingness to contribute and want to remain members of ACHS. She
stated that moving forward they would just not represent Kittitas
County.
Commissioner O’Brien stated from the standpoint of County
Commissioner he supports Chairman Jewell’s statements, however from
his WSAC President perspective he would like to see the County help
out.
DENY ACHS PAYMENT PUBLIC HEALTH
Commissioner Osiadacz moved to deny payment to the ACHS ta assist
with the stolen funds. Commissioner O’Brien seconded. Motion carried
3-0.
Meeting adjourned at 9:45 a.m.
