Fees Related to Civil Commitments

 04-12-21

I couldn’t find out on the blog where this question has been asked before. (I also couldn’t find any Q&As for all of 2020.) So, not sure who to contact to get my question out to the state-wide group. My question is:

 

How does your county handle the attorney fees, service fees, and any other court-related expenditures for Civil Commitments?

 

Thanks,

Does anyone have a writeoff policy that they can share that covers Public Health receivables, collections especially for detox and mental health, as well as uncashed warrants?

Thank you

CARES spending

06-26-20

How are other counties spending this new Federal CARES Act Funding Bill money that Rep Barb Haley just sent out this week?

And how are your counties justifying what is COVID related spending and what is not?

Amazon Business Account Question

06-24-20

Does anyone use an Amazon Business account for their agency?  We are looking at setting this up due to the increased number of Amazon purchases and to ensure that no one is gaining personally with their own credit card perks.  If you do use, please let me know how it’s working and if you have developed a policy/procedure… I’d love to see it.

Thanks!
