NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado, that the Memorandum of Understanding for Crisis Assessment Protocol between the County of Weld, State of Colorado, by and through the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, on behalf of the Sheriff's Office, and North Range Behavioral Health, be, and hereby is, approved.

The current Agreement is a new agreement for FY23 from July 18th, 2022 — July 17th, 2023 to continue with the same services of the previous years. This Agreement has provided a valuable service to the County and should be considered. It should be of note that this contract has been reviewed and approved by Karin McDougal. What options exist for the Board? (include consequences, impacts, costs, etc. of options): The Board may approve or deny this renewal request. A denial of this renewal request would eliminate the NO COST service NRBH has been providing to complete mental health evaluations and subsequent treatment determinations for community members being released from the Weld County Jail after normal county business hours. Eliminating this service would place the responsibility of completing these evaluations back on Detentions Deputies, pulling them away from their duty of maintaining safety and security in the jail. It should be noted that since the inception of the original agreement (July 2016), the Weld County Sheriffs Office has called on NRBH to complete 1646 evaluations of this nature. This was 1646 evaluations that Detentions Deputies would have had to otherwise complete. Instead, NRBH responded to the jail with professional mental health staff to evaluate and provide for the mental health needs of these community members. NRBH has completed 228 evaluations of this nature in the past year for July 2021 — May 2022. An approval of this renewal request would continue this no cost service which has proven to be an asset to the Weld County Sheriff s Office and the citizens of Weld County. **Please note this has been reviewed by Weld County Attorney office.
