County officials are targeting a planning process aimed at reviewing all mental health services in the county.

Commissioner Jeff Eggleston said during Monday’s work session that the review would be funded by COVID-19-related grants received by the Warren County Development Association over the last year.

“A portion of the grants were to be allocated for planning for human services,” Eggleston said, “for mental health response to the effects of COVID.”

He explained that he and Human Services Administrator Adam McNeill have been meeting with consultants over the last several weeks and will be developing an RFP for the planning “that would involve a deep dive evaluation of the system, working with the administration and various providers” as well as a piece to “craft plans that would improve the quality of service.”

The planning process would take three to four months and produce a five-year plan for the county.

“We haven’t done anything like this in my memory,” Eggleston said, “not anything that would be this big for human services. We feel really good about the consultants that we’ve (talked) with.”

The commissioners also opened bids Monday for the engineering work that would go into a reconstruction of Center St. in Clarendon and discussed moving two bank accounts used for escrow by the prothonotary’s office to a different bank in light of fees incurred for the existing accounts.
