b. CPMT’s response: “Each locality operates independently and must make decisions based on its
unique population needs, existing service array, and available financial resources. While
another county’s approval may be informative, it does not obligate our locality to approve the
same service if it does not align with our identified needs, priorities, or fiscal capacity.”
