Burke County commissioners said Monday that they needed more time to consider merging mental health services with Catawba County.
For weeks, commissioners have considered pulling out of Foothills Area Programs, the agency that administers mental health services in Burke and three other counties.
Some commissioners say Foothills, which also manages mental health services in Caldwell, Alexander and McDowell counties, is plagued with administrative holes, from the board of directors down.
Democrat Ruth Ann Suttle said the board has not taken enough time to fully explore the impact.
Burke County commissioners will meet March 26 with the Foothills board of directors and with commissioners from Caldwell, Alexander and McDowell counties.
