community development director, Scott

all.

23
00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:54,626
I didn't know Scott wasn't even here.
Thank you, Commissioner Perry. We

24
00:01:52,799 --> 00:01:58,880
appreciate that. [cough]
[clears throat]

25
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:03,680
» Okay. I would entertain a motion of the
approval of the minutes from the May

26
00:02:00,479 --> 00:02:05,680
27th uh 2026 [cough]
commission meeting as well as the June

27
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,879
10th.
>> We won't have June 10th, but I will make

28
00:02:07,119 --> 00:02:13,280
a motion. June 10th isn't done yet, but
I will make the motion that we accept

29
00:02:10,239 --> 00:02:17,599
the minutes from May 27th, 2026.
>> Second. We have a motion by Commissioner

30
00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:23,440
Bingham, Commissioner Perry to approve
the minutes of the May 27th, 2026

31
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:26,319
commission meeting and a second by
Commissioner Bingham. All in favor say

32
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,319
I.
>> I.

33
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:32,400
» Okay. Motion passes. Thank you very
much.

34
00:02:31,306 --> 00:02:36,480
[snorts]
>> Okay. Administrative administrative

35
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:38,080
review reports and future agenda items.
Commissioner Perry, do you have

36
00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:43,120
anything?
>> Yes. Um, we've got to have our election

37
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:47,599
canvas that we hold every time after an
election's been held and it has to be

38
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:51,599
held by July 7th. So, we have a current
scheduled commission meeting on the 8th,

39
00:02:48,959 --> 00:02:55,280
but rather than doing two meetings day
at one day after the other, what I'm

40
00:02:53,599 --> 00:02:59,200
going to propose here is I think we'll
just change if if it if the other two

41
00:02:57,599 --> 00:03:04,879
commissioners are good with this, move
the commiti the canvas meeting to 4:30

42
00:03:02,159 --> 00:03:08,640
p.m. on July 7th, which is Tuesday. Then
at 4:45 we'll have our work session,

43
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,440
which is the normal time we would
normally have it except for on a

44
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:14,480
Wednesday. And then at 5:00 p.m. we'll
have our commission meeting. So we're

45
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:18,879
just changing our commission meeting to
July 7th instead of July 8th and using

46
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:24,000
the canvas. We'll do the canvas just
prior to that so we can have everything

47
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:29,879
in one day and we'll have it on July 8th
day. So that that's what I would want to

48
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,879
put forward for a change.

49
00:03:30,799 --> 00:03:35,040
» Is uh do we need a motion on this,
Steve?

50
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,680
Yeah, if you're going to change the
date, you probably got to have

51
00:03:36,319 --> 00:03:44,080
» So, we have a motion by Commissioner
Perry to uh to move the commission

52
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:46,239
meeting as well and do our canvas prior
to that.

53
00:03:45,519 --> 00:03:49,680
» I'll second that.
>> And a second by Commissioner Bingham.

54
00:03:48,159 --> 00:03:52,720
All in favor say I.
>> I. [snorts]

55
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,760
» Okay. Very good. Thanks, Commissioner
Perry.

56
00:03:54,492 --> 00:03:59,680
[clears throat]
Um any former agenda items items,

57
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,720
commissioners?
>> No.

58
00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:04,720
» Nope.
>> Okay. Very good. Mark emergency

59
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:08,239
services.
>> Okay.

60
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:13,680
» Things under control. We're good.
>> Let's hope it stays that way. It

61
00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:17,759
South is on fire, which is concerning.
So,

62
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,840
okay. Uh, Commissioner Perry will uh
we'll talk about our employee of the

63
00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:22,400
month.
>> Yeah. We actually have two employees of

64
00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:28,080
the month that we're going to recognize
today. Both from our roads department.

65
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:31,520
Um, and we just want to we have great
employees all across the county, but

66
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:35,680
these two employees in particular have
been really willing to um help out not

67
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,479
just in the roads department and do
their job there, but when other

68
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:43,840
opportunities and other places, other
departments need help, whether it's the

69
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:47,199
landfill or the fairgrounds or um or the
we department, they step in when and

70
00:04:45,919 --> 00:04:51,199
other departments say, "Hey, I need a
little extra help." And these two

71
00:04:49,199 --> 00:04:54,880
employees at this particular time have
stepped up to help on different events

72
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:57,600
that normally don't fall under their
wheelhouse, but are willing to when

73
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,479
somebody needs an extra help at a
different department, they do that. So,

74
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:05,120
we want to recognize Nick Hawks and
Jason Cook for their extra behav extra

75
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,600
willingness to step in and help out
other county employees and do the things

76
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:11,600
they're doing and would like to have
them come up and receive these

77
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:16,423
certificates. So,
come on up.

78
00:05:14,403 --> 00:05:16,423
[applause]

79
00:05:18,988 --> 00:05:21,008
» [applause]

80
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,919
» Nick can tell you where to get the Not

81
00:05:40,603 --> 00:05:42,623
[clears throat]

82
00:05:44,479 --> 00:05:52,520
» why had to get dressed up today.
>> Okay, guys. Three, two, one.

83
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,240
Hey, thank you.

84
00:06:01,564 --> 00:06:03,584
[applause]

85
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:17,919
um really appreciate um all of our
employees, but I would just like to

86
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:22,479
thank our roads department especially
and uh these two fine gentlemen as well

87
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:29,440
as Darren. We [clears throat]
um have been chipping um out north. We

88
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:34,319
had um Manoway, one of the camps up
Manoway come and talk to Darren and I

89
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:39,280
and needed the road um graded and and
some potholes fixed before a girls camp

90
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:44,639
and these camps started up there and
Darren put uh visited his crew and put

91
00:06:42,639 --> 00:06:48,560
the chipping on hold for a few for a
week and went up and took care of that.

92
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:52,160
So, we just really appreciate our
departments and their willingness to

93
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:55,984
work and take care of our county. So,
thank you again. [clears throat]

94
00:06:57,759 --> 00:07:10,440
Okay. Uh, under the otter's office
ratification of the 2025 tax uh sale and

95
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,440
Shy's going to visit with us.

96
00:07:12,639 --> 00:07:18,599
» Perfect.
>> Sorry. Yes. 26. That's correct.

97
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:35,199
Okay, so this is the final listing of
how our tax sale came out this year with

98
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:41,840
our winning biders and we have to ratify
that. um we had 36 that were bid on and

99
00:07:39,919 --> 00:07:46,960
then the ones at the bottom of the page
and on to the following page we had 39

100
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:51,919
that will be struck back to the county
and I have to read the statement that

101
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:56,960
we're accepting those in payment of
their taxes. So the fee simple title to

102
00:07:54,800 --> 00:08:01,599
the property described in this entry in
the year 2026

103
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:08,240
sold and conveyed to the county of box
elder in payment of general taxes

104
00:08:04,639 --> 00:08:14,039
charged against the property.
If you have any questions regarding the

105
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:14,039
property or the tax sale.

106
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:21,280
Um, are I mean are the any of these
properties that we just took back the

107
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:23,520
ones out in Dove Creek area or they are
we got that pretty well taken care of

108
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:27,599
now?
>> See all of the non-compliant on there?

109
00:08:25,919 --> 00:08:30,319
That means they're all those small
properties that keep circulating.

110
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:34,399
» Okay.
>> Um, you'll also notice several were

111
00:08:32,479 --> 00:08:37,519
purchased
which they then can't do anything with.

112
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:41,680
Right. So,
>> we're still having some get bought every

113
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:46,399
year, which usually means they come back
around when they find that they can't

114
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:51,600
use the property or sell the property
legally or that. And so then they stop

115
00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:55,360
paying the taxes
and then it comes back on the tax sale.

116
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,839
» I was I was wondering how many of those
because I know we had that huge problem

117
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,839
years ago and I know we're still dealing
with

118
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:03,760
» That's why I left the non-compliant on
there. Those are all those

119
00:09:02,399 --> 00:09:06,320
» They're all out west.
>> The ones that were sold in little

120
00:09:04,959 --> 00:09:08,320
pieces. Okay. That's what I thought.
Yeah.

121
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,000
» Okay.
>> I don't have any other questions. I

122
00:09:09,839 --> 00:09:12,720
would
>> I don't have any questions.

123
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:16,000
» I'd make a motion that we ratify the
2026 tax sale as explained by our

124
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:20,480
auditor.
>> Second.

125
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:25,120
» We have a a motion to uh approve the
ratification of the tax sale by

126
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,920
Commissioner uh Perry
>> 2026

127
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:32,480
» of the 2026. Thank you, Commissioner
Bingham. Uh tax sale and a second by

128
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:36,000
Commissioner Bingham. All in favor say
I. I. I.

129
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:43,011
» Thank you.
And then the Go ahead. Sorry.

130
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,011
» She is, but [laughter]

131
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:51,519
we have the lowinccome abatement. Um,
and I believe Mary Thompson's here and

132
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:55,320
Marcy from my department's also been
working with her.

133
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,320
» Okay.

134
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:16,320
Okay.
Mary Gene Thompson, how are you?

135
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:19,920
» I'm fine. How are you?
>> So, um, do you want to tell us a little

136
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:23,600
bit
what what we're looking at here?

137
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:29,839
» Well, I came in for the abatement
because of my income. Um, but I was a

138
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:35,200
little bit over because Royce lived
uh January and February of last year and

139
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:43,440
so that put me over the abatement, but
my income is still very low and so

140
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:47,839
paying the taxes are a big burden for
me.

141
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:53,279
» Okay, Marcy, do you have you helped with
this? Can you explain explain to us a

142
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:58,800
little bit about it, please?
So, I'm Marcy Pal with Bachelor County

143
00:10:55,519 --> 00:11:03,120
Auditor's office. Um,
Mary's applying for the lowinccome

144
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:11,600
abatement.
There are income guidelines on it. We

145
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:21,839
have to count total household income for
last year. She was over by

146
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:25,137
about 10,000. And that's because
Oh yeah.

147
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:28,000
» And that's because we had to count
[clears throat] her spouse's income

148
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:32,880
» who passed away.
>> Yes. Like she stated, he passed away

149
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:38,000
early in the year, but according to law,
we have to count that income.

150
00:11:35,839 --> 00:11:43,680
» So without counting that, she would have
qualified.

151
00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:45,519
» So if if we give the taxes um we can
only do the county's portion, is that

152
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:51,880
right?
>> Correct.

153
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:51,880
» So Okay. And that would be $1,412.

154
00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:59,839
» Okay.
>> It would be a little bit less than half

155
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:03,360

00:17:13,199 --> 00:17:16,919
talk to us about that.

220
00:17:19,120 --> 00:17:29,840
» Good morning commissioners. This is um
just some rework of the the agreement

221
00:17:27,039 --> 00:17:33,360
that was put in place last year that
formalized

222
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:40,080
um Bar River Health Department as a
multi-county united local health

223
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:45,679
department that um under code puts uh
the responsibility for both public

224
00:17:41,679 --> 00:17:50,640
health and behavioral health um under
under the health department.

225
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:55,200
I I'm up to however you want to go
through it. We did send the hopefully

226
00:17:53,039 --> 00:17:58,559
you were able to see the draft with the
the changes highlighted. Would you like

227
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:03,280
me to go through each one of those
changes or how would you like to do

228
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:05,360
that?
>> Whatever you'd like to do would be

229
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:12,720
great.
>> Okay. In section two on um page three,

230
00:18:09,120 --> 00:18:17,840
it uh it just basically changes and says
rather than reaffirms, it just says

231
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:23,440
affirms and and then puts into the date
um that the last agreement was put into

232
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:28,880
place on February of 2025.
Um the biggest most substantial change

233
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:35,360
was just some clarification of duties
that were pulled from state code and it

234
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:41,440
delineated the duties between the public
health responsibilities or duties um and

235
00:18:39,039 --> 00:18:47,280
the uh the behavioral health
responsibilities and duties for for the

236
00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:51,440
health uh for Bear River Health
Department. Um,

237
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:55,679
do you want me to go through those
specifically or

238
00:18:54,640 --> 00:19:00,240
» the changes are there?
>> I read them. Yeah, I read them.

239
00:18:57,120 --> 00:19:04,480
» Okay. It was just being very clear on on
what the duties were that were being

240
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:10,640
delegated by the counties as the
substance use and mental health

241
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:17,840
authority. Um, so that was that change.
One of the um one of the things that we

242
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:21,520
had discussed um internally with the
board of health um and particularly the

243
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:27,440
elected members from each county on the
board of health was the form or was the

244
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:30,799
the makeup of the board. Um and so it
keeps the board the way that it is with

245
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:37,760
regards to voting members and
essentially adds to exeicio members. One

246
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:43,120
of those being um Cash County having a
different form of government from the

247
00:19:39,120 --> 00:19:50,320
other two being a a an executive council
form of government. It puts the

248
00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:55,440
executive of Cash County um on as an
exofficial member, not a voting member.

249
00:19:53,039 --> 00:20:02,320
Um, but having that individual involved
because they are the ones we work with

250
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:07,120
on budget requests for for the uh with
Cash County uh for those things. So,

251
00:20:04,799 --> 00:20:12,720
having them be on that board, but not as
a voting member. Uh the the council

252
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:19,280
member will still be the voting member
over there. And then with uh Utah State

253
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:25,280
University being such a big part of our
communities, um having them have a seat

254
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:29,520
as an exeicial member. So non- voting,
but they would have a seat there. That

255
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:34,960
that's the biggest change to the makeup
of the board. Um so those ones would

256
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:40,400
just be appointed, not be appointed, but
they would be whoever sits in that seat.

257
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:46,960
and and USU um in my conversations with
them, they would like to consider having

258
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:51,840
their emergency manager uh be that
because they look at both the student

259
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:56,000
population and the employee population
as a whole. So, that's that's the

260
00:20:54,000 --> 00:21:02,559
position they're looking to to serve in
that. Any questions on that?

261
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:12,000
Um
if you go to page seven um it there's

262
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:18,320
just a few things um with regards to in
414123.

263
00:21:14,799 --> 00:21:25,520
Um there was just a minor change on on
the contracting of behavioral health

264
00:21:20,799 --> 00:21:30,799
services. Uh we we were this gives us
the responsibility to adopt the

265
00:21:28,159 --> 00:21:35,200
contracts that the counties had um
specifically with Bear River Mental

266
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:42,960
Health and to maintain those contracts
for the term. Um but what it what we

267
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:47,600
added was as necessary um in there. uh
it it opens a door for us to be able to

268
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:53,520
change the the contract language as
necessary um for the rest of the term of

269
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:56,520
that contract that we have to adhere to.
Um

270
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:08,000
the other one would be adding a seat for
the uh on the behavioral health advisory

271
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:13,280
council. um having an exeicio seat added
uh according to bylaws. Um those bylaws

272
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:21,440
are still under works with the
behavioral health advisory council. Um

273
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:30,559
but the option to add um exeicio seats.
Uh the next one is um on page eight. one

274
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:38,240
of the one of the exeicio seats we do
feel needs to be um the behavioral

275
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:44,559
health um director u and so we want to
make sure that they have a seat there um

276
00:22:40,799 --> 00:22:49,520
but a non- voting um and if you remember
uh the the behavioral health advisory

277
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:56,880
council actually serves to advise the
counties um so it's a it's members that

278
00:22:53,200 --> 00:23:04,240
are appointed um I brought names to do
for you to appoint um after we had u

279
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:08,960
received applications. And so they
actually would

280
00:23:07,039 --> 00:23:14,480
that council
advises the counties um on the the

281
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:19,360
development of behavioral health uh the
behavioral health plan in the community.

282
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:27,039
Um
and then the other one um 10 and this is

283
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:31,760
one of the big ones is the delegation of
responsibility. We we have now the full

284
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:38,080
responsibility
uh to

285
00:23:35,120 --> 00:23:43,520
go under contract with uh DHS for
Medicaid match. there's a contract. Um,

286
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:47,520
and essentially what this does is the
three counties say, um, Bear River

287
00:23:45,679 --> 00:23:51,200
Health Department, you're okay to sign
that contract and then we work

288
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:55,760
individually with each of the counties
to ensure that each county is meeting

289
00:23:53,120 --> 00:24:01,760
their Medicaid match requirement. Um,
but essentially the responsibility for

290
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:05,280
paying that um, comes to the Barer
Health Department. So, does that make

291
00:24:03,919 --> 00:24:10,000
sense?
>> Okay. So, it just authorizes us to sign

292
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:14,960
that contract. So, it doesn't have to
come to you. You've delegated that

293
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:25,919
responsibility for the signing of of the
contract. Um, and just for clarity, 5221

294
00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:30,720
um is clear that it it's a 20% uh match
for state funds.

295
00:24:29,120 --> 00:24:37,120
And those [sighs]
are the changes that that we after going

296
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:44,159
through a year of this we we needed to
to make to the agreement. Um we did have

297
00:24:41,279 --> 00:24:50,480
Boxelder County attorney they they
reviewed it gave us comments. We did

298
00:24:46,159 --> 00:24:54,320
adopt uh those changes in there. So,
>> okay,

299
00:24:51,120 --> 00:24:58,640
» questions. I'm happy to.
>> This makes us similar to all the Bear

300
00:24:57,360 --> 00:25:01,440
River area would be similar to all the
other counties in the state. That's my

301
00:24:59,919 --> 00:25:06,799
understanding.
>> Yeah, it Yep.

302
00:25:04,559 --> 00:25:11,919
» So, we we've been the outlier. Is that
And everybody else has been doing it

303
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:15,919
like this all the other 27 or 26
counties, I guess.

304
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:18,240
» Yeah. Okay.
>> Is there anything from the county

305
00:25:17,120 --> 00:25:21,760
attorney's office that
>> No. Um there is a resolution that goes

306
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,000
along with this. So you you'll approve
the contract and then you'll adopt the

307
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:29,279
resolution. Do you have a copy of that
resolution, Mara? It's 2620, I believe.

308
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:33,760
» Yeah, we do.
>> Okay. Because it's an interlocal

309
00:25:31,039 --> 00:25:40,760
agreement, a resolution is required.
Okay. Um

310
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,760
so that's the only thing I would add.

311
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:52,400
So we need to adopt the resolution or
the the 26 27 first, right?

312
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:56,320
» Well, you you approve the agreement then
adopt the resolution. Doesn't really So

313
00:25:54,799 --> 00:25:58,159
the resolution is adopting it.
>> Okay.

314
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:04,080
» Essentially.
>> Okay. I'd make the motion that we adopt

315
00:26:01,039 --> 00:26:07,600
um the approval of the multicounti
United local health department

316
00:26:05,279 --> 00:26:12,000
interlocal agreement 26-27 as explained
by Jordan Matthysse.

317
00:26:09,039 --> 00:26:17,919
» Second. We have a motion by Commissioner
Perry to adopt the multi-county uni

318
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:24,799
united local health department
interlocal agreement number 26 27 and a

319
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:28,400
second by commissioner Bingham. If there
are any other qu any other comments all

320
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:31,679
in favor say I. I.
>> I.

321
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:38,880
» Motion passes.
>> Okay.

322
00:26:34,559 --> 00:26:46,320
Okay. appointment of behavioral health
uh director Jordan Matthysse.

323
00:26:41,679 --> 00:26:53,919
» Yeah. So um under code there the the
counties the the authorities have to

324
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:58,640
have uh a director of of substance abuse
and a director of mental health. Um

325
00:26:56,799 --> 00:27:04,880
under this interlocal agreement we put
that as a director of behavioral health

326
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:09,600
uh under one position under state code.
that's allowed to be appointed directly.

327
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:15,919
The the language in code says appointed
directly or by contract. Um and where we

328
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:22,320
are contracting out behavioral health
services. Um we would also want to

329
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:27,919
contract out the director of behavioral
health services. And the proposal would

330
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:32,960
be that that Trevor Cook, who currently
serves as the executive director of Bear

331
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:40,000
River Mental Health, serve as the
behavioral health director under

332
00:27:35,279 --> 00:27:44,960
contract. Um the contract language um
does include the fact that it still has

333
00:27:42,799 --> 00:27:52,320
to be appointed by the three counties.
That's why I'm here. Um so the contract

334
00:27:48,159 --> 00:28:00,159
language uh once it's executed would say
that that he would serve um in that

335
00:27:55,919 --> 00:28:06,880
position until he ends employment or um
until the contract ends. Uh so for

336
00:28:04,399 --> 00:28:13,440
instance say that he he ended his
appointment employment bear river mental

337
00:28:10,159 --> 00:28:16,799
health can hire a new director but that
does not guarantee that director is the

338
00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:23,919
director of behavioral health. It's
still subject to appointment by the

339
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:28,799
authorities which are the counties.
But right now, we we're working through

340
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:34,080
we we have a contract with them and
we're going to re-execute a contract um

341
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:40,799
an updated contract with that language
in there um to if the county is approved

342
00:28:38,159 --> 00:28:44,039
for him to to serve as the behavioral
health director.

343
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:50,080
» So, we need a motion to approve that.
>> Yeah. And I do have his resume. I I sent

344
00:28:48,799 --> 00:28:57,480
that. I don't know if you had a chance
to look at it, but he's been there for

345
00:28:53,039 --> 00:28:57,480
about 10 years. Um,

346
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:02,159
» I make a motion that we appoint Trevor
Cook, the behavioral health director. Is

347
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,240
that right?
>> Yeah.

348
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:09,279
» Second.
>> We have a motion by Commissioner Perry

349
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:12,399
to approve Trevor Cook as a behavioral
health director and a second by

350
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,559
Commissioner Bingham.
>> All in favor say I.

351
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:20,799
» I.
>> I. Question for Steve here. So we have

352
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:23,279
resolution 2620 which is part of the
original and that's the contract. Is

353
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,919
that right?
>> So we need to take a motion specifically

354
00:29:25,039 --> 00:29:27,760
on that as well.
>> Yes.

355
00:29:26,559 --> 00:29:31,360
» Do the resolution as well.
>> So that Yeah. So I'd make a motion also

356
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:35,360
that we pass along with the one we did
earlier with 2627.

357
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:39,600
I'd also make the motion to pass
resolution 26-20

358
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:45,550
which is the resolution right um that
goes along with 26-27.

359
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:51,600
» Second. We have a motion by Commissioner
[clears throat] Bingham to approve

2620 and a second by Commissioner

» Okay. Thank you very much. Hey Jordan,

Commissioners, this resolution is the

370
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:48,880
culmination of our six-month effort to
get the mineral lease board legally

371
00:30:46,559 --> 00:30:53,360
where it needs to be. Um, so this
resolution is the final step. Um, we've

372
00:30:51,039 --> 00:30:57,679
provided the appropriate notice period,
had a protest period, had a comment

373
00:30:55,600 --> 00:31:00,960
period, all the things that we needed to
do to remove all the services that

374
00:30:59,679 --> 00:31:05,440
didn't need to be there, add the
services to the district that do need to

375
00:31:02,799 --> 00:31:11,600
be there. Um, this resolution also
appoints individuals to that board under

and also adopts new bylaws

Any questions? Happy to answer. And I'll

378
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:26,640
just let the commission know we're we're
one member short currently. We've

379
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:30,880
advertised for it. We actually have a
couple people who've been talking about

380
00:31:27,679 --> 00:31:34,480
it but have not submitted a formal
application for it yet. But that one

381
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:38,080
position hopefully will be brought to us
in the next month or so that we can get

382
00:31:35,919 --> 00:31:42,399
that one position filled. It's an area
for the Karin Brigham City area for that

383
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:47,039
mineral lease board. The other four
positions are currently the south end of

here in the Bigham City Corin area. So

389
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:17,120
just for information. So, um,
I would make a motion that we approve

390
00:32:14,799 --> 00:32:21,919

» Now we get to talk about the Rocky Mount
Power Utility easement.

446
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:49,359
» Yes, this is at the Lwood roadshed. We
currently have overhead power lines feed

447
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:55,839
from main the main road 8800 north and
runs into the uh into the facilities

448
00:36:53,680 --> 00:37:01,359
there. Um it's on the west side of the
shops right right close to the shops. So

449
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:05,119
what we'd like to do is uh move them
underground. This easement just kind of

450
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:09,040
as a description of them being
underground to kind of protect us

451
00:37:07,119 --> 00:37:14,560
protect them from us building things on
top of their power m power lines.

452
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:17,440
So that's what this easement's for,
moving from overhead power to

453
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:22,000
underground.
>> So we're granting an easement and then

454
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:24,640
Rocky Mountain Power will then own the
line underground. Are they going to

455
00:37:23,359 --> 00:37:30,800
install it or what?
>> So they they uh maintain and operate all

456
00:37:27,839 --> 00:37:34,480
power lines to the meter. So are the
meter will be located inside the

457
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:39,839
facility
approximately 500 ft. And so yeah, they

458
00:37:38,240 --> 00:37:43,680
need to be able to access that to
maintain those uh if there's ever an

459
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:46,560
issue. So that's what the easement's
for.

460
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:49,119
» So they will um they will take the off
the lines, put them in conduit under the

461
00:37:48,720 --> 00:37:51,200
ground.
>> Yes. Yep.

462
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:54,960
» Up to the meter.
>> Yep.

463
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:59,040
» Okay.
>> Um I would make a motion that we approve

464
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:02,880
Rocky Mountain Power Utility Easement at
the Lwood Road.

465
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:07,839
» I'll second it. We have a motion by
Commissioner Bingham to approve the

466
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:12,800
Rocky Mountain Power Utility Easement at
the Lwood Roadshed and a second by

467
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:14,720
Commissioner Perry. All in favor say I.
>> I.

468
00:38:13,599 --> 00:38:16,320
» Thank you, Darren. Appreciate it.
>> Thank you,

469
00:38:15,119 --> 00:38:19,359
» Commissioners. I believe there's also an
easement that goes along or resolution

470
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:22,560
that goes along with this one too that
needs to be signed. Approved and signed.

471
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:29,680
» I'd make a motion that we adopt
resolution 2621, which is the resolution

472
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:32,320
that goes along with um the easement.
Second.

473
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:36,560
» Commissioner Pingham, [clears throat]
Commissioner Perry approved the

474
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:39,839
resolution 2621 that goes along with
this easement and a second by

475
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,800
Commissioner Bingham. All in favor say

» I.
>> I. Thank you.

477
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,520
» Thank you guys.
>> Appreciate it, Aaron.

478
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:50,640
» Yep.
>> Okay. Jennica is going to come and talk

479
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:54,280
to us about um the sheriff SWAT
differential policy.

480
00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:02,960
» Okay. Okay, I'm bringing before you the
sheriff SWAT differential policy. So, we

481
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:08,960
have
um compiled a policy that would allow

482
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:14,079
the SWAT team to receive a differential
pay of $3 per hour for all of the

483
00:39:11,119 --> 00:39:19,119
additional skills and requirements that
they need to be able to be on that team.

484
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:23,119
Um
I don't know if the sheriff wants to add

485
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:29,760
anything or not, but um it would cover
for training and call outs. And then

486
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:34,079
there is um a provision in there that
Commissioner Perry asked me to put in

487
00:39:31,359 --> 00:39:38,640
that they add the case numbers to the
time sheets that I can keep track and

488
00:39:37,119 --> 00:39:42,960
make sure those differentials are paid
during the right times. So

489
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:47,440
if you have any questions, I'm happy to
address those.

490
00:39:45,839 --> 00:39:52,400
No, I'd make the motion that we approve
the sheriff's SWAT differential policy.

491
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:55,920
» Second.
>> We have a motion by Commissioner Perry

00:40:08,079 --> 00:40:14,560
Uh the second item I have for your
approval today is a resolution allowing

497
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:18,000
Boxholder County to pick up the tier 2
public safety employee retirement

498
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:23,040
contributions. This would be for law
enforcement and fire. It would change

499
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:28,839
the percent that we pick up from 4.73 to
5.98 as proposed by the Utah Retirement

» Thank you.
>> Okay.

508
00:41:04,240 --> 00:41:12,480
We are now um to our public comment
period. Those wishing to make public

509
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:16,079
comment shall sign the comment role and
be responsible for the following rules

510
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:20,400
outlined in the county commission rules
and procedures. Speakers will have one

511
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:24,480
three minute opportunity to speak
regardless of the number of items they

512
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:28,560
wish to address. Speakers shall address
their comments to the comm county

513
00:41:26,240 --> 00:41:33,280
commission only. This is a time to be
heard. There will not be a back and

514
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:38,160
forth dialogue with the commissioners.
Speakers may file copies of their

515
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:42,160
remarks or supporting information with
the county clerk. The clerk will make

516
00:41:40,319 --> 00:41:47,800
the information available to the county
commission. And we will start off with

517
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,800
Diana Hardy.

518
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:05,119
Okay. Deanna Hardy Brighgam the Boxeller
Committee of Liberty would like to

519
00:42:03,119 --> 00:42:10,079
remind our Boxeller County Commissioners
of our American history. There was a

520
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:13,760
debate between two groups. Alexander
Hamilton led the debate who thought

521
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:18,720
writing down the Bill of Rights would be
dangerous and James Madison led the

522
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:23,760
other group. James Madison thought
Alexander Alexander Hamilton made a good

523
00:42:21,359 --> 00:42:28,400
argument. But James Madison made a
promise to John Leland, pastor of the

524
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:32,560
Virginia Baptists, that he would secure
religious freedom. He further argued

525
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:38,160
that if the bill of rights is not
written down, the people would become

526
00:42:34,720 --> 00:42:43,440
lazy in luxury, pacified in prosperity,
inattentive, and would fall asleep.

527
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:48,000
James Madison argued that we must have
this bill of rights written down and

528
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:52,960
included in the constitution so that it
can be the people's constant sentinel so

529
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:57,280
that when the government tramples these
bill of rights the people can defend

530
00:42:54,880 --> 00:43:02,240
their rights. The fourth amendment
states, "The right of the people to be

531
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:06,079
secure in their persons, houses, papers,
and effects against unreasonable

532
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:11,040
searches and seizures shall not be
violated, and no warrant shall issue,

533
00:43:08,319 --> 00:43:15,520
but upon probable cause, supported by
oath or affirmation, and particularly

534
00:43:13,359 --> 00:43:20,400
describing the place to be searched, and
the persons or things to be seized. The

535
00:43:18,319 --> 00:43:26,160
AI data centers, also known as
surveillance centers, are spying on the

536
00:43:23,119 --> 00:43:33,200
people, violating the Fourth Amendment.
It was reported that there are 5,381

537
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:39,440
surveillance centers in America and 449
in China. The US is winning in the

538
00:43:36,720 --> 00:43:50,960
number of surveillance centers. Germany
521, UK 514, Canada 336, France 315,

539
00:43:46,240 --> 00:43:57,359
Australia 307, Netherlands 297, Russia
251, Japan 219. China has a social

540
00:43:55,200 --> 00:44:03,280
credit score system and it is already
here in America. I personally went to

541
00:44:00,240 --> 00:44:08,880
renew my driver's license in person and
because I did not renew it online, I was

542
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:13,200
penalized by an increased fee. We are
being trained to do everything online so

543
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:18,240
that the people can be tracked and
monitored just like the people in China.

544
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:22,800
The people buy a phone, purchase a
monthly subscription, and buy printer,

545
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:28,000
paper, ink, electricity to operate
everything. The solution is for the

546
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:32,480
people to starve the beast, the AI
surveillance centers, by shutting off

547
00:44:30,319 --> 00:44:36,640
online participation so as not to be
caught in the virtual prison our

548
00:44:34,079 --> 00:44:40,960
government has created. The power is
always in the people, and the people

549
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:44,560
must now stand and remedy the injury
that has been done to our

550
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:49,461
constitutionally protected rights. Thank
you.

551
00:44:46,319 --> 00:44:54,520
Thank you,
[applause]

552
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:54,520
Michelle Martin,

553
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,920
» Michelle Martin.

554
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:13,560
» Sorry, make sure

555
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:21,359
I'm a little nervous. I'm sorry.
>> You're fine.

556
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:27,119
» Okay. Um,
I just want to speak on behalf of uh

557
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:31,760
Beacon Recovery. I have witnessed the
devastating impact that mental health

558
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:36,720
disorders and addictions can have on
individuals and families. These

559
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:42,720
challenges do not discriminate
discriminate based on background, social

560
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:48,160
standing or financial status. Beacon
Recovery has been an invaluable resource

561
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:52,960
providing support and hope to countless
individuals

562
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:57,280
as well as providing sober living homes.
Thanks to beacon, strangers that had

563
00:45:55,119 --> 00:46:02,800
given up on the hope of ever being seen
as individuals that can have and have

564
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:08,079
been statistically proven to be healthy,
happy, normal, productive contributors

565
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:13,440
of society have flourished in their
times of need, including people I deeply

566
00:46:11,359 --> 00:46:18,880
care about.
Beacon state-of-the-art technologies of

567
00:46:16,079 --> 00:46:25,280
neurological brain mapping, acupuncture,
yoga as well as vitamins and media,

568
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:30,880
meditation,
doctors, nurses, therapists, counselors,

569
00:46:28,240 --> 00:46:35,440
peer support, case management that
doesn't just see the bottom line of

570
00:46:32,720 --> 00:46:41,760
money where we are only another patient.
Our free will to choose where we want to

571
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:47,280
get the help so many of us and our
families need is in jeopardy. Bear River

572
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:52,400
Mental Health is where they are trying
to make us go through. I for one

573
00:46:50,079 --> 00:46:57,839
wouldn't be alive if Beacon Recovery
wasn't an option for me. Despite the

574
00:46:55,359 --> 00:47:03,280
significant strides Beacon Recovery has
made in healing and guiding individuals

575
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:07,839
towards better lives, its doors are at
risk of being closed due to Bear River

576
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:13,520
wanting their slice of the cake, so to
speak. Beacon not only assists in

577
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:17,599
recovery, but also helps break cycles of
despair that affect generations,

578
00:47:16,079 --> 00:47:21,359
spreading healing throughout
communities.

579
00:47:19,119 --> 00:47:26,720
My own life has been touched and torn
apart for generations by these issues.

580
00:47:24,240 --> 00:47:32,960
making the services provided by Beacon
Recovery deeply personal and crucial.

581
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:38,880
Mental health and addiction issues
demand immediate attention. By helping

582
00:47:36,079 --> 00:47:44,000
Beacon Recovery remain optional,
operational, we can continue to save

583
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:48,640
lives, assist families in distress, and
pave the way for healthier future

584
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:53,280
generations. Through compassionate care
and dedicated support, Beacon Recovery

585
00:47:51,119 --> 00:47:58,960
teaches individuals to overcome their
challenges, fostering resilience and

586
00:47:56,160 --> 00:48:05,160
self-belief.
I'm sorry,

587
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:05,160
lost it there.

588
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:16,319
Unfortunately, without urgent action,
Beacon Recovery might not be able to

589
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:21,040
continue its life-saving work. To keep
its doors open, I am urging local

590
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:27,280
authorities and community leaders to
prioritize its citizens and stand beside

591
00:48:24,079 --> 00:48:32,400
us and with us at Beacon Recovery.
Investing in such services is not just

592
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:38,240
an investment in individuals but an
investment in the entire well-being of

593
00:48:35,359 --> 00:48:43,119
the community. To achieve this, I call
upon stakeholders and members of the

594
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:48,079
community to unite in supporting Beacon
and rallying together to save lives.

595
00:48:45,839 --> 00:48:52,480
Join me in safeguarding a crucial
lifeline

596
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:57,760
and help us advocate for sustained
support to keep Beacon's recoveries

597
00:48:54,640 --> 00:49:03,280
doors open. Together, we can ensure this
vital institution continues to flourish

598
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:08,559
and save lives. You can help us make a
difference, transforming despair into

599
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:13,920
hope and healing lives ravaged by mental
health disorders and addictions. Thank

600
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:18,014
you for standing beside and with us at
Beacon Recovery.

601
00:49:15,119 --> 00:49:20,034
» Thank you,
[applause]

602
00:49:21,119 --> 00:49:24,520
» Tori Garcia.

603
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:40,960
Good afternoon, gentlemen.
I am Tori Anne Garcia. I am 55 years

604
00:49:36,720 --> 00:49:51,359
old. Um I have um been at the Beacon for
almost a year. Um they supply um support

605
00:49:46,720 --> 00:49:55,839
um emotionally, mentally. Um the staff
um make sure that our well-being is

606
00:49:53,280 --> 00:50:03,599
always provided for in a proper manner.
Um that we have food, clothing, um we

607
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:11,760
get counseling, we get peer support, um
hypnosis, um neuro group therapy,

608
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:18,800
one-on-one therapy. Um
I'm 55 years old. I've been in and out

609
00:50:14,319 --> 00:50:25,680
of many um recovery programs. Um, none
have ever worked. Um, I think it would

610
00:50:22,079 --> 00:50:32,960
be detrimental to people in recovery to
not allow Medicaid to be able to support

611
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:40,480
the payment of our recovery. Um, it
would put a damper on people wanting to

612
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:47,440
um get better. Um, a lot of times having
to pay out of pocket is not an option um

613
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:53,040
because we can't afford to do so. So
that's why we rely on Medicaid um to

614
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:59,359
make sure that we have something to fall
back on to make sure that we can pay for

615
00:50:56,160 --> 00:51:05,359
our recovery and make ourselves better.
Um, Beacon Recovery has been one of the

616
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:13,599
only um, recovery programs in the seven
that I have been involved in that have

617
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:20,640
um, helped me understand why um, my
recovery is so important to keep a good

618
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:25,520
um, life standing um, and stay alive.
Um, at the same time, I think closing

619
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:31,839
the doors on the beacon would be one of
the biggest mistakes that we um in

620
00:51:29,359 --> 00:51:37,040
Bighgam that happened. Um, I think that
we need to keep the doors open so that

621
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:43,920
people in recovery have a place, safe
place to go to that they feel loved and

622
00:51:40,079 --> 00:51:49,040
welcomed in their recovery. And um, it
keeps addicts off the streets when

623
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:56,960
there's a recovery program that helps
us, you know. um the crime is down when

624
00:51:53,440 --> 00:52:01,280
you get healthy and recovered. So um
with that being said, I just hope that

625
00:51:58,720 --> 00:52:04,720
you take into consideration keeping the
Beacon doors open. So thank you very

626
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:07,715
much and have a blessed day.

>> Hello,

630
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:27,440
my name is Maddie and I am a woman in
recovery. I would like to address the

631
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:33,280
upcoming transition of behavioral health
and substance use treatment services to

632
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:38,319
Bear River beginning July 1st. I know
firsthand how difficult it is to be to

633
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:43,440
come out of the depths of addiction and
rebuild a life. I've had to do it many

634
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:48,800
times. Recovery is not something that
happens overnight. It takes trust,

635
00:52:45,599 --> 00:52:53,200
vulnerability, consistency, and a
support system. For many of us, learning

636
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:58,000
to be honest and open with others is one
of the hardest things we will ever have

637
00:52:54,880 --> 00:53:02,319
to do. Because of that, I am concerned
about how quickly this transition has

638
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:07,680
occurred. I'm curious as to why this has
moved so fast and why there appears to

639
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:12,319
be have been little to no communication
with treatment facilities. Um, there's

640
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:18,400
more than just Bear River in three
counties. There's there's been very

641
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:22,480
little to none communication about this.
Um

642
00:53:20,079 --> 00:53:26,240
why were the clients not consulted? Why
were other treatment providers not

643
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:30,319
brought to into the conversation? Why
were communities not were given so

644
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:34,480
little time to understand what is
happening before these changes were

645
00:53:31,839 --> 00:53:39,040
implemented? These changes have make me
believe that it's more about a monetary

646
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:42,559
gain than well-being of others. The
speed of this transition has already

647
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:46,960
created disruption in people's lives in
recovery. Many of us have spent years

648
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:51,280
letting being let down by systems that
were supposed to help us. Trust is

649
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:54,720
already difficult for people in recovery
and sudden changes like this can

650
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:59,839
reinforce the feeling that decisions are
being made for us rather than with us,

651
00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:04,720
telling us again that we are not smart
enough to choose our own recovery.

652
00:54:02,720 --> 00:54:08,319
Many individuals received letters in the
mail informing them that their treatment

653
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:12,559
would be changing and that they would be
effect and they effectively had no

654
00:54:10,559 --> 00:54:17,119
choice in the matter. There was no
meaningful discussion, no opportunity

655
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:21,920
for questions and no effort to help
people understand the transition. The

656
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:25,920
message many people received was this
will happen regardless of their

657
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:29,280
concerns, experiences, and treatment
needs.

658
00:54:27,359 --> 00:54:32,800
I am also deeply concerned about the
impact that forcing individuals to

659
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:37,839
change treatment providers without their
consent can ha can have on recovery

660
00:54:35,359 --> 00:54:42,319
outcomes. Many people in early recovery
struggle with change, uncertainty, and

661
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:47,280
instability. Major disruptions to their
support systems can create overwhelming

662
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:51,359
stress and anxiety. Unfortunately, many
individuals have historically coped with

663
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:56,720
those feelings through substance use.
With significant changes, those imposed

664
00:54:53,760 --> 00:55:03,280
without preparation, communication, or
choice, the risk of relapse increases.

665
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:06,960
Recovery depends on stability, trust,
consistency, and personal investment

666
00:55:05,119 --> 00:55:11,119
into the treatment process. Taking away
a person's voice and their own treatment

667
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:16,240
can undermine the very foundation that
recovery is built upon. As someone who

668
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:20,400
works with people in recovery every day,
I have heard significant concerns from

669
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:25,040
clients. Many have told me about
previously attended services through

670
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:30,640
Bear River and felt that the treatment
was repetitive in ineffective for their

671
00:55:28,240 --> 00:55:34,640
needs. Some have expressed concerns
about the lack of accountability,

672
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:41,040
including situations where substances
were went undetected

673
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:46,000
or unressed through their UAS.
Others have reported challenges access

674
00:55:43,599 --> 00:55:50,240
accessing required services from Bear
River, such as having to travel from

675
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:54,880
Tmont simply to complete a mandatory
drug testing because they don't offer

676
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:59,119
those services there.
Recovery is not a one-sizefits-all.

677
00:55:57,839 --> 00:56:03,359
Different people need different
approaches. Some individuals need

678
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:07,520
intensive treatment, some need long-term
support, some need specialized services,

679
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:13,280
and some need strong community-based
recovery programs. Lasting recovery

680
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:19,040
often requires a longterm commitment and
individ care is not simply placement

681
00:56:16,240 --> 00:56:27,699
into a single system. Single systems do
not work. We need options.

684
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:45,839
Hi T.
>> How are you? Good. How are you?

685
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:50,240
» Okay. So, I wrote y'all a letter. Okay.
>> All right. Commissioners, my name is

686
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:54,559
Casey Kano, and I'm here today as a
mother, not a politician, not a healthc

687
00:56:52,240 --> 00:57:01,119
care executive, just a mother who has
spent years fighting to keep her son

688
00:56:56,240 --> 00:57:04,559
alive. That's my son. Um,
my son has been involved with Bear River

689
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:10,880
Mental Health Services since he was
eight years old. The last time he went

690
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:15,520
there, he was 17 and six months sober
simply due to expressing cravings to his

691
00:57:13,119 --> 00:57:19,280
therapist. She suggested methadone. And
that recommendation sent him down a path

692
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:23,520
that ultimately led to a near fatal
overdose. For years, we did everything

693
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:28,480
we were told to do. We asked for help.
We showed up. We trusted the system. Yet

694
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:31,839
today, my son still battles addiction.
When he desperately needed treatment, I

695
00:57:30,319 --> 00:57:36,640
reached out for services through the
health department and was told there was

696
00:57:33,599 --> 00:57:41,119
a month wait. When someone is battling
addiction, a month can feel like a death

697
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:45,119
sentence.
Then when the appointment finally

698
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:49,920
arrived, he wasn't even on the calendar.
As a mother, I am not worried about

699
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:53,839
paperwork contracts or who manages the
program on paper. I'm worried about

700
00:57:51,599 --> 00:57:57,359
losing my son's life. And I'm worried
about the lives of thousands of northern

701
00:57:55,520 --> 00:58:02,880
Utah patients who are fighting the same
battle. Because while system debate

702
00:57:59,599 --> 00:58:07,280
policies, families like mine are praying
children can survive long enough to get

703
00:58:04,559 --> 00:58:12,000
the help they need. Desperate to save my
son, I enrolled him into a 28-day

704
00:58:09,359 --> 00:58:18,559
treatment program that cost me nearly
$48,000 for 28 days. I am still paying

705
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:23,359
that bill today. But what hurt even more
than that was my son felt like a number.

706
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:28,000
And after 28 days, he was discharged
because the coverage ended. Soon after,

707
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:32,000
he relapsed. That experience taught me
something I will never forget. Recovery

708
00:58:30,079 --> 00:58:36,640
is not measured in days on a calendar.
Recovery is not measured or sorry,

709
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:41,680
recovery is measured in relationships,
trust, support, and time. Then we found

710
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:45,520
Beacon Recovery. And for the first time,
my son wasn't treated like another

711
00:58:43,119 --> 00:58:50,160
number on a chart. He was treated like a
person, a young man worth fighting for,

712
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:53,839
a life worth saving. through Beacon
Recovery. For the first time in his

713
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:57,920
life, my son is taking accountability
for his actions. He is open and honest.

714
00:58:56,000 --> 00:59:03,280
He is happy. And he has even started
taking online college courses. A year

715
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:06,640
ago, I I couldn't have imagined that.
And I didn't even know if he would be

716
00:59:04,799 --> 00:59:10,559
alive today.
That is the difference with the right

717
00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:15,520
treatment program. They didn't just help
him get sober, they helped him build a

718
00:59:12,319 --> 00:59:19,280
future. Look at Tony P
and the graduates who continue working,

719
00:59:17,839 --> 00:59:23,359
thriving, and helping others in
recovery. That is what long-term

720
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:27,200
recovery looks like. That is what
happens when someone refuses to give up

721
00:59:25,119 --> 00:59:32,160
on people. Beacon didn't just help save
my son's life. They gave me my son back

722
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:35,920
and they saved my life. Today, I stand
here not just for my son, but for every

723
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:40,079
family searching for hope. And every
patient deserves the right to choose

724
00:59:37,839 --> 00:59:43,599
their treatment program
that gives them the best chance to

725
00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:49,119
recover. Please remember the faces
behind the policies and the families um

726
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:54,000
behind the numbers. And please protect
patient choice because recovery is not

727
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:58,000
one-sizefits-all. When someone finally
finds a place that is helping them heal,

728
00:59:56,000 --> 01:00:02,480
we should protect that lifeline, not
take it away. If this was your child,

729
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:09,000
you would fight for them, too. And that
is exactly why I'm standing here today.

730
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:09,000
Thank you. Thank [applause] you,

731
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:14,119
Tracy Palentino.

732
01:00:15,599 --> 01:00:24,079
» Hello. Good afternoon.
Um, I just wanted to um tell a little

733
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:29,119
bit about my story. I moved here from
Illinois. Um, and a few months later, I

734
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:35,040
relapsed.
And during that time, I found out I had

735
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:39,839
endstage uh renal failure and I do
dialysis. And um I but I wanted to get

736
01:00:38,319 --> 01:00:43,280
clean more than ever cuz I had four
years before and I wanted to go back to

737
01:00:41,599 --> 01:00:48,079
that. [snorts]
And um in the hospital they the nurses

738
01:00:46,559 --> 01:00:53,599
were help trying to help me find a
place. I was in Oram and we they

739
01:00:51,359 --> 01:00:57,520
branched. I I wanted around there. They
but no one would take me. They branched

740
01:00:55,359 --> 01:01:04,640
out and Beacon um recovery was the only
place that would accept me. And not only

741
01:01:00,079 --> 01:01:12,640
that, they Tony um um agreed to pay my
rent. So I stay there. Um, and if if I

742
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:19,760
were to get be homeless, I I have h a
lot of boxes um over probably a hundred

743
01:01:16,079 --> 01:01:26,559
boxes of my diialysis um supplies and my
machine and I would be homeless. And um

744
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:35,440
this place has not only kept me sober,
but got to the root of why I continue to

745
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:41,359
relapse and use. And just like um Mr.
Vincent said in the prayer that we that

746
01:01:39,359 --> 01:01:46,720
America is a free country and we deserve
the right the freedom to choose what we

747
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:53,292
want where we want to go and I choose
Beacon and I hope you allow us to remain

748
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:53,292
open. Thank you, [applause]

749
01:02:00,799 --> 01:02:05,160
» Bridget. Caught him.

750
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:15,559
» Hello again, fellas.

751
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:24,799
It has been I'm Bridget Cotm, Bighgam
City. Um, it has been 52 days since you

752
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:30,880
yelled at the residents of Boxelder
County, your own constituents, telling

753
01:02:27,119 --> 01:02:35,920
us to, for hell's sakes, grow up. 52
days, and there has still not been a

754
01:02:33,359 --> 01:02:39,440
public apology. As a result of your
decision to allow Maida and this data

755
01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:44,319
center to steamroll our community, your
short temp your shirt your short tempers

756
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:49,040
when people are just trying to be heard
and your utter failure to listen to the

757
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:52,319
people you represent. We took action
because you refused to apologize for

758
01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:56,000
your actions. Boxhelder County showed
you exactly what we think of your

759
01:02:53,520 --> 01:03:00,000
behavior at the ballot box on Tuesday.
We voted you out.

760
01:02:58,319 --> 01:03:04,400
The primary election was a historic
referendum on transparency, respect, and

761
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:08,960
accountability. It provi It proved that
the people of this county are not a

762
01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:12,319
captive audience to be scolded. We are
the stakeholders, the taxpayers, and the

763
01:03:10,799 --> 01:03:16,960
citizens who actually live with the
consequences of your votes. When you

764
01:03:15,039 --> 01:03:20,480
chose to walk out of the room on May 4th
to vote remotely rather than face the

765
01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:23,920
people who elected you, you drew a line
in the sand. On Tuesday, the voters

766
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:27,760
responded.
But our work here isn't done just

767
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:31,039
because the election is over. You still
hold the those seats for the remainder

768
01:03:29,359 --> 01:03:34,160
of your terms. And while you may no
longer have a political future in this

769
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:37,920
county, you still have a responsibility
to it. We are watching every single

770
01:03:36,559 --> 01:03:42,720
decision you make between now and
January. The steamrolling stops now. We

771
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:46,160
expect and demand that for the rest of
your time in office, you halt any

772
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:49,760
further concessions to Maida. You
protect our local resources and you

773
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:54,720
treat the residents of Boxelder County
with the basic respect we deserve. You

774
01:03:51,920 --> 01:04:00,559
told us to grow up. Well, the community
is grown up. We organized, we showed up,

775
01:03:57,680 --> 01:04:04,880
and we voted. Now it is your turn to
show this these chambers some maturity.

776
01:04:03,039 --> 01:04:08,000
Treat your constituents with respect.
Listen to our concerns and stop pushing

777
01:04:06,640 --> 01:04:13,464
through a project this community has
soundly rejected. Thank you.

778
01:04:11,444 --> 01:04:13,464
[applause]

779
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:18,039
Denny L. McKinnon

780
01:04:20,614 --> 01:04:22,634
[snorts]

781
01:04:30,799 --> 01:04:39,520
sorry.
So I am Jenny Lynn McKinnon, resident of

782
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:44,640
Boxelder Brigham City for about 36 years
now. I'm also a registered nurse. I've

783
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:49,039
been a nurse for 35 years plus. I've
also am currently working with Beacon

784
01:04:47,359 --> 01:04:55,039
Recovery and I've been there for almost
5 years. I'm also a hypnotherapist at

785
01:04:51,839 --> 01:04:59,160
Beacon Recovery. Beacon Recovery is a
holistic innovative

786
01:04:59,359 --> 01:05:08,440
Christc centered
recovery program. A recovery program

787
01:05:05,039 --> 01:05:08,440
that works.

788
01:05:11,119 --> 01:05:18,960
I would like to say that a rising tide
raises all ships.

789
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:26,799
Beacon recovery has been established
since 2019 and since that time we have

790
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:32,880
been saving lives in box elder. Beacon
has a current we are a very innovative

791
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:38,720
holistic intensive outpatient facility.
We have three sober living homes

792
01:05:36,079 --> 01:05:44,640
and our rec our current recidivism rate
as of today is 37%.

793
01:05:42,319 --> 01:05:49,119
This is a revolutionary success rate for
recovery. We have proven numbers. We

794
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:54,640
have been working on making our success
available on a national level with the

795
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:59,760
secretary of DHS,
Mr. Kennedy himself to implement

796
01:05:57,280 --> 01:06:04,720
recovery that works to save lives across
our great nation. By forcing every

797
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:10,720
patient to go through Bay River
behavioral health, patients are put at

798
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:16,160
at risk
and patients seeking proper treatment

799
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:23,200
are then at risk for relapse and
possible death.

800
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:27,400
In 2024, we had we lost 13 people, 13
lives to drug overdose.

801
01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:37,119
They got caught. They got caught in that
window of time between

802
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:42,319
from time release of prison.
I won't go into that. I'll cry.

803
01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:46,599
But I just asked the question, how many
more lives do we need to lose

804
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:52,520
today? Commissioners, you have an
opportunity to stop the bleeding.

805
01:06:52,640 --> 01:07:01,680
A rising tide raises all ships, and we
ask your support in raising the tide for

806
01:06:58,720 --> 01:07:07,839
our nation as we continue to reform
recovery into real recovery. You're

807
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:11,680
seeing it here today. Real recovery.
This is what it looks like. people that

808
01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:15,039
are back to living their their best
lives, back with their families,

809
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:20,160
families that are working, that are
healing, that are that are productive

810
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:23,960
members of a society.
What we're doing works.

811
01:07:25,039 --> 01:07:35,119
I just want to end with a reminder that
a rising tide raises all ships.

812
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:42,000
The hope is that Bear River mental
health, Bear River behavioral health and

813
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:48,000
beacon recovery that we can rise and be
the best that we can be. And obviously

814
01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:51,280
there is reform that is needed. There
are changes that need to be made at Bear

815
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:54,960
River Behavioral Health. And I was so
happy when I heard that that was

816
01:07:52,799 --> 01:07:59,920
happening. I put in my name to be part
of the community commission for that and

817
01:07:57,520 --> 01:08:03,400
I was declined. Why? because I I'm an
employee of Beacon.

818
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:09,200
I
am very passionate about health. I'm

819
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:15,920
passionate about recovery. I'm
passionate about saving lives. Every

820
01:08:12,559 --> 01:08:20,480
life matters. And thank you very much
for all of your support. Thank you for

821
01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:24,880
being here today and all that you do.
>> Thank you, [applause]

822
01:08:23,622 --> 01:08:27,880
[cheering]
Rene.

823
01:08:35,440 --> 01:08:42,239
Thank you very much for visiting with me
today.

824
01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:48,799
My name is Renee Kraik. I'm a registered
nurse. I've been a nurse for 40 years. I

825
01:08:45,279 --> 01:08:55,199
also have a master's degree in public uh
public health, public education, and I

826
01:08:52,159 --> 01:09:00,560
also am an employee of uh Beacon
Recovery. I do also do the uh guided

827
01:08:59,040 --> 01:09:05,440
imagery.
And what I wanted to share with you

828
01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:12,080
today is that
um it's not a one-sizefitsall

829
01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:18,400
experience here at Beacon. And what I
really appreciate there is that they

830
01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:22,960
really look at the individual.
Um

831
01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:30,640
for example uh one of the things that we
do is we do uh amino acid therapy which

832
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:36,480
means that the proteins that the that
our patients need to make their

833
01:09:32,159 --> 01:09:42,400
neurotransmitters work we provide that.
I had another patient who explained how

834
01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:47,600
important the neuro was for him because
he felt like his brain connections were

835
01:09:45,359 --> 01:09:52,000
starting to connect that never had done
that before. And then another person

836
01:09:50,239 --> 01:09:57,520
another person was explaining how
important it was to have guided imagery

837
01:09:54,560 --> 01:10:04,719
which helps him to be able to see in the
future what's going to be his life in

838
01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:10,679
the future. And so
these things are not offered at Bear

839
01:10:07,679 --> 01:10:10,679
River.

840
01:10:10,880 --> 01:10:22,239
And so each person is individual.
Each person needs to be able to see

841
01:10:18,480 --> 01:10:27,440
their life as a possibility rather than,
you know, just another person going

842
01:10:24,080 --> 01:10:32,400
through. And so that's why I love being
here at Beacon. I feel like there's

843
01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:37,760
miracles happen every day.
And those miracles are, you know, really

844
01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:44,000
beautiful because
it's individualistic and we have so many

845
01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:49,520
different programs. Even just having
yoga and having, you know, all of the

846
01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:55,840
different little pieces they have
um they have nutrition counseling.

847
01:10:52,880 --> 01:11:00,960
That's super important. So that
individualism really makes a huge

848
01:10:57,840 --> 01:11:05,760
difference. And I wanted to just say,
you know, even though all the other

849
01:11:03,199 --> 01:11:11,600
counties in the state have chosen to do
a certain thing, doesn't mean that you

850
01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:16,640
guys can't be like the forerunners of
what's possible for our people. And

851
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:20,920
that's all I wanted to say.
>> Thank you. Appreciate [applause] it.

852
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:26,199
» Jerry Sorenson.

853
01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:40,000
Hi, my name is Sheri Sorenson. I've been
I'm a yoga instructor at Beacon

854
01:11:36,159 --> 01:11:47,040
Recovery. Um, and
I've practiced yoga for 30 years and

855
01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:55,360
taught yoga for over 20 years. Um, and
lost family members to addiction.

856
01:11:50,480 --> 01:12:02,400
I found yoga for for physical reasons
and found how it helped me mentally and

857
01:11:59,440 --> 01:12:08,400
that is the mentality. Yoga help y yoga
is just another like previous speakers

858
01:12:06,159 --> 01:12:13,600
have said of one of the many mentalities
that may help someone be might be

859
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:17,280
needing that nutrition someone might be
needing that but yoga helps with

860
01:12:15,280 --> 01:12:24,239
mindfulness. It helps a person to be
able to sit still with themselves,

861
01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:30,560
understand themselves and and process
the go through the process in the

862
01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:37,199
stillness that recovery requires. It
requires them to get to know themselves.

863
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:42,400
So we do physical asas and movements and
yoga, but we also have meditation where

864
01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:47,600
they can slow down and they learn how to
use this. And it has been beautiful to

865
01:12:45,280 --> 01:12:53,120
see some of my students come up to me
and say how much it's helped as they

866
01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:59,520
start taking this practice out of Beacon
and using it at home. So they can stop

867
01:12:57,360 --> 01:13:05,520
before they react. They they that
teaches their brain to stop and think

868
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:10,080
before they might make a a wrong choice.
Um

869
01:13:07,199 --> 01:13:16,000
just as um and I'm also into nutrition.
So just as a body needs more than just

870
01:13:13,120 --> 01:13:23,199
protein. It needs the all the many
things. Um we can we can survive on one

871
01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:26,719
like maybe just protein but we can't
thrive without fruits and vegetables and

872
01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:32,480
all the different colors and the
nutrients we get from everything. As

873
01:13:29,440 --> 01:13:37,760
Beacon offers the variety of modalities
to help people. One may help one person

874
01:13:35,360 --> 01:13:47,040
more than the other. And I think it's
vital that we have options um for them

875
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:54,000
to recover with the nutrition, the yoga,
health coaching, and the many therapies

876
01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:58,159
that they have. And I it's it's the most
fulfilling job I have ever had in my

877
01:13:56,000 --> 01:14:02,560
life because I feel like I'm making a
difference on a daily basis.

878
01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:05,591
Thank you for your time.
>> Thank you. [applause]

880

» Quinnland.
>> There we go.

881
01:14:15,361 --> 01:14:18,080
[laughter]
>> You'd think I could get that right once,

882
01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:20,719
Julie.
>> One of the one of these days.

883
01:14:19,360 --> 01:14:25,920
» You never know. We might have to work
after commission meeting. [laughter]

884
01:14:23,120 --> 01:14:30,719
» Well, my writing again. I wrote it
>> kind of fast. Hello again. I'm Julie

885
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:35,840
Quinnland
and I really wanted to talk about the

886
01:14:33,199 --> 01:14:42,800
problem with water in
um in our county and that the data

887
01:14:39,120 --> 01:14:49,760
center would have will affect hopefully
still want to stop that. But I um I'm

888
01:14:45,920 --> 01:14:59,360
very concerned to also about um the lack
of med uh help in our state of Utah for

889
01:14:55,760 --> 01:15:06,080
those that need um mental health, which
is as important as um physical health.

890
01:15:03,280 --> 01:15:12,239
Um I grew up in a family of four. I have
a brother and I had a mom and a dad

891
01:15:09,120 --> 01:15:16,800
obviously and three of the four were
drug addicted or alcohol. Drug or

892
01:15:14,400 --> 01:15:25,199
alcohol. I was the only one that was
never addicted to drugs or alcohol. Um

893
01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:30,159
my brother um my dad died very young. My
mom overcame

894
01:15:27,199 --> 01:15:34,400
uh but she didn't do it through um she
did it through religion. But my brother

895
01:15:31,760 --> 01:15:40,640
had to go he had to go to a treatment
program. He um had four DUIs in a row

896
01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:46,400
before he was sentenced for the first
one and he had actually had one well

897
01:15:43,679 --> 01:15:53,360
before that. So he actually had five
that he had cleared. So and whatever,

898
01:15:50,080 --> 01:15:58,000
but he had these four and they locked
him up and threw away the key, which is

899
01:15:55,679 --> 01:16:04,000
what should have happened. You know, he
he was dangerous and there were times

900
01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:08,000
and when I was a young woman when he
would drive home drunk and I wish I'd

901
01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:11,679
called the police on him because the
sooner um that they get help is the

902
01:16:10,239 --> 01:16:15,679
better and we don't need dangerous
people on the road. Well, when he was in

903
01:16:14,159 --> 01:16:21,280
jail,
um, they offered him a residential

904
01:16:18,239 --> 01:16:25,360
treatment program and he took it. And
one thing he says is that his roommate

905
01:16:23,520 --> 01:16:31,120
refused. He's like, "No, those people
are crazy, you know, and he didn't want

906
01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:34,800
to give up his drugs or alcohol, and he
just wanted to stay in jail." But my

907
01:16:33,440 --> 01:16:39,760
brother took it because he thought
anything would be better. And my

908
01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:46,400
brother's been clean and sober since
that time. And it's been at least 35

909
01:16:43,280 --> 01:16:54,640
years that he has held a job, that he
has paid taxes, that he has owns his own

910
01:16:49,600 --> 01:16:58,560
house, and now in our,
you know, now he helps me take care of

911
01:16:56,800 --> 01:17:03,760
my mother who broke her hip two weeks
ago. You know, he drives down from Salt

912
01:17:00,719 --> 01:17:08,800
Lake. And if if not for treatment
centers, I have no idea where my brother

913
01:17:06,719 --> 01:17:14,960
would be. You know, he would have served
his time in jail. But then what? You

914
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:19,199
know, I mean,
and you know, if there are treatment

915
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:22,880
centers out there that don't work, then
they probably should be shut down. But

916
01:17:21,199 --> 01:17:27,679
what I've understood is that Beacon
works and we should keep it. And that's

917
01:17:26,080 --> 01:17:29,953
that's all I have to say. Thanks.

919
01:17:42,640 --> 01:17:50,320
Hello, gentlemen. My name is Tony P.
I own Beacon Recovery. And Tyler, your

920
01:17:48,719 --> 01:17:55,280
prayer was actually kind of fun for me
because when you talked about those

921
01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:58,239
veterans, I'm one of those. I'm a
disabled veteran that served honorably

922
01:17:56,800 --> 01:18:01,280
both in the United States Navy and the
United States Army. I put my life on the

923
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:06,400
line for this country and for the
freedoms that are at risk right now.

924
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:09,840
People should get the opportunity to
choose where, when, and who they get

925
01:18:08,080 --> 01:18:14,800
their treatment from. This plan that
you, sir, Mr. Perry, are in charge of.

926
01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:20,560
If I'm not mistaken,
you, sir, are the chairperson of this

927
01:18:18,239 --> 01:18:24,239
monstrosity plan, right? That's killing
people. That's right. That's not really

928
01:18:22,719 --> 01:18:27,840
something you all want to hear when you
send people to their death, which is

929
01:18:25,679 --> 01:18:32,080
exactly what's happening at Bear River
Mental Health. Let me give you a brief

930
01:18:30,159 --> 01:18:36,000
synopsis of how this works because
apparently you sir don't know and

931
01:18:34,560 --> 01:18:40,239
neither does Jordan Matthysse who's
sitting over here. Let me explain you

932
01:18:37,440 --> 01:18:45,679
how this works. Somebody uses drugs for
10 years. Let's call it heroin or

933
01:18:42,880 --> 01:18:50,480
fentanyl or alcohol.
They stop because maybe they went to

934
01:18:48,400 --> 01:18:56,719
jail or they found beacon recovery which
has happened. They're clean for the

935
01:18:52,800 --> 01:19:02,640
first time in decades then and they've
been through Bay River Mental Health in

936
01:18:59,199 --> 01:19:07,520
your plan that you approved, Mr. Perry,
and it didn't work because when people

937
01:19:05,440 --> 01:19:14,800
go to that facility, Bear River Mental
Health, they are getting high every day

938
01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:22,400
on fentanyl and heroin. That's right.
They're in Jordan Matthysse's program

939
01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:27,600
high. Now, when we get drunk
and we go around someone that isn't

940
01:19:24,960 --> 01:19:32,800
drinking, we can tell people that are
addicted to these substances can do as

941
01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:38,280
well tell instantly and it causes them
to want to relapse and then they die.

942
01:19:41,840 --> 01:19:45,880
Did you hear what I just said?

943
01:19:50,159 --> 01:19:57,280
They die.
Dead.

944
01:19:54,400 --> 01:20:03,360
There's no doover.
That's it. No second chances. It's over.

945
01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:10,000
And my problem is they often times have
husbands, wives,

946
01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:16,800
children that repeat the process. It's a
revolving door. So we you get to know

947
01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:21,280
Jordan Matthysse who's in this room and
you Mr. Perry I have no intention of

948
01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:25,360
sending one person to Bear River. I have
not done one single case agreement nor

949
01:20:23,120 --> 01:20:29,520
shall I. I will treat these patients for
free and then I will go borrow money as

950
01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:34,560
long as I have to and as long as I have
to I will treat them for free. Not one

951
01:20:31,679 --> 01:20:39,920
person will be sent to their death. This
gentlemen is a lawsuit. We are suing the

952
01:20:38,080 --> 01:20:44,480
Bear River Health Department, Department
of Health and Human Services, and Bear

953
01:20:42,000 --> 01:20:48,800
River Mental Health. This is the
evidence that you asked for. And Mr.

954
01:20:46,159 --> 01:20:52,239
Perry, I'm very tickled that you're
finally asking for our numbers in

955
01:20:50,480 --> 01:20:56,480
reference to our recidivism rate. I only
wish you would have done so two or three

956
01:20:53,920 --> 01:21:01,280
years ago
because in 2024, 13 people died of drug

957
01:20:59,199 --> 01:21:04,800
overdoses in your county, sir. And I'm
pretty sure you took an oath for these

958
01:21:02,960 --> 01:21:12,080
people to protect them, and you didn't
do very well. Matter of fact, you were a

959
01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:16,880
dismal failure with this program.
Nine of those people wouldn't have died

960
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:23,600
and nine families wouldn't have lost
their loved one. Now, you all can't stop

961
01:21:20,719 --> 01:21:30,239
this crap that you started. I know you
cannot, but the state of Utah can, and

962
01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:34,960
the TTRO is right behind it. We will not
let you do this. And together, these

963
01:21:31,840 --> 01:21:38,856
people behind me, we will stop this.
Thank you,

964
01:21:36,836 --> 01:21:38,856
[applause]

965
01:21:40,766 --> 01:21:42,786
[cheering]

966
01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:47,960
» Jordan Matthysse.

967
01:21:57,520 --> 01:22:06,320
I just want to share with the commission
that in this transition um [snorts] one

968
01:22:04,639 --> 01:22:13,440
the
what we're doing or what what has been

969
01:22:09,199 --> 01:22:17,600
put in place is not radical.
It is what has been done across the

970
01:22:15,840 --> 01:22:26,159
state.
Um, you know as well as I know that the

971
01:22:22,639 --> 01:22:31,520
counties have that match requirement
and there's something that's called

972
01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:37,920
managed care that helps to oversee and
control costs. If we don't have that

973
01:22:34,800 --> 01:22:44,159
managed care in place,
then the liability for taxpayers to

974
01:22:42,080 --> 01:22:51,280
cover Medicaid
um that Medicaid match can go up. So

975
01:22:47,440 --> 01:22:57,600
there's a process in the state of Utah
and every other jurisdiction is under it

976
01:22:55,040 --> 01:23:04,800
where there is a managed care
organization that creates a network that

977
01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:08,239
provides opportunities for those in
Medicaid

978
01:23:06,480 --> 01:23:14,320
um that are seeking behavioral health
services to receive treatment within

979
01:23:10,800 --> 01:23:20,719
that network. Um there is a network
there are options and individual

980
01:23:17,840 --> 01:23:25,440
providers can consider being part of
that

981
01:23:22,239 --> 01:23:32,639
in this transition we have Mr. pool
reference single case agreements.

982
01:23:28,239 --> 01:23:39,120
What we what the transition as we go
through this transition, everyone will

983
01:23:35,120 --> 01:23:44,080
have the opportunity to complete their
treatment with their current provider,

984
01:23:41,280 --> 01:23:49,440
but there will be the oversight of the
managed care organization. They'll

985
01:23:46,239 --> 01:23:53,199
essentially be part of that network. So
every single person at Beacon that wants

986
01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:58,800
to continue their treatment and have it
covered by Medicaid can sign that can

987
01:23:56,480 --> 01:24:04,239
get that single case agreement and
receive the care and complete their care

988
01:24:01,280 --> 01:24:08,080
with Beacon. Mr. Pool would just have to
agree to be part of that network and be

989
01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:12,320
subject to the oversight of the managed
care organization. This is the same

990
01:24:10,719 --> 01:24:18,480
structure that's been put in place
across the entirety of the state. We

991
01:24:15,040 --> 01:24:23,760
have been an outlier in this way. Um,
and we're moving towards that. Um, so

992
01:24:21,840 --> 01:24:29,400
that's all I had to say. Clarify a few
things.

993
01:24:24,800 --> 01:24:29,400
» Thank you, Shay.

994
01:24:35,360 --> 01:24:43,679
» Good afternoon, guys.
Um, my name is Shay. I am a recovering

995
01:24:41,280 --> 01:24:49,520
addict. Um, I actually work at Beacon
Recovery and I've been to Bar Mental

996
01:24:46,960 --> 01:24:55,520
Health for substance abuse. They are not
equipped to do substance abuse. Their

997
01:24:52,560 --> 01:25:02,000
therapist prescribes
medication without the doctor's

998
01:24:57,840 --> 01:25:06,639
recognition. Um, and it is it's not a
good place.

999
01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:11,600
They do not listen to the patients. They
do not take anything into consideration

1000
01:25:09,360 --> 01:25:20,560
of what the patient is going through
mentally, physically, emotionally.

1001
01:25:15,040 --> 01:25:25,760
Um, I wouldn't on my worst enemy
send anybody

1002
01:25:22,960 --> 01:25:30,719
to that place over there.
I would send them anywhere in the state

1003
01:25:27,199 --> 01:25:34,880
of Utah but Bear River.
Um,

1004
01:25:32,560 --> 01:25:39,199
Medicaid should honestly just be the
same as it always has been. You get to

1005
01:25:37,280 --> 01:25:44,239
choose where you get your dental from.
You get to choose where you get your

1006
01:25:40,480 --> 01:25:51,400
eyeglasses from. We should have options
because like everybody in Beacon has

1007
01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:51,400
said before, one does not fit all

1008
01:25:51,679 --> 01:26:01,360
and it never will be and never will fit
just one person going to one place.

1009
01:25:58,239 --> 01:26:06,699
We need options.
And that's really what I have to say.

1010
01:26:04,480 --> 01:26:08,719
Thank you.

1011
