1 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:09,879 To the flag of the United States of America 2 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,880 Here 3 00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:55,360 » I would accept a motion to approve the agenda whenever we're ready. Make sure 4 00:00:52,399 --> 00:01:02,280 to approve the agenda. Second move and seconded. All those in favor say I. I. 5 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:02,280 opposed.

Been moved and seconded to 8 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,840 accept the minutes as presented. All those in favor say I. 9 00:01:17,119 --> 00:01:24,880 » I. >> Opposed. Motion carried. 10 00:01:21,759 --> 00:01:29,360 » Uh, general public comment. Randy. >> Y. 11 00:01:26,799 --> 00:01:34,320 Uh good morning. I have uh two items for the board. First, last year it was 12 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:37,920 publicly reported that the county would file a motion seeking reimbursement of 13 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:42,640 the legal cost and occurred to the prosecutor versus Clare County lawsuit. 14 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:47,360 The public has a right to a clear written explanation of why that motion 15 00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:50,560 was never filed. I formally request that the board provide that written 16 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:56,240 explanation and place it in the public record. Second, regarding the Clare 17 00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:00,320 County Airport, just prior to this board voting on the grant acceptance, a 18 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:05,840 representative from the Michigan Office of Aeronautics stated that the airport 19 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:10,399 had eight base aircraft with only half of them airworthy. A couple of months 20 00:02:08,239 --> 00:02:16,319 later, the new airport manager did survey the eight hanger lot leases. That 21 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:21,360 survey revealed a clear discrepancy. Only one airworthy aircraft. A few 22 00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:26,560 non-airworthy aircraft were being worked on and several hanger lots with no 23 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:31,040 aircraft at all. Prior to the grant acceptance last year, at least one 24 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:34,800 individual came before this board and expressed interest in stating of 25 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:39,280 business at the airport. It's now been a year. Is there an update? I also note 26 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:43,599 that the airport committee minutes on the county website have recently been 27 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:50,160 updated. They previously only showed 2023 records and do now include the 25 28 00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:54,560 agendas and minutes. I ask that this continue consistently in a timely manner 29 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:58,879 so the public can stay informed. And finally, I request that the board not 30 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:03,120 approve any budget increases for the airport until all of the eight hanger 31 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:06,879 lot leases are brought into full compliance with their contracts. 32 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:12,280 Taxpayers should not be asked to subsidize non-compliant leases. Thank 33 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,280 you. 34 00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:15,319 Yes. 35 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:20,360 » I think all the airport haters should leave. 36 00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:24,239 » Can I respond to that? >> Sure. 37 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,840 » No. >> No. Okay. No problem. 38 00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:30,840 » You have another chance of getting your handies. 39 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,080 » Okay. Good. 40 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:46,000 Wayne Rogers, manager. So, I just may go over. 41 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:50,720 » No. >> Okay. Um, but actually 42 00:03:48,959 --> 00:03:53,680 » you you can give that as a report to the road commission rather than just public 43 00:03:52,799 --> 00:03:55,760 com. >> Can I do that? You want to do it now or 44 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,280 no? >> Yeah. 45 00:03:56,319 --> 00:04:02,959 » Okay. That that would be great. So that was part of this discussion was I want 46 00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:07,120 to um be more 47 00:04:05,519 --> 00:04:12,319 get a better communication between the rogue commission and the county board. 48 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:17,600 So if I if you guys would like a monthly update I want to gladly do that if the 49 00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:19,840 bother I'll do it every so often. However you guys feel 50 00:04:18,799 --> 00:04:20,959 » I think great >> every month. 51 00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:26,960 » Sure. >> And I can do that. Okay. 52 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:31,840 » That was my first thing. Um um I had some discussion with Mr. 53 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:39,759 Kleinheart about some signs and speed limit things. So I brought with me Brent 54 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:45,919 Lynch is our sign shop foreman. He is the um person that's going to be the 55 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:52,160 direct contact for any sign questions, speed limit issues, speed studies, 56 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:58,880 traffic concerns. He's the guy. He um has a cell phone and there's a link that 57 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:03,199 to the front desk and transfer right to his cell phone. He's always able to be 58 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:09,440 tapped in. So, I wanted to introduce him. 59 00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:15,520 That's how we're situated that um it's been a very busy summer as you know. 60 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:21,039 We're still in process of completing the new building. 61 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:26,560 Hopefully that's weeks away from grand opening, but we don't have a solid date 62 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:30,400 as things are final touches are wrapping up. 63 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:38,320 Um, as far as work we've done this year in the county, uh, we've done work in 64 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:43,360 Winterfield on Pine Road. Gravel project we did paving project on Haskell Lake 65 00:05:41,199 --> 00:05:49,919 Road. Haves Township, we paved East Temple Drive, Hamilton Township, we 66 00:05:46,479 --> 00:05:55,360 paved Springwood Lake Road, and we did um the Dodge Lake drain 67 00:05:53,199 --> 00:06:00,560 project with the drain commission on the water control structure. 68 00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:07,759 Um, in Arthur Township, we finished up the brand new bridge full replacement 69 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:12,160 um on Brand Road. In Lincoln Township, we did we just finished a gravel project 70 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:16,080 on Browns Road. We did a gravel project on Lincoln Road. 71 00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:22,560 In Freeman Township, we did a bunch of paving on Monroe, Grass Lake, Ashard, 72 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:28,000 and Large Trail. Then we did townshipwide line striping. 73 00:06:25,919 --> 00:06:33,759 Grant Road we for Grant Township we figured finished the gravel project on 74 00:06:30,479 --> 00:06:38,960 Eberhart road paving of Eerart and Washington scheduled for September 1st 75 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:43,199 2nd 3rd. So that will be complete. We've been replacing all the culverts there 76 00:06:40,639 --> 00:06:47,600 before we put the new pavement on. We got a little bone issue we got to take 77 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:52,880 care of there too. Um we finished paving Tobacco Drive four miles from Beaverton 78 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:57,600 to the Isabella County line. That was a big project for us. 79 00:06:55,440 --> 00:07:04,639 We just finished four miles of Beaverton doing like a um chip seal preparation 80 00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:09,440 that's scheduled to be paved the end of September from Brand to Gladwin County 81 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:15,680 Line. We've been working on Clarin here and 82 00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:21,199 there, but that's part of the DTE solar project thing. Um, 83 00:07:19,199 --> 00:07:25,520 we've done some work with Springwood Lake 84 00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:30,080 Committee with some erosion control issues off the side of one of our roads 85 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:35,199 there. We dealt with the state of emergency spring flooding. Um, that 86 00:07:33,039 --> 00:07:40,639 entailed a lot of culvert replacements, road closures, road flooding, 87 00:07:38,319 --> 00:07:47,120 which led to a bunch more work we have to do down the in the future. Um, 88 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:53,599 we're going to crack seal the airport soon. We did some railroad repairs for 89 00:07:51,199 --> 00:08:00,639 the village of Firewell. We paved Davis Street in Reading 90 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:05,120 and um, we just received a grant from MDOT for next year where we're going to 91 00:08:02,879 --> 00:08:09,599 do a whole bunch of sign new signage. They're going to pay 92 00:08:07,199 --> 00:08:13,039 for it and we're going to do the work under like a force account situation. 93 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:17,199 But we went through the county and a lot of our paved roads where there's a sharp 94 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:21,840 curve and you have that like one generic directional arrow. We'll chevron around 95 00:08:19,759 --> 00:08:26,319 all those curves and it's just for a safety grant. 96 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:31,199 Um on top of all that, we've done township brinding. We did brining for 97 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:35,599 Grant and Hamilton this year out of our own services. The other ones we played 98 00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:39,360 ahead of time. So we've we've been on top of all that. Like this week we've 99 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:45,360 got three townships brinding. So, it's always a busy week to get ready for that 100 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:51,040 on top of all the sign replacements, trees down, emergency stuff we always 101 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:56,480 take care of. So, that's kind of a lot, but that's a update in a nutshell. 102 00:08:54,480 --> 00:09:02,240 Continuing. We're working on Forest Road right now in Franklin Township. We're 103 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:07,519 starting uh um Adams Road for Grant Township at the Hen Township line. 104 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:14,640 And like I said, we have the paving stuff coming out in working on a box 105 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:19,519 color project for strawberry. That's kind of an update communication 106 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:23,760 wise. Um there was some happenings this summer 107 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:27,440 that I don't weren't totally communicated. So I want to be 108 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:33,600 transparent with the board. The Warner building behind the road 109 00:09:29,839 --> 00:09:38,800 Mission property came for sale. It's that's been in the uh Warner 110 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:42,880 family, I believe, for a very long time. They're a big 111 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:47,120 supporter of the community, I believe. They've been part of the community. It 112 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:53,040 felt like a once in a-lifetime opportunity to possibly expand the road 113 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:58,399 commission's footprint and prepare the road commission for the future. 114 00:09:56,399 --> 00:10:05,120 When I say future, it's probably well beyond my time here. could be 40 years 115 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:09,040 from now, but at least Clair County Road Commission is 116 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:15,040 prepared. Or if another salt bar ever needed to 117 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:21,040 accommodate a higher traffic volume or more sheds to store equipment, whatever 118 00:10:17,839 --> 00:10:28,000 the need may be, when I'm long gone, hopefully it's available. So the road 119 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:33,279 commission did purchase 28 acres with the Warner building. We 120 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:40,000 did not want the Warner building, but he would not separate that for the sale. 121 00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:46,160 So the whole 28 acres plus the building was purchased. 122 00:10:43,279 --> 00:10:54,000 Part of the purchase was made with road commission budget money. um our just out 123 00:10:50,959 --> 00:10:58,959 of our general fund money and then the other part was purchased with bond 124 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:03,440 money. The plan is, and it's already in the 125 00:11:01,279 --> 00:11:10,560 works, is to split off the building with 6 acres and sell that and then keep 22 126 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:15,440 acres that ties onto the south end of our current property. And whatever 127 00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:21,600 happen, whatever the plan is in the future for that, it's there. Um, 128 00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:26,160 currently, Warner is leasing the building. 129 00:11:23,279 --> 00:11:31,360 He did not want to displace his current employees that are there. So there has 130 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:38,959 been an agreed lease with him to keep the employees there. So it's business as 131 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:43,040 usual for them. We just own it and the intent is to still sell it and that 132 00:11:41,279 --> 00:11:50,079 lease will go with the new owner of the building. So that's the future goal. Um 133 00:11:47,839 --> 00:11:56,399 there was a lot of work to be done to make that happen, but all everything 134 00:11:52,480 --> 00:12:01,440 legalitywise was checked. Um tees were crossed, eyes were dotted to make sure 135 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:06,639 all everything was legitimate in what we were doing. So 136 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:10,720 communication wise, I never really said anything because it actually happened 137 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:16,720 extremely fast. Believe it or not, there was obviously my board was having 138 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:21,040 discussions in our public meetings, but there was no reality because there 139 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:25,200 was negotiating. He he wasn't gonna sell, then he was. 140 00:12:23,279 --> 00:12:29,600 Then someone else was gonna buy it. Then they didn't. Then it was like then it 141 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:36,160 went quiet for like four months. And then literally it was like he accepted 142 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:40,639 your deal and within a week papers were signed. We had to have like a special 143 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:45,600 board meeting and all that stuff happened very quickly. In the meantime, 144 00:12:43,519 --> 00:12:50,399 it was like in between you guys' meetings. So I didn't like have that 145 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:56,959 update. but or kind of fill you in on what was going on. So, 146 00:12:53,760 --> 00:13:01,440 that is where the road commission sits. Um, 147 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:08,959 I'm excited for the new building and I think the county is going to have an 148 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:15,200 amazing road commission for a lot of years. Things keep going. 149 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:19,800 We work our butts off. But I hope that's that's 150 00:13:30,639 --> 00:13:34,680 anyone else who had public comment. 151 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:40,959 » Okay. Um 152 00:13:38,639 --> 00:13:45,600 we're prepared for mutual administrator report. 153 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:49,680 We don't have any legislative updates at this time. Um, 154 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:53,040 just a few things. The Heartband materials management groups, we 155 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:58,480 completed the work on our materials management plan. Rick, Keith, and I have 156 00:13:56,639 --> 00:14:02,000 worked closely with the planning group and the consultant throughout this 157 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:05,600 process, identifying Clare County goals and 158 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:10,480 objectives, and compiling a significant amount of information needed to develop 159 00:14:07,519 --> 00:14:15,440 this. We completed our final work with the consultant this week. Um it's been a 160 00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:19,600 considerable undertaking involving data collection, review of the existing 161 00:14:16,959 --> 00:14:22,959 services, infrastructure, identification of future needs and development of goals 162 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:28,560 and action items for the council. This is the 10 10ear plan. 163 00:14:26,639 --> 00:14:34,399 The completed materials management plan will be brought before the board at the 164 00:14:30,639 --> 00:14:39,440 September meeting for approval. It is on the agenda for the approval for approval 165 00:14:37,279 --> 00:14:43,199 at the Hartman meeting which is going to be this Friday. 166 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:46,880 The county's fiscal year is ending September 30th. I've been spending a 167 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:51,519 significant amount of time working on year end budget revisions and 168 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:57,279 projections while continuing to finalize the seven budget. It's always a busy 169 00:14:54,639 --> 00:15:02,000 time of year and we work close we work to close out the current fiscal year 170 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:06,800 while preparing road maps. I'm available to meet with any commissioner who has 171 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:10,880 questions regarding the proposed budget. I think I put that out there a few 172 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:16,480 times. I encourage you to contact me if you would like to review any department 173 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:20,000 bond or budget in greater detail. We will need to schedule a special 174 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:26,000 meeting of the board of commissioners for September 2nd to complete any final 175 00:15:23,279 --> 00:15:32,399 budget discussions and address any changes. We need to have the 27 budget 176 00:15:29,839 --> 00:15:37,199 substantially finalized at that meeting so that we can complete the required 177 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:43,279 publication, make the proposed budget available to the public for the required 178 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:48,480 period prior to the public hearing.

It will begin September 7th. It's required a significant amount of 182 00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:05,519 work due to the expiration of a previous two-year health insurance arrangement 183 00:16:03,839 --> 00:16:10,560 and the competitive bidding process undertaken to obtain the best 184 00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:13,839 combination of coverage and cost.

The annual occurrence give an update for 203 00:17:51,520 --> 00:18:00,799 community mental health for central Michigan. We are a six town mental 204 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:06,720 health board across Michigan. um which are established as a developmental 205 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:14,400 authority provided to uh Mitch's counties. In addition to Clair counties, 206 00:18:09,919 --> 00:18:19,840 we have Gladlin, Isabella, Masta, Midland, and Ocola counties that we that 207 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:25,520 we cover. We'd like to thank Commissioner Gilmore for his membership 208 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:30,880 and participation from the directors. We also have a community member, Joseph 209 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:39,919 Phillips, who serves on our board. Our makeup of the board is 14 members. Uh, 210 00:18:35,679 --> 00:18:46,240 and we have two uh members for each county, 211 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:50,720 Vivan, and three members each. We provide a wide array of 212 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:56,000 evidence-based practices and treatment to individuals 213 00:18:54,000 --> 00:19:02,000 with intellectual and developmental disabilities, adults with serious and 214 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:06,960 persistent mental illness, and children with serious emotional disturbance. Our 215 00:19:05,039 --> 00:19:12,880 vision is communities where all individuals experience healthy and 216 00:19:09,679 --> 00:19:18,240 meaningful lives. again through uh community participation, inclusion, 217 00:19:15,919 --> 00:19:22,559 uh through the comprehensive integrated supports and services and Sarah will be 218 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:29,600 able to talk a bit more about some of the services that do occur particularly 219 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:35,520 here in the county. Last year, our organization served uh 220 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:42,080 just over 10,000 individuals again across the six counties. At any point in 221 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:48,640 time, we're serving about 5,000 people. And the annual report that you have uh 222 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:54,720 on page 16 or so has data about the numbers of individuals served. 223 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:59,919 About 1,500 people receive services in Click County. 224 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:07,840 Across our six counties, CH funding supports over 2,000 jobs. Uh we directly 225 00:20:03,919 --> 00:20:13,120 employ about 450 staff. Uh and then the remainder are staff who are working for 226 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:19,280 contracted provider organizations. And these are individuals who are uh working 227 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:25,039 to help a person with activities of daily living uh in adult foster care 228 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:31,600 settings that are licensed or also uh just in their own individual independent 229 00:20:27,919 --> 00:20:37,760 settings. they do own a home or uh have an apartment but they need support on a 230 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:43,000 daily basis and regarding supporting the care staff that are providing that care. 231 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:51,919 We are accredited by the joint commission that's a national accrediting 232 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:58,880 body we have been for going on 30 years. Uh next month we are expecting to have 233 00:20:55,440 --> 00:21:04,240 our onsite survey the three-year cycle for those surveys to happen. And so this 234 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:07,679 September we will have that. So we're we're in the middle of preparing for 235 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:12,880 that. Our um budget uh for the fiscal year 236 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:22,080 that we're in right now that will be ending of September is $154 million. 237 00:21:18,559 --> 00:21:28,559 uh allocated in Clare County with $16.2 million. Most of that is funded by 238 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:33,120 Medicaid. It's about 92% of our dollars uh come from Medicaid 239 00:21:31,039 --> 00:21:39,760 source of tunes. Fair County uh contributes $139,000 240 00:21:37,039 --> 00:21:49,679 to our budget. Uh and that's been a consistent uh amount for uh well since 241 00:21:43,679 --> 00:21:49,679 1997 when those uh the authority status 242 00:21:49,919 --> 00:21:58,799 I wanted to give a brief update. Uh last year around this time we were working 243 00:21:54,720 --> 00:22:06,159 through uh what we called the PIHP the prepaid inpatient health plan request 244 00:22:01,679 --> 00:22:13,039 for proposal that the state put forward. that request for proposal had uh 245 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:17,559 opposition to it and I appreciate this board adopting a res 246 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:26,720 and through a lawsuit court of claims hearing the request for proposal as 247 00:22:23,919 --> 00:22:33,360 written was deemed to be in conflict with the Michigan's mental health code 248 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:38,880 and the court called the state to either revise that or resend that do something 249 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:43,679 different. But what was submitted as a request for proposal was not allowed to 250 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:49,120 go through. The state subsequently did resend the request for proposal which 251 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:56,320 was good news and yet they did end it there. There is 252 00:22:53,280 --> 00:23:01,280 the expectation that a new request for a proposal will be coming out. believe 253 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:05,360 currently on the Department of Technology Management Luggage website 254 00:23:03,679 --> 00:23:10,799 where they have their procurement projects, there's uh PIP procurement 255 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:16,080 listed as one of those projects and it had a date of August of 2026 for a 256 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:20,799 release date. Obviously, we're getting towards the end of the month and rumors 257 00:23:18,559 --> 00:23:27,120 are that it's it won't be ready to come out in August, but perhaps. So, we're 258 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:33,600 we're watching that and certainly will be carefully reviewed to see that it is 259 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:39,280 in fact not the same but different substantially from what the request did 260 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:43,679 prior. The court's ruling really all the central function of community mental 261 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:49,360 health services programs across the state to both directly provide services 262 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:54,000 and contract out for services to fulfill their state candidate obligation to care 263 00:23:51,520 --> 00:24:03,240 for our vulnerable citizens. And so we're expecting that any new RFP will be 264 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:03,240 reflected above that uh that rule. 265 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:13,520 I will now turn over to Sarah. But I would like to thank all of you for their 266 00:24:09,679 --> 00:24:19,760 service and your participation or the better county and those that we served. 267 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:23,440 We really appreciate your support. >> Good morning everyone. Thanks for having 268 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:28,240 us. I'm Sarah Msali Swanson. I'm the chief clinical officer here at this 269 00:24:25,919 --> 00:24:32,159 county office. And echo what Brian says. I want to thank you all for your ongoing 270 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:35,840 support and the support that you provide us allows us to continue to do the work 271 00:24:33,919 --> 00:24:41,919 to help most vulnerable members of our community really grow and learn and heal 272 00:24:38,799 --> 00:24:45,840 and it's a really amazing job. Um in Clare County we are currently serving 273 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:50,960 approximately 700 children and adults who meet our priority and definitions. 274 00:24:48,799 --> 00:24:54,960 The largest population that we serve are adults with severe and persistent mental 275 00:24:52,799 --> 00:24:58,960 illness. And then the second largest today will be children who are 276 00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:02,320 classified as having severe emotional disturbance. 277 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:06,080 I could spend hours talking your ears off about the services that we provide, 278 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:10,960 but in the interest of time, I just want to highlight a few of the partnerships 279 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:14,159 that we have that help the community. Um, we continue to be really proud of 280 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:19,520 our partnerships in the fire county jail. Since October 1st, our jail staff 281 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:23,120 has provided support to 70 employees. This can include emergency screenings 282 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:28,320 for mental health crises and then ongoing supports for resources. Um this 283 00:25:26,559 --> 00:25:34,080 year we continue to provide what's called thinking matters groups. Thinking 284 00:25:30,799 --> 00:25:37,679 matters to identify is an evidence-based cognitive behavioral curriculum used in 285 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:41,679 jails to help inmates identify and change destructive thought patterns that 286 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:45,360 lead to parental activity. Participants in the group are taught how to replace 287 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:49,520 antisocial attitudes with pro-social decisions. 288 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:52,559 I'll be good feedback from inmates who participate in the group on how it's 289 00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:56,880 helped them think about the things that they've done differently and how they 290 00:25:53,919 --> 00:25:59,919 can move forward in this way. I am super excited to announce that in early 291 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:04,480 September, we're going to begin offering a nurturing parenting program 292 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:08,960 facilitated by our jail staff and our supervisor who's a trained trainer and 293 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:12,240 nurturing parenting to jail inmates. Um to reduce the time that it takes to 294 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:16,000 complete, our supervisor has selected six sessions that highlight the impact 295 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:20,159 that substance use has on the parent child relationship and teaches 296 00:26:17,919 --> 00:26:23,600 strategies currently repairs and that parent child relationship. Participants 297 00:26:22,159 --> 00:26:28,799 who complete the group or provide a certification. We've already piloted 298 00:26:26,159 --> 00:26:32,720 this in fellow county jails and have received really phenomenal feedback from 299 00:26:30,799 --> 00:26:37,360 inmates about how helpful the group has been and helping them think about their 300 00:26:35,919 --> 00:26:43,840 parenting differently and to start talking about the changes they want to 301 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:48,720 make and how they parent less so um we continue to work in collaboration 302 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:52,400 with the cloud and rd and also directly schools between these two contracts we 303 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:57,440 provide Harrison and Farwell schools with five CHCM meal health professionals 304 00:26:55,200 --> 00:27:01,039 who are assigned and buildings across school districts. Uh this collaborative 305 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:05,200 also continues to support a school-based mental health supervisor. Holly Nash who 306 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:09,279 fills this role not only supervises the mental health professionals employed by 307 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:15,039 CFHC but she also provides ongoing clinical supervision for any mental 308 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:20,720 health staff that try to file school. Holly and the RSV were actually invited 309 00:27:17,279 --> 00:27:25,039 to speak at the 2025 CH board conference as an example of how schools and CHS can 310 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:31,360 collaborate and work together to services to um this work well this past 311 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:35,440 school year not this month but that school year um Holly is very proud of 312 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:39,440 work to develop what's called parapro network this was piloted at Larson 313 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:43,679 Elementary as an approach to training and supporting para professionals um as 314 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,880 they looked at the structure of our school systems I noticed that the 315 00:27:45,039 --> 00:27:50,640 professionals who spend the most time was a lot of our most vulnerable kids 316 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:54,240 get the least amount of training and support. This often can lead to an 317 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:57,679 increase in behavioral situations between professionals and the use of 318 00:27:55,600 --> 00:28:01,440 their youth they are working. Due to this, they put together a curriculum 319 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:08,159 based in dialective behavior therapy skills to assist in giving the gosh the 320 00:28:05,120 --> 00:28:12,159 paraprofessional tools to not only help to teach and reinforce for the youth but 321 00:28:10,159 --> 00:28:16,720 also to be able to use in their own times of disregulation to help them 322 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:20,799 more. It also created a networking opportunity for par professionals to get 323 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:25,520 solution focused consultations to difficult situations and there's a lot 324 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:29,760 of really good about how much help in those 325 00:28:27,039 --> 00:28:34,960 Uh during the last year, our CNHDM schoolbased therapy served approximately 326 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:38,080 170 different children and most this is just a count of those that 327 00:28:36,399 --> 00:28:41,760 basically were ongoing mental health support and doesn't include kids that 328 00:28:40,159 --> 00:28:47,120 might pop in because they're having a bad day or in a moment of I like to 329 00:28:44,799 --> 00:28:52,799 highlight that that's 170 kids that are not enrolled in CHDM services that have 330 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:56,080 mental health students. um breaking silos to ensure we're 331 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:59,760 working together with community partners as a collaborative in a collaborative 332 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:04,159 way is something we really focused hard to maintain and improve. Um we focus on 333 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:07,679 our partnership in DHS which includes monthly meetings with supervisors to 334 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:11,840 ensure collaborating in the best way possible. We participate as part of a 335 00:29:09,919 --> 00:29:16,640 multid-disciplinary team through Michigan alliance for children our child 336 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:20,720 advocacy center. Um in there not only can we make relationships with our MDT 337 00:29:18,799 --> 00:29:25,200 partners but we can also it provides us opportunity to provide trauma education 338 00:29:22,799 --> 00:29:29,360 and advocacy. Um at the end of fiscal year 25 our 339 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:32,399 pilot of our family stabilization program for children and families 340 00:29:30,799 --> 00:29:36,640 experiencing any sort of mental health or behavioral crisis reached the end of 341 00:29:34,399 --> 00:29:40,320 its grant funding.

Uh so this month 459 00:40:00,240 --> 00:40:08,480 the uh LAPC uh local emergency planning commission uh discussed the uh fiscal 460 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:15,119 year 25 grant and the upcoming fiscal year 26 grant uh with the shifting 461 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:20,960 tensions and stuff in the state and federal governments. Uh when it comes to 462 00:40:17,839 --> 00:40:25,680 fiscal sub those two grant years are going to be in a rapid succession. Uh 463 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:34,240 there have been significant delays in the fiscal year 24 grant cycle. Uh just 464 00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:39,040 for your awareness the grant cycles go uh 20 years 465 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:46,640 uh after what we are typically because we are currently in 206 but the years of 466 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:52,400 the grants for the DHS can be three years behind. Uh we discussed the 467 00:40:49,599 --> 00:40:57,599 potential of getting trauma kits for our local police departments and fire 468 00:40:54,960 --> 00:41:03,119 departments. These kits help stabilization before ambulance or AMS 469 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:08,480 can arrive. Uh for the 911 board, they discussed the 470 00:41:05,839 --> 00:41:14,079 radio consoles. They having some issues with calls coming in and out uh towards 471 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:19,440 the end of receivers. Uh they swapped it to internet connection and it helped to 472 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:26,400 a little bit. Uh they also discussed the remnants server. Uh the chairman of that 473 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:31,920 board is going to be giving a letter for the board's proposal and acceptance. Uh 474 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:37,920 for cross township there has been a change to the board. The treasurer has 475 00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:43,440 stepped down and new treasurer has stepped in place and a new trustee has 476 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:49,599 filled the trustee position. Uh they also had a couple months of discussion 477 00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:56,000 with the transfer station for Cross Township and they have accepted a 478 00:41:53,119 --> 00:42:01,920 contract with waste management to do the empty bed that container. 479 00:41:59,839 --> 00:42:07,760 They also replaced member on the long lake board for the late approvement. 480 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:11,599 Uh Summerville Township is going to be holding a community cleanup in 481 00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:16,319 September. They are also in the process of moving their website to a bus site 482 00:42:14,319 --> 00:42:18,720 that need all I have. 483 00:42:17,359 --> 00:42:21,720 » Thank you, >> J. 484 00:42:21,839 --> 00:42:31,839 I attended the MAC meeting in Bos County and there was a presentation by Shabboen 485 00:42:30,240 --> 00:42:38,720 County by Jeff Lawson about countyw 486 00:42:35,599 --> 00:42:45,520 and about the benefits of it from their point of view. and uh he said 487 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:53,280 about 20 counties in Michigan had some form of countywide zoning and planning 488 00:42:49,359 --> 00:43:00,800 their countywide planning commissions. Uh they also reported on the state 489 00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:09,760 budget which uh was kind of a whirlwind at last and they passed it on. Uh there 490 00:43:06,319 --> 00:43:15,119 was some damn safety regulations and some things. They said they broke away 491 00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:21,920 from the from the budget hearings to present some bills that some of the 492 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:29,599 legislators wanted to get in. They talked about the dam safety and new 493 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:35,119 regulations that becoming true to all of us 494 00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:39,359 that have dams in the county. Um 495 00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:45,599 the big thing was when we talk about the budget, they said that next year is 496 00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:50,560 going to be very critical for Michigan. They think they're going to have to cut 497 00:43:47,359 --> 00:43:55,920 between one to$2 billion dollar state budget. 498 00:43:52,079 --> 00:44:02,640 And when I asked, they said because of federal money that's not coming in, lack 499 00:43:59,119 --> 00:44:08,000 of revenue, all it's dumbing. And they said, "Well, which combination of 500 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:15,440 everything?" The federal money, there's been significant cuts of money coming 501 00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:21,680 into Michigan government, plus the regular revenue that comes in through 502 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:28,319 state taxes and things, sales tax, and things are going to be 503 00:44:24,079 --> 00:44:34,560 lower. They said the biggest effect on us more than likely will be revenue 504 00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:40,800 sharing and they expect significant cuts in our revenue sharing which the 505 00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:47,760 townships I think have reform revenue sharing coming in. They'll probably be 506 00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:54,079 safer than what the county got. Oh, and for the road commission people, 507 00:44:50,880 --> 00:45:00,400 they talked about the so-called weed tax, you know, the marijuana tax, and 508 00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:06,560 they don't understand why that's being held up. And I guess there's lawsuits 509 00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:13,520 and things involved on that. You know, at the time when they pass the increase 510 00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:21,680 taxes on the marijuana, it just seems the reason that that there would be lack 511 00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:28,000 of people buying legal marijuana, don't you think? And so they're pushing it a 512 00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:32,720 little bit back underground. Well, we'll see 513 00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:39,680 when the courts finally decide what they're going to do with that road 514 00:45:34,240 --> 00:45:45,119 condition getting some extra money.
