1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,920
I mean, get this going.

2
00:00:03,250 --> 00:00:08,530
Okay. All right, you're ready? Yes. All right. We're going to call our Southwest

3
00:00:08,530 --> 00:00:17,770
Behavioral Health Authority Board meeting to order today on March 11, 2026. I guess I'm in charge today.

4
00:00:17,950 --> 00:00:24,570
Victor, your aye, your sentence will excuse him and also excuse all cousins as well. Welcome,

5
00:00:24,610 --> 00:00:29,870
everybody else. First thing on the agenda is going to prove the minutes of January.

6
00:00:29,870 --> 00:00:31,830
I'm sorry, there's any questions or disturbances?

7
00:00:31,990 --> 00:00:32,290
No, no.

8
00:00:32,990 --> 00:00:33,910
In your can of motion.

9
00:00:35,030 --> 00:00:37,570
How make a motion to approve the January minute

10
00:00:37,570 --> 00:00:38,450
since presented?

11
00:00:39,290 --> 00:00:40,410
OK, I'll second.

12
00:00:41,230 --> 00:00:43,270
See this is only you two here today to do that.

13
00:00:43,390 --> 00:00:45,190
I guess that's basically what you take part in, right?

14
00:00:45,530 --> 00:00:47,230
Just take a turn to that for all of the labor.

15
00:00:47,590 --> 00:00:47,770
Hi.

16
00:00:48,550 --> 00:00:49,390
Thank you, Davis.

17
00:00:49,810 --> 00:00:54,030
I guess I felt a mention you're with us today as a visitor

18
00:00:54,030 --> 00:00:57,930
or are we just going to do a clinical report?

19
00:00:58,350 --> 00:00:59,230
Oh, down the bottom.

20
00:00:59,230 --> 00:01:03,810
Okay, we'll miss it. I work for Southwest. I'm a prevention supervisor for iron giver

21
00:01:05,870 --> 00:01:06,430
Yeah

22
00:01:08,210 --> 00:01:16,090
Yeah, is that your son? Oh, yeah, okay, that's why you're also recognized. That's not really why you really recognize me from

23
00:01:16,090 --> 00:01:19,350
Okay, he's got a new job. Still the yes

24
00:01:20,990 --> 00:01:27,110
All right, Mike your next I guess by month or the operation before yes

25
00:01:27,110 --> 00:01:35,110
The first piece on the agenda is our new hires and separations.

26
00:01:35,310 --> 00:01:38,990
We didn't have none of these are terminations or fires.

27
00:01:39,390 --> 00:01:42,130
And it's actually a pretty low number for us.

28
00:01:43,270 --> 00:01:46,190
One that we are super excited,

29
00:01:46,250 --> 00:01:48,250
that's a little difficult to feel sometimes,

30
00:01:48,250 --> 00:01:49,850
is our SMR clinicians,

31
00:01:50,810 --> 00:01:52,710
our previous SMR clinician,

32
00:01:52,710 --> 00:02:00,410
position, move back east, this is from New York and so it's a position that's kind of a niche

33
00:02:00,410 --> 00:02:06,250
there, it's a position you can actually just got an experience and crisis, it's worked

34
00:02:06,250 --> 00:02:12,650
in the emergency room for a while at a hospital and we're super excited about it.

35
00:02:16,630 --> 00:02:31,590
What's SMR, SMR is stabilization, mobile response, what it basically is is if they run

36
00:02:31,950 --> 00:02:41,250
in conjunction with the MCOT team, climate, MCOT team will go out to a crisis and it involves

37
00:02:41,250 --> 00:02:48,830
the use of the family then we have the SMR program which their mission is to

38
00:02:48,830 --> 00:02:57,010
then come in and generally speaking it's like four to eight weeks they spend

39
00:02:57,010 --> 00:03:02,750
with the family with the intent of stabilizing basically the family system

40
00:03:02,750 --> 00:03:09,850
because the family system is maybe dysregulated to a point where regular treatment

41
00:03:09,850 --> 00:03:15,390
therapy and things of that nature is an effective so that's their role is to

42
00:03:15,390 --> 00:03:21,470
try and stabilize that and they go to the home so there's no requirements that

43
00:03:21,470 --> 00:03:26,590
come to the office or tell you how they're doing anything of that nature that's

44
00:03:26,590 --> 00:03:32,550
what this is. Bring in function to the dysfunction. That's a difficult

45
00:03:32,550 --> 00:03:33,570
There's no key filter.

46
00:03:35,370 --> 00:03:37,550
Generally, it's not too difficult.

47
00:03:37,850 --> 00:03:40,170
It's a little tricky to find someone.

48
00:03:40,870 --> 00:03:44,410
Because it's not they have one.

49
00:03:44,850 --> 00:03:48,130
One thing, they do have a lot of autonomy.

50
00:03:49,370 --> 00:03:51,450
Like, they can come in at 11,

51
00:03:51,710 --> 00:03:53,110
because they may work at 8.

52
00:03:53,670 --> 00:03:55,610
They just got a lot of autonomy,

53
00:03:55,730 --> 00:03:57,410
and they have a big struggle a lot.

54
00:03:57,930 --> 00:04:00,110
Because that therapist covered all five counties.

55
00:04:00,110 --> 00:04:04,270
And then, and then they said, they go,

56
00:04:07,110 --> 00:04:12,010
and assess and work with basically the family system.

57
00:04:12,210 --> 00:04:13,850
It's kind of their big target.

58
00:04:14,550 --> 00:04:17,570
And they look at not only just family system dynamics

59
00:04:17,570 --> 00:04:19,650
and things of that major, but resources.

60
00:04:20,210 --> 00:04:22,850
And because we do have, and we ended up

61
00:04:22,850 --> 00:04:28,070
getting a grant from an amount of help to help with resources

62
00:04:28,070 --> 00:04:33,710
like we have that money, we have the ability to help people with land, food, transportation,

63
00:04:34,150 --> 00:04:41,150
needs of that nature that may impede them to receive the services that are needed.

64
00:04:42,530 --> 00:04:49,490
Generally, the piece that brings in the SNR team isn't and called call.

65
00:04:50,130 --> 00:04:51,210
However, that's not required.

66
00:04:58,710 --> 00:05:02,030
Do you need to prove on that, is that your policy report?

67
00:05:02,490 --> 00:05:03,570
Yeah, do you?

68
00:05:03,570 --> 00:05:04,890
Yeah, do you prove it on that?

69
00:05:04,970 --> 00:05:06,010
I prove them individually?

70
00:05:06,390 --> 00:05:06,530
Yeah.

71
00:05:07,010 --> 00:05:07,870
I'm mostly doing it through.

72
00:05:08,310 --> 00:05:08,670
Second.

73
00:05:09,390 --> 00:05:10,090
Oh, favorite?

74
00:05:10,650 --> 00:05:10,910
I.

75
00:05:11,450 --> 00:05:11,830
Thanks, you too.

76
00:05:12,090 --> 00:05:13,110
So I put the data in hand.

77
00:05:14,790 --> 00:05:15,330
All right.

78
00:05:15,470 --> 00:05:16,070
My answer report.

79
00:05:16,210 --> 00:05:16,870
My mouth, the hand.

80
00:05:16,950 --> 00:05:17,430
I should work.

81
00:05:20,850 --> 00:05:24,690
Guys, the major expenses, some of the big items,

82
00:05:24,690 --> 00:05:34,710
items, this John Henry Smith insurance, that's our liability insurance. That's an annual payment, so this is one and done.

83
00:05:37,690 --> 00:05:42,590
That is a big amount, yes, for liability insurance and property.

84
00:05:44,730 --> 00:05:49,690
Honestly, it doesn't feel like that much considering the...

85
00:05:49,690 --> 00:05:54,310
So if we ever used it though, I mean, over the years we use it a lot.

86
00:05:55,190 --> 00:06:00,770
We have, that I know, I don't think we have used it, that would be a question you've probably

87
00:06:00,770 --> 00:06:06,910
used. I think we're required to have it. So we've got, it's one of those things you can't

88
00:06:06,910 --> 00:06:11,290
get rid of even if you don't use it, but I don't think it's been used very often, but when we

89
00:06:11,290 --> 00:06:14,810
needed, we really needed. Is that my relation to all the providers?

90
00:06:14,810 --> 00:06:20,230
Yes, I think it includes, it's really necessary, I mean you got to have.

91
00:06:21,430 --> 00:06:28,850
And sometimes from my understanding of liability insurance with mental health, the bigger

92
00:06:28,850 --> 00:06:33,690
the agency, of course the higher the number is going to go within and kind of progresses

93
00:06:33,690 --> 00:06:39,570
on how high the number is versus like a single therapist in private practice.

94
00:06:58,300 --> 00:07:03,080
Is there any, is there any questions on page one or two?

95
00:07:03,100 --> 00:07:03,340
No.

96
00:07:04,940 --> 00:07:06,160
How was the cat 10?

97
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:07,800
We had a good trip.

98
00:07:08,220 --> 00:07:10,860
We actually said it's probably one of our better trips.

99
00:07:11,980 --> 00:07:13,600
Good meetings with representatives.

100
00:07:14,460 --> 00:07:15,600
I just saw her on the list.

101
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:16,620
Yeah, I know.

102
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:17,040
I saw that.

103
00:07:18,420 --> 00:07:22,140
Well, at first, when it said show them a reimbursement for cat, I'm like, wait a minute,

104
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:23,780
we didn't reimburse her that much.

105
00:07:23,860 --> 00:07:29,920
But then I got thinking about the podium and how we do with the car.

106
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:35,460
And then we just pay for the kids and put it all on one car instead of just have trouble

107
00:07:35,460 --> 00:07:39,300
in the past where you give the kids a car that's got $500 on it.

108
00:07:39,540 --> 00:07:44,040
They either donate and think I'm going to save it and buy someone I get home or they blow

109
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:48,040
through their money in like three days and then you're like I'm sorry you're

110
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:53,340
going to have to start yeah we just it's better it works that well because when

111
00:07:53,340 --> 00:07:57,460
you go to a restaurant they don't want to do you know 18 separate checks and

112
00:07:57,460 --> 00:08:01,700
so we just put it all on one and tell them how much you have and you know so that's

113
00:08:01,700 --> 00:08:05,440
why but for a minute I'm like what I think that's wrong but then I realize what it was

114
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,980
for so yeah then

115
00:08:10,890 --> 00:08:14,490
another item to highlight is this one the biggest behavioral

116
00:08:14,490 --> 00:08:20,890
health that's for dental insurance because it's a UVic plant so we pay Davis and

117
00:08:20,890 --> 00:08:24,650
all of the authorities in the state pay Davis, the behavioral health and then

118
00:08:24,650 --> 00:08:30,010
Davis pays the plant. And so that's it that's just for one month and

119
00:08:33,210 --> 00:08:33,350
the

120
00:08:33,350 --> 00:08:37,850
200,000 for liability is an annual. Then

121
00:08:41,300 --> 00:08:44,180
one last one to highlight the Washington

122
00:08:44,180 --> 00:08:48,660
County Court of Support Services that's passed through dollars.

123
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:53,680
Any other

124
00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:58,720
Any other questions on pay, want, to please?

125
00:09:00,500 --> 00:09:07,240
I'll see dental insurance cost as much per year as liability that's more than I thought

126
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:08,040
that was going to be.

127
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,080
Pay, don't ask any other questions from Mike at all and I'll entertain a motion to approve

128
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,040
the financial report.

129
00:09:15,420 --> 00:09:20,220
Chair, I move that we approve the bi-monthly financial report.

130
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:21,720
Second.

131
00:09:22,860 --> 00:09:23,340
All fair?

132
00:09:23,740 --> 00:09:23,960
Aye.

133
00:09:37,900 --> 00:09:41,720
Yeah, we're actually still in operations.

134
00:09:41,980 --> 00:09:42,460
Oh, you are.

135
00:09:42,740 --> 00:09:42,980
Yeah.

136
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:43,960
Oh, sorry.

137
00:09:44,300 --> 00:09:45,120
Yeah, that's all right.

138
00:09:45,540 --> 00:09:51,500
Well, if anything really alarming happens, we'll re-send our vote or take a revenge.

139
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:52,420
Okay.

140
00:09:52,420 --> 00:09:55,940
If we don't approve of what you're about to present.

141
00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:00,020
I thought they were approved individually.

142
00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:07,840
But so now I'm sure we've been approved these independently the rest of them.

143
00:10:08,100 --> 00:10:11,140
Okay, but we could have disperse.

144
00:10:12,180 --> 00:10:12,920
A couple of reasons.

145
00:10:13,540 --> 00:10:18,840
Yeah, the way I was tracking this, I believe we're stealing the operations report.

146
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:31,420
But here's the risk management report, a couple of things to highlight on the client behavior.

147
00:10:32,340 --> 00:10:39,180
One of those at Mountain View was a client who was picked up by the Cedar City PD for

148
00:10:39,180 --> 00:10:46,420
asking people in the neighborhood for a gun, and the client had brought back Mountain View

149
00:10:46,420 --> 00:10:49,220
and the client had been decompensating,

150
00:10:49,460 --> 00:10:51,180
and then accelerated at these point in the state

151
00:10:51,180 --> 00:10:56,300
to pretty quick, however, we had the client stabilized

152
00:10:56,300 --> 00:11:00,540
and the psychosis is not an issue as of right now.

153
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,220
That was one we needed to bring up.

154
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,380
Another one is at Desert Haven.

155
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,760
That's our residential substance use treatment

156
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,680
in St. George for pregnant.

157
00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:18,340
and four mothers with children.

158
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,860
And we had a client that was very confrontational

159
00:11:21,860 --> 00:11:24,480
and aggressive and we had to call the police,

160
00:11:24,980 --> 00:11:27,960
which used to remain staffed with her knife.

161
00:11:28,620 --> 00:11:30,500
And that person ended up going to jail.

162
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,900
And then on the outpatient medication pass,

163
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:37,800
because there's some clients we go around

164
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,080
and give them medications.

165
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,260
We have what's called the MedPass.

166
00:11:42,380 --> 00:11:45,020
And this one, the client had to go to the ER.

167
00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:49,560
because the raw medications was given to the client.

168
00:11:50,500 --> 00:11:52,140
And that is something we take very serious,

169
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,280
but we thought we needed to make sure

170
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,700
that you were aware of that.

171
00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:00,660
And of course, raw medications is an automatic write-up

172
00:12:00,660 --> 00:12:02,300
or a corrective action plan.

173
00:12:03,100 --> 00:12:05,560
Give it some that we just can't have.

174
00:12:05,740 --> 00:12:10,060
And this client is, say, volatile enough.

175
00:12:10,620 --> 00:12:13,760
Sometimes we had her go to the ER

176
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:18,620
or to be observed to make sure that everything was okay and everything ended up being fine.

177
00:12:20,220 --> 00:12:27,300
The other, we have two other client deaths, both of which were deaths by suicide.

178
00:12:27,820 --> 00:12:35,980
One of them, after doing a review because anytime we have a client that dies by suicide, we

179
00:12:35,980 --> 00:12:41,900
We do a review of this case along with program managers.

180
00:12:43,060 --> 00:12:46,540
We have Bill, our licensing admin.

181
00:12:47,020 --> 00:12:49,840
He does a review as well.

182
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:57,900
When we reviewed the case, the one was they disconnected from services and the person

183
00:12:57,900 --> 00:13:02,420
was at high risk and we tried to connect with them and did outreach.

184
00:13:02,420 --> 00:13:10,540
We went by the house, did well checks, I feel really good that we did everything that we can on that one of course we always looked back and

185
00:13:10,540 --> 00:13:14,840
could we need to go look up a couple more times or something like that.

186
00:13:15,900 --> 00:13:26,280
The other one was in services and the person was connected with services and then disconnected like missed one group.

187
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:34,380
However, review of the case and assessments and everything else, just unfortunately was one

188
00:13:34,380 --> 00:13:42,900
of those clients that didn't show any suicide risk realistically, those are usually the

189
00:13:42,900 --> 00:13:44,960
most lethal and most dangerous.

190
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,320
Any other questions on the risk management?

191
00:13:50,320 --> 00:14:03,580
I just have one there's one staff injury yes yeah the staff member at the

192
00:14:03,580 --> 00:14:10,120
St. George Office had a medical issue and fell down while walking so wasn't

193
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:17,560
yeah and I think I remember that one because I get every incident report and I

194
00:14:17,560 --> 00:14:21,320
I think it was, and I can't remember specific, so I'm okay, but it wasn't serious.

195
00:14:22,180 --> 00:14:23,040
It's just like that.

196
00:14:23,420 --> 00:14:24,000
That's it on it.

197
00:14:24,980 --> 00:14:25,460
How

198
00:14:32,630 --> 00:14:35,110
do we entertain Washington to throw the risk management report?

199
00:14:36,130 --> 00:14:37,470
Make a slow move.

200
00:14:38,370 --> 00:14:38,970
Clear's mud.

201
00:14:39,670 --> 00:14:40,090
Second.

202
00:14:40,710 --> 00:14:41,930
These two have been great again.

203
00:14:42,190 --> 00:14:43,010
All right, all clear.

204
00:14:43,630 --> 00:14:44,590
All right.

205
00:14:45,010 --> 00:14:45,930
All right, perfect.

206
00:14:46,630 --> 00:14:47,610
Are we still on?

207
00:14:48,370 --> 00:14:49,890
Yeah, I think we're still on operation.

208
00:14:49,890 --> 00:14:56,090
Okay, the next item is the Director's Traveling for DM Report.

209
00:15:00,140 --> 00:15:26,320
Of course, this is Mike Dill's submissions. He submitted for the last few months, so he hasn't submitted for a little while. And it was paid on January 15th. It's, as you can see, that is items that he can see, for them, and travel for. The last item where it says Christmas launch minus $450, just to explain that piece.

210
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:34,780
That was a administration, a Christmas party.

211
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:36,780
Oh, that wasn't the lunch that we got.

212
00:15:38,100 --> 00:15:39,880
No, this is a different one.

213
00:15:40,780 --> 00:15:47,320
And for administration, we go to lunch for Christmas and have a little party and do things

214
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:47,980
of that nature.

215
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:54,620
And in order for ease and tracking, they pay for it with the company's card and then might

216
00:15:54,620 --> 00:16:02,300
deal pace for that out of his pocket. That's why that's a minus 450, an explanation of that piece.

217
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,840
Well this number has already been improved in the financial court that you gave because he's on

218
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:12,340
that first page. Very nice. Very nice. Very nice. Very nice. Very nice. Very nice.

219
00:16:12,340 --> 00:16:16,280
So I'll open you to do it again. Okay.

220
00:16:18,740 --> 00:16:20,500
I think we're good but thank you for putting that out.

221
00:16:21,780 --> 00:16:28,420
Then the next piece is just, I think, more information this is and because we're a government

222
00:16:28,420 --> 00:16:33,180
entity, so you're aware of what agencies are using the buildings.

223
00:16:35,460 --> 00:16:44,680
That is the outside southwest use of buildings, as you can see it's really just not any use

224
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,280
in the building except for St. George.

225
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:52,040
We are trying just to give the

226
00:16:54,220 --> 00:16:54,900
and

227
00:16:59,540 --> 00:17:01,060
solution here for a minute.

228
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,720
But it's the support group for families with...

229
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:05,360
Alonon?

230
00:17:05,820 --> 00:17:07,480
No, it's not Alonon.

231
00:17:07,900 --> 00:17:08,280
What's it?

232
00:17:08,820 --> 00:17:09,940
What's the N.A. Ladies?

233
00:17:11,260 --> 00:17:12,700
That would be...

234
00:17:12,700 --> 00:17:13,240
I think that's Alonon.

235
00:17:13,460 --> 00:17:14,220
I think that's Alonon.

236
00:17:14,660 --> 00:17:15,240
Alonon?

237
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:18,600
That's Alonon.

238
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:18,660
Alonon?

239
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:19,960
Alonon?

240
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,840
Yeah, for ladies, NASA,

241
00:17:25,390 --> 00:17:25,930
NASA,

242
00:17:28,540 --> 00:17:35,480
probably narcotics, anonymous, so there's Utah, just a

243
00:17:38,420 --> 00:17:39,740
guess.

244
00:17:40,420 --> 00:17:44,810
Why PPA or not say it's, what's that?

245
00:17:45,050 --> 00:17:48,550
Why PPA or not say it's, I think that was a youth.

246
00:17:51,500 --> 00:17:52,860
Did they use the buildings for free?

247
00:17:54,940 --> 00:17:57,180
Yeah, just like the meeting room or something.

248
00:17:57,180 --> 00:18:05,290
Do we want more, are you soliciting or hoping for more use?

249
00:18:06,010 --> 00:18:17,250
We provide or like to provide the use for entities such as NA and AA that are non-profit things of that nature.

250
00:18:17,450 --> 00:18:23,670
We do give requests now and then from private providers or private entities which have been a government entity

251
00:18:23,670 --> 00:18:31,310
then we're kind of shy away from those because we don't show favoritism in that, but if it's

252
00:18:31,310 --> 00:18:41,990
nonprofit or an entity that has a function such as NA and AA, yeah, we're more than willing

253
00:18:41,990 --> 00:18:43,990
to offer the bill.

254
00:18:46,150 --> 00:18:52,710
maybe I'll kind of mention that because Cain County currently well in our

255
00:18:52,710 --> 00:19:01,250
County in the city the NA and AA meet in the building of the American Legion

256
00:19:01,250 --> 00:19:05,630
Hut but then there's some changes happening to that location it used to be our

257
00:19:05,630 --> 00:19:13,910
carriage here as well and anyway there may be a need for a new home for

258
00:19:13,910 --> 00:19:18,710
in a and a soon and if there is is the

259
00:19:18,710 --> 00:19:21,770
connab building possibility yeah it's

260
00:19:21,770 --> 00:19:23,690
big enough we can definitely look into

261
00:19:23,690 --> 00:19:30,510
that okay and what about like American

262
00:19:30,510 --> 00:19:31,970
Legion or something like that is that

263
00:19:31,970 --> 00:19:36,430
too unrelated I mean to be honest a lot

264
00:19:36,430 --> 00:19:39,750
of the veterans also are have substance

265
00:19:39,750 --> 00:19:43,710
abuse and you know issues

266
00:19:43,710 --> 00:19:53,290
and so it kind of was a good fit in a way to have them all together, even though it sometimes created little frictions like they moved our dishes or whatever.

267
00:19:56,610 --> 00:20:02,070
Yeah, let me um, I'll make a note of that and I'll talk with Mike deal on that.

268
00:20:02,430 --> 00:20:02,670
Okay.

269
00:20:03,310 --> 00:20:04,410
For the American Legion?

270
00:20:04,850 --> 00:20:11,690
Yeah, I mean I just don't know for sure if they're going to need to move, but it's possible that in A and A we'll need a home.

271
00:20:12,950 --> 00:20:13,510
I

272
00:20:26,250 --> 00:20:31,130
mean, to fact, the more ability you support from outside sources, is that increase

273
00:20:31,130 --> 00:20:38,890
your liability insurance or does that, or is it just that kind of-

274
00:20:38,890 --> 00:20:47,410
It can. It usually doesn't from what I'm tracking, but we do run it through our liability manager.

275
00:20:47,410 --> 00:21:03,030
I know there's places or entities that have used Oasis House, for example, for Halloween parties, and we just run through them.

276
00:21:03,350 --> 00:21:05,770
It's not like a big deal, then.

277
00:21:05,770 --> 00:21:13,460
Yeah, they signed some sort of an agreement, what are you going to call it?

278
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:15,180
Yeah, I guess.

279
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,500
My ability to start creating stuff.

280
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,740
Now, tracking that is the operation report.

281
00:21:28,360 --> 00:21:29,120
Okay.

282
00:21:31,450 --> 00:21:34,410
Well, it's going to have our original motion in the second pass.

283
00:21:34,650 --> 00:21:34,990
Okay.

284
00:21:36,410 --> 00:21:39,070
This one is financial report.

285
00:21:40,270 --> 00:21:40,630
Okay,

286
00:21:43,420 --> 00:21:47,200
we already approved it, we approved it, we approved it, we approved it, we approved it, we approved it

287
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,220
Well, it's not, I don't see any, I thought that all that stuff is social, so it was a financial report

288
00:21:53,540 --> 00:21:55,000
Yes, that's why I was confused

289
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,260
This is a financial report, yes

290
00:21:57,260 --> 00:21:59,300
The other one is major expenditures

291
00:22:01,950 --> 00:22:04,390
So I guess we'll do this one again, because as we have seen it, it's been

292
00:22:04,390 --> 00:22:04,950
Right

293
00:22:06,430 --> 00:22:11,090
And this is, I know the piece that my highlights all the time

294
00:22:11,090 --> 00:22:18,070
As you can see our total revenue is above our expected rate because of the

295
00:22:18,070 --> 00:22:22,390
guidance from the state to go ahead and draw the federal fundings and things

296
00:22:22,390 --> 00:22:26,530
of that nature because of things that are going on and that's why our revenue

297
00:22:26,530 --> 00:22:34,270
is above and as you can see our total expenditures are slightly under expectations

298
00:22:34,270 --> 00:22:35,630
the financial issues.

299
00:22:38,070 --> 00:22:39,590
Different insurance is way high.

300
00:22:41,530 --> 00:22:44,430
Insurance, we're working at that.

301
00:22:45,370 --> 00:22:47,370
That's because of the annual billing.

302
00:22:48,070 --> 00:22:49,970
So it's 100% okay.

303
00:22:51,570 --> 00:22:53,290
So it should stay in the same place.

304
00:22:54,270 --> 00:22:56,030
But it compares to the rise up to the year.

305
00:22:58,470 --> 00:22:59,070
Any

306
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,680
questions on the mask from anyone?

307
00:23:07,140 --> 00:23:12,680
Now I entertain myself in the most dinner to put the financial book.

308
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:14,240
I'll move.

309
00:23:17,150 --> 00:23:17,690
I'll second.

310
00:23:19,130 --> 00:23:20,370
I thought there was more.

311
00:23:20,570 --> 00:23:21,650
I was just waiting for there.

312
00:23:21,670 --> 00:23:21,990
No.

313
00:23:22,850 --> 00:23:24,230
I'll move that was here.

314
00:23:24,310 --> 00:23:24,730
Okay.

315
00:23:25,210 --> 00:23:25,830
Out of there.

316
00:23:26,510 --> 00:23:26,730
Hi.

317
00:23:27,390 --> 00:23:27,950
I'll

318
00:23:33,010 --> 00:23:34,630
continue on with legislative wrap up.

319
00:23:34,950 --> 00:23:35,330
All right.

320
00:23:35,570 --> 00:23:42,530
The legislative session as you were wrapped up on the behavioral health side,

321
00:23:42,530 --> 00:23:50,870
there wasn't anything overly dramatic or really big that half of us might talk

322
00:23:50,870 --> 00:23:55,690
about last time. One of the biggest, a couple of highlights, the homeless

323
00:23:55,690 --> 00:23:59,450
campus, campus up north that did not go through.

324
00:24:01,730 --> 00:24:04,730
However, there was some

325
00:24:04,730 --> 00:24:10,470
funding for homelessness which is most likely going to go to mostly go to the

326
00:24:10,470 --> 00:24:19,830
lost that front, which was $25 million one time, and then $7.5 million ongoing for homelessness.

327
00:24:21,990 --> 00:24:31,230
The behavioral health commission that might be a part of was granted $750,000 to help

328
00:24:31,230 --> 00:24:34,030
with initiatives and things that they're doing.

329
00:24:36,710 --> 00:24:53,850
nicotine taxes were raised, which could generate the expectation is around 40 million for homelessness, and then one thing that hit affects our receiving center,

330
00:24:53,850 --> 00:25:02,990
House Bill 572 requires that we report to law enforcement if there's a

331
00:25:02,990 --> 00:25:08,650
diversion program which we've already kind of started a diversion program so

332
00:25:08,650 --> 00:25:14,110
it's not that going to be a big shift or anything of that nature but it just

333
00:25:14,110 --> 00:25:19,250
becomes a code that we've been have to notify law enforcement if there are

334
00:25:21,330 --> 00:25:33,930
and then Medicaid match the bill that was requiring counties to do Medicaid match for some of expansion that might be talked about, that was removed as well.

335
00:25:37,460 --> 00:25:43,840
And as far as on the behavioral health side, that's really the highlights of this last session.

336
00:25:46,540 --> 00:25:49,180
No real change in funding, I guess that's the next thing as well.

337
00:25:49,180 --> 00:25:58,440
So yeah, there wasn't a lot of changes in funding and

338
00:26:13,740 --> 00:26:17,280
as far as Medicaid things stayed pretty

339
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:17,700
stable.

340
00:26:17,860 --> 00:26:24,520
In fact, our big fear was we were going to get a lot of cuts because of the cuts that

341
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:30,840
were needed and presented in different courses of action on how to make that happen.

342
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:35,780
And of course, we have a lot of pieces that were on the chopping block, and we ended up

343
00:26:35,780 --> 00:26:40,380
not being tied at all as far as that goes.

344
00:26:40,580 --> 00:26:44,920
However, whatever federal changes happens may affect the fund.

345
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:53,580
Which brings into the HR1 changes like the big, beautiful bill.

346
00:26:54,660 --> 00:26:59,600
That one, one of the biggest things with us, of course, is going to be the work requirements

347
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:04,040
and we're tracking that moving forward

348
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:05,600
with how we can help clients

349
00:27:06,360 --> 00:27:07,840
and help

350
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:15,640
clients with the work verification pieces.

351
00:27:19,710 --> 00:27:24,690
Also, another thing that's coming that at least looks

352
00:27:24,690 --> 00:27:28,830
like TAM Medicaid, looks like it will follow under

353
00:27:28,830 --> 00:27:37,590
tapitation and ACO, so like the TAM Medicaid that is in what, because Washington

354
00:27:37,590 --> 00:27:45,230
County is an ACO County, TAM will fall under the ACOs and then in the other

355
00:27:45,230 --> 00:27:50,710
four counties, TAM Medicaid will then fall under us. So what that's going to do

356
00:27:50,710 --> 00:27:57,090
is everybody that is using TAM or providing TAM Medicaid will need to be a

357
00:27:57,090 --> 00:28:00,210
contract provided with us, and then the financial world through us.

358
00:28:00,510 --> 00:28:09,960
And of course, with every new year, and HR1, there's a ton of changes that are coming

359
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,580
and we're just keeping up with them.

360
00:28:13,780 --> 00:28:22,120
And in fact, I have, me and my deal have a meeting every other Friday to keep up to date

361
00:28:22,120 --> 00:28:27,760
We don't want the state changes, the state changes, the work of the state guidance is involved in life and that's what it is.

362
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:29,160
Okay.

363
00:28:32,870 --> 00:28:34,310
Any else on the Medicaid changes?

364
00:28:35,550 --> 00:28:38,930
No, that's all I have. Any other questions?

365
00:28:39,410 --> 00:28:39,890
Mic on that?

366
00:28:42,030 --> 00:28:44,110
Budget. Budget prep for the new year.

367
00:28:44,630 --> 00:28:47,290
Yes, that one will be conducted by now.

368
00:28:47,910 --> 00:28:53,130
Okay, so we have a median schedule unable first with the state office,

369
00:28:53,130 --> 00:28:58,050
some mental health to go over the grants, but they gave us some preliminary numbers.

370
00:28:58,230 --> 00:29:01,790
It looked like it would be about the same as last year for our budget from the grants.

371
00:29:02,210 --> 00:29:04,910
That is good.

372
00:29:06,410 --> 00:29:07,550
How many grants do you get?

373
00:29:08,910 --> 00:29:13,590
I think maybe 20, 30, there's a lot of different ones.

374
00:29:13,750 --> 00:29:16,190
Some are small, but the big ones come from the state.

375
00:29:17,230 --> 00:29:20,570
Are they managed by one person or are all different entities?

376
00:29:23,090 --> 00:29:29,710
Well, the prevention part of the ground, they have their own grants and they can manage

377
00:29:29,710 --> 00:29:34,110
and follow along with, and then, you know, each substance abuse and it's their own grants.

378
00:29:34,530 --> 00:29:40,110
So, you know, each part of the organization has specific grants that they follow and use.

379
00:29:40,350 --> 00:29:44,550
So they do all the applications and reporting and all that stuff, right?

380
00:29:44,890 --> 00:29:45,070
Yes.

381
00:29:45,730 --> 00:29:45,830
Yeah.

382
00:29:47,290 --> 00:29:47,930
That's good.

383
00:29:50,390 --> 00:29:54,710
And the Medicaid budget, we've submitted an initial budget.

384
00:29:55,070 --> 00:29:59,970
We're a little worried this year that they might not give us what we asked for just because we've...

385
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:30,220
We've got actually the given reforming that we asked for the last two years and I think they might want to try and close them with that back. This year, so we're kind of just waiting to hear from them on that. So that's a bit of a question mark. And then our health insurance for the New Year, we pay probably more than just about any organization I know for health insurance. And that was mainly due to three cases that have been really expensive for the insurance company. And two of those cases are going to drop.

386
00:30:30,220 --> 00:30:36,780
off of our panel. So we're hoping that we'll actually get a decrease in our insurance

387
00:30:36,780 --> 00:30:37,900
cost this year.

388
00:30:40,020 --> 00:30:44,060
Select health water from your small increase, even though those things

389
00:30:44,060 --> 00:30:50,320
are happy. So our broker has been trying to get some kids from other insurance companies

390
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,980
with that information about our population.

391
00:30:56,700 --> 00:30:58,580
So let that tell us.

392
00:30:58,580 --> 00:31:00,580
Did you say that select health?

393
00:31:01,580 --> 00:31:06,520
We've got select health right now and they did want a small increase even though we're dropping off

394
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,980
two of the main costs to them.

395
00:31:11,060 --> 00:31:16,340
So our broker has gone back to select health and is also getting some hits from other church guns.

396
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:21,200
We expect a decrease because we just picked up select health again.

397
00:31:21,500 --> 00:31:24,340
County did for, you know, we were off for a year or two.

398
00:31:24,980 --> 00:31:31,480
and we've gone back to select hell and I've gone, sometimes the line up north we use

399
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:38,580
CVS to get our prescriptions and they won't take select hell if they want so

400
00:31:41,230 --> 00:31:52,130
who's your broker again, who's Gallagher? Gallagher yeah so that might be a

401
00:31:52,130 --> 00:31:55,410
positive for us for the first time in a lot of years on the health insurance

402
00:31:55,410 --> 00:31:59,630
we might actually have the decreased work that's what we're working for. And that

403
00:31:59,630 --> 00:32:04,510
right now we're gathering requests from our programs for new facilities needs

404
00:32:04,510 --> 00:32:10,770
and repairs and things like that. And one question that we would like to know from

405
00:32:10,770 --> 00:32:17,430
the counties is did you provide a COLAB or a merit on on January 2026 for the

406
00:32:17,430 --> 00:32:28,390
company this year. Did you have a cola in a merit? We just kind of wanted to know as we're doing our budget, whether, you know, we're trying to keep in line a little bit, put the counter to read it a little bit.

407
00:32:29,290 --> 00:32:39,230
We just always adopt the federal cola. And then we don't generally have a merit, especially if there's a cola. Like, we just can't handle both.

408
00:32:42,490 --> 00:32:47,190
So everybody who's continued to see a need to keep up with the inflation.

409
00:32:48,510 --> 00:32:48,950
Sure.

410
00:32:49,770 --> 00:32:49,970
All right.

411
00:32:51,810 --> 00:32:59,650
And then we should have a tentative budget on the next meeting on May 13th for you to look over in a period.

412
00:33:00,730 --> 00:33:05,750
So that is quite a condensed time period. We don't even have the information to label first.

413
00:33:05,750 --> 00:33:12,350
we have a month and a half to put together that $30,000 budget, so I'll be busy for a few weeks.

414
00:33:14,780 --> 00:33:17,880
But at all, all ten percent of things can stay about the same.

415
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:19,420
Yeah, everything I've seen.

416
00:33:19,900 --> 00:33:23,400
Even though we have that big scare when the federal government actually said they were taking

417
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:27,400
back, you know, several hundred thousand dollars, as of a certain date.

418
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,740
And then the next day they said that they really were going to do it.

419
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:31,960
That was a bit of a scare.

420
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:33,660
I would have impact just quite a bit.

421
00:33:34,180 --> 00:33:38,880
But as of right now, it looks like the next year will be similar to, can I want to take

422
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:48,120
all the money back from these legit organizations, but we give out billions to put all of those.

423
00:33:50,140 --> 00:33:51,360
Prevention is still good, right?

424
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,640
You still got grants coming in for that, you hope?

425
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:55,860
Yes, I know.

426
00:33:56,300 --> 00:34:02,880
It's been, I think about all, like everyone else, with funding, they have put out for the

427
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:04,060
a truck for communities grants.

428
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:05,820
In fact, Beaver was affected by this

429
00:34:05,820 --> 00:34:07,860
that it should have been awarded in October.

430
00:34:10,100 --> 00:34:12,580
But about the time they were awarding it

431
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:14,760
because the budget hadn't been approved,

432
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,500
the funds were pulled, and so those applicants

433
00:34:18,140 --> 00:34:22,300
that had submitted weren't even awarded last year,

434
00:34:22,740 --> 00:34:26,940
which with Beaver was one of those, they just resubmitted,

435
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:28,880
they called it a re-compete application,

436
00:34:29,100 --> 00:34:30,240
just for that group of people

437
00:34:30,240 --> 00:34:33,780
that should have potentially received awards last year

438
00:34:33,780 --> 00:34:38,620
and they just re-sent in their stuffy in January.

439
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,320
So hopefully in the next, usually it takes about six months

440
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,680
to review and hear back and be awarded.

441
00:34:44,020 --> 00:34:47,060
So I'm not sure everything is so just,

442
00:34:47,620 --> 00:34:50,240
we don't know when we're going to hear about all those kinds of things.

443
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:56,040
And then, the Scolanias applying for their six to ten year

444
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:57,020
I'm not a drug free community.

445
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:02,540
and they put the application out there where you could download it and start working on it,

446
00:35:02,540 --> 00:35:08,900
but it didn't have a date for that it was open and it had a 10 to 10 close date.

447
00:35:09,620 --> 00:35:12,400
So luckily, Heather download of the documents has been working on it,

448
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:16,540
so I pulled it down for Milford and they've taken it off again.

449
00:35:17,660 --> 00:35:20,020
So I don't know, we're just, I think like everybody else,

450
00:35:20,020 --> 00:35:21,760
we're just not sure what's happening.

451
00:35:22,100 --> 00:35:24,060
So we're just trying our best in any way we can.

452
00:35:25,020 --> 00:35:31,040
just making sure that our staff have their ducks that are rowed to apply for

453
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:35,700
things when applications come open. I'd have a call today. Yeah, that's our

454
00:35:35,700 --> 00:35:39,640
one that we mainly function on from in all of our communities.

455
00:35:41,940 --> 00:35:43,360
So beaver, we're

456
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:47,260
hoping we can get that as well. They're 60 to 10 years. So it's the 10-year grant

457
00:35:47,260 --> 00:35:50,540
cycle. So you've five years and you read life for the next five years. And right

458
00:35:50,540 --> 00:35:55,300
before we all started seeing things happen about a year ago with grants. They

459
00:35:55,960 --> 00:36:01,580
did talk about putting on a 11 to 15-year cycle, which we're super excited about

460
00:36:01,580 --> 00:36:06,480
because we've got Washington County and Pingwood specifically that are have

461
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:11,480
cycled through their 10 years and are just like everyone else looking for more

462
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:17,600
funds. Some of those grants paid for staff, right? You see, the OPG funds is also

463
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:24,780
another I know we've seen it. Logan knows more in detail about all of those but there'll be a reduction in thumbs.com.

464
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,380
It will also affect the more staffing.

465
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:32,220
Where does like everybody else just kind of think about bread and hoping for the best?

466
00:36:33,780 --> 00:36:39,340
That big scare from the federal government, that would have impacted prevention more than any other program.

467
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:46,880
I know that Logan was like, well, who am I going to have to let go?

468
00:36:47,620 --> 00:36:54,920
I did hear Logan tell Pam, who is my equivalent in St. George to let one of our staff know to

469
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:59,820
be on alert that they should probably wouldn't have a position come July, with the way things

470
00:36:59,820 --> 00:37:00,440
are going.

471
00:37:00,860 --> 00:37:05,840
So, I guess we'll just kind of, that's the only one that I'm aware of that will potentially

472
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,620
lose at this point. We have a position in pink which there were probably not

473
00:37:09,620 --> 00:37:15,760
going to rehire. I've just taken on those duties for myself and just kind of I

474
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:21,220
rather try to keep other staff there functioning other places. For now with

475
00:37:21,220 --> 00:37:25,320
what we have and maybe when these change will rehire that pink, which

476
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:30,660
person, but for now we're just kind of functioning. Trying to keep what we've

477
00:37:30,660 --> 00:37:33,780
built. I feel like we've spent a lot of years building what we have in our

478
00:37:33,780 --> 00:37:36,760
intervention services and trying to keep working well.

479
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:38,160
Great job.

480
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:39,120
Yeah, I agree.

481
00:37:40,340 --> 00:37:40,860
Yeah, it was.

482
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:41,540
Yeah.

483
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:41,920
Yeah.

484
00:37:43,240 --> 00:37:43,740
All right.

485
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:44,600
Any else on the financial?

486
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:45,400
No, that's all.

487
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:45,720
Okay.

488
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:46,320
Perfect.

489
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:46,800
Thank you.

490
00:37:47,460 --> 00:37:48,000
All right.

491
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,000
Most likely, she had a discharge survey.

492
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:50,800
Yeah.

493
00:37:51,100 --> 00:37:51,260
Yeah.

494
00:37:51,580 --> 00:37:53,060
So this is actually Logan put it together.

495
00:37:53,340 --> 00:37:55,920
He's, you know, so much better than me.

496
00:37:56,580 --> 00:37:57,660
And this is his presentation.

497
00:37:58,300 --> 00:37:59,300
Last night, I pulled it up.

498
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,020
I finally had a minute to look at it.

499
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,320
But I'm familiar with the charge survey.

500
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:07,120
mostly familiar with what is happening in my area specifically this is the

501
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:11,840
Southwest area so I feel like a lot of the trends that the Southwest area is

502
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:17,020
seeing is happening in most of the communities so the Sharp survey is a student

503
00:38:17,020 --> 00:38:20,820
health and risk prevention survey so the state's prevention and assessment for

504
00:38:20,820 --> 00:38:27,820
students in 6, 8, 10th and 12th grade. In our smaller communities we generally

505
00:38:27,820 --> 00:38:35,540
trying to survey all the students, so 7th, 9th, and 11th grade as well, when you're just

506
00:38:35,540 --> 00:38:40,060
to get a better sampling of what is happening. When you have a school like Espelani for example

507
00:38:40,060 --> 00:38:45,960
that there's probably about 11 kids per grade and for only sampling those 6th, 8th, 10th,

508
00:38:46,020 --> 00:38:52,060
and 12th grade, it doesn't give you necessarily a good sampling or reports that we want to

509
00:38:52,060 --> 00:38:57,080
share with the public so we generally sample in some of our smaller schools, all grades

510
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:02,440
possible to have a better understanding of that. So next slide, Mike.

511
00:39:04,810 --> 00:39:05,570
So the really cool

512
00:39:05,570 --> 00:39:11,550
thing about this survey is that it's a good chance to see what the students are saying

513
00:39:11,550 --> 00:39:16,550
and what their perspectives are and it doesn't anonymously. So this is actually from one

514
00:39:16,550 --> 00:39:21,730
of the students on a youth coalition. We spend a lot of time with our youth coalition.

515
00:39:21,730 --> 00:39:26,310
It's actually they look over the sharp survey data themselves and come up with an action plan

516
00:39:26,310 --> 00:39:30,490
of how do they want to address some of these issues with their peers in the school.

517
00:39:31,150 --> 00:39:34,330
And so one of the comments is this survey is really cool because it's one of the only

518
00:39:34,330 --> 00:39:37,550
chances we get to tell the adults about what we're going through.

519
00:39:38,130 --> 00:39:42,930
A lot of times they assume what we're going through, but here we actually get to tell them

520
00:39:42,930 --> 00:39:45,610
what it is from our perspective and its anonymous.

521
00:39:46,270 --> 00:39:47,310
So next slide.

522
00:39:50,090 --> 00:39:56,310
So here's kind of just an example of that when you ask parents what would be the students

523
00:39:56,310 --> 00:40:01,810
concerned in their school. A lot of the parents will say getting bullied, like

524
00:40:01,810 --> 00:40:06,630
bullying is the biggest issue that's the biggest concern in a lot of the

525
00:40:06,630 --> 00:40:12,450
other areas who maybe that gun violence or active shooter situation is a

526
00:40:12,450 --> 00:40:16,250
huge concern. But what our students are telling us is that their biggest

527
00:40:16,250 --> 00:40:20,850
concerns to them are students dying by suicide or other students in their

528
00:40:20,850 --> 00:40:24,310
school using drugs and alcohol. So this is actually a trend that we've seen for

529
00:40:24,310 --> 00:40:28,870
several years, is those are their top concerns over other things?

530
00:40:29,030 --> 00:40:30,410
I'm sorry, is this Utah-wide?

531
00:40:31,030 --> 00:40:31,570
Yes, correct.

532
00:40:32,850 --> 00:40:34,490
This is the five-county area, yes.

533
00:40:34,870 --> 00:40:37,070
Our area is correct.

534
00:40:37,510 --> 00:40:41,070
So, statewide survey, this report is for our five-county area.

535
00:40:41,530 --> 00:40:47,090
Like, excluding Cain County, of course, you've heard over probably time they don't participate

536
00:40:47,090 --> 00:40:47,590
in this.

537
00:40:47,870 --> 00:40:50,430
So, this is actually, I guess, four-county area.

538
00:40:50,430 --> 00:40:56,230
So with regard to the gang activity, is that an unfounded fear,

539
00:40:58,640 --> 00:40:59,480
kind of like earthquake

540
00:40:59,480 --> 00:40:59,900
and fire?

541
00:41:00,380 --> 00:41:00,620
Yeah.

542
00:41:00,860 --> 00:41:01,660
I think so.

543
00:41:01,980 --> 00:41:06,040
I think in some of the areas, we're seeing an increase in crime and things like that.

544
00:41:06,220 --> 00:41:11,800
And so probably, yeah, what area, I mean, like, do we have gang activity, is what I'm

545
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:15,780
trying to ask, actually, in the five-guy area?

546
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:17,480
Not that I'm aware of.

547
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:22,080
I'm not familiar with, I would think more in the future.

548
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:39,540
I have heard there was a star in Hyrum County some years ago when the sheriff got on top of it, he's just making a plan over here.

549
00:41:40,020 --> 00:41:48,300
I was just curious, like if this was general anxiety about subjects that they're reading about in the news or something, or potentially something they're facing.

550
00:41:48,300 --> 00:41:51,280
These are just things that they are worried about.

551
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,800
I don't know, and I can find out for you

552
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,860
and report back next time, or have Logan send that out,

553
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,680
of what the actual questions are that they're asking

554
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,800
the students to come with these answers.

555
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,520
I'll call on the lab, does that have the responses?

556
00:42:06,720 --> 00:42:07,480
Yes, sorry.

557
00:42:07,720 --> 00:42:12,780
On the white is 2023, and the like 0, 15, 30,

558
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:14,660
but that's the number of responses.

559
00:42:15,020 --> 00:42:15,140
Right.

560
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:16,060
Percentage, yeah.

561
00:42:16,240 --> 00:42:16,640
Percentage.

562
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:24,920
5% of the students have gone out breast and it's gone down.

563
00:42:25,060 --> 00:42:25,900
Yeah, of a concern.

564
00:42:27,900 --> 00:42:32,980
Yes, what are they concerned or worried about happening in their school?

565
00:42:35,860 --> 00:42:39,540
I think that it's interesting.

566
00:42:39,720 --> 00:42:42,760
I don't know if I saw a little while ago, at least in my social media,

567
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:44,620
there was a meme going around that said,

568
00:42:44,620 --> 00:42:51,360
For as much as we practice fire safety, I believe that I was going to be involved with the fire situation like catch on fire

569
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:59,360
All the time as an adult because we practice it so much in a making laugh out loud like when he's so true like we're, you know

570
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:05,820
Stop drop and roll and people came in all the time and I actually thought about that is like even as an adult like we still remember that

571
00:43:05,820 --> 00:43:08,300
I remember stop drop and roll because we talked about it all the time

572
00:43:08,300 --> 00:43:14,480
But then when we look at some of these things that are more concerning to the students and as you see as we get through like

573
00:43:14,620 --> 00:43:17,800
We do need to be talking more about these things.

574
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,160
There needs to be more education like the stop, drop,

575
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,280
and roll that we, that we remember.

576
00:43:23,340 --> 00:43:27,100
So yes, this is what the kids are concerned about

577
00:43:27,100 --> 00:43:28,380
or about in their areas.

578
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:29,620
So next slide.

579
00:43:30,980 --> 00:43:33,540
I think I just kind of already talked about this

580
00:43:33,540 --> 00:43:35,820
and Logan usually, I think last year,

581
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:37,920
or the last time the survey was given two years ago,

582
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:39,260
came and did a report similar.

583
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:44,520
And so this is the 2025, which the surveys were given

584
00:43:44,620 --> 00:43:51,720
in the early spring, and the results actually just came out right before Christmas in the fall.

585
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:56,800
So we're just starting to get a good look at them and compile them and see them.

586
00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:01,480
So the hard thing is it takes almost six months to get those results

587
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:05,320
and then we're actually getting ready to administer for the next year.

588
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:13,240
One of the things the state did do is change the way the survey is administered to the fall versus the spring.

589
00:44:13,240 --> 00:44:20,000
There's a lot going on in the spring as schools nearing the end there's a lot of testing those kinds of things are happening

590
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:24,980
And so they feel like there might be just a better participation or since it runs through the school

591
00:44:24,980 --> 00:44:29,300
Maybe a little less stress on the school if we administer it in the fall

592
00:44:29,300 --> 00:44:36,600
So they'll wait about six weeks for school to get going and then start the process of administering and then we'll get the results in the spring

593
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:39,920
So it's crazy. We just barely get the results and

594
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:44,400
because of that change, we are already trying to get districts signing on for the

595
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:49,160
surveying because with the law that passed a couple years ago we have to have

596
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:55,660
that participation forms filled out during registration and some schools do

597
00:44:55,660 --> 00:44:59,880
that spring early registration. So we're already working on this with our

598
00:45:02,350 --> 00:45:29,930
Next slide, please. So a lot of people think that we are just surveying substance abuse issues and mental health, but these are a lot of the different things that are surveyed in this, this, uh, the certificate for asking kids to help issues about diet, exercise, seat, belt use. I talked to law enforcement a lot of times about that. Like, let's see what's happening in the area and then you can do your educational campaigns to that. A lot about tanning beds, asthma, diabetes,

599
00:45:29,930 --> 00:45:35,090
So, health things about bullying, cyber bullying, social media screen time, which I'm going

600
00:45:35,090 --> 00:45:40,410
to talk a little bit about that, along with our underage drinking, other substances and

601
00:45:40,410 --> 00:45:44,650
mental health services, which we primarily focus on in our area.

602
00:45:45,170 --> 00:45:50,110
There's questions about parental involvement, career and college readiness and aspirations

603
00:45:50,110 --> 00:45:51,590
gain prevention and violence.

604
00:45:51,850 --> 00:45:52,650
So, there is a lot.

605
00:45:53,070 --> 00:45:57,830
I looked at the bullying and there's a lot of bullying that goes on in schools.

606
00:45:58,310 --> 00:46:02,270
I'd see right here a lot about that I've got grandkids who are just going for me.

607
00:46:03,050 --> 00:46:07,530
But you know what, when I look at a lot of that, it's because of the parents.

608
00:46:08,430 --> 00:46:09,330
Yeah, possibly.

609
00:46:09,910 --> 00:46:13,770
Some of the data that you can get from the parental involvement, there's a measurement

610
00:46:13,770 --> 00:46:22,050
called the parental, we think, of the wording for anti-social behavior, so they're supporting

611
00:46:22,050 --> 00:46:22,370
it.

612
00:46:22,370 --> 00:46:25,470
And so the questions and things that go along with that

613
00:46:25,470 --> 00:46:29,610
is if there's a problem, and instead of maybe the parents

614
00:46:30,370 --> 00:46:34,930
doing something about it, the way it's handled

615
00:46:34,930 --> 00:46:38,610
that the students believe that it might parents support

616
00:46:38,610 --> 00:46:39,750
that that social behavior.

617
00:46:40,410 --> 00:46:41,710
So a lot of that leads into that.

618
00:46:42,150 --> 00:46:45,050
Well, and so there are questions and things about that.

619
00:46:45,730 --> 00:46:48,830
And those are kind of things we try to communicate with our

620
00:46:48,830 --> 00:46:51,710
our parents in our work that we do.

621
00:46:52,070 --> 00:46:53,830
We as parents sometimes get jealous

622
00:46:53,830 --> 00:46:57,270
of how our kid isn't shining as much as the other kids.

623
00:46:57,590 --> 00:46:59,770
So we talk bad about that kid.

624
00:46:59,970 --> 00:47:03,370
And so they tend to bully that one.

625
00:47:03,690 --> 00:47:05,450
I mean, it doesn't make sense.

626
00:47:06,290 --> 00:47:07,910
I thought you were going in a different direction.

627
00:47:08,470 --> 00:47:11,010
I thought you were saying, that's, I'm sure, valid as well.

628
00:47:11,510 --> 00:47:14,930
I thought you were saying a kid's a little shy or whatever.

629
00:47:15,230 --> 00:47:17,850
And then mom and dad are like, well, don't ruin it.

630
00:47:17,850 --> 00:47:21,490
you know, whatever. They make themselves a victim by not using it.

631
00:47:21,510 --> 00:47:25,490
There's probably some of that, too. But I don't want to say too much about Gallaudet

632
00:47:25,490 --> 00:47:32,370
against it. I mean, she's just phenomenal in school. And there's a Gallaudet or a class

633
00:47:32,370 --> 00:47:41,730
that doesn't do as well. But there's always a pinking on this Gallaudet. It does well in

634
00:47:45,310 --> 00:47:51,150
Yeah, the students perceive that nothing is being done about it from the parents or even

635
00:47:51,150 --> 00:47:57,510
at school, then some of those things reporting the survey are that perception of parental

636
00:47:57,510 --> 00:48:02,010
approval of antisocial behavior and things like that.

637
00:48:02,350 --> 00:48:04,270
So that's what I was thinking about.

638
00:48:05,910 --> 00:48:09,490
But anyways, it's a great survey, there's a lot of things involved in it.

639
00:48:10,390 --> 00:48:14,290
usually when the surveys come out and within our coalitions and our communities

640
00:48:14,290 --> 00:48:18,030
like, hey, there's a lot of stuff in here that would pertain to what you're

641
00:48:18,030 --> 00:48:21,790
doing. Sometimes two within schools, they're like, uh, this is just a drug

642
00:48:21,790 --> 00:48:26,410
prevention survey. Why are we doing this survey? But there's so much in there

643
00:48:26,410 --> 00:48:30,170
about like the school's population and what the kids think about the school.

644
00:48:30,410 --> 00:48:34,670
Like, does my teacher, is there, does my teacher spend time with me?

645
00:48:34,990 --> 00:48:38,610
I'm trying to think what else they've got in there, but a lot of things about

646
00:48:38,610 --> 00:48:45,830
school and the school climate and what's happening in the school so I think that's one thing too

647
00:48:45,830 --> 00:48:50,410
that we try to promote is hey this is great serving for a lot of different use not just what we use

648
00:48:50,410 --> 00:48:55,930
for in our drug prevention and mental health issues okay next slide so I kind of already talked

649
00:48:55,930 --> 00:49:03,370
about this is it is we have to have parent permission for that active parent permission and collect

650
00:49:03,370 --> 00:49:07,530
the beginning of the school years there's just an example of the permission slip they're really

651
00:49:07,530 --> 00:49:12,430
detailed to where if a parent wanted information or actually to see the survey, there are the

652
00:49:12,430 --> 00:49:18,670
websites that parents can go to that and see the actual questions on the survey. A lot

653
00:49:18,670 --> 00:49:24,730
of the districts do have control over the questions so that sometimes they can even add questions,

654
00:49:24,890 --> 00:49:29,790
so if your district was interested in adding questions, they really frown upon adding too

655
00:49:29,790 --> 00:49:35,670
many questions and making the survey even longer. Schools have that ability to take on any questions

656
00:49:35,670 --> 00:49:39,010
or any questions that they see relevant for their areas.

657
00:49:39,570 --> 00:49:43,290
You know what would be interesting to see is that the kids that take the survey

658
00:49:43,290 --> 00:49:46,590
if one or one of the parents

659
00:49:47,330 --> 00:49:50,530
would take the survey and

660
00:49:50,530 --> 00:49:53,130
you know not no one

661
00:49:53,710 --> 00:49:57,450
would either want to sap it and be interested in see how the parents proceed

662
00:49:57,450 --> 00:50:01,890
compared to how the students perceive it.

663
00:50:01,890 --> 00:50:08,570
We have to do that. On our youth team, the way we measure progress is from, it's called

664
00:50:08,570 --> 00:50:18,770
a Y-O-Q, but there's a, if they're over 10, well, somewhere there's an H-K-Doth. If

665
00:50:18,770 --> 00:50:26,190
they're over a certain age, we have them take the child survey, and then parents at any

666
00:50:26,190 --> 00:50:32,830
age does give the parents a way to help us make your change or how these are going

667
00:50:32,830 --> 00:50:42,470
and it's amazing sometimes how the parents and child scores are different and like I

668
00:50:42,470 --> 00:50:49,170
said this is a great concept honestly that doesn't happen really on the sharks

669
00:50:50,210 --> 00:50:51,570
So we put the kids, it's basically.

670
00:50:51,930 --> 00:50:55,290
No really adult survey being done per se, is there?

671
00:50:55,610 --> 00:50:59,590
So not with like the sharps per se, but a lot of areas

672
00:50:59,590 --> 00:51:01,070
are doing their own parents' surveys

673
00:51:01,070 --> 00:51:02,910
to find out information similar.

674
00:51:03,210 --> 00:51:04,510
So for example.

675
00:51:04,550 --> 00:51:06,090
I mean, like schools are, or like.

676
00:51:06,390 --> 00:51:08,130
So the call of the coalition is in the area.

677
00:51:08,310 --> 00:51:10,010
So I know like for my area in English,

678
00:51:10,330 --> 00:51:13,850
we looked at the surveys and it said parents are not

679
00:51:13,850 --> 00:51:16,090
communicating with their kids on a regular basis

680
00:51:16,090 --> 00:51:17,290
about no alcohol use.

681
00:51:17,290 --> 00:51:18,990
so we're like, well, why are they not?

682
00:51:19,110 --> 00:51:20,690
So we put out a survey with our parents

683
00:51:21,250 --> 00:51:22,950
and it had different questions

684
00:51:22,950 --> 00:51:25,330
that we wanted to know in relation to the sharp survey.

685
00:51:25,490 --> 00:51:27,010
So if you weren't talking to your kids, why?

686
00:51:27,630 --> 00:51:29,410
And then we listed things that they could choose

687
00:51:29,410 --> 00:51:30,930
or they could give an answer.

688
00:51:31,110 --> 00:51:33,550
And a lot of it was, they should just know better

689
00:51:33,550 --> 00:51:36,310
because of our, you know, our religious culture

690
00:51:36,310 --> 00:51:37,130
that we live in.

691
00:51:37,830 --> 00:51:39,950
A lot of it had, I don't know much about it.

692
00:51:40,030 --> 00:51:41,450
I'm scared if they ask me questions

693
00:51:42,090 --> 00:51:43,330
that I can't answer.

694
00:51:43,910 --> 00:51:45,950
And so it was a way for us to say, oh, okay,

695
00:51:45,950 --> 00:51:48,090
This is why parents aren't talking to their kids now.

696
00:51:48,690 --> 00:51:53,790
I can take this information and help parents give them the information like here's some information

697
00:51:53,790 --> 00:51:58,750
so you can talk to your kids or we need to talk to our kids actually towards the end of

698
00:51:58,750 --> 00:51:59,030
a presentation.

699
00:51:59,270 --> 00:52:03,550
I have a couple of slides about this that the research shows more often we are talking to

700
00:52:03,550 --> 00:52:09,130
our kids the less likely they are to use substances and how important that is so to talk with parents

701
00:52:09,130 --> 00:52:14,450
about that in our parent presentations or parenting classes or things so we do in each individual

702
00:52:14,450 --> 00:52:18,950
area based off of kind of what their needs are and what they're seeing is that

703
00:52:18,950 --> 00:52:23,670
they can do those kinds of surveys for parents. It's not every question on the

704
00:52:23,670 --> 00:52:29,530
survey but it's more formed to what the students are seeing and we want now the

705
00:52:29,530 --> 00:52:33,950
parents perception of those things that the students are reporting. How does

706
00:52:33,950 --> 00:52:39,310
the information get back to the public? From either survey? Or the parent survey?

707
00:52:47,190 --> 00:52:52,510
Well, the information goes to the superintendent, I have to get permission from him to use it

708
00:52:52,510 --> 00:52:54,330
in my community.

709
00:52:54,650 --> 00:52:59,730
And so if any person wants, they could go and request it if the property of the district.

710
00:53:00,770 --> 00:53:04,770
So if you wanted anybody can probably go and request it out of the superintendent's discretion.

711
00:53:04,770 --> 00:53:12,750
like I know that yeah you could go and get the survey report so but I think that

712
00:53:14,030 --> 00:53:22,570
but I mean restrictions on it yeah because they can make the school of bad

713
00:53:22,570 --> 00:53:26,330
is it's they can ask questions out the school yeah there's a lot I mean

714
00:53:26,330 --> 00:53:29,670
there's a lot in there and that could potentially be but I think to

715
00:53:29,670 --> 00:53:33,850
And they're interested to do this school to teach me the access to the kids so I see why you can't do this school.

716
00:53:34,030 --> 00:53:34,150
Right.

717
00:53:34,910 --> 00:53:36,590
I mean, I should just mean...

718
00:53:36,590 --> 00:53:37,410
Public information.

719
00:53:37,790 --> 00:53:38,830
Public information.

720
00:53:39,510 --> 00:53:42,490
I have never had a problem getting the survey from...

721
00:53:42,490 --> 00:53:42,870
I've never...

722
00:53:42,870 --> 00:53:44,350
But I don't think parents don't have a good...

723
00:53:44,350 --> 00:53:44,510
Right.

724
00:53:44,670 --> 00:53:45,310
Or if they...

725
00:53:45,310 --> 00:53:46,590
Yeah, if they want to hear the questions.

726
00:53:47,910 --> 00:53:52,030
I feel like in our Southwest area our coalitions are really out in the community

727
00:53:52,030 --> 00:53:54,630
and we're giving this information out.

728
00:53:54,930 --> 00:53:59,270
And so I feel like maybe they don't feel like the need is better to go get the information.

729
00:53:59,790 --> 00:54:02,770
But if they wanted to, they could go and request it.

730
00:54:03,490 --> 00:54:08,590
Because we talk about more talk about, more talk about, but how the parents talk about it.

731
00:54:08,670 --> 00:54:10,050
And I'm giving it, there's a talk about it.

732
00:54:10,050 --> 00:54:10,190
Yeah.

733
00:54:10,930 --> 00:54:11,410
Right.

734
00:54:12,150 --> 00:54:13,030
No, I get it.

735
00:54:13,410 --> 00:54:17,570
I think that's where the coalitions come into play is like we are, we see the results.

736
00:54:17,830 --> 00:54:21,270
So we are trying to give the parents what they need through our coal.

737
00:54:21,390 --> 00:54:22,970
Results as we, as we are coalitions do we?

738
00:54:23,030 --> 00:54:23,670
Right, correct.

739
00:54:23,930 --> 00:54:27,550
And every coalition is different based off of what their results are.

740
00:54:27,550 --> 00:54:32,410
So what I'm doing in a language or a school and I might be completely different than we were in Milford

741
00:54:32,410 --> 00:54:37,550
and it is when we look at the survey results, like I'm working with Milford right now, there's

742
00:54:37,550 --> 00:54:40,950
There are survey results is more of a low commitment to school

743
00:54:40,950 --> 00:54:48,130
So what the coalition wants to do is do more things at how it would work with the school on how do we get kids more committed to school that

744
00:54:48,130 --> 00:54:56,450
Enjoying in that school environment where kind of in English in a school any it's more of a family driven and so that focus on the family

745
00:54:56,450 --> 00:54:57,310
So it just depends.

746
00:54:58,790 --> 00:55:05,190
I wanted to just say to when I mentioned that a lot of these smaller areas, they don't

747
00:55:05,190 --> 00:55:11,270
have as many soundlings, and so they like to keep the results a little more on the locking

748
00:55:11,270 --> 00:55:19,150
key for the reason why, say Jerry goes in request that, but he knows the 11th grade class and two

749
00:55:19,150 --> 00:55:20,250
kids are drinking.

750
00:55:20,250 --> 00:55:22,070
he'd be like, well, I know who those kids are.

751
00:55:22,250 --> 00:55:23,290
And so they like to try to keep.

752
00:55:24,930 --> 00:55:27,510
I know, but just to try to keep that,

753
00:55:27,510 --> 00:55:28,990
if we're telling the kids it's confidential

754
00:55:29,490 --> 00:55:32,530
that to keep that, to where we don't want students

755
00:55:32,530 --> 00:55:33,650
to be able to be identified.

756
00:55:33,930 --> 00:55:35,710
And I've been familiar with that.

757
00:55:35,930 --> 00:55:37,530
When my kids went to school, and I'm reading,

758
00:55:37,530 --> 00:55:39,230
and I'm like, oh, I can tell you who those kids are.

759
00:55:39,890 --> 00:55:43,350
But I think that's one reason is that it is kind of kids.

760
00:55:44,770 --> 00:55:46,330
I mean, it's information out there,

761
00:55:46,330 --> 00:55:49,030
but I think they're just at a discretion

762
00:55:49,030 --> 00:55:53,510
of who receives that information to try to help keep that confidentiality for the students.

763
00:55:54,130 --> 00:55:59,650
A parent's have the right to opt in or opt out of the survey, so if they want their

764
00:55:59,650 --> 00:56:01,170
kids to take it or they don't, so.

765
00:56:01,570 --> 00:56:05,110
You have a lot of opt out in St. Carpentry County.

766
00:56:06,150 --> 00:56:07,030
Not usually.

767
00:56:07,330 --> 00:56:13,230
Sometimes I feel like when I look at the permission slips and I know who opts in and opts out.

768
00:56:14,010 --> 00:56:17,490
Sometimes I think I think they just didn't understand what they were signing and then there

769
00:56:17,490 --> 00:56:21,270
are some that I'm like, that makes sense because of the, and that's just

770
00:56:21,270 --> 00:56:26,150
word from small town, but most we don't really have those that opt out. In fact,

771
00:56:26,210 --> 00:56:32,390
in one of my other sites, there's only 2% in our area that ended up. Well, not

772
00:56:32,390 --> 00:56:37,050
opt out, I'm sorry, that the surveys were thrown out because of the validity, so

773
00:56:37,050 --> 00:56:41,590
we have validity checks throughout the survey. That is something that they say, well,

774
00:56:41,610 --> 00:56:45,550
how do you know the kids are being honest? And so they'll ask a question multiple

775
00:56:45,550 --> 00:56:52,370
multiple times maybe in the different format to see if kids are saying the same thing, or

776
00:56:52,370 --> 00:56:57,290
if they say, yeah, I use this fake substance they'll throw them out.

777
00:56:57,430 --> 00:57:04,650
So if they, or if they're using in a, in a measurement that would, you know, kill somebody

778
00:57:04,650 --> 00:57:09,770
and they're like, oh, yeah, I drink this many times or I use this substance then they throw

779
00:57:09,770 --> 00:57:13,330
those out because they know the students aren't being honest and so those ones aren't even

780
00:57:13,330 --> 00:57:16,830
any of the data from those surveys are checked.

781
00:57:18,010 --> 00:57:18,630
Next slide.

782
00:57:19,830 --> 00:57:23,150
So total of 78,000 surveys were completed

783
00:57:23,150 --> 00:57:27,990
in statewide in 2025, and like I mentioned,

784
00:57:28,230 --> 00:57:31,010
only 2% statewide of the surveys were thrown out

785
00:57:31,010 --> 00:57:32,030
for those validity checks.

786
00:57:32,290 --> 00:57:33,670
So the students, primarily, are being

787
00:57:33,670 --> 00:57:35,110
honest in what they're reporting.

788
00:57:35,650 --> 00:57:37,090
That a great jump in two years.

789
00:57:37,850 --> 00:57:40,110
And that percentage of students changed,

790
00:57:40,110 --> 00:57:47,690
like in other words this is percentage by comfortable or are there just more

791
00:57:47,690 --> 00:57:55,090
students for the percentage yeah I'm just wondering if it if the numbers went up so

792
00:57:55,090 --> 00:58:01,990
much because there's more students or if the percentages I don't know the

793
00:58:01,990 --> 00:58:06,170
answer to that if you'd like me to find that out I can find out why the jump in

794
00:58:06,170 --> 00:58:08,030
that number of surveys.

795
00:58:08,550 --> 00:58:08,610
Yeah.

796
00:58:08,950 --> 00:58:10,770
And there's a lot of different factors.

797
00:58:10,930 --> 00:58:15,170
Like I said, sometimes we measure more students

798
00:58:15,170 --> 00:58:17,750
in a particular area, not always.

799
00:58:18,030 --> 00:58:22,270
But sometimes if there's that capacity or the funds,

800
00:58:22,270 --> 00:58:25,710
because it does cost extra to survey those additional grades.

801
00:58:26,390 --> 00:58:28,990
And so a lot of times with some of these grant funds will say,

802
00:58:29,190 --> 00:58:30,270
we've got some grant funds.

803
00:58:30,430 --> 00:58:32,810
Let's survey all grades for the next couple of years.

804
00:58:32,810 --> 00:58:36,150
and so there is a lot of different factors to that.

805
00:58:36,710 --> 00:58:39,250
I was just looking at the demographics for our county

806
00:58:39,250 --> 00:58:42,230
and we have fewer, very young children,

807
00:58:42,950 --> 00:58:46,970
but then there's still crops moving through, right?

808
00:58:47,890 --> 00:58:49,610
And I think just that general fluctuation.

809
00:58:51,170 --> 00:58:54,470
I know that a lot of, it goes back and forth

810
00:58:54,470 --> 00:58:57,050
between the six grades, so this could potentially be

811
00:58:57,610 --> 00:59:00,410
a measurement as well as more six graders.

812
00:59:00,410 --> 00:59:06,030
they shortened the survey for six graders so that it wasn't so long and so maybe more six

813
00:59:06,030 --> 00:59:10,850
graders are taking and completing the test versus last year. So I think there's just a lot

814
00:59:10,850 --> 00:59:13,290
of factors but if you want that information it's okay.

815
00:59:13,430 --> 00:59:13,830
Okay,

816
00:59:16,390 --> 00:59:17,230
next slide.

817
00:59:20,380 --> 00:59:24,540
So this actually shows how many students in our area took that. So again,

818
00:59:24,780 --> 00:59:31,400
Washington, Iron Beaver and Garfield counties, 6, 8, 10th and 12th took that in 2025 and we had

819
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:34,460
just over 5,000 students who took the survey in 2025

820
00:59:34,460 --> 00:59:35,860
in our five county area.

821
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:37,820
Next slide.

822
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:42,060
So just kind of some data points really quickly.

823
00:59:42,860 --> 00:59:45,480
And if we were to show back in 2017,

824
00:59:45,860 --> 00:59:49,120
we'd actually see increases in a lot of these substances,

825
00:59:49,580 --> 00:59:52,860
but since 2019, we're actually seeing decreases.

826
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:54,900
And some of them are pretty significant drops,

827
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:57,440
like you can see in e-cigarettes and even marijuana.

828
00:59:58,060 --> 00:59:59,780
We do see a slight increase within.

829
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:16,960
Silence. That's things like paint and glue and some of those things like gasoline. But it's such a low number and a very, a such a low number to begin with. It's not something we're super concerned about. But definitely something we watch. E cigarettes, we're seeing inflation.

830
01:00:20,660 --> 01:00:29,820
Can't afford to make one. Yeah, true, true. Go to the other. It also made me wonder too, like thinking back to

831
01:00:29,820 --> 01:00:34,620
and you'd have to really do a deep dive is maybe it's the increase in

832
01:00:34,620 --> 01:00:37,580
inhalants because we have more six graders taking the survey now and there's

833
01:00:37,580 --> 01:00:41,580
more access I mean they're more of that like let's go out and sniff some

834
01:00:41,580 --> 01:00:44,640
gasoline or glue that seems to be something more like a six-creator would do

835
01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:50,940
horses and older kids so anyway that's just something any barker right to consider

836
01:00:50,940 --> 01:00:57,900
paint that are culturally like people used to sniff back. I guess it did your higher

837
01:00:57,900 --> 01:01:06,440
than a kite. Don't remember. You're gone. We used to see back in the, quite a few years

838
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:14,220
ago, the dust off stuff that people know. We actually had some quite high inhalant use.

839
01:01:14,500 --> 01:01:18,820
And that was one of the big ones, because that was kind of just this big trend. And we,

840
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:24,420
Yeah, but that's generally something even though there is a slight increase in numbers

841
01:01:24,420 --> 01:01:29,460
itself are quite low, and even that slight increase is not a huge concern for us.

842
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:32,940
We're more concerned about the top three substance uses you can see there.

843
01:01:33,460 --> 01:01:38,240
And it is great to see a big significant drop in e-cigarettes.

844
01:01:38,900 --> 01:01:40,860
We're seeing that in a lot of our communities.

845
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:49,460
And I think that, you know, the alcohol are the tobacco companies.

846
01:01:49,860 --> 01:01:52,140
They're continuing to find ways to make money, right?

847
01:01:52,380 --> 01:01:54,560
So we know that smoking is dangerous.

848
01:01:54,780 --> 01:02:01,260
We would not usually see any youth or any younger people smoking regular cigarettes, traditional cigarettes,

849
01:02:01,620 --> 01:02:03,800
and same thing with...

850
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:04,640
We're not laughing at you.

851
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:06,580
There's like some funny noises happening.

852
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:12,860
And then we saw the e-cigarettes kind of come on board as this healthier alternative.

853
01:02:13,780 --> 01:02:19,320
And now we're starting to see just like we did with cigarettes that there are these

854
01:02:20,260 --> 01:02:24,660
risks associated and so more and more kids are thinking, oh, this isn't just the harmless

855
01:02:24,660 --> 01:02:28,520
water vapor that we thought it was, they're seeing the risks a lot of the work we're doing

856
01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:31,800
in our community coalitions with our youth groups we're seeing that drop.

857
01:02:32,580 --> 01:02:39,160
However, we are seeing a new trend come off, so the next slide, please, is the zin.

858
01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:41,240
So even those zins have been around for a while.

859
01:02:41,580 --> 01:02:45,160
I feel like it's kind of ramping up as this new trend with youth.

860
01:02:45,900 --> 01:02:51,820
We're just starting to survey that in the survey, is it you?

861
01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:55,360
So it is pure nicotine in these pouches.

862
01:02:55,360 --> 01:03:02,640
And so one of the reasons that it is now being this advertised as this basically almost completely harmless

863
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:07,580
It's better than inhaling the smoke with a water vapor that it's just pure nicotine

864
01:03:07,580 --> 01:03:14,360
There's no tobacco because there's kind of this with tobacco that is unhealthy and so it's pure nicotine and

865
01:03:15,140 --> 01:03:21,560
They just put it in their gum. You don't have to spit anything either. You just swallow it. So with teens, it's

866
01:03:24,380 --> 01:03:30,140
So it's more, it's easier to hide and so it's kind of this new trend, next slide please.

867
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:33,480
We are starting to see some increases.

868
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:39,640
They still are fairly low, but it is one of those things that we're watching and trying

869
01:03:39,640 --> 01:03:40,360
to get ahead of the game.

870
01:03:40,500 --> 01:03:45,860
So I know with my youth coalition that I work with, where our kids in my youth coalition

871
01:03:45,860 --> 01:03:51,280
still say they know more kids that are using bathing devices than nicotine pouches, but

872
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:54,860
we're trying to get a heavy game and do that prevention work. So we've been doing some research

873
01:03:54,860 --> 01:03:59,520
and having them put together things about like what would you tell your your fellow students

874
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:03,960
about nicotine pouches and that are dangerous trying to create that for so much. Does that cause

875
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:12,060
cancer the way to? Not true. Not true. It does. It enters your bloodstream. There's the you know there

876
01:04:12,060 --> 01:04:17,900
is similar problems so you would see with chew in your mouth and causing cancer and nicotine itself

877
01:04:17,900 --> 01:04:24,640
is just highly indicted. But they're interpreting it as healthier because you're not ingesting things

878
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:30,020
into your lungs. There's not the tobacco, which the tobacco has kind of that bad name. It's just

879
01:04:30,020 --> 01:04:34,560
a pure nicotine. So there's a lot, and I don't want to, I don't want to spend a lot of your time,

880
01:04:34,660 --> 01:04:40,680
but maybe another time, or go to some of your community coalitions and kind of hear about what's going

881
01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:48,140
on with that but the amount of nicotine in those pouches and it varies and the amount

882
01:04:48,140 --> 01:04:53,020
of nicotine pouches the students are using a day because they just take it out, put one

883
01:04:53,020 --> 01:04:57,520
right back in and that's kind of the common thing is one right after another right after

884
01:04:57,520 --> 01:05:03,300
another is the amount of nicotine that the students could potentially get throughout the

885
01:05:03,300 --> 01:05:08,640
day is equal to like 40 cigarettes or something, it's just a lot and so it's something we

886
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:12,920
definitely need to be aware of. So you can just see how you can see the increases since

887
01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:18,380
we started tracking it in 2021. And you can also see right here on the right that the

888
01:05:18,380 --> 01:05:25,020
first use of tobacco that students are now reporting that these in or nicotine pouches

889
01:05:25,020 --> 01:05:30,360
are their first nicotine product versus e-cigarettes, traditional cigarettes, and chew that they're

890
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:30,660
trying.

891
01:05:30,660 --> 01:05:43,440
I chewed as a youth in all of 20 minutes, from the first time I played in a little bit of tobacco till I was wiped out, was about 20 minutes so I was wide and done.

892
01:05:43,820 --> 01:05:46,500
Alright, on to dyco.

893
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:47,560
It wasn't that cool.

894
01:05:48,740 --> 01:05:57,220
Well, I think they're changing all of that to accommodate like the smells or the taste and all of that and to make it more healing and promoted that way.

895
01:05:57,220 --> 01:06:06,840
so next slide. So I mentioned earlier that they're doing more surveying about screen time

896
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:13,500
in teenagers so this just shows over the years and you see the whites 21, grades 23 and the blue

897
01:06:13,500 --> 01:06:19,820
is in 2025. The grades across the bottom six through 12th and a combination of all grades that

898
01:06:19,820 --> 01:06:27,000
youth are reporting more than two hours per school day on screen so after school time. So not

899
01:06:27,220 --> 01:06:31,100
during school, about 70% of sixth graders report

900
01:06:31,100 --> 01:06:34,080
that they're gaming or social media or YouTube-ing,

901
01:06:34,380 --> 01:06:38,280
and 90% of 12th graders are reporting, spending that time,

902
01:06:38,620 --> 01:06:40,620
which is concerning to us,

903
01:06:40,620 --> 01:06:41,860
and I'll talk a little bit about that.

904
01:06:42,060 --> 01:06:44,500
There's some correlations to mental health

905
01:06:44,500 --> 01:06:46,360
and substance use and screen time.

906
01:06:47,860 --> 01:06:48,380
It

907
01:06:53,850 --> 01:06:54,950
was all move on to the next slide.

908
01:06:55,170 --> 01:06:56,970
Well, I think about what I was gonna say on that.

909
01:06:57,770 --> 01:06:58,890
So screen time and alcohol.

910
01:06:58,890 --> 01:07:09,050
So here we have, there is some direct links to students who are reporting that long-term,

911
01:07:09,410 --> 01:07:13,670
that two hours in screen time and their alcohol use in the past 30 days.

912
01:07:14,210 --> 01:07:18,730
So just kind of for some clarification too on, we measure both lifetime use,

913
01:07:18,830 --> 01:07:22,470
means that somebody is trying at least one time and we measure 30 day use,

914
01:07:22,590 --> 01:07:27,530
which is if somebody is using in the past 30 days typically they're using on a more regular basis.

915
01:07:27,530 --> 01:07:34,630
And so, we like to really look at the 30-day use is more of the concern for us.

916
01:07:34,870 --> 01:07:40,870
So, students who use alcohol in the past 30 days and are spending more screen time is

917
01:07:40,870 --> 01:07:43,890
concerning, we're seeing increases in that.

918
01:07:45,330 --> 01:07:49,590
Do you think that's just because the kids are on their phones all the time or the ones that

919
01:07:49,590 --> 01:07:50,530
don't have parents right there.

920
01:07:50,590 --> 01:07:51,510
I mean, put down your phone.

921
01:07:51,630 --> 01:07:52,250
Put down your phone.

922
01:07:52,350 --> 01:07:53,250
And so, they're also drinking.

923
01:07:54,170 --> 01:07:56,430
I'm not 100% sure on that.

924
01:07:56,690 --> 01:07:57,770
I mean, again, I can look that up.

925
01:07:57,870 --> 01:07:58,710
I don't know the questions.

926
01:07:58,870 --> 01:08:00,310
I didn't put this slide show together,

927
01:08:00,330 --> 01:08:02,430
so I don't really answer to some of these questions.

928
01:08:02,870 --> 01:08:04,110
I'm giving it for somebody else.

929
01:08:04,350 --> 01:08:06,050
So when you're like, why are you presenting this,

930
01:08:06,110 --> 01:08:08,330
and you don't really answer, this is not my slide show.

931
01:08:08,830 --> 01:08:14,010
So a lot of it has to do with some of the other survey data

932
01:08:14,010 --> 01:08:16,930
collected, too, is that connection with other people

933
01:08:16,930 --> 01:08:20,050
and getting out and so feeling probably that depressed,

934
01:08:20,050 --> 01:08:26,130
not have connections with old parents, students, probably some of the content that they're viewing

935
01:08:26,130 --> 01:08:32,050
to and feeling like the norm is that everybody is using versus like what the norm is in my

936
01:08:32,050 --> 01:08:38,030
own community is and most kids are not using. So there could be a lot that goes into that too.

937
01:08:38,390 --> 01:08:45,490
So next slide, we're seeing the same trend too with faith being here. So again, just the correlation

938
01:08:45,490 --> 01:08:51,530
or the directly between those that are using substances and spending more time on their

939
01:08:51,530 --> 01:08:51,970
screens.

940
01:08:53,170 --> 01:08:55,970
One of the next slide and same thing with marijuana.

941
01:08:56,810 --> 01:09:04,790
I'm really curious to see with the schools now implementing that no phones, how this

942
01:09:04,790 --> 01:09:09,170
changes for next year or some of these kids who maybe were on their phones during school

943
01:09:09,170 --> 01:09:14,090
that are also spending that two hours outside of school, two hours plus, but now they can't

944
01:09:14,090 --> 01:09:18,210
during school? Is that going to increase even more time after school? So I'm kind of curious

945
01:09:18,210 --> 01:09:25,230
in the next survey to see how that change with that changes. Well, that did pass that now

946
01:09:25,230 --> 01:09:32,090
statewide. There's no bell to bell. Yeah, I think that and a lot of schools have done that on

947
01:09:32,090 --> 01:09:35,550
their own. You definitely do that now. You have to turn your phone in or while they haven't

948
01:09:35,550 --> 01:09:42,090
teachers take away and get locked up. I know. It's not going to show each school, but I know that

949
01:09:42,090 --> 01:09:44,730
but in Garfield County, when I go over to Bryce Valley,

950
01:09:44,870 --> 01:09:47,050
they actually have signs of the same no phone zone.

951
01:09:47,330 --> 01:09:50,310
So I think in some areas, the kids could use them

952
01:09:50,310 --> 01:09:52,230
like on lunch breaks, but then in classrooms,

953
01:09:52,530 --> 01:09:54,210
either they turn them in in little pouches

954
01:09:54,210 --> 01:09:55,830
or have different ways of collecting them.

955
01:09:57,090 --> 01:09:59,350
But I do believe, and I know they were trying to pass

956
01:09:59,350 --> 01:10:02,130
statewide no phones in school at all.

957
01:10:02,730 --> 01:10:06,890
So I haven't really followed up any of them, so.

958
01:10:07,650 --> 01:10:09,270
But again, we're seeing the same correlation

959
01:10:09,270 --> 01:10:14,370
between all three of these substances that we primarily track.

960
01:10:15,030 --> 01:10:15,990
So next slide please.

961
01:10:17,230 --> 01:10:23,750
So good news is that with depressive symptoms, so moderate depressive symptoms, even though

962
01:10:23,750 --> 01:10:30,370
it's over 50% of students are reporting depressive symptoms, it is down from 69% in 2023.

963
01:10:30,370 --> 01:10:33,490
three. So that's some good news on that.

964
01:10:35,730 --> 01:10:40,570
Next slide. Students that felt sad or hopeless

965
01:10:40,570 --> 01:10:46,850
in the last two weeks in a row were also seeing a decrease in that. So that's also some

966
01:10:46,850 --> 01:10:53,630
good news there. But in the past we've actually seen a lot of increases in these mental health

967
01:10:53,630 --> 01:11:01,450
issues at lowliness or depressive so that's that's good news as well. Next slide. So marijuana

968
01:11:01,450 --> 01:11:08,050
and mental health so the dark blue bar shows the percentage of kids who say that sometimes they

969
01:11:08,050 --> 01:11:15,210
are no good or I'm a failure I don't think my life's worth anything and this dark blue is students

970
01:11:15,210 --> 01:11:23,390
who have not used marijuana in the last 30 days so you can see kids reporting that is quite

971
01:11:23,390 --> 01:11:29,710
significant, but then when you go to the next, we can see that the increase in youth

972
01:11:29,710 --> 01:11:34,150
that are reporting using Mary Wanda in the last 30 days and how they feel. So quite a

973
01:11:34,150 --> 01:11:40,310
significant increase when you look at substance use specifically with Mary Wanda and mental

974
01:11:40,310 --> 01:11:46,850
health, how much more they feel, feel that I'm no good, I'm a failure, and that mental health

975
01:11:46,850 --> 01:11:53,830
place into that next slide. And again, just more information. Students who are

976
01:11:53,830 --> 01:11:58,390
using marijuana also feel more depressed, sad in the past year, filled

977
01:11:58,390 --> 01:12:02,810
hopelessness in the last two weeks, and are a bigger increase in those that are

978
01:12:02,810 --> 01:12:10,010
seriously considering suicide. Okay, next slide. I'm not going to show this. This is

979
01:12:10,010 --> 01:12:15,950
just a little short video that was released a couple weeks ago just about

980
01:12:15,950 --> 01:12:22,990
depression, anxiety and marijuana use so we'll just go ahead and skip that because I know I probably have taken more time already

981
01:12:22,990 --> 01:12:32,050
even anticipated. And one of the last things that we kind of were already talking about was in the survey where my parents communicate their

982
01:12:32,050 --> 01:12:45,930
expectation of no drug use with me in the last or at least twice a year that we actually have 70% of kids are saying no my parents haven't

983
01:12:45,930 --> 01:12:51,150
working on, that is concerning because like I mentioned and the next line shows from

984
01:12:51,150 --> 01:12:56,010
this research study from Dr. Jessica, that the research is really clear, parents who

985
01:12:56,010 --> 01:13:01,090
have a consistent message of total accidents until it's legal, the child is going to less

986
01:13:01,090 --> 01:13:04,270
likely have substance use disorder over time in their lives.

987
01:13:04,630 --> 01:13:11,190
So that is something that we're working on on our coalitions in each individual area like

988
01:13:11,190 --> 01:13:16,470
overall it's showing that 77% in our counties but I know some of each of the individual

989
01:13:16,470 --> 01:13:21,530
coalitions are seeing some decreases in that that maybe are primarily putting a lot of focus so

990
01:13:22,150 --> 01:13:27,150
that's one of our focuses is getting our parents to talk to our kids we're doing parenting classes

991
01:13:27,150 --> 01:13:32,810
and parent nights and things like that in our communities so try to get that message across but

992
01:13:32,810 --> 01:13:38,370
and again like the parent surveys that I mentioned just kind of addressing why parents are talking

993
01:13:38,370 --> 01:13:46,050
to their kids in each individual areas where we're working on that as well, so that's all

994
01:13:46,050 --> 01:13:49,430
I have on that report, so thank you.

995
01:13:50,810 --> 01:13:53,850
Let me know if you have any questions that if anything that comes up, let me know and

996
01:13:53,850 --> 01:14:00,670
we can get that information to you, if I can do a deeper dive into some of the survey.

997
01:14:00,830 --> 01:14:05,110
And this is just a quick, just a quick run through if you want to, a lot of your local

998
01:14:05,110 --> 01:14:11,470
coalitions do a data presentation once the data comes out, so I know Beaver will probably

999
01:14:11,470 --> 01:14:12,150
be doing one.

1000
01:14:12,290 --> 01:14:16,130
I know we're planning one for Garfield County specifically, and Iron County in Washington

1001
01:14:16,130 --> 01:14:20,870
also have presentations coming up in the next month or so where you can be a part of that

1002
01:14:20,870 --> 01:14:27,170
and just hear for a good hour or so to sit deep or dive in your area specifically, what is

1003
01:14:27,170 --> 01:14:31,770
happening in your area, and so what are the coalitions and community folks doing to address

1004
01:14:31,770 --> 01:14:32,230
those?

1005
01:14:32,230 --> 01:14:33,790
So look for those opportunities.

1006
01:14:35,270 --> 01:14:36,630
Thank you, it's super helpful.

1007
01:14:37,110 --> 01:14:37,810
I appreciate your time.

1008
01:14:38,090 --> 01:14:39,150
Yeah, thanks for having me.

1009
01:14:40,830 --> 01:14:42,710
I wish we could get the information to better

1010
01:14:42,710 --> 01:14:43,830
the parents' sounds like it's not

1011
01:14:43,830 --> 01:14:45,290
talking to you because it's a much better thing to do.

1012
01:14:45,370 --> 01:14:47,550
I was like, quite bad for there.

1013
01:14:49,290 --> 01:14:49,650
OK.

1014
01:14:51,030 --> 01:14:53,110
My back to you, can you be any of your helpers?

1015
01:14:53,670 --> 01:14:54,270
Open a discussion.

1016
01:14:54,430 --> 01:14:55,070
Open a discussion.

1017
01:14:55,250 --> 01:14:59,030
This is where you have any questions from us.

1018
01:15:00,460 --> 01:15:02,400
Any discussion items you would like?

1019
01:15:09,140 --> 01:15:29,620
There was, I would like to request a close meeting for a possible litigation piece to kind of bring commission to the streets. Chair, I move that we go into executive closed session for the purpose of, um, imminent or reasonably, wait, ending or reasonably imminent litigation. Nice.

1020
01:15:29,620 --> 01:15:29,780
Yes.

1021
01:15:30,080 --> 01:15:30,660
Is it a good?

1022
01:15:31,120 --> 01:15:32,080
I motion a second.

1023
01:15:32,420 --> 01:15:32,860
All in favor?

1024
01:15:33,060 --> 01:15:33,760
Roll call, probably.

1025
01:15:34,980 --> 01:15:35,500
Hi.

1026
01:15:36,260 --> 01:15:37,260
To Mr. Taylor.

1027
01:15:37,640 --> 01:15:37,780
Hi.

1028
01:15:38,200 --> 01:15:38,980
Mr. Sean's here.

1029
01:15:39,300 --> 01:15:41,900
We're now in a closed session.

1030
01:15:42,180 --> 01:15:42,720
A closed session.

1031
01:15:43,140 --> 01:15:44,280
Let's make sure it's separate.

1032
01:15:44,600 --> 01:15:44,820
Yeah.
