We'll try to arrange that. You can't tour against people in there, right? No, we won't open it yet 364 00:25:37,140 --> 00:25:42,360 We'll just make sure we tour it before the board make it available before we actually open it 365 00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:49,300 Okay, so sometimes September and all of us keep you a price like that and see if there is interest and availability 366 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:50,760 Come through that 367 00:25:52,300 --> 00:25:56,780 But just like the tranquility presentation this morning. That's what this facility will be for me 368 00:25:56,780 --> 00:26:05,100 So it'll be right on site and as they're getting their lives back in order, this is really a convenience that's a necessity. 369 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,420 There's so much for them to do. 370 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:15,080 You know, the parole officers and the treatment and getting the jobs and even finding their next place of residence and everything. 371 00:26:15,300 --> 00:26:17,960 So this is going to be a real nice luxury and we really appreciate. 372 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:25,020 We've got a commission and the opiate settlement funding that's going to pay to this facility. 373 00:26:25,020 --> 00:26:27,420 So we're really excited about that. 374 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:37,860 One of my remaining priorities that's just always on my mind is this integrated physical health clinic. 375 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:50,840 I'm bringing it up this morning because coupled to this, if you've been paying attention to the news, there is a Medicaid shortfall in the state of Utah. 376 00:26:50,840 --> 00:27:20,780 and the reason is not real clear. There's several speculations, I know with some of the news reports that the governor and Tracy Gruber who is over VHHS has stated this was not a mismanagement of Medicaid in particular, but it was just a lot of factors that were not considered one of which that is the unwinding occurred from COVID. 377 00:27:20,780 --> 00:27:26,200 the people that were coming off Medicaid were the people that were really not using Medicaid. 378 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:32,100 And so there was not a huge high cost of Medicaid going out to those folks. 379 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,960 The ones that have always used it are still a lot of Medicaid. 380 00:27:36,340 --> 00:27:39,640 And so those costs really haven't decreased even with COVID. 381 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:47,840 There's that there's some high physical health payments that have gone out to Medicaid. 382 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,400 There's a lot of speculation right now. 383 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:57,240 I bring it up just to make sure that the board is informed about it that there is this 384 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,460 shortfall and it's somewhere between $100 and $200 million. 385 00:28:01,380 --> 00:28:02,820 So it's really huge. 386 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:08,120 There is some rainy day fund that has been set aside by the legislature more than likely 387 00:28:08,120 --> 00:28:13,780 that will be used, more than likely there will be some additional possible cuts to this. 388 00:28:13,780 --> 00:28:20,100 They're right now saying that there are no cuts to the services, but when you're talking 389 00:28:20,100 --> 00:28:23,940 $100 million, I don't know that they're going to be able to do the whole budget. 390 00:28:24,140 --> 00:28:25,480 And we'll see how what happens on that. 391 00:28:27,100 --> 00:28:34,060 There was some finger pointing in the hearings that behavioral health was the culprit. 392 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:40,380 I can assure you that we're one of the lower paid systems in Medicaid, even though we're 393 00:28:40,380 --> 00:28:41,120 still high. 394 00:28:41,340 --> 00:28:43,140 There's a lot of money that goes into behavioral health. 395 00:28:43,980 --> 00:28:47,600 So, it'll be really interesting to see how this kind of really unwinds. 396 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,420 I wanted the board to be aware of that in case you hadn't. 397 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:55,500 We don't know where the complete landing of this will be. 398 00:28:57,060 --> 00:29:04,220 But as I'm continuing to work on physical health reimbursement payments in our integrated 399 00:29:04,220 --> 00:29:07,860 clinic, I don't know that we're going to get a lot of movement. 400 00:29:08,060 --> 00:29:09,960 We haven't had movement for a decade anyway. 401 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:19,140 And as you know, we begin the services continues to be that one of those sites, there's a clinic in Salt Lake that does the same thing. 402 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:32,740 We both know that the care that is given to our mentally ill individuals is very, very good and it makes a big difference in their lives and in their recovery. 403 00:29:33,300 --> 00:29:36,660 So it continues to be a priority for us here at Weber Human Services. 404 00:29:37,380 --> 00:29:39,460 I just don't know how much movement we're going to get. 405 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:41,580 We've written a white paper on this. 406 00:29:42,780 --> 00:29:47,320 I'm going to continue to work on trying to get some legislative splotters ship out of it. 407 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:52,700 It's just not a good time with $100 million or $200 million cut and Medicaid. 408 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:59,780 So I kind of wanted to just put all that into a little package this morning as part of my report. 409 00:30:01,140 --> 00:30:28,560 I don't know if you have any questions about it. I don't know if we have a lot of answers about it. Is that the social services appropriations committee that work? Yeah. You've been in touch with the board. I have not been in touch with him, but I know he's the one that's chairing in well as the chair. He's probably one of the most sympathetic people in the legislature. We're lucky to have him there. I'm lucky to know that he's willing to stay in that position. 410 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,140 and communication with him, I think, is very helpful. 411 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,120 Yeah, and our system is definitely in communication with him, 412 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,200 with him being a physician, you're right. 413 00:30:37,500 --> 00:30:40,900 He's well-versed in mental health issues, physical health issues. 414 00:30:41,380 --> 00:30:42,100 Dictionary coverage. 415 00:30:42,340 --> 00:30:44,860 Women, yeah, women and children, yeah, addiction. 416 00:30:45,620 --> 00:30:48,840 Because he's a good person to have as a chair on that committee. 417 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:54,060 But we're interested in who's going to be the new senator president. 418 00:30:54,300 --> 00:30:54,820 I know what. 419 00:30:56,340 --> 00:31:02,800 Senator Bickers is interested in he's a pharmacist and he may have something I don't know 420 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:03,940 who the other can't do. 421 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:04,440 Hammer. 422 00:31:05,140 --> 00:31:05,700 Who? 423 00:31:06,140 --> 00:31:07,480 I think it's hammered. 424 00:31:08,100 --> 00:31:09,380 Is it he sold like? 425 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,080 I don't know where he is. 426 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:12,500 I know Bickers. 427 00:31:12,660 --> 00:31:13,240 Not up here. 428 00:31:13,860 --> 00:31:14,140 I know. 429 00:31:14,420 --> 00:31:15,780 Bickers is Iron County. 430 00:31:16,100 --> 00:31:21,640 You know, I was really hoping that Senator Sandal would be shooting. 431 00:31:21,860 --> 00:31:22,540 Oh, that'd be great. 432 00:31:22,540 --> 00:31:26,520 He's been very supportive of all the things we do here in Northern Utah. 433 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:28,120 Very influential. 434 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,160 I just like you, but it seems like he hasn't even thrown his name in. 435 00:31:31,580 --> 00:31:35,540 I think you'll see Johnson, our local Johnson on the top. 436 00:31:36,980 --> 00:31:41,610 You know, it's a majority or a way at birth, one of that. 437 00:31:42,550 --> 00:31:42,910 Really? 438 00:31:46,220 --> 00:31:47,360 I can help you there. 439 00:31:48,340 --> 00:31:48,620 Okay. 440 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:49,200 Good. 441 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,640 It's a juvenile delinquent, but I can help you. 442 00:31:54,650 --> 00:31:55,070 All right. 443 00:31:55,070 --> 00:31:57,910 I would be put that in the minutes. 444 00:32:01,830 --> 00:32:02,610 It's recorded. 445 00:32:05,620 --> 00:32:06,480 That's all I have. 446 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:08,800 There's no other questions about it. 447 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:10,780 Any questions, comments? 448 00:32:12,950 --> 00:32:15,990 All right, we'll stay on top of it as much as we can. 449 00:32:16,150 --> 00:32:17,930 I have just a few things for it. 450 00:32:20,540 --> 00:32:23,340 I don't know if Commissioner Forrest is still online. 451 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:28,560 He may want to comment, but we've been working for years, 452 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:37,240 literally years to try to find the right housing locations for through the 453 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:43,120 Weaver Housing Authority, and it's just I don't know I don't know I don't know how 454 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:49,280 Andy hasn't gone crazy. We had that experience last year with Austin City that 455 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:54,860 turned out to be pretty negative and we thought we had something all lined up in 456 00:32:54,860 --> 00:33:03,560 South Ogden. It was not required by the South Ogden City regulations for us to go to them. 457 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:13,970 We had a housing complex set up on Washington Boulevard, just south of 36th Street, close to bus 458 00:33:13,970 --> 00:33:21,430 transportation, all the other things that people need to get to the services. And it was that we had 459 00:33:21,430 --> 00:33:28,850 arrangements with the builder of the building, 25 unit complex, perfect place, it's not basically 460 00:33:28,850 --> 00:33:34,530 not in a neighborhood, it's right on Washington Boulevard, and we went to the South 461 00:33:34,530 --> 00:33:40,050 Army City Council and made a presentation in their work meeting, and there weren't very 462 00:33:40,050 --> 00:33:47,550 many of the council members there, but it was, we thought we'd done a pretty good job 463 00:33:47,550 --> 00:33:54,450 of that. And then we got a letter from Mayor Porter saying the council has chosen not 464 00:33:54,450 --> 00:34:01,230 to put it on their agenda. So another two years of work just going down the drain, I 465 00:34:01,230 --> 00:34:07,350 don't know what we're going to do. The cities, you know, it's this nimbidam thing and all 466 00:34:07,350 --> 00:34:11,530 of this miscommunication about we don't want that element here. We'll help. They're part 467 00:34:11,530 --> 00:34:17,890 of us, we are part of that element. And if we don't take care of the people who need 468 00:34:17,890 --> 00:34:20,290 that kind of help, I just, you know, 469 00:34:22,310 --> 00:34:26,530 yeah. This is big. Yes, go ahead, cage. Appreciate 470 00:34:26,530 --> 00:34:32,550 you bringing that up. Yeah, it was real discouraging, especially when we work with 471 00:34:33,450 --> 00:34:39,770 senior managers, our Logan City, prior to that for two or three months. It was 472 00:34:39,770 --> 00:34:47,070 allowed by zone and he indicated that there wouldn't be a problem but then it got to the point 473 00:34:47,070 --> 00:34:52,490 where it needed a resolution from the city council and that's when things went the other direction. 474 00:34:52,790 --> 00:35:01,130 So I told Andy out that we need to get some legislation in place that basically would say if it's 475 00:35:01,130 --> 00:35:09,790 allowed a P&A zone that the City Council resolution would not be required for this type 476 00:35:09,790 --> 00:35:15,690 of use. To me, that's the only way around. We're just going to begin the water for this 477 00:35:15,690 --> 00:35:22,750 type of housing in the future. And again, you say a lot of money, that's true, and that 478 00:35:22,750 --> 00:35:30,150 And that money's on state money for this intended purpose but now we'll go to some other 479 00:35:30,150 --> 00:35:35,830 cities or counties that understand the need for housing, but I don't think there's any 480 00:35:35,830 --> 00:35:39,390 better need than we have right here, a bigger need than we have right here in Wheeling County. 481 00:35:40,650 --> 00:35:44,290 So anyway, kind of a sad scenario. 482 00:35:44,290 --> 00:35:54,450 Do you recall that the board had the discussion here that when Ogden City kind of was vetoing 483 00:35:54,450 --> 00:36:01,470 that project that you just mentioned Bob, there was a consideration that maybe we used 484 00:36:01,470 --> 00:36:07,950 our center, mental health center here, to front that somehow, we didn't want to do that 485 00:36:07,950 --> 00:36:08,910 to the city. 486 00:36:09,730 --> 00:36:13,810 But after all this type of work that you're describing here, is that something that 487 00:36:13,810 --> 00:36:20,210 We don't want to consider again, as the mental health authority, we don't have to have 488 00:36:20,210 --> 00:36:23,510 the city's permission to do a housing unit. 489 00:36:25,910 --> 00:36:26,390 It 490 00:36:28,500 --> 00:36:33,200 really comes down to who's running the center, though, because it's going to be the housing authority. 491 00:36:33,260 --> 00:36:34,120 That's the hard part. 492 00:36:34,340 --> 00:36:35,780 They still need the... 493 00:36:35,780 --> 00:36:36,000 Yeah. 494 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:40,820 And it's all time to the definitions of their area of operation. 495 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,680 I just wondered if there's some way to do this, 496 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:50,040 because of all this hard work that goes into this and we don't want to cause 497 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:55,320 waves with the city but that's just terrible. All that work has been down the 498 00:36:55,320 --> 00:37:02,960 drain and and unless we get some legislation that passes you're going to keep 499 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:07,740 running into it. And what's sad is we didn't meet their permission but our own 500 00:37:07,740 --> 00:37:12,260 regulations told us we had to get permission and I don't know. 501 00:37:12,260 --> 00:37:12,760 Under 502 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:23,560 the that's under state law and the definitions that they have to have the permission of the local mean is palatable. 503 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:24,440 Yeah. 504 00:37:26,970 --> 00:37:29,390 Well, let's see, we're meeting next week aren't we good? 505 00:37:30,090 --> 00:37:30,750 Try this. 506 00:37:30,830 --> 00:37:33,250 Yeah, anyway, it's going to take some work. 507 00:37:33,850 --> 00:37:39,190 As you remember, you know, we talked about taking this to the housing authority. 508 00:37:39,190 --> 00:37:46,230 The Oregon City went to the legislature and actually had Wilcox open up a bill file that would take that 509 00:37:47,370 --> 00:37:55,270 section of code out and allow the housing to allow the Weaver Human Services to perform that 510 00:37:55,930 --> 00:37:59,630 operation within a, you know, four or with the housing available. 511 00:37:59,890 --> 00:38:00,050 Right. 512 00:38:00,330 --> 00:38:01,650 That didn't happen. 513 00:38:02,290 --> 00:38:04,210 I think that's what we're facing. 514 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:07,380 Thank you. 515 00:38:07,380 --> 00:38:09,620 Anyway, appreciate it. 516 00:38:09,780 --> 00:38:11,560 Thanks for all your work on a commissioner. 517 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:13,120 You're welcome. 518 00:38:14,610 --> 00:38:15,520 One other thing. 519 00:38:15,980 --> 00:38:17,240 This past week, 520 00:38:19,930 --> 00:38:21,810 and in previous weeks, 521 00:38:22,010 --> 00:38:26,150 we have a huge volunteer group here in Weber County 522 00:38:26,150 --> 00:38:29,370 that is supported by Weber Human Services. 523 00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:37,230 The most recent one was this week, and there are 400 RSVP 524 00:38:37,230 --> 00:38:46,230 The retired senior volunteer people who are working in museums, in the schools, in government 525 00:38:46,230 --> 00:38:52,070 offices, in all of the different agencies that support our community, there are 33 different 526 00:38:52,070 --> 00:38:53,590 stations where they work. 527 00:38:54,830 --> 00:38:59,810 And they were honored that the group was so big they had to have a lunch and form two different 528 00:38:59,810 --> 00:39:04,070 days that divided the group in half and had a lunch and two different days. 529 00:39:04,210 --> 00:39:05,990 I attended one of those two days. 530 00:39:05,990 --> 00:39:13,410 and thank you, Nobu. We were able to distribute some flyers, asking for volunteers on our 531 00:39:13,410 --> 00:39:20,090 tutor program in the schools. We need another 60 volunteers and the elderly people who are 532 00:39:20,090 --> 00:39:25,670 retired and who can consistently go into the schools and tutor those kids are just, they're 533 00:39:25,670 --> 00:39:31,610 amazing. They're like earth angels going into those schools. But that's just one of the things 534 00:39:31,610 --> 00:39:38,870 that, you know, Hiller Force Base Museum would not be able to operate without RSVP. 535 00:39:39,170 --> 00:39:41,230 That's how important those volunteers are. 536 00:39:42,550 --> 00:39:43,830 Union Station Museum. 537 00:39:45,130 --> 00:39:46,490 And that's just the museums. 538 00:39:46,990 --> 00:39:52,510 There are other organizations and government organizations that use these volunteers. 539 00:39:53,290 --> 00:39:55,170 I just wanted to tell a quick story. 540 00:39:55,330 --> 00:39:59,150 There's one of the people they honored on Wednesday 541 00:39:59,870 --> 00:40:06,870 is 99 years old. He still drives a little bit. I don't know if I want to be on the same 542 00:40:06,870 --> 00:40:13,790 street with him, but I'm talking home. Maybe I can do that when I'm 99 years old. I don't 543 00:40:13,790 --> 00:40:14,530 think we'll see. 544 00:40:16,790 --> 00:40:21,790 And I went up to him after the luncheon and I said, so what do you do? 545 00:40:21,950 --> 00:40:27,890 And he said, well, I don't just do one thing. He said, I go to Hillar Force Base Museum on 546 00:40:27,890 --> 00:40:33,770 on Thursdays and then I go to Union Station on Fridays and he's a volunteer, 99 years 547 00:40:33,770 --> 00:40:37,570 old helping people in those tours and that sort of thing. 548 00:40:38,470 --> 00:40:42,890 That's just representative of the kind of dedication we have and every year the funds 549 00:40:42,890 --> 00:40:48,190 get just a little tighter and a little tighter and I'm going to make sure we get that message 550 00:40:48,190 --> 00:40:56,230 to the legislature that without the volunteer help that comes from our nonprofit organizations 551 00:40:56,230 --> 00:41:03,770 government, government just wouldn't be as effective as it is, so that's absolutely true. 552 00:41:04,510 --> 00:41:12,710 And volunteers, that's critical, but just as we always look for matching funds or the 553 00:41:12,710 --> 00:41:18,850 legislature looks for matching funds before they do a project, maybe we could put together 554 00:41:18,850 --> 00:41:24,590 something where it's a gifter or a fund in kind because of this volunteerism. 555 00:41:24,590 --> 00:41:29,650 That would be my first point because there's a lot of money saved with volunteers and we've 556 00:41:29,650 --> 00:41:34,610 accounting per capita has more volunteers than any other county in the state of Utah. 557 00:41:35,090 --> 00:41:36,010 That's the first thing. 558 00:41:37,210 --> 00:41:44,570 Secondly, I also think it's good for the mental health of the seniors because it gives them 559 00:41:44,570 --> 00:41:45,510 something to do. 560 00:41:46,110 --> 00:41:50,230 We're having great experience in our culture parks and recreation department. 561 00:41:51,150 --> 00:41:59,420 people, for instance, we had an opening out at our archery center and we had many 562 00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:06,620 overqualified candidates who want to come and do groundwork because they like 563 00:42:06,620 --> 00:42:11,520 being out at the archery center. I thought the same thing when you were 564 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:16,140 talking about the Hill Arrow Space Museum, how many people, especially in that 565 00:42:16,140 --> 00:42:21,580 generation, loved or felt an attachment with that type of a thing. So we 566 00:42:21,580 --> 00:42:29,380 We have assets here that I think contribute back to that spirit of giving back, and 567 00:42:29,380 --> 00:42:33,740 volunteerism is critical in a community, that's absolutely critical. 568 00:42:33,980 --> 00:42:35,080 You're right about that, Bob. 569 00:42:35,380 --> 00:42:40,840 Of course you've always been right most things, some people accuse me of being too far left. 570 00:42:41,900 --> 00:42:47,180 Well now there is a little balance we have to keep, so okay. 571 00:42:47,180 --> 00:42:55,620 You talk about Weaver County being one of those largest organizations that we employ 572 00:42:55,620 --> 00:43:01,740 these 400 people, but Sherry mentioned that even nationally, they're gaining national 573 00:43:01,740 --> 00:43:07,120 recognition because they can't believe how effective the volunteer programs are working 574 00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:08,300 in this county. 575 00:43:09,340 --> 00:43:11,280 What else does she say about that? 576 00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:18,140 Well, part of it, and nobody does this, and part of it is the way we treat them. 577 00:43:19,180 --> 00:43:23,080 You know, those lunches were held up to remind, delicious lunch. 578 00:43:23,380 --> 00:43:26,640 I mean, it demonstrated how much we appreciate it. 579 00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:28,760 I kind of just want them out of box lunch. 580 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:33,420 We had salmon and chicken, and it was very, very nice. 581 00:43:33,420 --> 00:43:41,740 Each volunteer don't know each other and it's good opportunity to be together to kind of exchange information 582 00:43:41,740 --> 00:43:48,000 which what you do, you know, that's the real important and we are the big champion for 583 00:43:48,540 --> 00:43:56,020 non-profit government organizations, volunteers, both. That's the kind of our main point for RSVP. 584 00:43:56,840 --> 00:44:02,180 For profit organizations like Hospice, Home Health, they're also looking for volunteers. 585 00:44:02,180 --> 00:44:05,820 But we don't think what I'm here to vote for the orientation. 586 00:44:06,240 --> 00:44:09,100 We have big support champions for the government. 587 00:44:09,300 --> 00:44:09,440 Good. 588 00:44:10,900 --> 00:44:14,280 And a lot of these people were recognized in 5-year increments. 589 00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:17,100 All the way up to 25 years they've been doing this. 590 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:22,600 There was a long time for these volunteers to 25 years. 591 00:44:23,240 --> 00:44:24,860 I didn't go with that particular one. 592 00:44:25,140 --> 00:44:26,620 And all day she said, oh, there were some. 593 00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,220 There were several over 20 years this time, right? 594 00:44:29,220 --> 00:44:31,600 Did we have on the 25th or so? 595 00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:32,660 25 years. 596 00:44:32,860 --> 00:44:33,020 Yeah. 597 00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:36,140 Anyway, thanks for what you do. 598 00:44:36,620 --> 00:44:38,220 Thanks for human human service. 599 00:44:39,300 --> 00:44:40,180 Glad you brought that up. 600 00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,600 I actually had that on my list, and I didn't 601 00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:46,200 transferred to my notes, so glad you brought it up. 602 00:44:46,740 --> 00:44:49,380 Any other comments from board members or questions? 603 00:44:51,980 --> 00:44:52,960 If not, thank you. 604 00:44:54,820 --> 00:44:55,480 Thank you all. 605 00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:57,280 We have a motion. 606 00:44:57,340 --> 00:44:58,320 Motion to adjourn. 607 00:44:59,240 --> 00:44:59,640 Second. 608 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,520 All in favor?
