B
B
C
So
good
morning,
everybody
and
thank
you
for
having
us
here
this
morning:
I'm
Dana
lassenby,
the
CEO
for
Oakland
Community,
Health,
Network
and
I
have
with
you
Adam
ginobi.
He
is
our
team
operating
officer
and,
of
course,
I
think
most
of
you
know
Christine
Burke,
who
is
our
chief
chief
of
staff.
We
want
to
come
today
and
just
give
you
a
high
level
overview
of
our
services
and
supports.
We
also
wanted
to
thank
you
for
your
support
over
the
past
it'll
be
three
years
I've
been
here.
C
August
yeah
time
flies
all
right,
but
we
wanted
to
thank
you
because
we
know
those
Partnerships
and
the
commitment
you
have
to
the
citizens
of
Oakland.
County
really
has
benefited
the
community
and
we
want
to
continue
in
our
work
together.
So
I'm
going
to
do
a
high
level
go
through
right,
but
I
think
you
all
are
very
very
familiar
with
what
we're
doing
now.
I
hope
our
work
is
is
getting
to
the
public
as
much
as
we
can,
because
we
know
that's.
C
Our
role
is
really
to
help
the
most
vulnerable
citizens
of
this
community,
so
I'm
working,
this
I
think.
Okay,
so
I
think
you
all
know
we're
the
public
mental
health
system
or
Behavioral
Health
System,
and
what
that
means
is
that
we
provide
services
for
individuals
who
are
primarily
Medicaid
or
uninsured
and
individuals
with
mental
illness.
C
Individuals
who
have
intellectual
or
developmental
disability,
autism,
substance
use
disorder
and
anyone
in
between
we're
very
focused
on
integrated
care
and
integrated
care
for
me,
and
my
team
is
really
about
looking
at
the
social
determinants
of
health,
so
it
means
housing,
food
security,
Transportation,
education,
job
training,
working
with
the
criminal
justice
system
and
our
Justice
initiatives.
It's
really
the
whole
health
of
the
individual
in
the
community
with
their
families.
C
So
we
talk
about
integrative
care
and
I
think
sometimes
people
think
about
integrated
care
in
a
way
of
funding
and
some
people
think
about
it
in
a
way
of
physical
health
and
Behavioral
Health.
But
when
we
think
about
it
at
the
community
home,
we
think
about
it
as
a
holistic,
health
of
the
person
and
their
family.
C
C
So
here
are
strategic,
Focus
areas
and
I
like
to
put
them
in
simple
language,
but
I
also
follow
our
strategic
plans,
really
we're
talking
about
Staffing
and
retention.
I
know
we
have
a
huge
crisis,
Workforce
crisis
in
our
community
and
across
the
state
and
across
the
country,
especially
as
it
relates
to
the
services
and
supports
that
we
provide
so
we're
really
focused
on
how
we
keep
a
well-trained
qualified
Workforce,
but
also
how
we
retain
and
recruit
those
individuals
that
they'll
want
to
stay,
be
trained
and
work
in
Oakland
County.
C
The
other
thing
is
looking
at
a
quality
system
of
care,
so
we
know
that
we're
not
a
perfect
system
but
we're
working
on
ways
to
continually
make
improvements
to
our
system
and
have
good
outcomes
for
people.
So
we
use
service
models
a
lot
with
our
providers,
but
what
I'm
finding
is?
We
need
to
look
closely
at
outcomes,
so
you
can
provide
a
service
right.
C
We
want
people
to
engage
safely,
be
happy
in
the
community
and
have
the
things
that
they
need
that
any
one
of
us
around
this
table
would
need
so
the
other
thing
is
Administrative
and
Service
delivery.
Again,
looking
at
our
Network
providers,
we
have
over
300,
and
these
are
various
providers
who
do
outpatient,
work,
inpatient,
Services,
Residential,
Services,
vocational
Services,
jail
Services
crisis
services.
So
we
have
a
huge
system
of
care
right.
We
also
want
to
look
at
the
quality
of
work
that
they're
doing
and
making
sure
that
what
we
are
saying
we're
going
to
do.
C
We
actually
provide
so
that's
very
critical
to
us
and
then
looking
at
how
we
manage
internally,
as
well
as
externally,
with
working
with
our
partners,
is
very
critical
and
working.
What
our
partners
means
our
providers,
our
and
really
the
people
we
serve.
We
do
a
lot
of
data
collection
and
looking
at
heat
maps
and
seeing
where
the
need
is
in
our
community,
and
we
even
have
some
ideas
on
how
we
can
do
that
better.
Finally,
integrated
Healthcare
I
think
I
addressed
that
and
in
our
partners.
C
So
here,
oh
multitasking,
so
here
we
have.
What
do
we
do
in
our
community?
So
we
have
a
care
safety
net
and
we
are
responsible
for
that
safety
net
and
that
improves
crisis
services.
So
we
have,
of
course,
our
contract
with
common
ground
who
provides
crisis
service
within
a
facility.
They
also
have
prices.
Mobile
crisis
teams
and
I
have
to
admit
our
mobile
crisis
teams
aren't
doing
enough
because
we
don't
have
again
the
great
Staffing
to
make
sure
that
those
services
are
available
as
much
as
they
should
be.
C
So
the
other
thing
we
have
a
crisis
stabilization
unit
for
adults,
which
is
a
16
bed
unit
that
can
have
people
there
for
up
to
five
ten
days,
and
that
is
an
alternative
to
inpatient
hospitalization.
So
these
are
individuals
that
are
voluntarily
going
into
residential
sort
of
residential
setting
so
that
they
can
receive
the
services
and
supports
that
they
need,
and
we
consider
it
almost
the
diversion
from
being
an
inpatient
care.
The
other
services
we
have
are
I
think
you're,
aware
of
our
crisis
stabilization
unit.
C
People
can
stay
for
up
to
72
hours
before
they're,
diverted
to
another
level
of
care
or
actually
receive
services
so
that
they
can
go
home
and
engage
with
an
outpatient
provider.
We
also
have
the
sober
support
unit
there,
which
is
very
unique
to
Oakland
County.
A
lot
of
other
counties
are
trying
to
mirror
the
sober
support
unit.
C
We
had
a
soft
opening
last
year,
but
this
year
we
are
operating
and
we're
not
quite
a
full
capacity
again
we're
seeing
some
of
the
challenges
that
the
regular
Workforce
is
seeing
and
making
sure
that
we
have
the
right
people
there
to
support
our
families
and
youth
when
they
come
there.
They
we
serve
you
from
I
think
about
12
to
17,
and
we
also
are
able
to
connect
children
and
families
to
services
from
that
unit.
C
The
great
thing
about
that
is,
we
keep
getting
people
out
of
the
Ed,
we're
hopefully
diverting
families
and
children
are
you
from
going
to
the
Eds,
which
we
know
when
they're
in
Ed
they're
just
sitting
and
waiting
they're,
not
actually
starting
services?
Oh
I'm,
sorry,
emergency
department
or
emergency
room?
Okay?
Yes,
yes,
so
yeah,
we
talking
a
lot
a
little
acronyms.
The
other
thing
about
that
is,
it
is
also
a
receiving
area
in
terms
of
screening
and
assessments.
C
So,
even
if
the
child
or
the
family
is
not
in
crisis,
they
can
come
there
and
be
connected
to
those
services
and
supports,
and
it's
really
a
warm
handoff,
as
opposed
to
you
know,
sitting
on
the
phone
and
waiting
for
an
appointment
and
those
things.
So
we
just
need
to
get
the
word
out
that
we're
open
and
ready
to
serve.
We've
had
quite
a
few
State
reps
and
senators
and
other
people
who
are
concerned
about
the
level
of
care.
C
We
provide
not
just
us
the
entire
State
coming
to
tour,
Our,
Youth
and
Family
Care
Connection
Center,
because
it's
one
of
it's,
the
only
one
that
we
are
aware
of
in
the
state
of
Michigan,
and
so
the
director
of
the
state
actually
came
director
Elizabeth
Hertel,
and
she
was
very
proud
that
we
had
this
Center
and
once
she
knew
we
were
up
and
running.
Of
course,
we're
going
to
get
a
lot
more
people
interested,
and
so
we
know
we
need
more
than
those
places.
C
We
got
this
through
a
Santa
Grant
and
we
know
that
they'll
be
ending,
so
we
were
looking
and
working
with
the
state
to
make
sure
that
we
can
continue
to
fund
the
services
and
supports
that
are
provided
there,
Community
collaborations,
which
you
all
know
very
well
of
course,
that
we're
working
with
you
on
several
different
initiatives
that
we
are
very
proud
of
the
school
mental
health
Navigators
the
Oxford
benefit
the
CIT
Crisis
Intervention
team
training,
co-responders,
which
we
know
we
need
an
expansion
too,
and
so
we're
doing
what
we
can
to
fill
in
gaps.
C
So
when
we
do
our
annual
needs
assessment,
it
is
really
looking
for
those
services
and
supports
that
should
be
available
and
are
not,
especially
as
it
relates
to
our
crisis.
Continual
care
we
are
also
are
working
with
our
hospitals.
One
of
the
things
I
noticed
when
I
started
is
that
we
had
a
lot
of
individuals
waiting
in
emergency
departments,
weighty
beyond
the
typical
time
frames
that
they
should
wait.
So
no
one
should
really
sit
in
the
Ed
more
than
23
hours.
C
So
at
that
point
we
have
Hospital
liaison
that
engage
and
work
with
our
Hospital
Partners
to
make
sure
that
we're
finding
out
what
are
the
barriers
to
care
and
actually
going
there
to
help
and
trying
to
resolve
those
issues
and
get
the
person
moved
as
quickly
as
possible.
So
that
is
something
that
we
definitely
have
expanded
on.
C
We
actually
hired
three
more
Hospital
Liaisons,
because
we
know
that
that
relationship
building
and
going
into
the
hospitals
and
knowing
the
individuals
that
work
there
really
does
help
to
build
those
relationships
so
that
you
can
get
people
where
they
need
to
be
so
they
can
begin
their
treatment
and
care,
and
it
also
helps
with
diversions
in
terms
of
if
a
person
can
have
a
lesser
level
of
care
or
are
less
restricted
level.
Here
we
want
to
make
sure
that
those
options
are
available
to
those
families
and
to
those
individuals
we
served.
C
We
also
want
to
make
sure
that
they're
linked
to
their
provider
if
they
have
one
and
if
they
don't
making
sure
that
they
get
that
warm
handoff
or
that
warm
engagement
with
the
provider
so
that
they
can
begin
the
services
and
supports
that
they
need
immediately
our
Justice
initiatives.
I
won't
spend
a
lot
of
time
on
that.
I
hope
you
all
are
aware
of
those.
C
We
do
have
information
available
for
you
on
our
crisis
intervention
team
trainings,
which
is
a
40-hour
training
with
our
law
enforcement
Partners
to
date,
we've
trained
over
a
thousand
or
more
officers
in
open
County.
We
also
have
our
co-responders
that
are
really
ride
along
to
the
police
officers.
These
are
mental
health
professionals
that
will
work
and
help
to
to
what's
the
word
I'm
looking
for
just
to
relieve
the
situation.
C
So,
if
an
individual
is
having
a
mental
health
crisis
or
psychiatric
crisis,
they
actually
can
get
the
services
and
supports
they
need,
as
opposed
to
being
arrested
and
taken
to
jail.
So
we
also
are
proud
to
say
we're
sponsoring
a
dog
our
care.
What
do
they
call
our
comfort,
Comfort
canine?
Thank
you
and
we
have
little
hope
for
the
dog
that
we
actually
sponsored
with
the
sheriff's
department
and
it's
getting
rave
reviews
everywhere.
This
little
hope
and
her
team
goes
is
such
a
great
moment
to
see
people
really.
C
Even
if
you
have
the
dog
in
the
room
right
now,
we
would
all
be
paying
attention
to
the
Rock.
What
I
have
to
say
would
be
mean
nothing.
So
it's
been
very
good
in
going
throughout
the
community,
Through
schools
and
and
in
employment
situations
anywhere.
There's
stress
they've
been
caught
on
to
bring
this
Comfort
canine
our
little
hope
to
the
different
various
partners
as
we
have,
and
whenever
they're
calling
we
actually
don't
get
involved
in
the
details.
We
let
the
Sheriff's
Office
decide
and
go
where
they
need
and
where
they're
called.
C
Finally,
a
Youth
and
Family
Focus
I
think
when
I
talk
about
a
system
of
care,
that's
one
of
the
things
that
is
really
critical,
because
we
often
see
families
showing
up
and
they're
concern
about
not
having
certain
levels
of
care,
and
we
know
that's
an
issue
that
needs
to
be
addressed.
But
it's
multifaceted.
It's
not
something
that
we
can
address
with
one
quick
answer:
there
were
guess
what
I
would
definitely
find
it
and
try
to
put
it
in
place,
and
our
team
is
dedicated
to
working
on
that.
So
we
have
individual
families
that
you
know.
C
We
work
with
our
providers
to
make
sure
that
they're
getting
the
services
and
supports.
We
need
and
again
we're
not
perfect
in
doing
that.
But
it's
something
we
continually
work
on
in
terms
of
providing
support
and
technical
assistance,
making
sure
that,
what's
going
on
with
the
families
that
we've
exhausted
all
sources
at
this
level
and
if
we
don't
and
when
we
do-
and
we
still
need
an
answer-
we
go
to
the
state,
and
so
the
state
is
there
to
provide
technical
assistance
and
support
to
us,
but
also
to
keep
us
accountable.
C
Because
my
belief
is
that
we
have
to
be
accountable
to
each
other.
I
have
to
be
accountable
to
the
community
and
people
we're
responsible
for,
but
we
also
have
to
hold
our
staff
and
our
Community
Partners
accountable
as
well,
and
school
Partnerships
we're
very
proud
of
the
school
Partnerships
and
in
fact,
I
do
want
to
brag
a
little
bit.
Our
chief
medical
officer
is
actually
the
American
Psychiatric
association
chair
board
and
trustee.
C
There
he's
a
speaker
which
is
a
very
high
level
position,
but
it
also
affords
us
resources
at
a
national
level
and
in
fact
we
have
some
school
training
that
we're
being
supported
and
providing
to
some
of
the
schools
that
are
willing
to
participate
with
us
called
notice.
Talk
act,
we're
doing
it
with
several
different
districts
and
we
are
looking
for
more
Partners
to
do
the
school
training.
Mental
Health
Training
is
actually
for
the
students
and
the
staff,
but
it's
also
they're
doing
it
in
work.
Hard
environments
as
well.
C
The
other
part
of
this
great
relationship
is,
we
went
for
a
fellowship,
A
diversity,
Fellowship.
It
was
important
that
we
have
people
in
the
community
that
look
like
the
people
we
serve,
and
so,
when
we
went
for
this
Fellowship
we
were
actually
given
three.
So
we're
excited
to
say
that
they'll
be
starting
in
September,
so
we
have
three
fellows
that
will
are
actually
Psychiatry
fellows
that
will
be
working
in
our
community
and
our
hope
is
that
we
can
keep
them
and
encourage
them
to
work
and
stay
in
this
community.
C
So
I
will
move
on
and
we
already
talked
about
our
food
for
clinical
and
law
enforcement
poll,
responder
programs
and
if
you'll
see,
we've
provided
services
to
1640
people,
increases
and
they've
received
referrals,
and
the
great
thing
about
our
co-responders
is
that
they
stick
with
the
individual
until
they
are
connected
to
services,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that's
a
critical
part
of
this
and
if
they
choose
not
to
stay
connected
or
don't
want
to
work
with
us,
that's
one
thing,
but
we
make
sure
that
we
connect
them.
Thank
you.
C
So
much
I
talk
a
lot.
So
excuse
me,
thank
you.
So
right
now
we
have
co-responders
in
Auburn,
Hills,
Birmingham,
Bloomfield,
Township,
Pontiac,
Rochester
and
Troy.
So
our
hope
is
that
we
can
get
additional
support,
so
we
can
extend
it
across
accounting
because
we
do
see
that
it's
working,
and
so
we
have
data
that
shows
that
it's
working
well
and
training
ongoing
training
is
critical.
C
So
the
crisis
intervention
team
training
is
another
proud
program
that
we
have
and
we
work
together
on
and
our
RCC
already
talked
about
that
RCC.
What
is
unique
about
the
RCC
and
Common
Ground
is
that
there
is
a
drop-off
station
so
that
when
law
enforcement
comes
in
con
contact
with
somebody
who
needs
mental
health
services,
they
don't
have
to
take
them
to
jail.
They
can
drop
them
off
at
common
ground.
There's
a
section
specifically
for
the
ambulance
drivers
as
well
as
police
officers.
A
lot
of
folks
don't
know
that.
B
C
We
want
to
say
that
our
children
can
go
there.
Are
you
our
juveniles
can
go
there,
but
our
hope
is
that
we
can
build
on
that
and
make
sure
we
keep
it
separate
because
we
want
to
keep
our
children
safe.
We
don't
want
them
to
walk
through
the
area
where
we
have
adults
being
discerned
our
school
mental
health,
Navigators
I've
already
talked
ahead
of
myself.
C
I
won't
go
into
any
details
on
that,
but
it
is
working
and
we
have
out
of
the
Oakland
County
Schools
work
with
398
schools
out
of
the
458
schools
that
we
have
so
we're
continuing
to
work
and
grow
that
program
so
that
they're
just
not
doing
presentations
they're,
actually
engaging
with
individual
families
who
have
a
need-
and
they
can
do
that
now,
but
we're
not
seeing
that
pick
up
as
quickly
as
we
would
like
it
to
so.
C
I
already
talked
about
Our
Youth
and
Family
Care
Connect,
17
years
of
age,
up
to
72
hours
and
people
often
ask
what
happens
after
72
hours,
and
you
don't
have
an
identify.
We
can
extend
that
time.
We
also
don't
necessarily
want
to.
We
want
individuals
to
keep
moving
to
get
to
the
best
level
of
care
that
they
can
get
to,
and
so
72
hours
is
is
rare,
more
than
70
times,
I
should
say
so
when
that
happens.
We
know
that
this
is
a
critical
need
that
the
family
or
the
youth
may
have.
C
We
want
to
work
more
closely
with
them
to
make
sure
they
get
connected
and
the
other
thing
about
this,
our
system.
Actually,
we
have
our
partners
with
Easter
seal.
We
actually
extended
our
network
of
children's
providers
because
our
partner
Easter
seal
says
that
they
are
at
capacity.
So
we
don't
want
to
get
into
a
situation
where
families
are
waiting
longer
to
engage
because
that
hurts
the
other
side.
C
So
we
talked
about
the
Oxford
school
mental
health
funding
assistance
and
what
we
found
is
a
lot
of
families
weren't,
taking
advantage
of
this
program
as
much
as
we
wanted
or
as
well
as
school
mental
health
Navigator
program.
So
we
had
to
tweak
some
of
the
requirements
and
criteria
I
think
initially,
we
were
probably
asking
for
too
much
information
to
find
that
people
were
eligible
and
people
were
a
little
hesitant
about
giving
all
of
this
information.
C
So
we
looked
at
that
and
we
wanted
to
open
it
up
because
we
know
this
is
a
valuable
resource
for
families
to
have
so
we
are
at
a
safety
net
and
we
again
have
a
crisis
response
and
the
deployment
with
our
partners,
and
even
we
had
a
deployment
of
our
system
team,
which
is
Crisis
Intervention
stability,
Stress
Management.
Thank
you.
C
This
is
something
that
we
saw
a
need
for
and
we
wanted
to
grow
in
that
area,
especially
after
we
saw
the
need
increase
so
much
after
the
pandemic,
but
also
with
the
Oxford
tragedy
and
those
things
we
needed
to
do
more
than
just
take
care
of
our
kids
and
the
families
in
the
community.
We
also
needed
to
take
care
of
the
people
who
are
taking
care
of
our
kids
and
the
families
in
the
community
as
well,
so
we
wanted
to
go
in
and
we
noticed
that
you
know
it's
like.
C
You
can't
heal
yourself
right
and
we
saw
the
dedication
of
teachers
and
school
administrators
really
being
a
part
of
the
solution,
which
is
great,
but
they
were
still
struggling
with
their
own
trauma
response
to
what
was
going
on.
So
we
wanted
to
create
these
teams
that
are
trained
and
able
to
go
in
certain
situations
and
support
the
employers
or
the
teachers,
administrators
or
whatever
situation
it
may
be
if
we're
caught,
and
we
often
hear
about
things
on
the
news
and
things
of
that
nature.
C
So
the
other
things
are
about
the
contacts
we
have
specifically
related
to
the
Oxford
benefit
and
then
the
email
contacts
that
we
get
asking
for
supports
and
services,
and
sometimes
just
information,
and
so
we're
sharing
information
with
schools
and
working
with
them.
We
know
our
partners,
our
providers
are
in
the
schools,
which
is
great,
but
it's
not
enough
of
us
to
go
around.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
every
school
in
the
Oakland
County
has
at
least
a
connection
to
those
needed.
C
Behavioral
Health,
Mental,
Health,
Services
hospitalization,
is
a
big
deal,
so
we
spent
a
lot
on
hospitalization
and
a
lot
of
the
money
is
matched
by
the
state.
But
we
also
know
that,
through
our
work
with
the
community,
there
is
a
greater
need
and
certain
areas
have
a
bigger
need
than
others.
And
so
we
want
to
have
a
bigger
presence
in
terms
of
looking
at
even
looking
at
a
region.
Oakland
County
and
breaking
it
up
into
four
areas,
so
we
could
specifically
address
the
needs
in
those
areas.
So
we
know
in
southern
Oakland
County.
C
We
have
a
lot
of
resources
right,
but
in
northern
part
of
Oakland
County
we
see
because
of
the
geographic
spacing
of
things
we
may
need
to
add
more
mobile
teams
and
other
things,
so
we
can
be
responsive
to
the
need
and
also
looking
at
our
partners.
We've
also
worked
so
closely
with
Oakland
County
Health
Department
I,
see
my
little
partner
in
crime
over
there.
That
we
realize
working
together
is
better
because
we're
able
to
work
with
hospitals
and
say
how
can
we
help
support
what's
going
on
in
this
particular
community?
C
And
so
just
like,
we
responded
to
other
tragedies
and
events.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
leaving
any
Community
out
and
I
see
that
it's
the
range.
So
when
we
have
these
huge
things
that
happen
that
are
really
bad,
but
sometimes
just
little
things,
and
if
you
promise
to
be
the
safety
net,
you
have
to
go
to
where
we're
needed,
and
so
we
are
making
a
committed
effort
to
work
with
our
non-traditional.
C
Partners,
like
a
family,
empowerment
in
Pontiac
and
other
entities
to
make
sure
that
they
know
who
we
are
so
when
they
see
people
more
than
we
do
like
the
faith-based
community.
They
see
people
more
than
we
do.
They
have
the
information
to
pass
it
out
and
give
to
the
people
they
serve
and
they
help
so
that's
very
critical
to
what
we
do
in
getting
the
word
out.
C
If
you
notice
any
of
our
business
cards
even
of
our
board
members
on
the
back
of
our
cars,
we
all
have
crisis
information
who
to
call
when
you
want
to
access
services
and
supports.
We
now
have
church
fans.
I
grew
up
on
church
fans
right,
so
we
have
our
access
information
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
want
to
do
based
on
those
four
quadrants
or
areas,
is
have
just
resources
specific
to
those
areas.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
great
things
that
we're
trying
to
do.
C
We
just
have
to
make
sure
we
have
the
resources
to
continue
on
and
to
build
on
some
of
those
things,
and
so
our
our
plan
is
also
to
look
at
those
low-hanging.
Fruits
is
what
I
call
it:
those
things
that
are
really
no
cost
and
just
as
an
added
benefit
to
people,
we
come
in
contact
with
people.
We
serve.
C
Okay,
our
budget-
this
is
the
Hot
Topic
of
the
moment
right.
So
our
budget-
and
this
is
what
we
received
back
in
1999-
was
one
188
million
dollars.
Now
our
budget
is
442.7
million
dollars,
but
we've
grown
and
we
do
more
with
what
we
have
and
since
1999
our
budget
or
our
receipt
from
you
has
been
the
same
9.6
million.
So
we
wanted
to
talk
about.
How
do
we,
and
even
the
board,
is
encouraging
us
to
come
to
you
and
have
this
conversation
about?
How
do
we
increase
that
amount?
C
But
we
also
wanted
to
talk
to
you
and
not
come
up
with
this
big
proposal,
but
really
get
your
feedback
on
how
you
see
us
working
better
together
and
funding
is
a
big
part
of
that,
but
we
want
to
more.
But
of
course,
Staffing
is
always
an
issue.
How
do
we
work
together
to
make
sure
that
we're
addressing
the
increased
need
of
the
community
so
we're
in
the
schools
we're
in
working
with
a
faith-based
community,
we're
working
with
neighborhood
entities
we're
working
with
law
enforcement?
C
So
we
really
didn't
want
to
just
come
here
and
say:
look
you
haven't
given
us
an
increase
since
1999,
but
we
just
wanted
to
show
that
in
working
together
and
the
support
that
you've
provided
through
other
programs,
it
is
working.
Is
it
perfect?
No,
we,
we
know
we're
not
a
perfect
system,
but
none
of
us
are
so
we're
really
trying
to
build
on
our
successes
and
then
look
at
what
I
would
call
some
of
our
inefficiencies
and
really
directly
answering
and
responding
to
those
needs
that
we
have
internally
and
working
with
our
partners.
C
So
that's
really
important.
Sometimes
it's
a
hard
conversation
to
come
and
say:
hey,
we
need
money.
Well,
we
also
want
to
show
we're
doing
the
work
and
so
in
doing
the
work.
Those
conversations
get
to
be
and
the
work
is
to
be
everybody's,
not
happy,
but
you
have
to
do
what's
right
for
the
people
we
serve
and
that's
first
and
foremost,
so
with
that
I
think
I'll,
stop
I.
Think
I
should
hopefully
I
didn't
go
over
my
time.
Thank.
B
C
Okay,
let
me
see,
let
me
see
two
or
three
TTI,
which
is
treatment
and
training.
Innovations
Easter,
Seals,
Easter
Seals
is
already
a
provider.
These
are
additional,
so
the
what
is
it
hagera
hell
and,
of
course,
ofs
is
expanding
and
I
can't
remember
the
fifth
one.
B
C
Care
workers,
we
know,
are
our
real
Healthcare
Heroes.
They
sat
with
people
and
served
people
during
the
entire
pandemic,
and
even
when
some
of
the
individuals
had
to
go
to
a
hospital
unit,
they
actually
went
with
them
on
the
unit
to
support.
So
our
direct
care
workers
are
first
and
foremost,
and
they
are
the
most
underpaid
like
School
teachers.
C
They
are
underpaid,
but
they
do
a
whole
lot
to
really
support
what
we
do,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
we
maybe
ask
around
the
room
who,
in
this
room
ever
worked
as
a
direct
care
worker.
So
that's
one
of
the
things
that
we're
talking
about
with
our
our
providers
and
the
communities
like.
Let's
talk
about
a
career
path
like
we
have
for
nursing
assistants
or
paraprofessionals
or
other
Health
Care
Professionals.
This
could
be
a
starting
position
and
way
to
get
experience
to
go
further.
C
So
I
know,
I
worked
as
a
direct
care
worker
in
a
hospital
and
a
residential
setting
and
I
know
when
I
started
working
from
work
20
years
ago,
I
actually
had
to
work
in
a
home
for
two
months,
I
mean
I'm.
Sorry,
two
weeks
before
I
actually
went
out
and
worked
in
my
regular
position,
so
we
want
to
expose
people
to
the
job.
It
is
not
easy
work,
it
is
challenging
work,
but
it's
very
rewarding.
C
So
that's
one
thing
is
really
talking
about
what
do
direct
service
professionals
or
direct
care
workers
do
and
exposing
them
we're?
Also
looking
at
students
and
internships,
we
have
a
partnership
with
Oakland
University
and
some
of
the
other
universities
to
really
go
to
their
job
fairs
or
their
Career
Fairs
and
make
sure
we're
telling
them
about
opportunities
around
County.
The
other
thing
that
we
deal
with
dark
care
workers
is,
we
did
a
rate
increase,
so
we
took
it
upon
ourselves
to
really
create
a
way
to
provide
a
two
dollar
increase.
C
C
So
that's
the
problem,
so
we've
hopefully
have
a
permanent
solution
with
the
state,
but
we're
not
quite
sure
because
you
can
put
it
in
the
annual
budget
to
do
an
increase,
but
unless
it's
changed
as
a
permanent
change,
it's
really
hard
to
maintain
and
sustain
that
without
proper
funding.
The
other
thing
is
looking
at
career
paths
for
not
just
for
our
mental
health
professionals.
Our
behavioral
health
professionals,
but
really
the
training
piece
is
critical,
because
we
have,
for
example,
our
serious
emotional
disturbance,
I
hate
that
description
option
of
children,
SED
waiver.
C
They
require
more
intensive
care
and
services
and
wrap
around
care
and
services
in
the
home
and
in
the
community.
The
issue
that
becomes
of
that
is
that
you
may
have
somebody
really
dedicated
to
doing
that
work,
but
it's
very
challenging
work.
They
need
a
higher
level
of
training,
so
we
need
to
be
able
to
provide
ongoing
training
at
a
higher
level,
almost
like
a
behaviorist
to
make
sure
that
the
person
is
equipped
and
ready
and
has
the
resources
to
support
the
child
when
they're
their
weakest
moment
for
the
families
that
their
most
trying
times.
C
That's
when
we
see
staff
leave
when
they
get
hit
or
call
out
their
name,
I
mean
this
is
a
difficult
job,
and
so,
even
with
all
the
tools
in
the
world,
sometimes
you
you
don't
know
what
to
do
right,
you're
in
the
midst
of
something.
So
we
really
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
creating
a
network
of
direct
care
workers
that
are
trained
and
ready
and
want
to
stay
into
the
work.
But
pay
is
a
big
thing.
Our
direct
career
workers
are
lowest
paid,
they
have
transportation
issues,
they
need
child
care.
C
If
you
want
to
come
to
work,
some
of
our
direct
care
workers
actually
stayed
in
the
home
with
covet
helping
other
people
who
live
there
with
Coleman.
So
that's
the
dedication
it
requires
for
someone
in
this
position,
so
it
almost
sounds
impossible,
but
we're
really
looking
at
ways
that
we
can
really
recruit
people
who
are
invested
in
doing
this
kind
of
work.
A
lot
of
students
who
are
studying
social
services
are
interested
and
then
sometimes
they
come
and
work
with
us
and
they're.
C
Like
oh
I,
don't
think
I
want
to
do
this
or
they're
so
passionate
and
they
love
it
so
much
they
stay.
So
that's
the
whole
idea
behind
it,
but
we
really
just
need
our
Workforce
overall
needs
to
be
a
training
ground
so
that
we're
continually
giving
people
the
tools
and
resources
that
we
need
I've
been
doing
this
30
years.
I,
don't
think
there's
in
one
year.
That's
the
same!
So
it's
a
constantly
changing
and
evolving
system,
and
it's
political.
C
So
when
your
leaders
change
some
of
the
rules,
change
so
keeping
up
with
that
kind
of
thing,
and
we
don't
want
our
direct
care
workers
and
our
teachers
and
other
folks
have
to
worry
about
it.
We
want
to
provide
the
resources
and
tools,
so
they
can
do
it
and
take
care
of
the
people.
We
need
to
take
care.
B
Of
and
we've
had
conversation
in
the
past
about
a
certificate
program
for
a
direct
care
workers,
because
they
they
are
a
need,
and
they
are
the
lowest
paid.
So
regarding
salaries,
not
just
for
direct
care
workers
in
clerical,
is
there
consideration
of
salaries
for
therapists
who
do
outpatient
and
home-based
services?
We've.
C
Done
that
with
our
providers
in
terms
of
their
rates
increasing
rates
so
that
they
can
pay
their
staff,
who
do
the
clinical
work
more
sometimes
I
think
we
can't
really
force
the
issue,
but
we
can
fund
for
the
issue
hoping
that
our
providers
pass
it
on
to
their
teams
and
often
when
they
don't
we
hear
about
it.
So
yeah
we
can't
be
a
co-employer,
and
so
some
of
that
we
I
have
to
listen
to
the
attorneys
right
to
say
you're,
not
in
a
co-employment.
C
E
That's
a
different
topic
for
your
presentation
today,
but
you
know,
I
have
autistic
nephew
and
I
do
want
to
say
thank
you
because
the
therapist
or
the
the
ABA
therapy
location
that
he
goes
through
goes
to.
We
had
a
situation,
but
you
all
are
reaching
out
to
them,
because
there
is
a
shortage
in
the
locations.
That's
needed
to
service
the
autistic
kids.
So
I
wanted
to
ask
you.
So
thank
you
all
for
that.
So
what
I
want
to
explain
to
my
code?
E
My
colleagues
is
that
we
had
an
individual
who
applied
for
to
be
one
of
the
ABA
therapy,
locations,
vendors
or
whatever,
and
she
had
a
couple
hiccups
in
her
proposal,
but
it
was
things
that
they
could
work
with
her
to
help
her
to
steal
yeah.
So
she
could
continue
to
provide
these
services
to
these
kids
and
she
was
a
minority,
so
we're
shortage
of
minorities
in
this
space
to
help
in
the
ABA
therapy
space.
So
thanks
for
that,
but
I
also
wanted
to
know.
E
I
see
this
budget
and
I
know
that
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
in
that
space.
So
is
that
included
in
this
with
the
ABA
therapy
that
we're
offering
because
I
know
you
had
some
challenges
in
that
space
and
you're,
trying
to
work
to
pull
that
together.
So
I
wanted
to
know
is
that
in
this,
or
is
that
even
additional?
More
eventually
with
that
that
is
in
this.
C
Because,
honestly,
we
are
looking
at,
we
haven't
finalized
our
end
of
the
fiscal
year.
Of
course,
we'll
have
all
of
our
stuff
together,
but
going
forward
whenever
we
plan
something
we
look
at
programs
and
their
sustainability,
and
so
we
do
it
with
what
we
have
right.
We
know
we.
If
we
have
more,
we
can
do
more.
So
programs
like
that.
We
were
already
looking
at
expanding
our
network
of
providers
and
how
do
we
look
at
that
to
say
that
we
can't
just
put
anybody
in
the
network
right?
C
We
don't
want
families
waiting
for
services,
so
our
providers
do
things
on
their
own
with
are
expanding,
they
have
other
funding
sources,
which
is
amazing,
but
that's
our
primary
responsibility
is
to
ensure
that
we
have
capacity
in
our
Network,
and
so
when
we
don't
and
we
have
people
waiting
for
services,
we
have
the
ability
to
open
our
Network
up
and
take
on
more
providers,
but
they
have
to
have
certain
things
and
standards
and
be
credentialed
and
all
those
things
and
they
take
time,
for
example,
with
the
SED
or
the
social,
serious
emotional
disturbance
waiver
programs
that
we
have.
C
We
have
providers
that
are
ready
to
go.
They
still
have
to
go
through
the
hoops
and
the
challenges
with
the
state
and
training
and
making
sure
that
they
have
credentialed
people
to
do
the
work.
So
it
takes
a
little
longer
than
what
we
would
like.
Even
when
we
do
provisional
acceptance
of
certain
providers,
but
the
provider
you're
speaking
of
was
ready.
It
was
just
her
proposal.
Even
some
do
you
need
a
technical
assistance
and
consultation.
If
we
don't
do
that,
then
we
wouldn't
have
anybody
working
in
our
system.
E
C
Tell
you
just
we
are
always
working
I
I
believe
in
continuous
quality
improvement
right
internally
too,
so
we're
always
working
on.
How
are
we
serving
our
provider
community
and
how
do
we
support
them,
but
also
we
have
to
make
sure,
there's
accountability
and
that
they
are
doing
what's
right
by
individuals.
I
mean
we
hear
stuff
all
the
time
and
some
of
the
stuff
is
our
responsibility
and
some
of
the
stuff's,
the
provider
and
some
of
the
stuff
is
just
we
don't
know
everything
that's
going
on
and
what's
making
it
complicated
right.
C
If
I
report
I
had
a
problem,
no,
we
are
required
by
the
state
to
have
a
recipient's
rights
office.
We
are
required
by
the
state
to
have
customer
service
standards.
We
are
required
by
the
state
to
take
all
Grievances
and
complaints,
so
people
have
rights
and
the
issue
we
take
is
sometimes
they
don't
know
that
they
have
their
rights
and
their
services
are
suspended,
terminated,
reduced
or
whatever
the
case
may
be,
and
no
one
told
them.
C
You
have
a
right
to
an
appeal
to
that,
and
so
those
things
are
critical
to
what
we
do
so
that,
like
your
situation,
providers
have
rights
too,
and
so,
if
they
found
they're
not
accepted
as
a
provider
in
our
Network,
they
have
a
right
to
come
back
and
say.
Why
tell
me
why
I
can't
provide
services
within
your
network.
B
Thank
you,
commissioner
Nelson.
Thank
you,
madam.
F
Chair
just
kind
of
piggyback,
initially
off
of
what
commissioner
Powell
said.
F
The
work
that
you
and
ochn
does
is
valuable
and
it
is
not
an
easy
task,
as
a
board-certified
behavior
analyst
providing
ABA
therapy
I'm
on
the
front
front
lines
and
on
the
ground,
so
I
understand
the
work
and
the
delicate
intricacies
that
really
do
go
into
place,
especially
when
you
start
looking
at
trying
to
expand
that
Network
and
looking
at
how
do
we
get
quality
providers
with
that
being
said,
one
of
the
things
that
you
had
said
initially
is
that
and
I'm
hoping
I'm
using
the
right
word
when
it
comes
to
contractors
and
subcontractors.
F
Okay.
So
from
my
understanding,
for
example,
Easter
Seals
morgue,
one
of
the
the
the
bigger
contracts
right
and
then
underneath
Easter
Seals
and
more
then
you
have
your
sub
kind
of
receptors
right,
knowing
that
it
sounds
like
both
Mork
and
Easter.
F
We're
opening
up
right,
which
we
need
to
open
up
more
quality
providers,
but
knowing
that
a
subcontracted
entity
has
to
feed
through
more
Easter,
Seals
and
I,
get
that
there's
and
then
some
others,
but
the
largest.
How
does
that
impact
subcontractors,
knowing
that
sure
I
can
open
my
doors
and
bring
in
all
these
clients,
but
they're
filtering
through
still
Easter
Seals
and
morgue
and
they're
already
strapped
for
supports
coordinators?
So
what
quality
assurance
measures
are
being
put
in
place?
F
C
Don't
perform
or
they
do
something
that
violates
the
rights
of
an
individual
or
is
poor
care,
just
poor
care.
The
state
is
not
going
to
call
Easter,
Seals
or
morgue,
or
one
of
those
private
they're
going
to
call
us
hey.
Your
contractor
provider
did
X
Y
and
Z
right,
and
the
families
will
call
us
hey
I,
receive
services
from
work
right.
C
One
of
the
best
examples
and
I
think
you
hit
on
it
supports
coordination
is
critical
right,
supports
coordinator
the
ongoing
training.
So,
as
we
develop
new
programs,
we
have
to
make
sure
we're
communicating
with
our
providers
and
giving
them
the
tools
and
resources.
We
have
a
full
direct
training
department.
Mark
has
a
training
department,
work,
trains,
direct
care
workers,
we
train
direct
care
workers,
so
bringing
that
all
together
and
coordinating
is
critical.
So
we've
done
those
things,
but
going
back
to
your
specific
question.
C
We
contract
with
more
so
more
provides
transportation
services
for
a
lot
of
individuals,
well,
individuals
on
their
way
to
Workshop
sneeze
somebody
sneezes,
they're
like
oh,
you
got
to
go
back,
so
they
were
taking
people
back
home
and
even
we've
had
a
conversation
with
my
board,
as
so
dedicated
to
making
sure
that
we
improve
Transportation,
that's
a
huge
thing,
but
they
were
taking
folks
back
home
because
they
sneezed
or
something
happens
like
oh.
We
can't
have
this
many
folks
in
the
van,
so
it's
really
impacted
our
vocational
providers
and
transportation
providers.
C
But
when
we
hear
about
something
like
that-
and
we
know
it's
not
really
realistic-
we
have
to
address
that
through
Mark,
and
so
that
becomes
part
of
it,
but
also
we
have
to
go
back
to
work
and
say
how
did
you
address
this
issue?
This
is
your
contractor
and
so
making
sure
that
they
are
taking
accountability
for
their
contractors
performance
because
we
take
accountability
for
our
providers
performance.
So
there's
ongoing
reviews
that
happen
and
the
review
process
is
really
annual.
C
But
when
we
have
an
issue
that
comes
up,
we
have
to
address
it
within
a
certain
time
frame.
Sure
so
it
is
a
challenge
right
when
you
have
somebody
who's
working
within
somebody,
but
is
there
their
name?
That's
on
top
of
that
person
and
it's
they
have
to
do
the
due
diligence
to
make
sure
that
that
provider
is
flipping
the
standards
and
following
what's
formed
by
the
state
because
they
are
accountable
and,
like
I
said
we
are
ultimately
accountable
if
they
can't
resolve
it
at
the
sub
level
or
the
direct
contractor
level.
G
Two
things
about
hospitalization,
both
short-term
and
long
term
and
I'm
just
curious.
What
that
need
looks
like
so
how
many?
Because
you
said
a
few
numbers
about
bets
and
I
know:
there's
different
types
of
beds
from
different
populations,
but
can
you
just
kind
of
do
like
a
funnel
of
there's,
10,
000
people
and
there's
100
beds
for
this
money?
This.
C
Is
complicated
but
I'll
try
to
keep
it
as
simple
as
possible
because
it
takes
many
of
us
years
to
figure
it
out
right.
So
what
the
state
does
is
they
have
a
certificate
of
need,
and
so
they
look
at
inpatient,
psych
bids
very
differently
from
General
beds
in
the
hospital.
So
they
look
at
area
and
need
based
on
a
population
formula.
They
determine
how
many
beds
are
needed
in
the
community
right
and
so
various
hospitals.
C
You
have
what
is
it
Pontiac
general,
for
example,
they
have
70
inpatient
beds,
they
also
have
put
in
an
application
to
go
up
to
over
100
beds.
Those
vids
may
be
specific
for
children,
adults,
geriatrics,
older
adults,
or
they
may
be
specific
to
individual,
intellectual
and
developmental
disabilities.
So
on
paper
they
will
have
a
number
of
beds
in
actuality.
It
could
be
impacted
by
Staffing.
It
could
be
impacted
by
the
Acuity
on
the
unit.
How
much
is
needed
by
the
current
people?
C
Who
are
there
on
the
unit
or
it
could
be
impacted
by
just
having
an
individual
who
needs
their
own
rooms
or
it's
a
mail
room
and
not
a
you
know.
So
those
things
all
go
into
it,
but
the
bottom
line
is
even
though
a
hospital
has
and
I'm
talking
about
Community
hospitalization,
they
may
have
a
certain
number
of
beds
listed.
The
certificate
of
need
at
the
state
level
doesn't
mean
all
of
those
bids
are
in
operation
are
available
for
admission
right.
C
The
other
thing
that
could
come
if
you
have
somebody
what
we
would
call
familiar
face,
somebody
who
comes
to
the
Ed
quite
a
bit
the
emergency
department
and
the
seeking
admission.
That
person
has
a
tendency
to
get
a
reputation,
and
so,
if
they
did
something
pretty
horrific
or
not
so
easy
to
care
for
a
hospital
will
deny
them
saying
that
they
cannot
accommodate
this
individual.
C
So
that's
one
thing
at
the
state
level:
there's
a
lot
of
changes
happening
at
the
state
level
and
in
fact
they
just
are
going
to
reopen
carol,
which
is
a
long-term
State
Facility,
where
you
have
some
of
the
most
extreme
needs
people
going
to
be
admitted
there
and
they
stay
there
for
an
extended
period
of
time
months,
sometimes
years,
and
then
you
also
have
Hawthorne
Center,
which
they
are
destroying
or
tearing
down
and
they're
moving
children
to
Walter,
Ruther
and
they're
also
moving
a
limited
amount
of
adults
to
Walter
Rooter.
C
So
they
can
redo
Hawthorne
Center,
which
is
only
going
to
add
50
additional
bids.
I
think
they
said
so.
You
can
have
these
facilities
built
and
people
need
them,
and
there
are
some
people
who
need
long-term
State
hospitalization.
They
just
really
need
that
high
level
of
intensive
support,
but
they
also
need
to
support
before
they
go,
and
they
also
need
to
support
when
they
come
back,
so
transition
imagine
being
somewhere
for
a
long
time
institutionalized
setting
such
as
a
hospital
or
even
jail
or
prison,
and
then
you're
expected
to
be
placed
and
come
home.
C
It's
a
setup
because
you
need
to
have
some
kind
of
transition:
you've
been
away
even
over
a
year.
You
need
to
find
out.
What's
going
on
in
your
community,
you
need
to
step
down
before
you
really
fully
step
in
and
re-engage
so
I'm
off
track.
But
that's
the
purpose
of
those
hospital
beds.
One
is
acute
care
which
is,
since
the
state
we
would
hope
be
seven
days
or
less
and
one
is
long-term
care,
which
is
a
application
to
the
state.
C
It
comes
to
us
to
the
state
and
it
has
to
be
approved
before
somebody
can
be
transferred
into
a
state
hospital,
a
long-term
Bid
And.
If
there's
not
one,
you
have
people
waiting
in
community
beds
longer
and
I.
I.
Just
think
that
there
is
such
a
thing
as
Crisis
Prevention
and
we
need
the
full
Continuum
here
to
make
sure
that
we
give
people
every
opportunity
to
get
the
services
at
the
level.
So
we
can
prevent
full-blown
prices.
C
So
we
can
have
like
we're
partnering
now
with
the
Oakland
County
Health
Department,
as
well
as
honors
Health,
to
do
Urgent,
Care
Services.
So
we
can
prevent
people
from
going
to
emergency
departments
or
even
needing
to
use
our
crisis
center,
because
we
have
that
level
of
care
available
and
support
available
so
that,
hopefully
you
can
divert
people
and
get
them
engaged
in
the
community
services
and
that's
why
this
level
is
so
important
because
you
don't
want
people
being
placed
in
jails
and
prisons
because
they
have
a
mental
health
condition.
C
You
don't
want
people
having
to
go
to
long-term
state
hospital
care
and
you
really
don't
want
people
in
and
out
of
the
hospital.
So
you
really
need
to
create
the
full
Continuum
and
that's
what
those
needs
assessments
do.
Is
they
tell
us?
Where
are
the
gaps
in
our
community
of
care
and
that's
why
this
partnership
with
the
health
department
is
so
critical,
because
every
program
that
the
health
department
does
we
can
align
with
a
behavioral
health
program
as
well
and
work
together
and
that's
integrated
care?
C
That's
really
what
it's
about
so
talk
about
infant
mental
health
and
addressing
infant
mortality
right.
So
we
have
infant
mental
health.
We
have
infant
mental
health
therapists
that
work
with
mothers
who
are
at
risk
before
the
baby's.
Even
born
to
help
support
them
with
their
mental
health
condition,
so
then
we
can
have
a
healthy
birth.
We
can
also
have
a
mother
who
survives
childbirth.
We
can
also
have
a
baby
that
lives
and
thrives
in
their
community.
C
G
So
what
I
hear
you
saying
that
is
there
there
is
hospitalization
is
one
conversation,
but
the
conversation
you'd
rather
have
because
it's
more
impactful
is
prevention.
Yeah,
okay,
understood.
G
G
C
And
you
know
what
we
have:
a
handout,
I,
don't
think
I
was
distributed
and
it
does
break
it
down
and
it
does
give
you-
and
we
didn't
want
to
come
to
you
with
this
big
number.
Honestly,
we
really
wanted
to
say
this
is
what
we're
doing
and
it's
working
you
know,
and
so,
if
we
have
more,
of
course,
we
could
do
more
and
most
other
parts
of
the
state
where
they
do
this
kind
of
contribution.
C
It
aligns
with
it's
sort
of
like
a
prorator,
or
it's
aligns
with
our
budget
to
a
certain
percent.
So
we
could
come
here
and
be
like
oh
well.
We
need
x
amount
of
dollars,
but
we
don't
want
to
do
that.
We
want
your
input
and
we
also
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we're
on
the
same
page
with
what
we
want
to
do
in
some
of
these
areas
that
we
share
responsibility.
G
Understood
so
Mike
then
like
comment,
and
then
question
is
so.
The
comment
is.
Thank
you
I
know.
Some
of
us
had
have
had
conversations
I
think
in
the
previous
term,
about
like
a
public
health
Village
like
what
they
do
in
Washington,
County
or
mental
health
millage
like
they
do
in
other
places
in
other
counties
in
Michigan
and
just
again
back
to
the
envelope.
G
Mass
I
didn't
know
that
this
was
the
gap,
but
in
this
not
even
think
about
services
or
whatever,
but
our
prerogative
as
like
the
funding
body
of
the
county,
25
million
dollars
divided
by
the
500
000
properties
that
get
taxed
by
Robert
our
Treasurer
every
year
is
50.
Bucks
I
know
that's
not
how
millages
work,
but
it's
50
bucks,
a
house
which
is
the
same.
So
here's
my
question,
then
what
with
that
Gap
or
with
what
you
say
in
this
document?
G
C
Build
more
crisis,
mobile
teams
that
go
to
the
individual
where
they
need
to
be
served,
expand
a
number
of
corresponders
we
have
and
the
entire
law
enforcement
community,
and
that
includes
colleges
and
universities
where
they
have
campus
police
or
campus
security.
So
we
need
to
expand
what
we're
doing
and
build
on
what
we're
doing.
So
you
know
the
workforce
issue
is
huge,
so
our
administrative
rate
for
operating
is
less
than
70
percent.
C
So
most
of
the
funding
we
get
goes
directly
to
our
providers
for
services,
and
so
having
that
additional
funding,
we
can
go
back
to
what
Penny's
question
was.
Commissioner
question
was
about:
how
do
we
get
the
funding
to
the
teams
or
Staffing
that
are
doing
the
work
with
more
funding,
we
can
increase
the
rates
of
our
providers.
We
can
also
do
more
programming
that
is
community
based.
C
So
right
now
we
have
an
Access
Center
that
takes
phone
calls,
but
also
they
are
on
the
same
campus
with
the
resource
and
crisis
center,
where
common
ground
and
new
Oakland
provides
those
crisis.
Services.
Those
access
points
need
to
be
in
the
community.
They
really
need
to
be
in
those
neighborhoods.
C
If
we
put
them
in
some
Churches
or
other
places,
where
we
have
people
that
we
need
to
be
serving
or
people
that
are
being
served,
have
that
access
right
there,
it
needs
to
be
easy,
everybody
doesn't
have
a
computer,
everybody
doesn't
have
a
smartphone,
so
it
needs
to
be
somewhere,
they
can
go
and
get
the
services
and
supports,
and
what
I'm
finding
about
communities.
C
Culture,
Oxford's
needs
are
very
different
from
pontiac's
needs
and
you
have
to
respect
the
culture
of
those
communities
so
that
they
will
accept
the
help
and
if
you
say,
you're
going
to
do
something
and
you're
going
to
be
there.
You
have
to
be
there
because,
as
soon
as
that,
first
time
you
don't
show
up,
you
lose
all
the
faith
of
that
community,
so
that
funding
goes
to
building
the
community
building
faith
that
we
are
here
to
support
and
help
them.
Even
in
the
most
extreme
situations.
H
C
D
C
I
I've
had
a
couple
questions
on
this
handout
really
helps.
I
was
trying
to
understand
your
funding,
so
I'm
trying
to
read
through
this
pie.
So
you
get
most
of
your
funding
from
Medicaid.
If
I
understand
this
correctly,
probably
90,
okay,
okay
and
then
I
see
you've
got
the
county
match
here
of
10.1
million.
If
I'm
reading
that
correctly,
it's
a
county
match
to.
I
And
then
there's
a
general
fund.
What
is
that
general
fund
from
the
county
from
the
state
or
from
the
state?
Okay?
Okay,
my
question
was
I
was
trying
to
understand
your
funding
mechanism,
how
you're
funded
so
this.
This
actually
answers
all
of
it
right
there
and
enforcement
co-responders.
Six
communities
are
those
only
available
to
communities
that
contract
with
the
sheriff's
department.
No.
B
B
C
I
C
Connection
was
a
five
or
ten
million
dollar
Grant
we
received
from
Samsung
okay,
so
we
were
able
to
take
space
that
we
already
had
within
the
resource
and
crisis
center
and
build
out
a
crisis
center
and
a
screening
Center
for
Youth
and
families
in
the
same
building.
So
we
had
the
area
use,
one
part
of
it
was
a
conference
room
or
something
another
part
was
for
our
access
team.
So
we
sort
of
squished
our
access
team
over
and
built
this
Center,
because
we
knew
there
was
definitely
a
need
for
that
level
of
care.
K
J
You
said
you
needed
more
funding
for
the
mobile
crisis.
You
are
you
looking
so
who's
your
source
of
funding.
C
Well,
what
I'm
looking
at
is
is
one
is
coming
to
you
to
say
these
are
the
things
that
we
could
and
should
do
with
increased
funding,
so
we're
looking
at
ways
that
we
can
work
with
you
to
increase
the
amount
of
funding
we
get
from
you
on
an
annual
basis.
Okay,
so
with
that,
there
are
several
things
that
we
can
do,
but
one
of
those
things
that
we
want
to
do
is
actually
expand
our
mobile
crisis
teams,
so
either
we
employ
the
teams
or
we
contract
out
for
those
teams.
C
J
About
okay,
I
would
like
a
tour
of
the
new
facility,
I'm
sure
other
Commissioners
would
absolutely.
When
you
have
a
patient
in
the
hospital.
You
said
you
have
a
hospital
liaison.
Someone
calls
them.
Is
this
specifically
for
a
person
that's
identified
with
a
mental
health
issue?
Yes,
yeah:
okay,
yes,
The
Navigators
that
you
have.
There
was
a
lot
of
controversy.
A
lot
of
discussion
here
about
how
many
people
are
they
actually
helping.
So
I
would
like
to
get
a
number
which.
J
Health,
mental
health,
Navigators
yeah,
so
I'd
like
to
get
a
little
more
detail
on
that
on
Oxford,
not
using
all
the
money
that
we've
allocated
for
them.
Are
you
going
to
give
that
back?
When
is
the
determination
up,
so
we
can
repurpose
that
those
funds
what.
C
We've
done
is
work
closely
with
Leanne
and
her
Department
to
talk
about.
Do
we
carry
over
and
continue
the
benefit
and
also
what
we've
done
is
re-educate
or
re-notify
the
community
that
this
benefit
is
available
and,
like
I
said
earlier,
the
part
of
it
is
that
some
of
the
criteria
and
what
we
were
asking
people
to
provide
and
support
I
think
was
a
turn
off
I
think
we
were
asking
that
too
much
and
they
didn't
want
to
disclose
so
we've
opened
that
up
and
reissued
it.
J
Good
because
you've
always
got
to
adjust
those
programs
to
meet
the
needs
on
the
transportation
services
meeting.
So
we've
now
got
a
Transit
director.
We
just
passed
a
millage.
You
know
I'd
like
to
set
up
a
meeting
so
that
we
get
a
feeling
for
where
you
need
stops,
because
we've
got
all
these
Flex
Services.
We've
got
a
ton
of
resources
now
that
we
didn't
have
in
the
past.
So
let's
have
that
conversation
with
our
Transit
people,
so
we
can
better
understand
on
this
9.6
from
the
county
since
1999.
L
J
So
liquor
tax
money
that
our
County
receives:
yes,
okay,
so
I'm
just
looking
at.
If
we
were
to
work
on
a
an
increase
which,
of
course
we
work
with
you
on
because
you
oversee
this
correct
we'd
have
to
know
where,
where
that
money
would
come
from
because
certainly
a
raise
from
1999
seems
within
the
realm
of
reasonableness.
So
but
we'd
have
to
understand
where
that
would
come
from.
J
Also,
you
need
to
do
a
pass
of
with
the
universities
to
create
a
career,
oh
yeah,
so
we've
been
working
on
that
with
our
arpa
funds
and
Oakland
intermediate
schools,
and
we've
got
great
Partnerships
through
Jennifer
Llewellyn,
Michigan
Works.
So
I'd
also
like
to
set
up
a
meeting
where
we
could
talk
to
Jennifer
about
her
recommendations
and
then
reach
out
to
our
relationships,
existing
relationships
with
ou
and
OCC
on
how
we
could
build
that
path.
So
take
direct
action.
Let's
not
just
keep
it
a
talking
point,
but
let's
set
up
that
meeting.
C
C
J
Along
yes,
let's
bring
us
into
it,
let's
bring
Jennifer
Llewellyn
into
it
because
she
knows
she's
a
mastermind.
So
let's
just
work
those
things
through
and
also
there
is
a
curriculum
called
prepare.
You
uh-huh
run
by
a
very
Dynamic
young
man.
I've
had
meetings
with
him,
I
think
his
name
is:
is
it
Brian,
Beale
or
I
can
get
you?
The
information,
but
I
want
somebody
from
your
department,
because
I've
been
talking
about
this
great
scale
of
the
price
of
time.
J
I
want
somebody
to
look
into
Australian
veal
I
think
is
his
name
and
I.
Have
his
contact
information,
okay,
I
feel
he's
a
rich,
an
unbelievable
resource
and
he's
in
several
school
districts.
Nationwide,
okay
and
I
want
to
be
sure
he
gets
hurt,
whether
it
works
or
not
is
up
to
you,
but
I
want
to
be
sure.
Someone
is
looking
him
up.
Okay,
making
having
a
meeting
with
him
and
I'm
happy
to
provide
the
contact,
information,
okay,
yeah,
yeah
I!
Think
that's
it
for
right.
Now,.
B
C
H
Commissioner
and
mine
is
very
simple,
a
lot
less
Dynamic
than
commissioner
gershwinson's
good
question.
She
just
asked,
but
you
mentioned
on
the
back
of
your
cars.
There's
information
on
how
to
reach
out.
Can
you
give
us
that
number,
because
I
have
I
get
people
and
they're
like
yeah
I
need
mental
health
services,
but
I
don't
know
you
know
in
what
Lane,
because
we
you.
C
J
B
B
B
B
M
Morning
and
thank
you,
my
name
is
markisha
Washington
and
I
am
the
chief
of
the
Family
Support
Division
at
the
Oakland
County
prosecutor's
office.
We
come
before
you
today
to
ask
for
a
approval
of
our
application
for
a
five-year
4D
Grant,
the
Family
Support
Division
at
the
Oakland
County
prosecutor's
office
helps
to
establish
child
support,
orders
and
paternity
orders
for
families
throughout
Oakland
County.
We
are
comprised
currently
of
24
staff
members.
Four
of
those
are
attorneys.
We
have
three
Three
Investigators
are
remaining
our
support
staff.
M
M
More
specifically,
in
this
particular
case,
our
grant
is
funded
66
percent
by
the
by
the
state,
and
then
the
county
would
have
to
match
the
remaining
34
and
so
our
according
to
the
the
the
excuse
me,
the
application,
the
amount
that
we're
looking
for
from
the
from
the
county
would
be
10
million
two
hundred
sixteen
thousand
and
201,
but
for
a
total
budget
amount
of
30
million
47
648.
But
again
that's
over
five
years.
I
Is
is
this
a
typical
in
the
past?
Have
we
done
this
match
yeah,
or
is
the
this
the
average
amount
of
money
that's
asked
for
for
this
match
or
33
match?
Yes,.
M
In
fact,
the
the
amounts
or
the
budget
that
you
see
before
you,
in
fact
this
is
given
to
us
from
the
state.
So
these
these
numbers
are
not,
for
example,
we
don't
as
a
prosecutor's
office,
we
don't
go
to
the
state
and
say
this
is
how
much
money
we
need
what
they
do.
Is
they
look
at
our
spending
from
previous
years
and
then
they
dictate
or
kind
of
decide
based
upon
your
previous
spending
based
upon
taken
into
account
inflation
in
terms
of
hiring.
M
E
You
and
commissioner
Powell
so
with
this
fund
is
this.
Something
like
is.
This
is
new
cases
that
y'all
establish
and
use
these
funds
for
that,
or
is
this
for
existing
cases
of
someone
who
may
have
run
into
the
other
fraternity
parent
going
off
somewhere,
and
you
are
kicking
in
to
assist
with
that
where's
it
both.
M
Sponsored
cases
County,
and
that
does
not
include
that's
just
what
we
filed
here
in
our
County,
that
is
not
included.
Sometimes
we
do
get
referrals.
Our
referrals
come
directly
from
the
office
of
child
support
and
sometimes
between.
When
we
get
that
referral,
maybe
someone
has
moved
to
either
Macomb
County
or
Wayne
County,
and
then
we
will
transfer
those
cases
to
those
requisite
counties.
E
G
M
Now
needing
to
pay
their
child
support
that
we're
in
Oakland
County.
Oh,
let
me
clarify
so
when
someone
is
looking
for
a
someone
is
looking
for
some
type
of
assistance.
They
would
generally
they
have
to
contact
the
office
of
child
support
and
then
that
referral
their
information
is
sent
to
our
office.
So
it
would
be
typically
it's
the
parent
who
has
custody
of
the
child
because
of
the
custodial
parent
we
received.
Our
office
received
approximately
3
200
of
those
referrals.
M
Now,
once
we
get
those
referrals,
we
have
to
do
a
little
bit
of
background
check
one.
We
have
to
make
sure
that
the
party
who
has
the
custody
of
the
child
that
they
live
in
Oakland
County.
We
also
have
to
make
sure
that
the
address
provided
for
the
other
part
of
the
non-custodial
parent
is
a
viable
address.
M
M
G
M
Could
have
been
another
reason
why
they
the
difference
with
the
3200
and
1400.
It
could
have
been
a
number
of
reasons
why
we
didn't
file,
for
example,
it
not
necessarily
that
the
the
Napa
Soto
a
parent
didn't
live
here,
but
maybe
the
custodial
parent.
We
can
only
file
if
the
custodial
parent,
what
the
child
lives
here.
M
The
custodial
parent
with
the
child
moves
to
a
different
County.
We
have
to
transfer
to
that
County.
Okay,.
B
B
N
Thank
you
so
much
for
entertaining
and
listening
to
our
request
and
and
actually
really
supporting
this
requests
going
forward.
N
The
mentors
plus
program
has
been
around
for
many
years.
It
helps
many
people
across
the
county
when
the
difficult
decision
was
made
by
my
predecessor
and
her
former
Court
Administrator
to
make
those
budget
cuts
to
try
and
keep
our
budget
in
line.
That
was
a
tough
choice
for
them.
After
hearing
so
much
public
outcry.
We
really
would
like
to
come
back
to
the
board
and
I
think
the
board
is
supportive
of
reinstating
that
position
in
the
current
funding
year
and
then
we've
also
requested
it
going
forward
for
next
year's
budget.
B
G
N
G
O
N
Question
for
for
Kyle
Jenner
for
someone
over
there
for
a
fiscal
analyst,
but
I
know
that
the
court
has
currently
has
favorability
in
this
budget
year
and
they
might
be
relying
upon
that
we
do
have
in
our
several
positions.
We
all
know
it's
difficult
to
fill
positions
right
now,
and
so
there
is
some
favorability
in
our
budget
for
human
resources.
N
B
A
B
Oh
I'm.
Sorry.
The
next
item
is
from
The
District
Court
recommendation:
The
52-1,
District
Court
Novi,
an
amendment
to
the
Michigan
mental
health
court
grant
program.
So
this
item
is
accepting
additional
monies,
which
is
a
good
thing
to
hear.
We
would
like
to
make
a
motion.
My
commission
Joliet
support
from
commissioner
Powell
and
Alexandra
black
is
here
via
video
to
talk
about
this
item.
K
Mornings,
day
or
afternoon,
I
guess
thanks
for
having
me
here,
I
just
wanted
to
present
that
we
did
receive
our
original
ground
Grant
amount
of
31
543,
which
was
exactly
what
we
got
last
year.
We
knew
it
wasn't
going
to
be
enough
to
be
able
to
fund
our
new
liaison
officer
position
from
the
ochen,
which
is
greatly
needed
for
the
program.
So
we
went
back
to
the
state
court
administrator's
office
and
were
able
to
receive
funding
of
41
298.
K
That
will
assist
us
in
continuing
that
position
and
being
able
to
fund
it
for
the
rest
of
the
year.
So
I'm
hopeful
that
with
showing
them
that
we
can
use
this
money
when
we
apply
next
year,
we
won't
have
to
get
a
small
amount
and
then
ask
for
more
money
and
have
more
continuity
within
our
program.
We're
also
going
to
be
asking
for
more
money,
just
a
heads
up
next
year.
We
want
to
try
to
expand
the
program
and
maybe
get
more
probation
officers,
because
we
do
have
obviously
a
great
need.
K
You
have
you
heard
large
presentation
this
morning
on
with
you
know
what
need
this
is.
So
we're
really
pleased
with
our
partnership
and
we
we
just
need
to
be
able
to
accept
this
money.
B
B
The
first
is
an
application
to
the
Department
of
Justice
for
the
bulletproof
best
partnership
program.
The
next
is
acceptance
from
the
Michigan
Department
of
National
natural
resources
for
the
Marine
safety
program.
The
third
is
use
of
the
forfeited
funds
for
canine
training.
The
fifth
is
looking
at
an
agreement
for
an
auxiliary
Department
service,
Deputy
services
with
the
city
of
Kegel
Harbor,
to
assist
with
special
events
on
an
overtime
basis
for
regular
deputies.
B
I
might
also
oh
I'm
emerged
by
commissioner
gerson's
support
from
commissioner
jolia.
I
would
also
like
to
say
before
we
begin
our
items
that
passed
items
have
been
regarding
use
of
officers
at
the
Somerset
mall
and
Notre
Dame
Academy,
so
that
is
still
being
reviewed
by
our
staff
and
corporate
Council,
and
that
will
be
returning
to
our
committee
when
that
process
is
done.
B
O
So
this
is
our
annual
application
this
year
we're
asking
for
a
little
over
175
thousand
dollars.
We
typically
don't
get
that
much.
Usually
it
ranges
from
zero
to
I.
Think
we've
gotten,
maybe
30
000.
At
one
point
in
time
we
have
a
five-year
replacement
schedule
for
our
vest.
So
what
we
do
is
just
take
that
our
number
of
deputies
divided
by
five,
so
this
year,
we're
asking
for
232
vests
at
approximately
755,
hopefully
we'll
be
back
with
an
award
at
some
point.
Thank.
B
Okay,
next
is
the
Marine
safety
program,
accepting
a
grant
of
about
168
thousand.
O
Okay,
so
this
is
an
accept,
Grant
acceptance.
As
you
said,
it's
our
marine
safety
grant
for
2023
with
168
600,
it's
split
between
state
and
federal
funding,
it's
for
salaries
and
wages
and
operating
costs,
and
no
equipment
in
this
one.
The
state
portion
of
49
500
requires
a
sixteen
thousand
five
hundred
dollar
match
from
the
county.
The
federal
portion
does
not
require
a
match.
O
J
That
Steve
Senator
Rosemary
beer
advocated
for.
K
O
Kenai
training
and
specialized
Deputy
training,
so
I
think
we've
had
that
conversation
over
the
last
few
years,
where
our
training
funds
have
kind
of
hugged
and
flowed.
So
we
are
asking
this
year
we
had
some
other
canine
changes.
We've
had
a
couple
of
people
retire,
so
we
have
some
new
people
and
maybe
that
need
additional
training
and
then
we've
had
to
replace
some
canines
that
aged
out.
Obviously
we
bring
the
retirements
to
you
when
that
happens.
O
G
O
Their
forfeiture
resolution,
it
was
for
money,
so
we
split
it
with
all
of
the
local
units
that
have
an
officer
in
with
us,
so,
depending
on
what
their
participation
was
throughout
the
year
in
December,
we
do
an
annual
distribution
to
everybody,
so
we
get
a
portion,
they
get
a
portion
based
on
what
their
timing
was,
because
sometimes
they
have
an
officer.
Sometimes
they
don't
so
depending
on
how
much
time
they
spent
in
the
unit
for
the
year
they
get
that
percentage
of
a
distribution.
So
what's
the
distribution.
O
Because
they
we
transferred
to
the
prosecutor's
office,
so
I
don't
know
what
what
their
side
is
and
then
we
have
different
because
we
have
Federal,
we
have
state,
we
have
Omnibus
and
wave
treasury.
So
this.
O
So
this
is
a
new
agreement
and
I
want
to
thank
your
staff
up
front,
because
this
was
a
really
quick
turnaround
just
because
of
the
timing
and
there's
only
one
set
of
meetings
in
June
for
the
board.
So
obviously
the
next
one
would
have
been
past
the
Fourth
of
July
holiday,
which
they're
asking
for
services.
So
this
is
similar
to
the
Wixom
agreement
where
they
just
they're
asking
for
Deputy
Services
right
now
we
have
an
agreement
with
Keego
Harbor
for
marine,
but
not
for
auxiliary
services.
O
So
that's
what
this
is
doing
and
they
will
fill
out
there's
a
form
on
the
back
for
supplemental
Services,
they'll
list,
the
number
of
deputies
and
the
ranks
requested,
and
then
they
get
charged
the
overtime
rate
that
was
established
by
the
board,
so
the
regular
overtime
rate
or
if
it
falls
on
an
actual
holiday,
then
they
would
be
required
to
pay
the
holiday
pay
rates.
Thank
you.
F
F
In
regards
to
Marine
Patrol
and
I
greatly
appreciate
the
efforts
that
our
Marine
Patrol
and
our
sheriffs
in
general
have
put
forth
in
regards
to
leading
into
summer
season,
especially
around
people
Harbor
and
Cass
Lake,
specifically,
we
all
know
and
probably
have
heard
before.
The
Sandbar
can
get
a
little
wild
and
crazy
lots
of
people
coming
out
from
all
over
Oakland
County.
With
that
being
said,
so
I
just
wanted
to
seek
some
clarification.
F
You
mentioned
that
Kegel
Harbor
presently
has
a
marine
contract
when
you
say
a
marine
contract.
Does
that
mean
a
contract
that
has
votes
in
the
water.
O
F
With
that
being
said,
having,
if
I'm
understanding
the
present
contract
now
coming
before
us,
there's
already
what
appears
to
be-
and
it's
pretty
consistent
throughout
now
the
weekend
leading
from
moral
data
presently
that
there's
already
seven
to
eight
Patrol
vehicles
and
two
votes
on
trailers
that
are
either
in
the
turn
lane
or
humped
up
on
the
curb.
So
lots
of
questions
have
been
and
are
asked
in
regards
to.
Why
are
there
so
many
Patrol
vehicles,
the
road
and
on
the
curb?
F
And
why
are
there
at
least,
why
is
there
at
least
one
boat
trailered,
if
not
two
boats,
trailered,
that
aren't
even
in
the
water?
So
what's
the
purpose
of
having
that
many
Patrol
vehicles
that
many
officers
and
then
having
one,
if
not
two
boats,
just
trailered
sitting
on
the
road
in
which,
by
the
way,
are
facing
the
wrong
direction
that
if
an
event
an
emergency
was
taking
place,
they
would
have
to
turn
around
and
head
north
to
get
to
Dodge
Park.
So
can
you
help
me
understand
what
the
world
is
going
on?
Well,.
P
To
him
and
the
two
on
trailers-
maybe
jump
boats,
you
know
coming
through
as
an
additional
Patrol,
but
there
should
be
boats
on
the
water
as
well
in
these,
are
you
know,
I
without
talking
to
Sergeant,
Burwell
I
won't
know
exactly
who
was
there
but
sounds
to
me?
It's
just
our
Marine
Division
parking
their
cars
while
they're,
you
know
enforcing
The,
Sandbar.
F
So
I
would
like
to
gain
I
I
support
what's
coming
before
us
today,
but
I
I
definitely
have
a
lot
of
residents
who
are
asking
questions
in
regards
to.
Why
are
we
having
just
parked
vehicles
on
the
road
and
on
the
curb,
with
their
lights,
flashing
a
10
hours
a
day
and
then
having
one,
if
not
two
boats,
just
sitting
all
day
long
in
a
turn
lane
or
on
the
humped
up
side
of
the
road?
F
So
it
would
be
really
great
and
maybe
offline
I
can
reach
out
to
Sergeant
Burrell
myself.
I
know
he
and
I
have
had
many
conversations
in
the
past,
but
the
reason
why
I
really
emphasize
on
what
I'm
saying
right
now
is
is
because
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
have
boats
in
the
water.
Yes,
and
there
are
boats
in
the
water.
F
I
I
would
love
to
gain
more
insight
on
that
and
the
other
thing
please
please,
please,
please
be
great
to
have
the
votes
that
are
trailered
facing
the
right
direction,
because
in
the
event
of
an
emergency,
every
second
counts
and
so
I
know,
that's
been
a
more
recent
chatter
throughout
the
city
over
the
course
of
the
past
couple
weeks,
because
God
forbid,
there
is
an
emergency,
it's
Quite,
a
feat
to
turn
those
vehicles
around
in
that
small
of
an
area
on
Cass,
Lake
Road.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
K
O
O
These
are
just
the
auxiliary.
These
are
auxiliary.
These
are
regular
deputies
and
or
sergeants
coming
in,
depending
on
what
what
they
ask
for
so.
F
One
excellent
so
in
regards
to
the
sheriff
deputies
rank,
so
you
have
Lieutenant
Sergeant,
Deputy,
two
and
Deputy.
One
cost
is
varying
right,
especially
those
overtime
rates.
It's
a
lot
of
money,
yes
well
deserved,
but
a
lot
of
money.
How
does
one
choose
whether
a
lieutenant
goes
out
or
a
deputy
one
goes
out,
because
the
cost
is
significantly
different
of
an
hourly
overtime
rate
between
those
breaks.
Well,.
P
At
first
it
comes
with
the
request
of
the
community.
What
they're
looking
for
we
like
to
have
a
supervisor
with
our
deputies?
Normally,
it
would
be
a
sergeant
in
a
small
detail
like
this,
but
with
our
contract
with
our
Union.
If
they
don't
have
enough
people
to
fill
it,
they'll
open
it
up
for
command
to
fill
it
so,
depending
on
the
Staffing
levels,
it
could
be
a
sergeant
working,
a
deputy's
position
to
cover
the
overtime
without
forcing
somebody.
Okay,.
F
P
No,
but
we're
looking
what
they're
looking
at
putting
is
putting
one
one
to
two
deputies
on
shift
and
they're
gonna
do
a
swing
shift
one
in
the
early
afternoon
and
one
to
the
evening,
so
they'll
have
a
total
of
three
deputies
per
day.
F
So
the
seven
to
eight
patrol
cars
that
have
presently
been
there
over
the
course
of
the
past.
Now
three
weekends
is
the
four
auxiliary
officers
patrols
and
in
addition
to
now
the
seven
or
eight
Vehicles
they'll.
P
O
J
Of
our
busiest
Lakes,
so
this
is
with
the
Keego
Harbor
portion
of
it-
is
West
Bloomfield,
requesting
any
extra
assistance.
No
not
at
this
time,
and
do
they
have
Marine
Patrol,
no
and
then
what's
the
other
one?
Is
it
Orchard
Lake
and
have
they
requested
anything
not.
O
But
what
we've
been
able
to
do
so
because
I
think
the
board
last
year
gave
us
an
additional
50
000
for
patrols
and
that
partic,
you
know
primarily
went
to.
Hopefully
you
know
dissolve
some
of
the
Cass
Lake
and
I
bring
that
up.
Craziness!
Yes!
Well
that
this
year
we
didn't
request
the
50
000,
because
we
did
get
the
enhancement
Grant
from
the
Senator's
office,
so
that
is
covering
the
additional
patrols
and
helping
us
to
expand
them
to
trolls.
Without
coming
to
the
board
for
any
additional
funding.
O
O
B
Our
last
scheduled
item
on
the
agendas
from
Health
and
Human
Services
from
the
neighborhood
and
Housing
Development
acceptance
from
the
state
land
bank
Authority
for
the
initial
capitalization
costs
of
the
Oakland
County
Housing
Trust
Fund.
This
is
addressing
pretty
additional
units
of
affordable
housing
over
the
next
decade.
L
With
us,
yes,
thank
you,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
I
could
take
one
moment
because
I
am
very
excited
to
announce
our
new
neighborhood
and
housing
developments.
Q
Q
Stepping
on
board
here
is,
like
Leanne
said
one
week
in
as
the
new
officer
and
deep
diving
in
with
both
feet,
ready
to
roll
and
do
some
amazing
things
here
in
our
County
I,
come
with
over
a
couple
decades
of
experience
and
a
wide
range
of
Human
Services
I
have
served
most
recently
as
the
chief
strategy
officer
of
a
local
Human
Service
Agency
here
in
Oakland,
County
I
have
overseen
a
housing
non-profit
in
Southfield
focused
on
youth,
aging
out
of
care
and
youth
homelessness.
I've
also
served
in
many
roles.
Q
R
D
R
Come
to
you
from
the
city
of
Dallas,
where
I
was
an
assistant
director
in
the
house
in
a
neighborhood
revitalization
department,
where
I
ran
any
any
unit
that
was
funded,
developed,
preserved,
created
home
buyer
assistance.
Anything
like
that
rolled
up
through
my
team
and
I
also
ran
our
public
instrumentality
corporation,
so
the
Housing
Trust
Fund
is
very
similar
to
that.
So
ready
to
dig
in
with
that,
I
am
actually
a
native
of
Michigan.
R
I
grew
up
in
Lowell
Michigan,
just
outside
of
Grand
Rapids
I
went
to
Michigan
State
left
for
about
18
years,
but
now
I'm
back,
because
I
have
a
seven
month
old
son
and
he
requested
to
be
hanging
out
with
his
family.
So
that's
why
I'm
here
I'm
very
excited
to
get
to
meet
every
one
of
you
and
if
anybody,
you
know,
I'm
more
than
happy
to
talk
about
the
goals
of
the
communities
that
you
represent
and
how
we
can
best
move
forward
with
providing
Workforce,
affordable,
obtainable
housing.
Thank.
L
So
I
got
a
question
for
us,
though,
so
what
we
are
requesting
here
is
to
in
dollars
that
was
provided
by
the
state
land
bank,
and
we
also
have
our
Our
Land
Bank
representative
here.
So
she
may
be
need
to
help
answer
some
questions
as
well.
So
this
is
actually
from
a
development,
a
Brownfield
development
in
Commerce
that
will
generate
550
tax
revenue,
and
so
the
revenue
will
be
up
to
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
that
will
go
into
the
Housing
Trust
Fund.
It
will
not
be
used
for
administrative
costs.
L
E
More,
the
demographic
State,
we
got
facts.
My
my
district
is
one
of
the
more
challenging
districts.
So
it's
okay,
though
I
just
really
want
to
say,
I'm
just
happy,
you
all
are
here,
I'm
happy.
We
finally
filled
those
positions,
but
help
me
understand-
and
this
is
just
for
me
for
internal-
how
is
housing
under
Union
and
you
health,
so
how
does
all
that
go
with
this
chart?
I'm
just
you
know
that.
L
Is
I've
got
to
stop
moving
this
over
to
me,
I've
been
virtual.
L
So
about
three
years
ago
right
when
the
administration
came
in
and
they
really
looked
at
how
things
were
structured
in
the
county,
they
really
saw
a
huge
connection,
obviously
with
the
social
determinants
of
Health
right.
We've
talked
a
lot
about
that
and
how
health
and
housing
really
Collide
in
the
Synergy
between
them
and
so
about
three
years
ago
we
changed
the
direction
and
we
put
health
and
housing
under
Health
and
Human
Services,
so
as
the
Director
over
Health
and
Human
Services
and
the
interim
Health
officer
for
now
is
that's
how
I'm
bringing
housing.
L
So
usually
you
see
Shane,
he
brings
most
of
these
items.
Sometimes
I'll
bring
health
so
we'll
start
to
work
together.
That
they'll
continue
to
bring
housing
items
I'll
help
as
needed,
but
these
are
very,
very
well.

Q
Q
B
F
Here,
I
want
to
give
a
gracious
shout
out:
I
volunteered
at
Ferndale
pride
and
I
loved,
seeing
not
only
the
Oakland,
County
Health
Department
have
a
table
and
bending
stuff
going
on,
but
I
also
thought
it
was
really
great
and
amazing
to
have
a
table
of
the
Oakland
County
harm
reduction
program
and
they
were
giving
away
Narcan
and
t-shirts
and
t-shirts
which
Charlie
is
weared
proudly,
but
thank
you
I
know
how
busy
it
can
be
and
to
have
staff
dedicate
weekend
hours
to
attending
and
distributing
and
engaging
with
members
across
our
communities
at
events
that
are
very
well
traveled.
