REGULAR AGENDA
1. Adopt a resolution approving and authorizing the execution of a Second Amendment to Interlocal Cooperation Agreement 2019-843
a. Ben VanNoy went through the details of the Interlocal Agreement 2019-843. Details are below:
i. Section 2A: This is the total reserve amounts kept by the county for substance use treatment.
ii. Section 2B: This section discusses that WBH assumed payroll responsibility for transfer over on June 21, 2020 of all employees and for the costs incurred for the county. Payroll costs for June 21st - June 30 will be reimbursed by the county.
iii. Grandview: There is a section in this resolution addressing the rental costs incurred for Grandview. Because the renewal for Grandview occurred in April, WBH is billing the county for the rental amount from April 15th to June 30th , as we have provided the space for the program. This is a one-time occurrence.
iv. Section 3: This is discussing the accounts receivable process. Any payments/ receivables prior to July 1st will go back to the county and any receivables after July 1st will go to WBH. The amount of time that WBH will continue to send out statements is 3 months. Todd explained that for this small time period, clients may receive three statements: 1 from when the county was over this, 1 from WBH, and 1 from WBH for mental health services.
v. Section 4: This section covers the Foothill Treatment Center transfer. There is a list of improvements that need to take place such as leaks and the water meter.
vi. Section 4A3: This section discusses that the utility closet will remain the county's property.
vii. Section 4B: This section discusses the transfer of vehicles and there is a nominal fee of $10 for all four vehicles. VIN numbers are listed here. We did not need to have a surplus discussion on the vehicles because the agreement covers this.
viii. Section 4C: This section goes over personal property such as furniture and computers. The office furniture will remain at the county.
ix. Section 4D: aDDAPT received court order fees for SUD treatment and all of these fees will be transferred to WBH as they come in. Though this fluctuates, the approximate amount is $54,000. Todd explained that this is earmarked for SUD treatment.
MOTION: A motion to adopt the resolution as stated in regular agenda item #1 was made by Commissioner Ivie and seconded by Commissioner Ainge. The motion passed 3-0.
2. Adopt a resolution approving and authorizing the execution of an Interlocal Cooperation Agreement for FY21
a. This is our routine inter-local agreement. On page 3, section 4; it is divided by SUD and mental health. The match for the MCOT was discussed.
MOTION: Motion to adopt the resolution as stated in regular agenda item #2 was made by Commissioner Ivie and seconded by Commissioner Ainge. The motion passed 3-0.
3. Approve a Lease Agreement with Utah County for space in the Health and Justice Building
a. The bottom line and final decision to this discussion is that all commissioners are aware that the Health and Justice Building occupancy of WBH is likely to stay until WBH finds another building or would like to reevaluate the rental terms. It was agreed by the board that they were not under the impression of a long term stay by WBH in the Health and Justice Building and this stay is to get us through at least the first year of the merger. Also, another conclusion was that the board agreed that the rental price for the Health and Justice Building will remain at $19.50 per square foot which totals to about $17, 108.
b. Prior to reaching this decision there was conversation about the rental cost per square foot of the building. At first, WBH was under the impression that the county would only charge WBH $15.82 per square foot in reciprocity of what WBH charged the county for the Payson Building. The reason for declining this is that because WBH inherited the building through SUD, we also inherit the price. Also, the $19.50 per square foot (psf) price is the price that the other programs in the building pay as well. It is noted that if the county were to buy land and build in Northern Utah County such as Saratoga Springs or Eagle Mountain, then they would likely only charge us the $15.82 psf because it would be a similar situation of a build for a build. The overall reason for this discussion was to have the goal of decreasing the deficit in mind.
MOTION: Motion to adopt the resolution as stated in regular agenda item #3 was made by Commissioner Ivie and seconded by Commissioner Ainge. The motion passed 3-0.
4. Approve a Lease Agreement with Utah County for real property only related to the Foothill Treatment Center
a. Rob explained that we need to insure against this so that if there were to be any client accident then the county would not be responsible for this. WBH will make sure that the county name is on this insurance. WBH will take care of the shoveling of sidewalks and the county will take responsibility for the rest of the grounds. This is a 50 year lease. In this 50 years, it is likely that the parking lot or sidewalk will need to be renewed therefore WBH would cover this. Rick explained that anything like this will be communicated with WBH beforehand, however it is discussed in section 11 of the agreement.
Commissioner Ainge left the meeting at 9:50 a.m. due to technical, electronic difficulties so Commissioner Lee suspended the rules as there are only two commissioners present

33. Director's Report
a. Briefing/ QUAPI Report
i. The receiving center money is planned to come through and we have been meeting with architectures and looking at buildings for this 23 hour stabilization bed facility. The plan would be to have the receiving center be where our current Intensive Residential Treatment building is and then move them elsewhere. MCOT has been funded in Wasatch County which will benefit rural communities by providing services there. The productivity is currently lower than expected due to COVID19, however these reports are trailed behind and we expect to see these numbers to rise next month. We do not have a hiring freeze, however we make sure to look over position requests with scrutiny. It may seem bizarre that MCOT encounters haven't increased because of COVID19, however we must keep in mind that the numbers only reflect the outgoing services and not the calls. The calls continue to come in and the decrease in encounters could be due to adjustments of COVID19 and social distancing recommendations. We discussed the anticipated stresses that may occur due to property tax deadlines and lack of work, however WBH continues to address the concerns to assure people are getting help.
ii. Brian highlighted the Supported Housing Services program. He enlightened us with a success story that saved a client's life because of our efforts with healthcare integration.
iii. Catherine discussed the positive relationship efforts of New Vista and Vantage Point. Their collaboration has been a great way to strengthen treatment for youth during COVID19. One particular challenge with COVID19 is that when clients are coming back for treatment, they are often so focused on ways to survive such as food and income, that their mental health becomes a second priority.
iv. Randy highlighted the positive relationships that are being built through the SUD program and the community. He explained that a beneficial approach to the merge is recognizing that both mental health and SUD have their own specialties, and even though we are merged, it is important to recognize the strengths of each program.
34. Review and Acceptance of Financial Report for June, 2020.
a. Todd explained that due to the merger, there are unusual transactions that we will not see in the future. The cash balance decreased in June. He explained that in a normal month, we would have received our payments on June 30th, however because of the merger, we held this off until July which allo9wed the county's payments to go through accurately without hiccups. The payroll is increased by $190,000 because of all the new employees. The net income is $3.76 million, however $3.6 million of this is recording the merger transactions. If you were to subtract this, it would show an income of $150,000 which is normal. We will hold our books open for several weeks to capture patient claims and incoming invoices.
b. We have started our discussion with the external auditors and the board agreed to have the entrance conference on the day of the next authority board meeting.
35. Review and Acceptance of Expenditure Report Summary for June, 2020.
