Adopt Resolution Approving Amendments and/or Increases in the various budgetary funds of the Wasatch Behavioral Health Special Service District Fiscal Year 2022 Budget a. Todd passed out a document titled, 'Exhibit A Fiscal Year 2022 Proposed Budget'. He indicated the significant changes were additional revenues for staff recruitment and retention such as Medicaid ARPA and state funding as well as ARPA funding for client housing. The majority of the increase in expenses is in staff support for the $2.0 million Forgivable Loan Program previously approved by the authority board. MOTION: Motion to approve regular agenda item #1 was made by Commissioner Sakievich and seconded by Commissioner Powers Gardner. The motion passed 3-0. 2. Adopt Resolution Approving the Final Budget for Fiscal Year 2023 for the Wasatch Behavioral Health Special Service District a. There are some minor changes to the final budget. We have tried to consider the possible effect of the pandemic ending on our Medicaid funding. Todd also mentioned this is the first full year of operating with the receiving center, the acute stabilization beds, and MCOT teams. Vantage Point North recently had its open-house event, so we expect it to open at the beginning of the fiscal year. We anticipate receiving Opioid Settlement funds. Supplemental Medicaid ARPA funds provide approximately $1.5 million, which is intended to help with retention and recruitment. Some of the retention efforts that have been implemented are the Forgivable Loan Program, the frontloading of PTO hours, and 401K match. We budgeted a 3% COLA and will consider economic factors and agency financial results as this is implemented. The 3% COLA may need to be revisited in the future if inflation trends continue. We also budgeted $750,000 for salary adjustments for targeted positions. When we executed the market salary adjustments for positions last year, it was primarily clinical therapist positions. Along with the COLA, the Forgivable Loan Program has greatly benefited the staff and stopped some bleeding. The commissioners explained how the county differs in COLA disbursements; the county stopped doing COLAs and decided to apply market adjustments for all employees each year. Juergen talked with the Utah County HR Director, Ralf Barnes, to understand this process, and it was explained that our company differs from this because their HR team can do this throughout the year because each department serves almost as its own agency, whereas WBH must take market adjustments as a blanket approach across the entire agency.

The motion passed 3-0 Note: Doran briefly reviewed the contracts listed in regular agenda items #3 - #47. 3.

The motion passed 3-0. 48. Director's Briefing/ QUAPI Report a. Juergen gave an update on the status of the new JK Building, which is the building that we bought to move the SUD staff out of the Health and Justice Building. By December of this calendar year, we will be able to have 3/4 of the building available for our staff to move in, however the remaining 1/4 may still occupy the renter as their lease goes beyond December. There are discussions in place for how to incentivize their departure sooner, but this is not guaranteed. b. Crisis & Intensive Services Division: The Vantage Point North Open House turned out great. Scott thanked Commissioner Sakievich for his attendance and for speaking at the event. There were many juvenile court judges, the DHHS Director, KSL, and other significant attendees were there. Licensing is taking place now for this building. We also had the GIANT Steps Graduation and Scott thanked Commissioner Lee for his attendance. Commissioner Lee shared the feedback from a parent who had multiple kids with autism. This parent shared that they saw substantial differences between their child who was enrolled in the program and their child who didn't go through the program. The parent expressed appreciation for all the program has done to help their child and her family. Lastly, Scott pointed out the graph on page 1 of the briefing report and communicated that our crisis services have been grasping the attention of many other agencies throughout the state. c. Corporate Compliance Division: Bret thanked the commissioners for attending last month's WBH center-wide conference. He was excited to announce that there were 470 people present. In addition, Zoom changed its rules where they no longer offer Zoom sessions on the basic-free account for more than 40 minutes. This poses a problem because the average therapy appointment is 53 minutes. We have found an alternative platform to keep telehealth going, without purchasing additional Zoom licenses. On a separate topic, the performance report for Medicaid is due soon. Bret explained his research on the progression of clients and instrument utilization related to this report. 49. Review & Approve the Expenditure Report for May, 2022 50. Review & Approve the Financial Report for May, 2022 a. Our financials have remained healthy and within budget expectations. Our cash balance increased slightly. The Board had no questions on the expenditure or financial reports.
