Discussion of Authority Board Working Days location and details. a. The working days will be held at the Springhill Suites and Riverwoods Convention Center in Logan on June 17 and 18. The Commissioners will notify Jennie if they want to travel a day earlier. 4. Directors Briefing/QUAPI Report a. General Agency: Juergen explained that there is a push from an enterprising company for the local mental health authorities to purchase AED devices with Opioid Settlement funds. He reported that we already have AED devices throughout our agency. He also addressed the possibility of receiving an ARPA payment late in June. In that event, he will present an addendum to the Staff Retention Plan with options to expend those funds by the end of the fiscal year. Commissioner Powers-Gardner suggested we pay out these additional funds in cash rather than adding them to 401K/457 plans. Juergen will present an addendum at the next meeting. b. Substance Use Disorder Division: Randy reported on a successful open house of the JK Building and expressed appreciation to the Commissioners for attending the event. Since merging with the county, we have remodeled Foothill, purchased a building for the Promise program, and moved out of the Health and Justice Building. He also reported that we are in the process of interviewing and hiring an Associate Director. c. Corporate Compliance Division: Bret reported that his division has been working to upgrade the phone system to improve functionality. The new system will have a cloud backup, centralized control, and staff will have the ability to take calls on their computers and transfer calls to cell phones. They are also preparing to integrate with Microsoft 365. We anticipate completing these projects in the next several months. d. Crisis and Intensive Services Division: Scott announced that his division has been planning a Family Fun Fair to be held at the Parkview campus on May 10th. He reported an increase in the volume of MCOT calls received in the past 6 months. He believes the increase is due to the community being educated that the resource exists. The Giant Steps Auction was a success, and we appreciated the Commissioner's support in attending the event. e. Human Resource Department: Evan reported on the seasonal employee turnover we are experiencing due to the number of interns and students we employ from the local universities. f. Clinical and Community Services Division: Brian reported that our clinics have increased their focus on soliciting Google reviews from clients. We have seen a good response, which significantly impacts our community exposure. Brian also reported that the Payson Family Clinic has been piloting a program to integrate SUD services with mental health services for the past several months. He has developed a consortium to aid in efforts to train staff, and they have a goal to integrate SUD services into all the family clinics by June 2026. 5.
