Minutes of the May 2, 2022, meeting had been emailed in advance of the meeting.  There was one correction:  Wally Paynter’s title in the attendance list should be omitted; he is no longer an officer with TSA.  Kim Ashby moved to approve the minutes as corrected.  Daren Harmon seconded the motion, and the motion passed.

Treasurer’s Report:  James Akin presented the Treasurer’s report, which is attached.  There was no change to the balances of the Taste account or the CD.  The beginning balance in the checking account was $8,926.73.  Expenses were $2,714.26.64 for payroll, office supplies, telephone, director’s and officers’ insurance, and Fall Festival expense.  Income was $18.84 from a tax refund, leaving an ending balance of $6,320.81.  .

Committee Reports:

Prevention Committee.  Chairman Laura Wathen reported that Prevention Committee will meet after this meeting; Doug Berry from Diehl Consulting will speak to the committee on the topic of data.

Law Enforcement Committee.  Chairman Daren Harmon reported that he will send Dan the May report on drug arrests.

Treatment Committee:  Jackie Hughes is on vacation.  There has not been a meeting; and there is no report.

Screening Committee:  Chairman Kevin Groves reported that the Screening Committee met just prior to this meeting.  The screening committee funding proposal for 2023 recommended by the committee is attached to these minutes.  Jill Hoskins moved that the Screening Committee funding recommendations for 2023 be approved by the Council.  Kathryn Kornblum-Zelle seconded the motion.  The motion passed with 5 votes against the motion.  Wally Paynter explained his no vote.

Director’s Report:  Dan Miller reported on the director’s activities since the last meeting.  His written report is attached to these minutes.

Previous Business:

1. 2022 Grant Cycle: this was covered in the Screening Committee’s report.  The vote on funding recommendations occurred during the Screening Committee’s report.  Dan reported that the next step was the County Commissioners meeting on June 14, 2022.  He hopes to have funding agreements in place by the end of the month with auditors releasing checks

New Business:

1. Race for Recovery: Dan sent out requests for sponsorship and had already received word that 3 organizations were planning to be sponsors with a projected sponsorship of $1,750.  Two of those sponsorships are new.  Volunteers for the race day and race preparations are needed.  The entry fee increased to $30.00.  Dan was worried about the effect of the increase on some of the potential racers in the treatment and recovery community.  Laura Wathen offered to sponsor a race participant, and others may do so, as well.  Also, someone pointed out that the website needs to be changed to reflect the correct date.

Presentations:

Southwestern Behavioral Health Crisis Services:  Charlotte Critchfield presented on this new service offered by Southwestern Behavioral Health for people in a mental health crisis.  This is an effort to keep persons in crisis out of jail.  They have a crisis line (812-422-1100) that is operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  They offer a 5-bed unit and a place where someone can be held for 23 hours while mental health care can be set up.  They are working with authorities to take inmates who need services directly from jail.

DADS  Williams Wells was scheduled to present on their program funded by SAC, but he experienced difficulties with the virtual link; his presentation was postponed until July.

Announcements:

 

Julie Robinson reported that TSA is hosting an LGBTQ legal issues event on June 23, 2022, at 6:30 pm in the conference room at 501 John Street.  Legal professionals will present on Wills and Trusts and Adoption and Family Law.
