Finance Committee Report by R. Bratcher:
➢ The board received the financial report through November 2018. Everything is on
schedule now that we are at the halfway mark. There are some grants that may not be fully spent.
We will continue to monitor those grants.
Executive Director Report by R. Rock:
➢ Recently the bulk of our work has been around the plan. Crisis service has been a focus
recently. This is something that we have addressed in our plan. Having this service would
help reduce the number of emergency department visits and police calls. Being able to
provide services in the community using the Crisis Response Grant has been a valuable
benefit to the community.
➢ Review of the WCMHA FY 2020 Behavioral Health Plan. The draft plan was distributed
to the members via e-mail prior to the full meeting. There was a discussion regarding the
plan highlights, goals and strategies. The financial part of the plan is still being prepared due
to the late receipt of instructions from BHA. A motion was made by R. Clutz to
approve the plan as submitted and the financial section as long as it is in line
with the allocation letter from BHA. The financial report will be e -mailed to the
board as soon as it is completed. It was seconded by E. Branthaver. All
members present approved the motion.
