Re. Adoption of recommendations of the Jefferson County Mental Health Chemical
Dependency Fund Advisory Committee.
The Jefferson County Mental Health/Chemical Dependency Fund Advisory Committee has put
forward a budget for 2014 that increases the current county 2013 budget. Included also are
other recommendations for the BOCC to discuss and adopt. Those recommendations are as
11411P M.
1. That the contract for this fund in 2014 be allocated for one year only, due to the
changes within the Affordable Care Act and billing problems. Two year applications were
submitted.
2. Agencies may not use chemical dependency mental health County tax funds for match
without prior authorization of their match formula and allocation use approved by the
Jefferson County Administrator and County fiscal, team. The match may not be used by
the vendor without that written permission.
1 Jefferson Mental Health is to include in their co-occurring (CODIT) disorder group
contract allocation, the time for the treatment in the Mental Health Court. The
committee asks that services in the MH court be included in the CODIT hours, data
shows many of the same clients. Safe Harbor will also include Mental Health Court in
their hours billed under CODIT and Drug Court.
4, Jefferson Mental Health schools contract would be altered so the vendor will allocate
8S% of staff hours to clinical time. The 2014 allocation does not include service to
additional schools.
Allocations to Mental Health Court, Therapeutic Court, and Topside were reviewed. The
three applications were prepared by District Court, Superior Court, and Juvenile
Services. The request of the committee was for the three applicants to meet in the next
year, streamline their requests to coordinate services and case management. This is to
focus the funds on treatment; both MH and CD providers are being funded in 2014 for
MH court. This discussion wild be facilitated by Barb Carr who represents the Law and
Justice Committee to MH/ CD Committee for the BOCC.
