Project Alert (current status - change from last month indicated by italics and red font) DBHR has changed the way that it is funding prevention services for Jefferson County through the Prevention Redesign Initiative. With this restructuring there is no money for the direct service delivery of Project Alert. There are City of Port Townsend prevention funds through 12-31-11 that will be used for Karen Obermeyer’s facilitation of the Project Alert classes for the 6th and 7th grades at Blue Heron Middle School in the fall of 2011.

Fran requested Julia have the projected budget cuts added to the agenda. County Drug and Alcohol Coordinator Ford Ford reported he had attended a work group in Olympia last Friday and there is talk of a 55% reduction to the FY 2012 budget and another 73% reduction for the FY 2012-13. Funding for ADATSA and Disability Lifeline will be completely done away with, leaving funding only for Criminal Justice Treatment Act (CJTA) clients and some Medicaid clients (pregnant women). Ford shared his thoughts on the huge impact cutting Substance Abuse funding will have on communities throughout Washington. Should the above mentioned budget cuts be implemented it would mean Safe Harbor will have to close down as Ford will not be able to afford to provide treatment. Fran had Ford write a letter describing the impact of reducing Substance Abuse funding and had Teresa put the letter on SAAB letterhead. These letters were addressed to Governor Gregoire, Senator’s Hargrove and Murray and Representatives Dunshee, Tharinger, and Van De Wege. The letters were signed by attending members of the SAAB and Ford stated he would see if he could get Sherriff Hernandez and Commissioner David Sullivan to sign the letters before they are mailed. Julia requested a copy of this letter be sent to her so she could present it at the next Board of Health meeting. PT Police Dept Medication Take Back Kay Pownall Kay provided a documentation of the amount of drugs received in the Drug Take Back box. The total amount collected in the past quarter is 23.5 pounds.
