Public Health- Julia
Julia reported the next BOH meeting is scheduled for December 15, 2011. She
stated there continues to be concerns about budget cuts to social services across
the board.
County Drug and Alcohol Coordinator Ford
Ford reported the state is considering doing away with the chemical dependency
section of DBHR and providing funding to counties directly through block grant
funds. Ford stated the logistics of services will become difficult and there will be a
loss of federal funding if this change occurs.

KPTZ Panel Presentation
Kelly Matlock contacted Larry Stein, the Program Manager for KPTZ,
about the SAAB idea of a presentation on the impact underage
drinking has on kids and families. Larry is very excited about the idea.
He would like to start working on it as soon as possible. He believes it
should be recorded in the KPTZ studios. He believes that there should
be a moderator and no more than 3 speakers. He also believes that
there can be more than one of these presentations. He has asked that
a Board Member and Kelly Matlock meet with him as soon as possible
to set this process in motion.
Communities That Care Project
