PublicInformation/Education  Prevention Treatment Infrastructure Other    Summary of Grant Request  Briefly describe your request here and attach a detailed description of your request to the 7,627 "new" mental health patients in Western North Carolina were evaluated by Appalachian Community Services between April 2013 and February 2016. The average time spent in the Emergency Departments by these patients was 28.9 hours. Macon County data for March of 2016 reflects similar statistics with 26 total Mental Health consumers evaluated, three of which received care in local Emergency Departments, spending an average of 21.29 hours in the facility. Our goal is to reduce the number of emergency department visits and assist this population of our community with improving their quality of life. This will be accomplished by assisting with medication compliance and chronic disease management along with implementing a system to ensure appropriate treatment decisions are implemented in a timely manner. These identified areas will keep the emergency department's limited beds available for patients with illnesses and injuries that are more suited to be treated in the hospital emergency department setting. The Community Care Paramedic could assess and identify mental health care needs and then in partnership with the patient's primary care physician and by following established protocols, direct the patient to the most appropriate destination. Programs such as those in Nash and Vance County as well as the PROACT Transition Model have proven to reduce involuntary commitments by as much as 80% and cut Emergency Department visits in half or more. Grady EMS in Atlanta, Georgia implemented a similar program which successfully prevented ambulance transportation of 175 mental health patients and reaped an estimated savings to EMS ofa about $13,000 and over $140,000 to local Emergency Departments. This grant would allow our current program to broaden its scope through additional education of our current Community Paramedic providers, field technicians and emergency dispatchers. Our Community Care Paramedics are well versed in chronic disease management and our unique response model provides us an established system of access and a first person view of the ability of the patient to manage their illness which can then be communicated with the patients primary care physician. These healthcare professionals can then work in concert to ensure that the patient is both receiving and complying with an appropriate treatment plan. This request will provide the necessary education, system development, and funds to implement this initiative. The savings realized by the freeing of hospital resources and beds, countless man hours of both law enforcement and EMS Personnel in addition to improved provision of desperately needed care to this extremely underserved  application.  population will be appreciated.    Outcome to be Achieved:  Describe the outcome to be achieved and how it directly impacts consumers or families of consumers with mental health, substance abuse or developmental disability challenges. We expect the implementation oft this expansion of our current Community Care Paramedic program to to reduce hospital emergency department visits related to mental health complaints, and to help alleviate the burden on our Law Enforcement agencies and Department of Social Services. Most importantly, we feel we are in a matchless position to fill this gap in our currently deficient healthcare system. We expect to achieve results proven by other similar programs of This grant would allow our current program to broadeni its scope through additional education of our current Community Paramedic providers, field technicians and emergency dispatchers and expand our service by two additional days each week. Our Community Care Paramedics are well versed in chronic disease management. Our unique response model provides ai first person view of the ability oft the patient to manage their illness and then communicate with the patients primary care physician.

COUNTY MANAGERS COMMENTS/RECOMMENDATION:  Attachments  X Yes  No  Agenda Item 12(A), (B) and (D)    MACON COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS  CONTINUED SESSION MAY 31, 2016 MINUTES  Chairman Corbin reconvened the meeting at 4:03 p.m. in the commission boardroom as recessed from the May 10, 2016 regular meeting. All board members, the County Manager, Deputy Clerk, Finance Director, County Attorney, members of the news media, several county department heads and representatives of Macon County Schools were present. The primary purpose of the continued session was to hold a work session on the recommended SHADE STRUCTURES AT PARKER MEADOWS RECREATIONAL COMPLEX: Chairman Corbin explained that the board had some business items to address prior to discussing the budget. He recognized the County Manager, who said that the materials and installation of the safety structures at the Parker Meadows Recreational Complex had to be rebid because the initial low bidder was not authorized to construct in North Carolina. Lindsay Leopard, the county's Purchasing Agent, told the board that the two items had to be bid separately, with Shade America being the low bidder on the materials at $59,380 and Paragon Homes of Charlotte being the low bidder on the installation of those materials at $21,500 for a total price of $80,880. She said this total is about $4,000 more than the original low bid. Chairman Corbin noted that if the board approved the new bids, the work on the structures could start this week and that they would be in place prior to the next tournament at the park. Upon a motion by Commissioner Beale, seconded by Commissioner Tate, the board voted unanimously to approve the informal bids as presented and to authorize the County Manager to execute the required PUBLIC COMMENT: Although there was no agenda item for public comment, Chairman Corbin allowed Narelle Kirkland to address the board, and she asked the board not to raise taxes in the upcoming fiscal year. Chairman Corbin  Fiscal Year 2016-17 budget.  contracts.  Minutes 05.31.16 Page 1 of4    offered the assurance that no tax increase was forthcoming, and commented that Macon County will likely have the third-lowest ad valorem tax rate among CLOSED SESSION: Chairman Corbin asked that the board hold a brief closed session for the purpose of preserving the attorney-client privilege, and the County Manager also requested time in the closed session to discuss a matter involving potential property acquisition. Chairman Corbin stated that the board would likely take action following the closed session. Upon a motion by Commissioner Beale, seconded by Commissioner Shields, the board voted unanimously to go into closed session at 4:11 p.m. as allowed under N.C.G.S 143-318.11(a)3) to consult with the attorney and 143-318.11(a)5) regarding property acquisition. Upon a motion by Commissioner Tate, seconded by Commissioner Higdon, the board voted unanimously to come out of closed PROJECT TECH: After reading the appropriate section of the state statute allowing for the closed session discussion, Chairman Corbin said that the board has been made aware that a company is looking to expand into an empty facility in the county industrial park known locally as the SKF building. In moving to the 72,000-square-fot facility, the company plans to add 35 new jobs over the next five years that would create an additional payroll of $1,711,000. In addition, the company would be making $3.2-million in new investment over that time period. The company is seeking a $120,000 North Carolina Department of Commerce OneNC Grant, which would require a 3-to-1 match from the county of $30,000. Tommy Jenkins, the county's economic development director, explained that the incentive agreement contains clawbacks," and if certain benchmarks are not met in terms of new hires or investment, the county can collect its grant match funds from the company. Mr. Jenkins said the opportunity provides good paying jobs, fills the building and gives the county momentum going forward. Board members questioned if the $30,000 was available in the county's contingency fund, and the Finance Director confirmed it was. Chairman Corbin recommended approving the incentive funds for what is being called "Project Tech," and upon a motion by Commissioner Beale, seconded by Commissioner Shields, the board voted unanimously to allocate $30,000 from contingency for the matching grant funds. The County Attorney pointed out that there will be a subsequent agreement related to this matter for the board to consider at its June 14th MACON COUNTY SCHOOLS PRESENTATIONE Macon County Schools Superintendent Dr. Chris Baldwin presented a PowerPoint presentation regarding the system's budget proposal to the county for Fiscal Year 2016-17, a copy of which is attached Attachmentl and is hereby made a part of these  the state's 100 counties once all of those budgets are set.  session at 4:27 p.m. and return to open session.  regular meeting.  Minutes 05.31.16 Page 2 of4    minutes. In reviewing the system's current expense and capital outlay needs, Dr. Baldwin asked that the board fund the operating expense level for the schools at the same level as in Fiscal Year 2013-14, at a total amount of $7,338,330. The County Manager's recommended budget for Fiscal Year 2016- 17 includes $6,995,431 for the system, plus $500,000 in capital outlay funding. Following Dr. Baldwin's presentation and a lengthy discussion that covered a variety of topics, Commissioner Beale said that he and Commissioner Shields = the liaisons to the school system - had no recommendation at this time, but that one would be forthcoming by the commission's June 14th regular meeting, stating that the board's relationship with the school system is "very valuable." Chairman Corbin cited his desire to keep the capital outlay allocation at $500,000, and Dr. Baldwin reviewed a list of the system's needs.  No action was taken.  Chairman Corbin called for a recess at 5:37 p.m.  Chairman Corbin called the meeting back to order at 5:48 p.m.  NC FOREST SERVICE: Bobby Mashburn, the Macon County Ranger for the North Carolina Forest Service, made a request for $22,650 in additional funding to assist the agency in replacing a 2004 truck and to make needed repairs to the county office that was built in 1979. He reminded the board that 40 percent of his budget is funded by the county. No action was taken. OTTO VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT PROPOSED TAX INCREASE: Chief Terry Rholetter with the Otto Volunteer Fire Department outlined his agency's need for an increase in the district's fire tax rate. The department is seeking an increase of 0.67 cents per $100 valuation, which if approved would increase Otto's rate from 6.14 cents to 6.81 cents and would generate approximately $32,000 in additional revenue. Chief Rholetter told the commissioners that the proposed rate hike had been discussed at a community development club PAY PLAN: The County Manager presented his video explanation of the 2016 Macon County Pay Plan Recommendations for the board's review. Saying he wanted county employees to know how the recommendations came about, the County Manager was seeking the board's approval of the presentation before releasing it to staff. The video, along with a document outlining the recommendations, will be made available to employees via the county's website. The County Manager again noted that the plan's impact on addressing compression issues was the most important factor. While 181 full-time employees would see a salary increase, he pointed out that bringing everyone to "100 percent compliance" with where they should be in their respective pay range would require a tax increase and would not be sustainable." Chairman  meeting and was met with no opposition. No action was taken.  Minutes 05.31.16 Page 3 of4    Corbin spoke to the combined efforts of the pay plan committee, saying "this was hundreds of hours of work," with the County Manager adding that "this was a better study than you would have gotten from a third-party vendor." By being on the website, the video will also be available to the public. No action BUDGET REVIEW: Commissioner Beale handed out copies of the Macon County Public Library Budget Proposal Highlights, a copy of which is attached (Attachment: 2) and is hereby made a part of these minutes. The proposal outlined a request for an increase in funding of $120,610 above the $999,390 contained in the County Manager's recommended budget. The board members did not discuss the proposal and no action was taken. Other discussion regarding the budget centered on airport maintenance, the Macon County Heritage Center at Cowee School, and funding for improvements to Wesley's Park and the Robert C. Carpenter Community Building. Commissioner Tate asked some questions related to telephone expense, airport funding and the elections budget, all of which were addressed. The consensus of the board was ADJOURN: With no other business, upon a motion by Commissioner Higdon, seconded by Commissioner Tate, the board voted unanimously to adjourn at  was taken.  that there was no need for another work session.  7:25 p.m.  Derek Roland  Kevin Corbin Board Chairman  Ex Officio Clerk to the Board  Minutes 05.31.16 Page 4 of4    MACON COUNTY BUDGET.
