Kenny
Baughman, Chair, called the Public Hearing on the Calendar Year 2010 Budget (see
attachments) to order on July 21, 2009. Beth

questions. Copies can be viewed at the Erie County Auditor’s Office, Ottawa

Kenny
Baughman, Chairman, explained the new format for Board Meetings.
The MHRB Meeting of July 21st, 2009, was called to order at 7:06 p.m. and the Chairman noted the presence of a quorum, Kenneth M. Baughman, Chairman, presiding.
Agenda and Secretary’s Report was approved as written without objection.
Executive Director’s Report: Dr. Halliday reported/reviewed
monitoring reports, State budget and cuts, Board budget, Staff salary (freeze
on salaries and vacancies until further notice), and travel.
The Erie County Fair
sign-up sheet was passed around. Board members may contact the Board Secretary
to set-up booth time during the week.
Research
and Feedback Presented by Dr. Halliday:
a) No public dollars were used in the
construction of the new site of Firelands Counseling and Recovery Services. b)
Medicaid School Program. It was noted that Sandusky High School will be
implementing the Medicaid services plan this coming school year.
Consent Agenda:
Ms. Williams presented an overview of the consent agenda items.
Commentary:
Marsha
Mruk, FCRS, inquired if the 65 million is recovered from ODMH what cuts would
be passed down? Dr. Halliday noted an estimated 5 to 10 percent.
Richie
Hanson, NAMI will be sponsoring a 12-week course this fall called Family to
Family. This course provides insights into the concerns experienced by
families, close relatives, and friends as they strive to cope with a serious
mental illness.
Lisa
Byers, Oak House, welcomed all board members to attend the Ottawa County Fair.
Board Concerns:
Monthly board evaluations should refrain from
listing individual names; this does not promote good mental health. If a
problem or concern arises it should be taking up directly with Dr. Halliday.
