r <br /> Commissioners Meeting <br /> 6/29-6/30/79 <br /> Gustaveson: Put an add on of $5,000 in the budget for O-P-C, which combined <br /> with amount of what the contract would be with ACCESS would provide assurance to <br /> O-P-C, Housing Authority and other organizations that require and need 24 hour <br /> coverage and would back up O-P-C in case it did not work out. <br /> I still have some question about the Hughes Grant and other grants. I would <br /> like to suggest we have an add on of $5,000 designated to O-P-C as a base to <br /> develop their own emergency 24 hour services in case these grants do not come <br /> through. O-P-G has $8,700 plus in their budget already which is to be used <br /> to contract with ACCESS or they can use this for additional funds for developing <br /> their own 24 hour coverage. <br /> Barnes: To insure O-P--C has stable emergency line service, I think we should <br /> add $5,000 to the budget in addition to what they already have. <br /> Whitted: We have two questions: Z) Will we provide some back up for O-P--C <br /> on emergency service. and 2) Will we provide any funds in addition to O-P-C <br /> funds to ACCESS? <br /> Barnes: We can provide $5,000 to O-P-C Mental Health Board. When the Board <br /> becomes satisfied with grant status, stabilization of ACCESS, etc. , then they <br /> could report s ch to us and we could make an appropriation accordingly out of <br /> the $5,000. I see no point in making two appropriations. If O-P-C does not <br /> need this for heir own emergency services the money would be available for <br /> some kind of help to ACCESS depending on what the O-P--C Board advises. <br />
