14 <br /> have been met with broad support and interest. It is the Behavioral Health Task Force's strong <br /> belief that the proposed Facility, and its evidence-based, holistic, trauma-informed policies and <br /> practices, will lead to necessary enhancements in Orange County crisis system capabilities, will <br /> increase diversion and deflection from the criminal justice system and will improve healthy and <br /> safe outcomes for residents of Orange County. <br /> Since April, the Subcommittee has continued its work to plan for the next phase of <br /> implementation, with a specific focus on stakeholder use and operational needs and facility <br /> design specifications. This effort, which included subject matter and use expertise from a wide <br /> variety of crisis stakeholders, has resulted in updates to the scope of services and design. This <br /> Progress Report will address these updates and share the roadmap for implementation. <br /> Finally, special recognition from the BOCC is proposed for Tony Marimpietri, who voluntarily <br /> took on the role of Chair of the Subcommittee. Mr. Marimpietri's expertise as a retired Senior <br /> Project Manager at the Research Triangle Institute (RTI), and member of the National Alliance <br /> on Mental Illness (NAMI) Local Board, has been invaluable to Orange County. Tony has spent <br /> over two years and hundreds of hours of work leading the Subcommittee and guiding its work. <br /> This important effort to address Orange County's critical gap in behavioral health crisis services <br /> would not be possible without his efforts. <br /> Caitlin Fenhagen reviewed the background information for the item. <br /> Tony Marimpietri gave the following PowerPoint presentation: <br /> Slide #1 <br /> ORANGE <br /> CRISIS/DIVERSION <br /> FACILITY <br /> Progress Report <br /> Slide #2 <br /> TOPICS <br /> Progrns Orerrlew. <br /> • Re r,G mdellnes and Rep-. <br /> • 5Ea1,ehnlde Upda- <br /> Dalgn Update. <br /> • Scope of Se in Upd-. <br /> Ocher Ongoing work. <br /> Implemer—,Road Ibp. <br /> • �ISNSSIOnS and Quesd— <br />
