18 <br /> Commissioner Portie-Ascott asked how success would be determined. She asked if it <br /> would be having all of the beds filled each night and no one going to the detention center. <br /> Travis Myren said that might not be realistic. He said that they will use performance <br /> measures from the impact and benefits report. He said that there will hopefully be an outcome <br /> measure of decreasing crises in the community overall. <br /> Commissioner Hamilton said she was excited about the possibilities and interested in how <br /> it is ultimately funded. She said in the future she would like to see information on staffing levels <br /> for the facility. She said that in order to have a 5-minute transfer time, that means people must <br /> be there. <br /> Travis Myren said he would get that information for them. <br /> Kathleen Ferguson asked if corporate sponsors or naming rights had been considered for <br /> the project. <br /> Travis Myren said they had discussed partnerships with foundations. <br /> Kathleen Ferguson said there are corporations who would invest significant money into a <br /> project like this where there are clear benefits. <br /> Wrap-Up <br /> Mayor Anderson thanked staff for the presentations and expressed excitement for the <br /> behavioral health crisis diversion facility. <br /> Mayor Foushee thanked staff and elected officials for attending the meeting and for putting <br /> together information and presentations. <br /> Mayor Bell thanked everyone for taking the time to attend the meeting and staff for putting <br /> together the presentations. <br /> Chair Bedford echoed the mayors' comments.
