Summit Pointe Annual Report and Discussion of Substance Abuse Coordinating Agency Designation

Summit Pointe Director Ervin Brinker presented a pre-production model of the Report advising that the final Report will be available next week. Mr. Brinker advised that Summit Pointe brought in $27 Million of mental health care plus additional services into the county this year by providing customer satisfactory services; further that Summit Pointe is the pre-paid health plan for all Medicaid individuals for mental health and substance abuse services. Mr. Brinker further advised that Summit Pointe is responsible not only for provision of mental health services, but also substance abuse services within the five-county area. Mr. Brinker pointed out that there are three coordinating agencies within the area, one being Mid-South Substance Abuse Commission, with which Summit Pointe has a fantastic working relationship, and the others are the Kalamazoo Substance Abuse Commission, and the Lakeshore Substance Abuse Commission in Muskegon.

Mr. Brinker requested the Board explore changing the substance abuse coordinating agency designation from Mid-South Substance Abuse Commission to Summit Pointe. Mr. Brinker advised that he has discussed the change with Ms. Robin Reynolds. Mr. Brinker stated that the process to change the designation will take a minimum of 6 months up to 18 months.

Comr. Miller advised that he is a Member on the Mid-South Substance Abuse Commission and has heard nothing regarding the change in designation. Comr. Miller inquired whether Mid-South Substance Abuse Commission may object to the change. Mr. Brinker responded that the Commission may object, however, Summit Pointe will work out the details whereby the change in designation is mutually beneficial.

Comr. Moore inquired what relationship Summit Pointe and the Commission would have if the designation is changed. Mr. Brinker responded that Summit Pointe would contract the Commission’s services to coordinate services with the other coordinating agencies.

County Administrator/Controller Greg Purcell suggested a workshop be established to work with Summit Pointe and the Mid-South Substance Abuse Commission. Mr. Purcell advised Mr. Brinker that the county is interested in acquiring drug treatment funding for the Drug Court, and inquired whether Mr. Brinker believes there is possibility of substance abuse funding becoming available. Mr. Brinker responded that if there is some money Summit Pointe could make available, he would be supportive of providing substance abuse treatment funding for the Drug Court; further, stated that he believes Ms. Reynolds is working on that issue.

Chairman Austin advised that the Board will give consideration to forming a workshop. Chairman Austin inquired regarding the process for changing the designation. Mr. Brinker responded that the other counties would have to take the same action as this Board and approve a resolution supporting the designation. Chairman Austin advised that in the near future he shall schedule a meeting with Commissioner Miller, Mr. Brinker and Mr. Purcell to discuss the issue. Comr. Segal advised that she would be interested in being involved in the meeting.

Calhoun County Youth Council Proposal

Comr. Segal presented a proposal to create a 17 member Youth Council, including 2 Commissioners, for the purpose of raising youth concerns in county government, educating students on the role of government, and representing the needs of young people to the Board. Comr. Segal advised that the proposal is the result of ideas provided by Becky Rocho of the Calhoun Intermediate School District, high school student Eric Roth and college student John Byrd. Comr. Segal addressed criteria for appointment, advising that all Council members will be required to attend the Youth on Board Training Program provided by the Volunteer Center of Battle Creek to prepare them for the decision-making requirements. The training will include instruction on member responsibilities, parliamentary procedure, business etiquette, working with adults, empowerment, and fostering social change. Comr. Segal introduced Valerie Sen of the Volunteer Center.

Ms. Sen advised that the training program’s goal is to prepare youth to become leaders. Ms. Sen addressed mentorship and reimbursement of Council members’ expenses; i.e., training, training materials and transportation. Ms. Sen advised that once the training is finished the Center helps the youth to find placements on a local board or in the community; further, advised that the Center also offers mentorship for the adults assisting the Council.

Mr. Roth stated that as a sophomore he had been very excited to hear that Battle Creek City was going to create a youth board, however not residing within the City, he cannot serve; therefore, he wrote a letter to the editor of the Enquirer and News and learned from Commissioner Segal regarding the proposal for the county. Mr. Roth stated that he believes a youth council is a great idea for students to come together to form proposals to benefit the county, and urged the Board to give the Council serious consideration.

Mr. Byrd, Kellogg Community College student, advised that Commissioner Segal brought the proposal which he had reviewed by the young democrats, the young republicans, and the student council and all support the proposal. Mr. Byrd stated that although the young democrats and republicans may not participate directly, they may mentor the new students on the council, and have prepared some recommendations.

Comr. Segal thanked Courtney Brown, and Becky Rocho, who has advised that the Intermediate School District supports the proposal. Comr. Segal requested the Board support the proposal.
