Staff reported the board previously authorized two applicant agents in February and that the Washington Emergency Management Division has requested the county refile the forms naming the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program rather than BRIC (Building Resilience in Infrastructure and Communities). Staff said the county needs to update the paperwork quickly because the new grant pathway has a deadline this week.

Why it matters: the change preserves the county’s ability to pursue federal hazard mitigation funding for a road‑elevation engineering project. Staff said FEMA feedback on the revised application is expected within weeks, possibly late August or September.

County leaders asked what else the board could do to support the application; staff requested permission to proceed with updated forms and to activate grant submission steps immediately. No formal vote was recorded; staff said they would activate the application later the same day.

Ending: Staff will resubmit updated application materials for the 3 Crabs Road Elevation Project under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program and will report back to the board with any FEMA responses and next steps.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Commissioner's Work Session - May 27, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Clallam County staff told commissioners they will update application forms and applicant‑agent designations for the 3 Crabs Road Elevation Project after the earlier BRIC funding pathway became unavailable; the Washington Emergency Management Division is guiding a switch to the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program with an imminent deadline.","taxTitle","Clallam County, Washington","taxId",54309,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6206910,"County agrees to pursue bathymetric LIDAR survey from Admiralty Inlet to Cape Flattery",585,351000,936000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3760112-522b070e80b94ddaa2a05f9746aa6d27&start=351&end=936","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3760112-522b070e80b94ddaa2a05f9746aa6d27/thumbnail_351000.jpg","/articles/6206910/Clallam-County/Washington/County-agrees-to-pursue-bathymetric-LIDAR-survey-from-Admiralty-Inlet-to-Cape-Flattery","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6206910-e6f1f7899a7b29fc639ec678a24a51f0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771154113&Signature=fvS8PQsJVYO3JWl3i0tLhwuY~HHPK4VBnUdUoyOiYTEh5396Lm9o4SQVzhb8pKtlcJb0nuZSpC1urj~qvGV-KLM0fJbCFYVEo80l8VNnzTusiLXCaisYkuEPctcCCFsxapeDzF6MoQkfteBw-SpL78GegkwULHVVDWTYzUZk2RHyIpwiB5bYmz67yvnJOba-qy8BvnHsSfX1Os5DtIFtLhqbTGjnjg7iuL8Hn5vPwcWeluXtQv4h7F-3iNbPZZN44Ke9xokuUvOIl5YyXD6uzUzVJEODe9ztUCOsuR~kDVzzTNuf7uy3C1CS6cQgcHCKzVT~H6PKHcccVvqWIesvyQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Clallam County staff described an agreement to fund a bathymetric LIDAR survey — a ‘‘green’’ LIDAR capable of penetrating the water column — to map shoreline and underwater features from Admiralty Inlet to Cape Flattery.

The county said the survey will capture the upper extent of tidal influence down to mean low water, weather permitting, and that the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe will lead technical work while Washington Sea Grant will help connect the data to state and federal users. Staff said the Puget Sound LIDAR Consortium will host the finished datasets, and that USGS and other agencies have expressed interest in using the data for modeling.

Why it matters: officials said the continuous dataset will fill a regional data gap, provide a baseline to monitor shoreline change and bluff erosion, and support planning such as shoreline master program updates. The data will be made publicly available and distributed to local, state and federal partners.

Staff explained that data collection windows depend on tides, water clarity and weather; the next feasible window is likely in August, and staff estimated processing will take a few months after collection before the county can distribute products and mapping tools to partners and the public.

The county confirmed no local matching funds are required for this state‑funded effort. County leaders asked staff to check with local partners before the flight to confirm the datasets collected meet local technical needs for bluff monitoring and shoreline planning.

Ending: Staff said they will return to the board with scheduling details after confirming the next available fly window and partner check‑ins; processed data will be hosted in the Puget Sound LIDAR Consortium and shared with state and federal modeling partners.","Clallam County staff presented a planned bathymetric (green) LIDAR survey covering the county’s marine shoreline, describing partners, intended uses, public data access and likely timelines for data collection and processing.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":44,"_45":44,"_47":91,"_49":50,"_51":92,"_53":93,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":94,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":95,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6206915,"Clallam County leaders weigh TrueStar shared‑services plan while rushing to meet HCA grant deadlines",0,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3760112-522b070e80b94ddaa2a05f9746aa6d27&start=124&end=124","/articles/6206915/Clallam-County/Washington/Clallam-County-leaders-weigh-TrueStar-sharedservices-plan-while-rushing-to-meet-HCA-grant-deadlines","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6206915-82200cfbbba7302bfcf2f51bf7ae8e5b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771154113&Signature=NfgBy71M1PLwvvL1Dt8E~VKppPN7LhZ7Cp5cqp4L2nkYLHFZ6Xgh442c58UdVqOy6GNj3pGxL15CaxHPqyzPp8IvNWIxggo98icpY5iU9DCg9wQYwnTTTB8-0Ldiqw7bYVSsDNrnBjzE3SQqa5NiZtRGEFsdn~PHB9n7bZytMQ0bzU4bmK1HhLr1sRSV2Bgync--tgw5SLeLn3CyB5MZWP9O4G~SVsrh5PoKT16C~YMgiWTkhcrlDUnyrk5DuW~m0mHXkR2QOVqRrHNZcs3vIP11WW4mCrw5uhqg0apuSEEEaSKgBczpAR8opMhQUnkSWLvUUg-Me8EGybV40w19sA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Clallam County commissioners and staff spent the work session outlining next steps to implement a shared‑services model for TrueStar behavioral‑health services and to meet urgent Washington Health Care Authority (HCA) Medicaid reentry grant requirements.

The discussion centered on staffing, budgets and transition planning. County leaders said HCA requires certain positions (a reentry target case manager, reentry care coordinators and related clinical oversight) to be defined and recruiting steps taken to preserve Medicaid reimbursement eligibility. Commissioners and staff agreed those positions must be advertised and tied to a finalized budget for the two HCA grants covering jail and juvenile detention services.

Why it matters: the county is trying to balance three client groups—people in custody, a hybrid population involved with courts but not in custody, and community members seeking external services—while preserving intensive outpatient capacity for youth. Officials warned that shifting clinicians out of existing TrueStar roles without a transition plan could create service gaps for juveniles and others who rely on intensive outpatient care.

County staff said the Civil Service Commission has approved draft job descriptions and that the positions were posted. Leaders identified immediate next steps: finalize the HCA grant budgets, continue recruitment or internal notifications for required roles, and convene a care coordination council of local providers to map capacity and transition needs. They also proposed reallocating funding from two currently vacant juvenile nursing positions (an RN and an LPN) to add behavioral‑health positions if needed in the short term.

Officials noted several operational requirements for the grants: a licensed clinician must serve as reentry target case manager (the list is limited to medical or licensed mental‑health professionals), a clinical director should be hired to lead implementation, and the program must be able to provide medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) with a 30‑day supply on release. Staff said those elements are in place or being finalized for a July 1 implementation milestone tied to billing and reimbursement activities.

Budget and revenue questions were raised repeatedly. Staff said TruSTAR’s revenue streams are commingled in current records, making it hard for the county finance office to verify a previously cited figure of about $500,000. Commissioners asked for a more detailed, line‑item TrueStar budget showing revenues by source (including ‘‘hard growth’’ allocations) and expenditures to evaluate sustainability beyond the current fiscal year. One commissioner emphasized that roughly $450,000 of hard growth funds currently flows to county departments to support services, reducing funds available to community providers.

On recruitment and transition, staff reported three juvenile‑facility employees expressed interest in the HCA‑required positions; leaders stressed no one is being forced to apply. Several commissioners urged external outreach if internal applicants are unwilling or unavailable. The group discussed a phased transition (60–90 days) with repeated case reviews to avoid service gaps.

No formal motion or vote was recorded during the work session; the board asked staff to return with finalized HCA budgets and recommended recruitment updates and to convene the care coordination council to identify community capacity and gaps.

Ending: County leaders said they will prioritize meeting HCA deadlines and return to the board with the finalized budgets, recruitment status and a plan for care coordination that aims to preserve intensive outpatient services for youth while pursuing Medicaid reimbursement opportunities.","County officials discussed risks and next steps for moving the TrueStar behavioral‑health program into a shared‑services model while meeting near‑term Washington Health Care Authority (HCA) Medicaid reentry grant requirements, including advertised job descriptions, staffing needs and budget finalization.","actionData","errors"]
