Council members discussed renewing the local government’s participation in Arrive Together, a crisis-response partnership that provides enhanced support to law enforcement for mental-health and behavioral crisis calls.
The program, described during the meeting as providing mental-health screening, behavioral-crisis response and follow-up services, was said by a staff speaker to be entering its third year. “This is the third year now,” the staff speaker said.
The discussion focused on continuing the jurisdiction’s participation and on the program’s role in providing follow-up services after crisis calls. A council member described the program as “a great program.” Meeting remarks indicated the council would be “signing on for another year,” but the transcript records only discussion and no formal motion or recorded vote on renewing the agreement.
Speakers emphasized the program’s operational role rather than any new funding or contractual changes. The meeting record did not provide details about the partner agency that operates Arrive Together, the exact services contract language, or any new fiscal commitments.
Because no formal vote or motion to renew appeared in the transcript, the matter remains at the discussion stage in the meeting record. The council planned to continue highlighting approved resolutions and programs to the public in future parts of the agenda and at meeting close.
The remarks about Arrive Together occurred during the council’s regular meeting and were part of the “old business/new business” discussion; they were not recorded as a formal action in the provided transcript.
