Consumer Consultation Panel reports events, budget balance and concerns about PACE program
Summary
A CCP representative reported on November and December meetings, listed planned events and noted that PACE (student program) faces discontinuation at Spokane Community College unless a new host is found.
Tom Go presented minutes from the Consumer Consultation Panel (CCP) for November and December and summarized attendee lists, upcoming events and budgetary items.
The CCP report noted an available balance in the panel budget (reports cited approximately $103 then $183 remaining at different meetings), plans to buy new CCP T-shirts and details for a Santa photo event scheduled for Dec. 7 at Brent's Church (3908 N. Driscoll). The minutes recorded logistical notes (equipment arrival times, volunteers, and flyer distribution) and follow-up meeting dates.
Tom reported that the CCP discussed system changes and youth respite services in the November behavioral-health advisory board meeting, including reference to a planned drop-in center and a regional youth crisis stabilization center. The minutes also described an increase in an eligibility threshold related to a program denoted as "PFL" (discussed as percent of federal poverty level) and noted a request for proposals for youth and adolescent respite services.
The CCP minutes included a written item expressing concern that the PACE program at Spokane Community College may be discontinued on June 12, 2025, because of budget issues. The minutes record that CCP members urged outreach to the county and advocacy to continue PACE; members said SCC is a desirable host site because it is wheelchair accessible.
Ending: Tom closed the report and the board moved on to elections and other agenda items.
