County board chair candidate Darren W. Schrader briefs council on county grant and mental health clinic
Summary
In public comment, Darren W. Schrader identified himself as a county official and candidate and described county recovery after a recycling-center fire and a $1,000,000 grant to create a mental health clinic slated to open in August to address service backlogs.
Darren W. Schrader spoke during public comment at the March 17 meeting, identified himself and his local roles, and described county efforts to recover from a recycling‑center fire and expand mental‑health services.
Schrader said he is running for reelection for the 20th District in Columbia County and that during his term the county obtained a $1,000,000 grant to create a mental health clinic within county HHS that is "slated to open this August." He said the clinic aims to reduce a backlog of people seeking services and to provide earlier support for young people to keep them out of police or sheriff involvement.
Schrader closed by offering to share contact cards after the meeting for anyone who wanted follow-up.
