Summary
Director Carri Renchin told the committee DHHS received a $5,000 Mayo grant to support a recovery coach match, MHBG $14,000 for telehealth equipment and SUBG $7,700 for training; she also reported the Lost Pirate meal site will close in October and RFPs are being sought for a replacement provider.
Director Carri Renchin updated the committee on staffing, grants and service-provider changes during the Aug. 6 meeting.
Renchin said DHHS received a $5,000 Mayo Grant to help cover part of the cash match for the fourth term of a recovery coach and indicated opioid funds may cover the remainder. She reported two additional supplemental grants: MHBG Supplemental for $14,000 to outfit a large DHHS conference room with telehealth equipment and two mobile telehealth devices, and SUBG Supplemental for $7,700 to fund staff training to teach Botvin in schools and to support National Night Out. Renchin said an APS grant application for $2,000 was submitted to purchase a safety cabinet.
Renchin also announced that the Lost Pirate Buffalo City Meal Site will end operations in October and that staff member Matt Bertelson is seeking requests for proposals for a replacement meal-site provider. She said staff attended a meeting in Green Bay about the Intoxicated Drivers Program and that the county will likely need additional training and an IDP coordinator to meet program requirements.
