Emily Wesoloski has been hired as the HIFI staff person and has helped to revive the HIFI program. She is expecting to have a full caseload by next month. Fourteen youth currently are eligible to utilize the respite program but 2 utilized this service in November. Analysis (Performance per Contract): Glove House is performing well and meeting the terms of its contract. I reviewed the contract with Program Manager Jennie Darling. The contract appears to include non-direct service time (paperwork, travel, etc.) in determining units of services and that is reflected in the numbers above. Referrals to HIFI through SPOA are rising and it is anticipated that this service will be fully utilized by early VII. Seneca Cares: a. 11/16: Care Team Facilitator Training b.

Bob Dinan - DBT group has 6 members and is 5 weeks in. The group cannot have more than 15 people per group per Medicaid regulations. This class teaches skill building is done to help manage emotions, Fight/Flight/Freeze. Severe trauma people are always ready to fight. This class also teaches disstress tolerance. There are 5 or 6 applicants that have applied for the open positions for 1/2 school base, 1/2 clinic for the open position for the one - Ovid and one - Waterloo clinics. These were advertised in Ithaca and Trumansburg newspapers. Tammy Orlopp - A report for Addiction Treatment Program, Prevention Program, and Problem Gambling Program was presented during the ASA Subcommittee meeting prior to the CSB meeting. A survey has been conducted to adolescents, adults, parent groups, church members and community. The data collected will be broke down by group. Findings will be presented at a later date. Old Business - Public Health and Enviromental Health will be moving to the new health building in January Mental Health and Addictions programs is looking to transition to DiPronio Dr. in $1.3 million is the estimated cost to renovate the office space. Margaret meets with the all the dr. s every month. DIC - The bathrooms of the Drop In Center have made a lot of progress. This was slated to be finished before the Holidays. Due to unforeseen circumstances this will not be possible. All four walls needed to be tiled. Work had to be stopped. There were issues with the porta potties. The porta potties were not maintained like they should have been. They will now be serviced twice a week. Forward motion - a nice job is being done. An RFI will be written up for interest in the Drop In Center to possibly be a free standing unit. After the RFI, then a RFP will be written. Becoming independent will not be written in the RFI or RFP. Kirstin Muckstadt - peer services - has interest in DIC and their independence. Would like to work with CSB behind the scenes to assist and work with the employees on a budget and governing board. Ms. Muckstadt would assist with anything she can. She would come to the county. Ted Papperman showed that we need not to be paternalistic, but to let them make decisions, not for them.

11 This DIC is different than the other DIC is surrounding counties. Some of them are peer run, while others have state involvement. More to follow. There is additional funding in 2018 budget for DIC repairs. We are not rushing this and taking time to do it right. Money will still come from the county until further information is presented.
