Discussion of Detox Center by Mayor Dave Bieter of Boise City and Bob Banks of United Way: Wardle: I would like to welcome the Mayor of Boise, Dave Bieter to our meeting. Thanks for being with us. Bieter: Good evening. It is humbling, but I am thankful to have the opportunity to stand before you this evening on a very important issue and as was mentioned Bob Banks is also here with me. Bob is a board member of United Way and has been instrumental in working on this issue. I want to give you just a little bit of background on where we have been that has brought us to this point and then I will introduce Bob for a few more specifics. We will be happy to answer questions after that. This is really - 0 Meridian City Pre-Council December 19, 2006 Page 2 of 18 De Weerd: Excuse me, Mayor. Bieter: Yes. • De Weerd: Does one of our staff members want to go and deactivate the alarm? Berg: Madame Mayor, I think it is being activated. Dave is here until 6:00 and so he probably just has to activate and then it goes off for a little bit and then it stops. Wardle: Sorry about the interruption. Bieter: It is all right. De Weerd: I apologize. That is the last time you will hear that. Bieter: Just like at our Council meeting. This effort began several months ago, like around 18 I think it is now. We have -there has been an effort to bring a community detox center to the city and to the Valley for years. Unfortunately, those efforts have been unsuccessful. There was a plan or a proposal that the city had when I came into office, unfortunately we found it just to be unworkable. I think the main reason why we haven't been successful is that while well intentioned and you can see why you would want to do this, the plans were I just think really too big to get done because they included several aspects of not only detox, but treatment, which we would certainly would concede are necessary and there are calls for those services, but unfortunately that made it, I think, cost prohibitive and there wasn't a way to sustain the effort and I think that that is a good reason or that is the main reason why these efforts haven't been successful. So, we called together members of the community, as many aspects as we can - law enforcement, the county, state representation, federal representation, the advocates for these issues, some of the groups or agencies that treat substance abuse problems. We began working to define the main gap and to define for our efforts what would be the scope and size of what we hope to accomplish and while that was quite an involved process, we did reach a broad consensus about both what the primary gap is and the magnitude of what we thought was reasonable and feasible to go forward and that is and Bob will go into the more specifics, but in general terms it is what is referred to as a medical model detox that is there will be medical staffing and that type of approach to it as opposed to what is referred to as a social model and not to go into those differences, but it is somewhat self explanatory and there would be certified personnel, medically certified personnel at the facility. The other aspect of it that is real important is what is referred to as pure detox. Detox means a lot of things to a lot of different people we have found, especially in working with this group. What we mean in this effort is pure detox in that it is removing the toxins, whatever those are, drugs or alcohol from your system in a three to six day stay. Meridian City Pre-Council December 19, 2006 Page3of18 It is quite literal when we say that to get whatever chemical or substance that you are having a problem with or addicted to out of your system - because I don't know of any treatment facility or program that will accept you without that having been done already. In addition to being able to stabilize people so that they can make decisions on what their best alternative is and that the only facilities available at present are either the hospital emergency room or our law enforcement or whatever law enforcement agencies is applicable, which is a bad alternative we have found, both in terms of they are not equipped to address these issues and it is quite expensive and takes resources away where they are better applied. That really was our - in getting our Council on board with this it was when we looked at the Police time spent essentially babysitting intoxicated people. That is where we found it is not money that you can directly spend, it is much better to have your Police OfFcers doing other things than that. So, that is how we went forward. The City of Boise is committed $1 million of community development block grant funding that we have earmarked for a detox facility. We also have a site on Allumbaugh Street, not far from Barrister that it suitable for a facility and we have committed -our request will be and what we are trying to build around the county is an operational commitment based roughly on population. The City of Boise has committed $240,000. We arrived at that. That was and I think you have a similar refund of sorts -the state when they, I don't want to say robbed, say they redirected liquor funds, they have over the next four years they are paying that back to all cities, I believe, but in the City of Boise's example that is $240,000 and so we have dedicated that amount for four years and we will anticipate continuing that into the future. I say that the City of Boise is quite committed to this. We thought it was important that we do that, both in terms of capital to be able to get the facility done and to try and build momentum among the entities. The county has, although not formally done, they assured us of a similar commitment for the City of Boise, so roughly in the $240,000 and $250,000 range. We made a request to the City of Eagle and they have also committed. For that I will turn it over to Bob for -Bob has more specifics about what the facility will look like and if that would be okay to turn it over to Bob for a minute. Banks: Good evening and thank you for allowing me to be here tonight to talk to you about this very important subject. I will talk a little bit about need first and I know I don't need to emphasize that too much with this group and our media has been highlighting that for our community fairly frequently in the last couple of months. You may have remembered a story about Charlotte Lenear in the paper, a recovering addict and the story about how she lost her 23 year old son two years ago to a drug overdose because under her circumstances and her adult son's circumstances they had no place to go. Another story was about a couple who had a meth lab fire in their house and they lost their kids, they went to jail and they now are back together as a family and her story was being told on the T.V. and the challenges that they were having and then most recently one of our Police Officers saved the life of a homeless man who was intoxicated and passed out in the cold weather. So, it is not hard to find these stories and they Meridian City Pre-Council December 19, 2006 Page 4 of 18 tug at your hearts and they are frustrating. I will add one that wasn't in the public knowledge. Recently when I was speaking with a group a mother came up and told me her story about she had recently turned her son in for criminal activity and insisted that he be arrested. Having a son of my own, I know I looked a little aghast when I heard her part of the story because I wondered what drives a parent to do that? When she read my face she knew she needed to answer the question to help me to understand and she said I would rather visit my son in jail than in the morgue because we don't have any other alternatives. We have no place that we can get help. We can't afford it. We don't have insurance. He has no insurance and we can't afford to help him. That is why we are here and talking tonight. Those are the emotional strings and they tug at your hearts and they are very strong strings and they in and of themselves are enough reason to do this, but our community in 2002 through the center for public for help policy at Boise State University also studied the need for this and they did an elaborate study. It is a very thick document. I won't give you the whole document. I know you don't need any more paper, but I give you the executive summary tonight and it gives you the statistics behind that. It tells you where we stand as a state in dealing with this. We are third from the bottom in percentages of our budget that we allocate to this situation and out of that only three percent of that small percentage of our budget that we allocate to it, only three percent goes towards treatment and prevention. The rest goes towards the consequences that we feel because of these problems of evictions. So, may I give these to you Mayor? I think I have the right amount for everyone there. So, on September 22"d I sent a reader's opinion to the paper and they published it and in that they highlighted the reasons why we should do this and I will just review those for you very briefly and I will give you a copy of this reader's opinion. One it makes our community a safer place to live. It will make our community a safer place to live. Eighty-five percent of the criminals and the prisoners in our prison system and in our Ada County Jail are there on substance abuse related items. So, the more people that we can get help to so that they don't have to go to jail to get this kind of help - we will help keep those people out of criminal activities. It will save lives - eight out of ten people that commit suicide have substance abuse as one of the factors involved in their suicide. The Mayor talked about how this interferes with the quality of our healthcare by jamming up our emergency rooms and our hospitals and jamming up how it interferes with the quality of our law enforcement by jamming up the back seats of our law enforcement cars with intoxicated people and having people that they have to deal with a set of dealing with other matters, so the sobering station will give them a place where they can take intoxicated people. It will save children. We had in 2005 in our state, 3,335 children in foster care. Eighty percent of those children in foster care were there on a substance abuse related reason that drove that family to have their children go into foster care. This is the one that I think is most compelling for all of us and it is away from the heart strings and it is just down to good old business sense and before I got into this community volunteer work and spending my full time on this, I wasn't exactly vice-president of store development Albertson's. So, I am familiar with business decisions. Iran an annual budget of over two and three Meridian City Pre-Council December 19, 2006 Page 5 of 18 quarter billion dollars, so I made a lot of business decisions. This project when in operation will save more tax dollars than it costs. I could go into a lot of details, I have studied this like a business person would study this and I don't have time to explain it because it is sort of complicated to get through the numbers, but it is substantiated in another way besides the work that I have done here, analyzing our own situation. There is a California study referenced in that executive summary that I just handed you that says for every dollar that goes into one of these that has investments, our community gets back seven dollars and basically a good way of understanding that is if we can keep people out of our prison systems, we have got 600 people that are supposed to be in our prisons that are in other states' prisons; if we can keep them out of our prison systems, we save money. We are talking about building a new prison. If we have fewer prisoners we can spend less money on that. De Weerd: Mr. Chairman, can I ask a question? Do you have data that really brings it down to the impact on every citizen or each family and the cost of goods, the cost of insurance, you know just the cost of society and a lot of people will say well I don't want you to spend my tax dollars, but what it gives back and saves in your tax dollars -there needs to be a better way that we can calculate that and tell the story. Banks: Yeah, I wished I had better data. The 2002 study does some of that and then some of the work I have done individually -the work I did individually showed that just evaluating our Ada County jail system and our prison system that it would be like a four to one payback on that, but that doesn't count the cost of going through the judicial process and the impact on individual lives. Some of our volunteers are trying to do some survey work to accumulate additional data, but we don't have really great data in that regard, but we do have some data that makes it really clear that the payback is large. De Weerd: Follow up. Wardle: Madame Mayor. De Weerd: I guess also as a businessman that cost of goods and the shoplifting, the associated crimes at what you have to mark up those goods in response to that to kind of share the cost over a broad sense, but is there anything out there on that that can speak more directly to even our business owners? Banks: That is one of the things that the community volunteers are trying to collect. We are trying to do a survey among substance abusers to collect data that wouldn't be normally available through say the law enforcement because law enforcement knows how many crimes that they catch people and convict people for - we are trying to get the information from people who haven't even been caught how many crimes they are doing. So, we are working on that survey. Dr. Richard Craig who's PhD is in substance abuse related areas is guiding our • Meridian City Pre-Council December 19, 2006 Page 6 of 18 volunteers through that effort and we are using some BSU students, but we don't have that data yet. So, we are trying to define that. I will give you a copy of these September 22"d reader's opinion. Now what we are trying to put together - what we are putting together and what we substantially have together and that is the good news tonight is that this project has huge momentum. It is closer to being done than it has ever been in this community and it is has been tried many, many times. One of the surprising times that I have run into in my activity on this is the number of people I have run into in the community that have worked on this in 1985, in 1995 and 1997 and it fell apart for whatever reason. It can't and should not fall apart this time. Basically through the action of the state government and Governor Risch put into his recommended budget that he has turned over to Governor Otter's staff and $865,000 for the construction budget. That $865,000 in addition to the monies that has already been committed publicly and the amounts that we are anticipating from Ada County will bring us to full funding on the construction. As the Mayor said the city has already provided the land, so this project from that point of view is very, very close to having a 100 percent go. Now on operational funding at the minimal level and when I say minimal level we are building a facility that is easily expandable within the walls that we build from a 12 bed detox center up to a 36 detox center and it would also include a sobering station. A sobering station is basically a drunk tank. So, if you are intoxicated, you would be taken to the sobering station and that would be somewhere between a six to twelve hours stay, while you become un- intoxicated. The detox center then is a facility that is in the same building and it is where people go as the Mayor said to have addictive substances removed from their bodies. That is typically a five to six day stay and the range depends upon the substances that you are addicted to and many times they are addicted to more than one substance. So, we have designed a building that we can start off with a smaller operation, controlling our operation costs and that we can easily expand into as we justify more money on operations that would come from wherever we can find it. We have plans in place to go and work towards getting additional funds to run the operations, but right now we are focused on getting to the minimal level of operation's funding, which is basically $1 million. So to run a 12 bed detox center and a 42 to 48 hour a week sobering station is $1,038,000. To run at full capacity 24 - 7 on the sobering station and 36 beds of detox is about a $2.5 million operating budget. So, why we are here tonight is to make a request towards that minimal level of operation. I have one fact sheet, one more piece of paper for you here which basically identifies that this is a 24 hour medically monitored detox center, 36 bed capacity with the idea of a 12 bed start, with a sobering station and so it covers this. By the way, Governor Risch also put into his proposed budget, his recommended budget $500,000 for operating money for this and that was exactly what we were looking to the state for in this formula. So, the combination of the cities within Ada County and Ada County are producing more than half of the minimal level of operating budget when everybody works together. Meridian City Pre-Council December 19, 2006 Page 7 of 18 Wardle: Bob just before you pass that out, one of the questions I have is, is the need 12 beds or is the need today closer to 36? Banks: The need today is really 36 beds and the need for the sobering station is yet to be defined, but I highly suspect it is larger than a 42 to 48 hour operation. That would just be isolating on the really heavy times on the weekends. Basically, what is driving the size of the operation is how much operating budget we are able to put together at this time. Are there any questions that you would like to ask me before I give the podium back to the Mayor? Borton: Mr. President. Wardle: Mr. Borton. Borton: Mr. Banks I have got a short question and maybe a longer question. The short question is short of an individual that is over intoxicated or (inaudible) being brought there in a criminal context, is there anticipated any immunity for any individual who is brought to a detox center, perhaps I could see a parent bringing a child on meth trying to help them start recovery - is there any discussion how that would tie into criminal charges? Banks: First I should point out that we are anticipating that this will be an adult - a facility for adults, so we have not figured out how to mix adults and minors in this facility. Typically at the facilities that we studied with the steering committee they didn't mix. Borton: Adults, though? Banks: With adults, we have not discussed immunity. We have both the City of Boise's Police and the Ada County Sheriffs Department have been part of the steering committee. It is not their intention to use this as a hunting ground to find people, but if somebody comes in to a facility like this and there is a warrant for their arrest, this will not be a safe haven where they can avoid warrants. I visited the David Hooper Detox Center and Sobering Station in Portland, OR, which has been in operation for a number of years and although this would seem like a problem, it has not been a problem for them. There are some things that I think that we will need to ask our legislature to do to help us be more effective -some legislative changes that we will be asking them to take a look at to make this more effective. This will not be where people who have committed a crime will be brought. These are for people who have not been caught committing a crime. People caught committing a crime will be taken to either the Ada County jail or some law enforcement facility and our Ada County Commissioners and the Ada County Sheriff have been doing a great job of building capacity to take care of people who are put into our facilities with criminal charges. What we don't have is if people want, like Charlotte Lenear's son who wanted to take corrective action and had no place to go. Meridian City Pre-Council December 19, 2006 Page 8 of 18 Borton: Mr. President. Wardle: Mr. Borton. Borton: That does answer the question -- of some of my concern would be if you have an adult who is either on their own or with some support ready, willing and able to start a cleaning process that there is - if the program would be intended that no charges would come or whatever that you might be on that that is publicized to let people know because I would imagine that the perception would be, you know it is a Police Station I am addicted or on an illegal narcotic, I am afraid to go. I guess where that question was going. Banks: We are -first of all it is not going to be physically attached to the Police Station, it will be a distance away from it. It won't be visible -one won't be visible from the other, so in working with a substance abuse community, people in recovery and the people that I have worked with over the last 18 months and come to know, they have assured me that people will come and with our capacity issues, we are going to have a waiting list for the this. We are not going to have trouble filling the beds as I have been assured of that. Borton: Mr. President, the second question I had was this is part of a continuum of treatment and I am very familiar with the difficulties of trying to get within the facilities, the Port of Hope, Safe Harbor House and those challenges create devastating road blocks to recovery. Is there -and you probably have the information that I would love to see, which maybe looks like at the issue through the Treasure Valley that brought our contacts at that continuum of treatment and perhaps how this treatment center might have some whether it is priority reserve dates or some opportunity after those seven days to then transition them immediately into a different and longer treatment facility program? Banks: That is an excellent question and something that we have struggled with and that I have struggled with. As a retiree that invested their life into this project all of sudden, when I was in Portland and struggling to understand in dealing with questions like you just raised, I was in front of Ed Blackburn who was a founder of the Central City Concern, the David Hooper Detox Center in Portland I said you know I put my life on this thing and for a long time now it looks like it is going to take quite a bit more of it. I want to know I am working on the right thing. Here in Portland they have a big solid continuum of care. They really have an excellent program and he goes yes, this is the right first step. This is the first and most important thing. I also and another affirming factor, I chair, sub-board a member on the United Way Board, I chair the Impact Council and part of our responsibilities are to assess the needs of our community so that we know that the investments that we make with the money that we are granted are made in the areas that have the highest need and so we have done studies and the study continually tells us that this is one of the highest needs that we have is a Meridian City Pre-Cou~l December 19, 2006 Page 9 of 18 i community detox center and sobering station. So, with that in mind, I said okay. When we first started this process on the steering committee, everybody started talking about the continuum of care that we need this and we need that and we need that and I was like in spite of the fact that I was used to dealing with a very large construction agenda, being the person primarily in charge of Albertson's growth over the years that it went from seventh largest to the largest supermarket chain in the nation -this became overwhelming. I said wait a second what are we doing? We are talking about something that is going to kill the project. We have got to focus on what is most important and take care of that. What is the first step and what is most important? We went through the process and this is what came out, knowing that we are going to have to finish working on the continuum of care -this question has been asked many times and I struggle with it. One of the things that has happened besides the blessings that have happened to make this thing become a reality so close to the finish line is we ended up with extra land at the site the city has given us; more land than is needed for a detox center - quite a bit more land and so we started reviewing them. We haven't taken this to the City of Boise and haven't mentioned it to the Mayor yet -but, there are opportunities. We knew during the 17 months of design build that we are going to have to work on that up the next steps and the next steps of the continuum of care to put them in place so that when we made the connection at the end of detox or during detox to treatment that they would be ready with more capable treatment facilities than what we have today because we are going to have more people ready for treatment when we have a detox center. The excess land has a huge potential and we are working on a project that we have started exposing the city to where we would have the next couple of steps in the continuum of care right there and I don't think that we are going to have to be asking for a lot of money to make that happen. It is an operation that can sort of help pay for itself and it is an expansion of an existing treatment program that already exists in this community. There is a lot of potential there and we are aware of the concern; we are concerned with it and we are trying to find the right solutions and when we get this first step firmly planted in the ground and we are in design and we know we have these budgets aligned then we are going to rush to work on those next steps of the continuum of care. United Way has committed to me that they will support those efforts to help organize the community around that. Sorry for length of those responses. Wardle: Mr. Rountree. Rountree: Thanks for the question, Joe. You framed it much better than I would and it was running through my mind how does this work in a continuum? As it relates to the details of the operation, folks would come to the detox center who have a need for its services, but how many strikes does an individual get? Or how many times do they get to go through this? It seems to me that we are dealing with addiction, we don't have a continuum treatment, so we just have taken that first step and what is the rate of return and how do you deal with that? Meridian City Pre-Council December 19, 2006 Page 10 of 18 Banks: Yes, sir and that is an excellent question. Another question that we continue to grapple with - I am not going to give you a specific answer because I think the answer needs to be developed, but let me tell you how we are going to develop the answer. In working with the David Hooper Detox Center and Sobering Station in Portland, OR they have opened up their entire books, their budgets and their protocols and their policies to us so we can take all of those as learning expenses from an ongoing operation. The Veteran's Administration, the Veteran's Hospital here in our community has a detox center for veterans and they are very excited. They recognize the need for the community detox center and they are committing to help us to figure out the answer to those protocols. They have a procedure for dealing with that specific issue within their center - have been in both St. Luke's and St. AI's and they have also committed to help us in establishing what is appropriate for our center and for our facility and I think it probably changes over time -the specific answer is it probably changes over time depending upon how long the weight list -you probably do it sort of like a mash unit and you figure out who has the highest need and fits that. That is sort of where we are at with that, but it is a very important, very good question and something that we are focused on making sure we have the right answer. Rountree: Thank you. De Weerd: Mr. President. Wardle: Madame Mayor. De Weerd: I appreciate all of your time on this. I know it is a very time critical subject and appreciate the energy and commitment that you and your group have done. I really do. I do have a question in regards of what kind of oversight group will this have and how do you see the role of the different funding partners in that? Or is that a question for the Mayor? Bieter: Well, I think that maybe it is better that I address it. Our anticipation, while it has not been fully developed because we are still piecing together the project. It would be all of us in whatever representation would be that we could agree upon would have both oversight and operational control over the facility. Meaning that operations itself, we hope to enlist and we have already began discussions with the hospitals and hope to enlist one or the other of them to run it. But, as far as the governing board of it, it would be made up of all of us -all of us contributors. We haven't figured out what specifically that meant, but City of Meridian and Eagle and Boise and Ada County would make up that group. I hope that answers it. Like I said, we haven't begun a document until we get complete, but that is our anticipation. Any more questions for Bob and either of us? Wardle: Mayor Bieter anything further? Meridian City Pre-Council December 19, 2006 Page 11 of 18 i. Bieter: Well, just a couple of final comments. I really appreciate your questions because your analysis is similar to where we have been in this effort. I think you can see from how hard Bob has worked on this and what has gone in to develop and the scenarios that we are bringing forward. I guess I would just add that there are a number of programs, whether they are residential programs or sort of out patient that are available that the state or other entities fund. We would at the very least coordinate with those programs so that an individual that came through the facility would have all of the access that we can build in the availability of those right away. So, that would be the minimum because there are a number of those, but again we have found that virtually none of them and not one of them that I am aware of that accepts you into the program without first having detox in the sense that we are using that here. We also will -both hospitals have been partners on the committee and we will, after making the rounds of the governmental entities make quite a specific request that they participate either in capital or in contributions to the facility. We hope that either one of the hospitals or another entity to operate the facility - we get the capital and operations together and we would go out to an RFP and enlist that assistance, but they have been quite good participants in, but we will make a financial or an in kind request to them as well of both of them. One final funding possibility at least as Bob mentioned, our hope is in addition to the capital request that we made of the state that Governor Risch put into his budget that will carry forward - on the operations end we think that the best connection and the most logical one is liquor revenues and our hope is to divert some portion of those. There are a handful of things mentioned in the statute and I don't have that in front of me, but it is when the liquor funds are collected there are a handful of things that are financed before the distribution begins to the counties and the cities and the rest of the distribution. We hope for an increased percentage of that, relatively small one given the whole of it that would be available for operations. It wouldn't require but just a minor change in the statute. But, that would be our hope so that the state is committed. As you all know that is one of the central problems here. This isn't our, you know, statutory duty to do and it isn't yours. It isn't the counties or at least specifically for these services, the state's and that is one of the real problems here. By getting into this we don't acknowledge that it is ours, but we have found the response for the state even so far -when we have got the commitment of the locals and we worked on it as we have has faired quite well at least in our first experience because they see the buy in at the local level. My final duty here is to make the specific request of you and that would be we are targeting it to the 2004 census and would be according to our figures anyway $52,290 and you could round up or round down and that is what it is keyed to is the 2004 census. That was our request and our approval from the City of Eagle. Ours is $240,000 based on that money that came back from the state, but, we also have found -- that was the request when the Sheriff's proposal came forward that is when he anticipated and that effort was helpful at least starting to figure out where we might go. It was also successful in the commitment from the jail -before what they had anticipated was not as big of commitment in this effort and that led to their incorporating in the new jail facility, • Meridian City Pre-Council December 19, 2006 Page 12 of 18 significantly more detox services. But this is for those that haven't committed a crime and you know don't need to be in the jail. That effort was quite helpful in that way. So, that is our request and we really appreciate all of your time and your interest in this. I'd just mention that while I am here how good the relationship has been between the City of Boise and the City of Meridian, through your Mayor and other Council members of the various regional boards and efforts that we serve on, but as I mentioned in the State of City, strong cities regardless of where they are is as we see a benefit to the whole rally in the state. We will enjoy a healthy competitiveness on certain things whether it is business or amenities, but we are big fans of the City of Meridian and all the other cities and that strength is going to serve us all well and we just appreciate your time and interest in this. Wardle: Thank you, Mayor and thank you very much for coming to Meridian. We welcome you anytime. All there any final comments for the Mayor before he leaves? Borton: Mr. President. Wardle: Mr. Borton. Gorton: Just briefly there was a million reasons why projects like this can't go forward and you need more than one government entity involved and there are a million questions to ask and a way to slow things down and from what I have seen you and the City of Boise regardless of what takes place have stuck your neck out for it by taking the lead and making off with land and funding and not knowing where it is going to go and I appreciate it and I think that that is impressive leadership on this project. Bieter: Well, thank you. As your questions reflected, we would like to do an awful lot more, but I take it it is because we have tried to take even more on of the efforts that Bob referred to and they are numerous and longstanding didn't make it. I think, initially, a 12 bed facility is big enough to make a significant contribution scaled to a 36 bed at construction, but even the 12 at the beginning is a significant step forward and the sobering station part of it, which is what our Police end up doing -these people haven't committed a crime and they can't be where they are, so they are picked up and taken and sober in a place that is safe and medically monitored, we think that will be a big help to all of our public safety people. Rountree: Just an echo of what Joe said to the Mayor. I appreciate your efforts and for taking the risk on this and Bob, especially to you and your committee for the investment that you have made and they have done some excellent work and good information for us and I think this particular Councilman is in your favor, so we will see where we go from here. Thank you. Meridian City Pre-Cowl • December 19, 2006 Page 13 of 18 Wardle: Thank you very much and we will take this discussion up shortly and have been supportive in the past and certainly appreciate the presentation. Bob thanks for your work and I heard you mention that you are retired, but it sounds like you have been awfully busy, so thank you for your service. De Weerd: Mr. President. Wardle: Madame Mayor. De Weerd: I don't know if the Council feels it inappropriate at this time, but I am sure these two gentlemen would like to have an idea of where we are at. Mr. Nary since it is not a budgeted item and they are not asking for a specific amount right now for this budget year, is it appropriate that this -can we commit? I guess there is another question can you commit future Councils on this particular area? (Tape turned over) Nary: -- what you can do is if the Council wishes whether it is a formal resolution or whether it is by voice vote to support this project and to gather further information and then commit to scheduling that same discussion as part of the budget process for the spraying and into the summer, you could certainly do that and then if you budget that money for it then that is available to be used by this Council in the future in the discretionary manner. Bird: Mr. President. Wardle: Mr. Bird. Bird: Also, Mr. Nary we can commit to it with afund-out clause as every city, entity has to so that we don't capture future Councils. I am like Councilman Rountree as I heard the presentation I think this is a real necessity and have absolutely no problem selling it to our taxpayers. I don't think we will have any problems with it. More power to you and let's go do it. Wardle: Council do I hear a motion of support? Bird: So moved. Rountree: Second. Wardle: It is been moved and seconded to support in concept the ideas presented today in regards to the sobering station and detox center partnership for Ada County and with that I will have a roll call vote, Mr. Berg. Roll Call Vote: Bird, aye; Rountree, aye; Borton, aye; Wardle, aye; Meridian City Pre-Council December 19, 2006 Page 14 of 18 ALL AYES. MOTION CARRIED. De Weerd: Mr. President. Wardle: Madame Mayor. De Weerd: Mr. Mayor and Mr. Banks I will guarantee you they will have it in their budget or it will be in the budget presented to them. Thank you so much for your efforts. Item 4. Discussion of Fireworks Ordinance by Deputy Chief Joe Silva: Wardle: I will turn this over to Mr. Silva. Silva: Madame Mayor and members of the Council prior to our 2006 fireworks sales season you had been approached about some conditional use permits to consider temporary sales stands, tents up to 2,800 square feet we were requested of staff to revisit the existing fireworks ordinance and to work with other Treasure Valley Fire Departments to standardize our requirements with respect to size of stand and things about the stand. With that, we have met with other Treasure Valley Fire Departments of Boise, Nampa, Caldwell, Eagle, Garden City just to name a few of the agencies that we have worked with and addition to meeting with the vendors twice. So, with that I would like to provide an overview of our work up to this point -just kind of a refresher on the definition of the fireworks so you specifically know what we are speaking about this evening. What we are going to discuss is fireworks and specifically it excludes automotive safety Hairs, toy guns, toy cannons, caps, party poppers these are novelty items that are typically sold at Fred Meyer or at Wal-Mart as an example. So, it excludes those items. The non-aerial common fireworks that we commonly have within our temporary fireworks stands are required not to travel outside of 15 foot diameter circle or mid-sparks outside of that 20 foot circle or shoot anything higher than 20 feet. So, those are considered non-aerial common fireworks, the ones that are commonly sold in the City of Meridian. The other definition that we will be referring to in our proposed ordinance is what we call dangerous fireworks and those are items that would have -would travel outside of a 15 foot diameter circle that would (inaudible) sparks outside that circle, where they would shoot above 20 feet and most commonly you would see bottle rockets, firecrackers, jumping jacks and other similar products in the definition for dangerous fireworks. So, the scope of the problem as you are probably well aware of, we have some flaws in our existing state law, which allows people to purchase fireworks, dangerous fireworks to possess them, but not to discharge it within our state and obviously every Fourth of July we see what occurs when they are not allowed to discharge dangerous fireworks at the City of Meridian and have them going up all over the place. It obviously generates a lot of complaints from our neighborhood. You know some of those complaints come to the Mayor's Office; they come to the Police Department, the Fire Department or to Meridian City Pre-Cowl December 19, 2006 Page 15 of 18 the dispatch center on the night of the fourth. Dangerous fireworks are one of those things that careless acts of others and can put other people's property at risk. So, that is what generates a complaint because people have a sincere concern over their own personal property when bottle rockets are landing on their roof. We must not forget that fireworks are class "e" explosives and the most recent example of how deadly they can be is the issue or the new store where two casino workers in Worley, ID were killed this past summer as they were in or around destruction of storing fireworks in Worley. So, our proposed solution is to try to attempt to limit the availability of dangerous aerial fireworks within our city. We want to ensure that non-aerial common fireworks are purchased in use under the supervision of a parent or guardian and I will elaborate on that in just a couple of minutes. So, the provisions of our ordinance, this draft ordinance that is in front of you this evening is that short term sales of non-aerial common fireworks cannot be sold from a permanent structure. The reason why this provision was included in our draft ordinance is we had one of the vendors approach us about selling fireworks in vacant warehouse space on Eagle Road and to which the Fire Department's response was that building was -that sprinkler system was not designed nor intended to protect stored fireworks. Also, we would prohibit the sales, storage and possession of dangerous fireworks within our city. You would have to be the age of 16 to purchase fireworks unless accompanied by a parent. A lot of times what we have is children that come up to the fireworks stands and they will take their allowance and they will purchase novelty items from the fireworks stand and it will take them to a field in an area where they are not supervised by a parent. So, we have raised that minimum age and also we have raised the age to work in a fireworks stand. We had a mother who was taking care of her very small children in a playpen while selling non-aerial common fireworks in the stand. So, one of the other things is we commonly have had in our former ordinance is we don't allow the public to touch the fireworks before the sale is consummated, until it is finalized and they have got it in a bag and in the process of leaving the fireworks stand. One of the bones of contention in our previous and our CUP's was how large should we allow our tent to be and just to refresh your memory the fire code requires that no tent be greater than 200 square feet, nor can it be greater than 400 square feet. What we have worked with the other Treasure Valley Fire Departments to standardized this at 600 square feet universally across or at least the proposal of across the Treasure Valley. We would prohibit the sale and storage of dangerous fireworks within the City of Meridian. We also include a provision for long-term storage of non-aerial common fireworks exceeding 60 days. So in other words this would be like a warehouse for (inaudible) if we had somebody approach us with the intent of wanting to run a warehouse, it would be a year around operation essentially. So, that would only be allowed to be conducted from a permanent building, it would require certificate of zoning compliance from a Planning Department, they would be required to obtain a change of use of the building occupancy if it was applicable, in other words if they didn't start with a building coming out of the ground, if it was an existing building they would be required to obtain or go through the change of use process through the Building • • Meridian City Pre-Council December 19, 2006 Page 16 of 18 Department. They would be required to comply with the currently adopted version to the building codes and the fire codes, comply with all other local land use ordinances and codes as applicable and we would not allow any retail sales of non-aerial common fireworks from any of these long term facilities. We would require that the parents or guardians that have custody or control of minors be liable for any damage that may be caused by the use of the fireworks by a minor, so making the parents responsible for the actions of their children. We were working with the County, hopefully that we could get everything that we have spoken about this evening, included in the city ordinance, but we would also include that in an ordinance that we would propose to Ada County with the envision that -with the additional provision that all whole sale sales of dangerous fireworks be conducted only from a permanent structure meeting the land use requirements, having a CUP and complying with the currently adopted building and fire codes and what we are attempting to do here is to legitimize the wholesale transactions that have been conducted at different parts in the city in the isolated county pockets of land and commonly they sometimes occur at Linder or Franklin or at Locust Grove and Fairview and so we are going to try and legitimize those wholesale transactions. So, with that what we would like to do this evening is stand for any questions should you have any and just kind of get a feel for Council's and what they wish us to do in terms of direction to this proposed ordinance. Wardle: Thank you, Joe. Council? Bird: Mr. President. Wardle: Mr. Bird. Bird: I would like to personally read through this a little more. I agree with the Fire Department on this aspect. But, just getting the hard copy tonight, I would kind of like to see it come back the first of January on the Pre-Council and give it about 15 or 20 minutes and then take on a vote because I would like to get some questions generated by reading through and submitting them back to Joe or Chief Anderson. Wardle: Thank you, Mr. Bird and the one thing I guess we didn't clarify or start with was the intent was not to bring this forward and pass it for the New Year season; it was more intended to further the discussion we had last spring and through the summer times. Nary: Mr. President. Wardle: Mr. Nary. Nary: I have been in discussion with Chief Silva about this ordinance and there are some things that we still need to work through and to making clarify and Meridian City Pre-Council December 19, 2006 Page 17 of 18 some definitions and making sure it is compatible with our UDC and trying to take some of the vendor comments that are applicable and try to see if that is something we can work through the ordinance with. So, it is -that was the intent to bring it back after we have had a little more opportunity to get some of that cleanup done and get some further comment out there and have another discussion in front of the Council before we brought it forward. That was what our plan was. I think we wanted to introduce it tonight to make sure the Council knew it was on the radar screen, what was proposed. What has been handed to you certainly is not a final form by any means. There will be quite a few revisions of some sorts, but we have - I think we have got a lot of the kinks out of it. I think Deputy Silva has really done a great job at putting together a very good ordinance that other than a few things we need to iron out that we will be able to bring forward for further discussion next month. Wardle: Thank you Mr. Nary. Mr. Rountree. Rountree: Mr. President. Given our most recent successful consultation and cooperative effort with the county, I would hope that the county is very much involved in this and it seems to me that without them and without the other cities in Ada County and Canyon County for that matter, we are just kind of (inaudible) on this deal. I appreciate the effort that you have put into it. I know we talked about it previously and in even more draft form and you have made some other refinements here. Keep up the good work and when we see it again and have an opportunity to discuss the questions we might present to you, I would like to hear a rundown on what the status is in the other communities as well as with the Ada County Commissioners. Silva: Thank you Mr. President and Councilman Rountree, we did make a similar presentation to the Treasure Valley Partnership at the last regular meeting and we will be constantly taking some of those refinements at the other Fire Marshalls and the other departments have provided us input on and we welcome any comment that you may have on this proposal. Again it is a rough draft. We are the first ones that are pushing this forward so it has not moved forward in any other agencies, but the other agencies are anxiously awaiting to move forward at somewhat of a final version through their respective City Councils. Wardle: Thank you very much, much and we will bring that back end of our regularly scheduled entertain a motion to adjourn. Rountree: So moved. Council. Anything further? Thank you very forward. Council, with that it brings us to the and my final Pre-Council agenda. I would Bird: Second.

Discussion of Detox Center: De Weerd: Thank you. Item B under Mayor's office, we do have discussion of a detox center and tonight we have Sheriff Raney with us. Thank you for joining us, sheriff. Raney: It's a pleasure, Mayor. I'll hand this to you, unless you are overly awake and want to clear that, you might decide -- De Weerd: I did give them the executive briefing that you had given us -- or e-mailed to me. Raney: Well, there is an extra copy, then. De Weerd: Okay. Raney: And good evening and thanks for the opportunity to be here. I'd first like to talk to you not as the Ada County sheriff, because this isn't sheriffing business, this is about the business of our community and the fact that if somebody has a substance abuse problem, whether it be alcohol or methamphetimine or cocaine or whatever it may be, and they can't afford private treatment and they want to go to sober up or they want to go to get treatment, there is nowhere in Ada County where they can go and receive services. Where do they end up? Our police officers, our sheriffs deputies, our ambulances, end up taking them to the St. Alphonsus or St. Luke's emergency room, they sober up to the point where they are typically around a .30 or medically stable and, then, often end up in the Ada County jail. While some may think that we don't pay for those people to go to those emergency rooms, you all know better, as I certainly do as well, that impacts all of us. In the jail, the impact is not so significant in the jail, we take them into a sobering area within the booking station, they stay there for a number of hours, and they are probably released, not a great fiscal impact. But the time that it takes -- and I would leave it to Chief Musser to describe that for you as far as the City of Meridian goes, for the police officers to take them to the emergency room and sit with them until they are sober enough to be transferred over to the jail, has typically been a fiscal impact to each of the government entities. So, what happens is that I, as well as a number of people in this community, have been involved in that detox issue for a long time, talking about what we should do and what we can do and those are two different things. Time goes by, I, as well as some members of the audience, have been working on this issue and, low and behold, several weeks ago now the Ada County Meridian City Council September 20, 2005 Page 13 of 74 commissioners approved 6,075,000 dollars for me to build a jail medical facility attached to the jail. And without going into a lot of detail, the great need for Ada County is to actually have a better, sufficient medical facility to operate for the in-custody inmates. And it strikes me, when I realize that money is going to get approved, that there is some sort of logic here, because I see the need, I see a lot of good community will for a detox center, but I don't see the funding available, nor probably the space for some sort of relationship. When Mayor Coles had the detox initiative back in I believe it was 2002, it was going to be around seven million dollars to build and three million dollars per year to operate and that would be about a 12 to 18 bed facility. I called up an architect who has worked with us in the past and I said if we wanted to build at the same time we build the medical facility, if we wanted to expand that square into a rectangle and build a community detox center and that would not be part of the jail, it would not have an entrance through the jail, it would not be processing through the jail, it would not say Ada County sheriff, nor I think even Ada County above the door, but it would be a non- custodial community entrance that happens to be co-located with the jail. About what do you think that would cost? And he put pencil to paper and came back with about three million dollars. So, for probably double the number of beds we are at less than half of the price of a stand-alone facility. We put a little pencil to paper and because I have afull-time nursing staff in the Ada County jail, that nursing staff, I realize, could pass through a security door on their rounds, having just completed rounds for the jail medical unit, and go check the inmates in the custodial -- or in the non-custodial detox facility. Program staff that are already in the jail providing programs to Ada County jail inmates could pass through the secure doors and provide programs to community members on the community detox side. Security staff, obviously, are already present. The noncustodial facility, I think there is a good deterrence of some presence and certainly there will be problems there, there will be fights, there will be withdrawal issues, but, obviously, there are deputies there to attend to those. By those efficiencies, which is really what makes this attractive, the 2002 stand alone facility are getting operating costs to about three million dollars a year. Under this model we estimate the operating cost to about 800,000 dollars a year. Now, a good plan would come to you well thought out, well researched, well proposed, and ask you for financing. I don't have any of that stuff. What 1 have is an idea about how to make something happen in this community that I think, otherwise, probably can't happen. What I'm asking you tonight is to consider the very near future commitment -- and if you turn to about page three -- the very near future commitment of somewhere in the neighborhood of 52,290 dollars. And that's a rough figure. But you don't have to -- you don't have to decide today, because what I did, if you will follow this math, is I used 2004 census figures and Meridian has grown, but I think there is some proportion here and I proportioned out what the city populations were to the overall county population. So, if you follow that logic, the 2004 census figures show that the City of Meridian was 13 percent of all of Ada County population. I, then, applied the 800,000 dollar -- roughly 830,570 dollar operating cost to make a portion whereby Ada County would pay an amount for every citizen in Ada County. So, for all -- I think it's 340,000 people or so in Ada County, whatever that census figure was, Ada County would pay for each of those citizens. For each of them in Meridian as well. Then, on top of that, each city would pay an equal Meridian City Council September 20, 2005 Page 14 of 74 amount for the citizens in their city. So far everybody has felt that's a fairly fair formula. I just frankly -- De Weerd: Fairly fair? Raney: -- drew it out of my head, so if anybody has a better idea, they are welcome to put it on the table. But I think it is fair and I think the county accepts a lot of responsibility by donating the land for the facility, donating the operation, the liability for it being part of the jail, operating it with Ada County staff, but Ada County can't do this alone, Boise City can't do this alone, Meridian City can't do this alone, it takes government to make all of this happen and I think this is an equitable relationship of that financing. You may say what about going out and seeking federal funds, grant funds, state funds -- Health and Welfare has a nice pot of money for substance abuse right now, and it's my belief that I would welcome the use of that funding, but all good measures in this arena tend have a pattern and that is that everybody comes up with the money to build them, everybody comes up with grants for about the first one to maybe three years to operate them and, then, their grant funding runs out and they go defunct and close down. And without going into the belaboring of Community House, I think that's probably a good example of the best of intentions gone bad. I don't want to see that happen with this. So, I believe the government has to step up and make the commitment that this can't happen, coming up with -- in partnership of the county, all of the cities, and potentially St. Luke's and St. AI's, all of the capital funding to build it, all of the operating costs to sustain it, and, then, if, by chance, we can offset it with grant funds or other available monies, great, let's try to do that. But we have to have the commitment to make this sustainable ongoing with or without grant funds, because sooner or later they are not going to be there and this is something that needs to continue on in this community for some time to come. I have gone to the three county commissioners, to the CEO of St. Alphonsus Sandy Bruce, to the CEO of St. Luke's Ed Dahlberg, as well as every mayor and some of the councils were invited in this. I don't speak for any of them, other than to say nobody has said no and everybody believes that this has a lot of promise. By the financing alone, if we can't make this happen with this amount of money, then, we are not going to make anything happen for a long time to come, because a stand alone facility will be considerably more expensive to build, it will be considerably more expensive to operate. Taking this to some groups that include advocates, I was concerned about some of the stigma that might be present at attaching this to the jail. I had run this in my mind of what we may be able to do with landscaping, architecture, paint, and I think to be short, what I am going to ask -- if we can make this happen financially as government entities, there are a number of people - - City of Boise has a detox committee that has really done some good research. Each of the government entities, I believe, wants a voice in what may happen to some degree and some input, some knowledge of where their money is going, to be responsible to their constituencies. United Way of Treasure Valley has been very supportive and has offered a lot of resources and, in particular, Bob Banks, retired executive from Albertson's, who sits on the United Way board, along with me, has kind of taken this under his wing and he has built many many Albertson's stores and buildings across the country and is lending his expertise. So, I won't belabor this out. I will stand for Meridian City Council September 20, 2005 Page 15 of 74 questions from you or if you so care, I'm certainly open to standing for questions from the community, but I hope you embrace this and agree both that it's needed and that if -- if we can't make it now, we probably won't make it happen for many years to come and so, therefore, this is an opportunity we need to seize. I guess my last caveat is -- my first business responsibility is to operate the business of sheriff of Ada County. There is no greater liability and I have said this on the record many times before, there is no greater liability to Ada County in my mind than the medical facilities that we had. Our risk manager has agreed and so, unfortunately, with that, October 1st we are hoping to move ahead with the planning and construction of the medical unit. So, that's why I say, the very tight timeline and I apologize for that, this is I know very difficult for you. I will say there is a bright side and that is that it's going to take about 18 months to build. So, essentially, what I'm asking you for is somewhere in the neighborhood of whatever that figure was, 53,000 dollars, to be committed for your -- not this year's -- this coming year's fiscal budget, but next year's fiscal budget, prorated and offset as much as possible. But, then, a continuance for years to come beyond that. With that, Madam Flagship Mayor -- Rountree: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Rountree. Thank you. Rountree: The first comment is I want to commend you for taking this on. I think it's a very worthwhile cause and somebody had to do it. You mentioned a couple rather sizable nonprofit organizations in your discussion. Has there be any discussion about a public-private partnership involving them? Because, certainly, this would defray some of the costs that they don't recover when they have to deal with these in emergency room services. Raney: I have spoken with both of them. They are in some difficult positions, of course, with their own capital campaigns, as well as their perceptions of equity between their two organizations. And I don't get involved in that. Suffice to say that both have committed operating support to the best of their ability. Now, the difficult side is that we could allow a -- say, for example, a St. Alphonsus nurse to come over to the detox center and would welcome that support of having somebody come in and I see many community volunteers coming in, but on a daily operating cost, I, frankly can't let those nurses into the jail to take advantage of those efficiencies. What I have asked for from them in ongoing operating is the potential for psychiatric social services programs, tele- medicine, very important to me in reducing liability and getting good care for people. Both entities have committed a lot of support to saying they would welcome the opportunity to help with that. Beyond that, I will be meeting again with them very very shortly and I'm not sure what they are going to do. I think it's probably government's first role. They have looked at the cost benefit they know what that is. What they will do with those figures I can't say. Rountree: Madam Mayor, just a comment that that's what I wanted to hear it being talked about and I think they will probably be receptive in the long run. i Meridian City Council September 20, 2005 Page 16 of 74 Raney: They have been very supportive conceptually. Very supportive. De Weerd: Well -- and I think, too, as we discuss the substance abuse and like I talked about last week, we had our celebration of recovery awareness and a lot of it is what happens after they leave the detox center and that is where the community steps up and makes sure that these resources are known when those people pass through the doors, what the next steps are. And I believe that's what the community's role is in our for profit and our nonprofit and our faith based community in serving those people once they leave that they are not alone and I believe that our anti-drug coalition at that -- at that awareness day we talked about how many AA meetings are in the valley and I believe there were close to 300 a week, 30 a week out of the City of Meridian. It's a great segway into our next discussion, too, but, you know, the substance abuse issue in this valley has got to start meeting that head on. This is an excellent way to start with some of the mediation part of it, the prevention part, that they have been detoxing in our hospitals or in our jail without any of the resources once they leave and this gives hope for that better follow up. Raney: Absolutely true, Madam Mayor. And I might want to clarify what I see is a few sobering stations, a short-term transition, if people can afford it, then, certainly transitioning them, pairing up with community programs, whether it be AA or something else, but, frankly, there is a lot of limitations. We know that a lot of people are going to come in, sober up, they walk back out the door to go to the next bottle. Unfortunately, that's a reality, but Ihave afull-time staff member that does nothing but provide treatment after care programs out of the jail. I'm very proud of the success of the programs. In fact, we are just getting some research validation of the decreased recidivism of people that have gone through Ada County jail substance abuse and active behavior change programs. I had a staff member who provided that after care that the Mayor talks about. This would be a center where we could bring many after care providers, where you could return to -- initially there would be a little stigma, do I want to walk back up to the jail -- I think it will take a very short amount of time for word to spread you can walk in and receive care, whether it be sobering care, whether it be a program's care, and as long as you don't commit a crime you're going to walk back out. Donnell: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mrs. Donnell. Donnell: Sheriff Raney, you spoke to two of the things that came to my mind right off the bat and that's voluntary check in and also state support and I still believe -- personally believe that this is a state issue. It isn't an Ada County issue. It's not just a city in -- the cities in Ada County issue. It's something that, you know, the state needs to look at in terms of its support, just as it does -- whether that's through Health and Welfare or whatever. I, too, am concerned about a facility that would be part of the jail, whether it's a medical portion of it or whether it's, you know, bars and locks, it still, to me, has some issues about the comfort level of people who have not committed a crime Meridian City Council September 20, 2005 Page 17 of 74 and yet are either needing to sober up or check themselves in, whatever that happens to be. I think it's perhaps a good start. I have a lot of questions about it and probably the biggest one that I have, Council, is how we can dedicate funds next year, whether we are on the Council or not, whether we can make that decision or not. Those are funds that can be dedicated by, you know, the Council that happens to be the seat at the time. I mean we are allocating funds that we have no control over in this year for next year. Raney: Right. Donnell: So, those are just my comments. Raney: If I could, Madam Mayor, Mrs. Donnell, every government agency faces that same -- you cannot obligate future councils, the commissioners cannot obligate future commissions. I think what all of the government entities are looking for is a reasonable commitment, knowing that that's -- that we have to work within the law and that's the law. As far as state support, I have spoken with the first lady, who is very supportive of this and has a pretty good thumb on some access to recovery grant money currently in Health and Welfare's bank. Again, the sustainability of that money is limited. So, it's one of those pots of money that Isee -- if we can make this happen, we can probably offset some costs, get it going, and look at more a long term support. Right now I'm told there is not long-term state commitment, but there is short-term commitment money available. And, you know, just to further on the stigma, we talked about that over and over and, in fact, there is people in the audience who could speak to that, but Ithink -- I think it can be overcome. People come to the public safety building for a lot of reasons. They visit people in jail, they walk back out the door. They get their driver's license, they get their license plates, they get information -- it is an issue and there will be some lesser amount of service than if this was astand-alone facility somewhere down along the greenbelt or somewhere where the homeless population may -- it may serve a little bit better. I suppose my feeling is that something is better than nothing and I see the alternative as probably nothing. Donnell: Thank you. De Weerd: And we did talk about the grant funds, the access for recovery funds, and I saw the first lady today at the governor's coordinating council and those monies, you know, would most likely be available. I would say, too, that the state of Idaho in these grant funds is far above what other states are doing and it bodes well for more funding. It certainly isn't guaranteed. But I appreciate your cautious approach, too. And building a sustainability model on grant funds, you can't do that. Raney: Right. De Weerd: Chief, do you have anything you would like to add? .7 Meridian City Council September 20, 2005 Page 18 of 74 Musser: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, I would support the comments that Sheriff Raney has made at this time and also in conjunction with that, as we move to the next item, my sentiments are the same, that sometimes in order to get action on the part of the state we have to step up to the plate and kind of be the first ones and, then, they seem to follow in suit if we have something that's working and, then, they start making more of a focus on it. So, I would support the sheriff in that regard and I think we both have sat down and looked at a lot of the same types of studies and we were involved in a lot of the same types of programs and we see that trend occurring constantly. De Weerd: Thank you, chief. Council, any further questions? Did anyone want to provide any additional testimony? It's not a Public Hearing, but if you came to support the sheriff and you have anything to say, you're certainly welcome. If you -- you would need to come and speak into the record -- for the record. Please state your name. Lanier: My name is Charlotte Lanier. I am the spokesperson for the Community Detox Coalition, but I am a resident of Boise. And I heard through -- that tonight was your City Council meeting and we have been talking about -- in the Community Detox Coalition, we have been talking about the fact that, you know, what do the outlying communities -- because often what happens it becomes Boise centric. And that's why my friend and I came tonight, because we wanted to hear what your questions were, because this isn't just about Boise, this is about our whole county, and I personally have been touched by this problem. In the last year I lost my eldest son to a drug overdose and so I have become quite passionate. If my son, who was 23 at the time, had been able to get detox -- detox through a facility, I think he would still be with us. Unfortunately, he detoxed at my home and wasn't able to stay clean and sober. I think he was getting to that point. I think it's very clear that people who begin the road to recovery, they have slips and they have problems and sometimes it's a long journey, there are sometimes people that go through, you know -- like the sheriff was saying, there are people that go through maybe a couple of times or maybe -- I have talked to people in Portland that went through the Hooper detox five times before they got it, but once they got it what a blessing, because they are now productive people, you know, and we are not wasting money. And so this is something I really believe in and I would really like to see the county -- you know, all the players in the county -- also the community to get behind this and that way we'd also like to invite you to Soberfest, which is September 30th, which is going to be a community -- for the whole county community thing, a street dance, a party, to celebrate recovery, because we believe that this is something that needs to get attention in this community and we need to have some events where people actually are celebrating the folks that do make it and there are some of us that are trying. Thank you. De Weerd: Thank you so much. We appreciate that. Lanier: And I think what the sheriff is doing is very innovative and so does the -- and the Community Detox Coalition has voted unanimously to support him. De Weerd: Thank you. Meridian City Council September 20, 2005 Page 19 of 74 Curtis: I'm Melanie Curtis, I'm the Executive Director of Supportive Housing and Innovative Partnerships. We were a group that proposed to do detox about a year and a half ago. We have been working continuously on it and I am very happy to give our support to the sheriffs idea. We think it's a wonderful idea, because as we worked on it, did budgets, we knew that there is no way it's going to fly and no one organization can do it and it's going to take everybody coming together. And, you know, we have -- we have people to save. So, I just want to let everybody know that we are totally behind the sheriff in this endeavor. De Weerd: Could I ask a question? What kind of community support as far as financial and time-wise has your coalition been able to gather? Curtis: We have raised around 10,000 dollars and so we will -- we will be meeting -- we are putting on Soberfest as well. And so, hopefully, you all received invitations -- or they will be coming any day in the mail, but we -- that will also be a fundraiser for -- yes. That's it. That will be a fundraiser as well. And so what we -- what we currently do is we provide clean and sober housing. So, we are -- we are the resource that can step up after people have detoxed and provide that clean and sober housing with the accountability piece. So, we will be working together certainly. We look forward to working with all the city councils and Ada County and the mayors, as well as the sheriff, so -- De Weerd: Thank you so much. Well, thank you, sheriff. Do you have any parting remarks or -- I guess -- I guess there is a meeting this week. I have asked Chief Musser to represent the city at that meeting and certainly he would like to represent the thoughts of Council and so I think it would be helpful if you could give an indication of what your thoughts are. Bird: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Yes, Mr. Bird. Bird: They have got my support a hundred percent. And I'm sure that the citizens of Meridian will back a hundred percent, too, because it's a long overdue program and it helps everybody within the county, even within Treasure Valley, not just the county of Ada. So, you got my support a hundred percent. De Weerd: Thank you, Mr. Bird. Wardle: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Mr. Wardle. Wardle: Thank you, sheriff, for being here and presenting this. Certainly I support the notion and am optimistic of additional funding. I think that the city should certainly look Meridian City Council September 20, 2005 Page 20 of 74 at those.. One of the questions I had for the chief that I think will certainly make this easier, is in my mind this seems like a very large problem and I think if we actually got some data from our officers on incidents and things that are happening in our community, we could certainly justify at least this additional expenditure. And one additional question, sheriff. Is this an adult-only facility? What would be -- would there be any -- Raney: We believe it would probably be adult only. Both males and females would be the design, but, as I understand it, getting into allowing juveniles in there, which initially I wanted to do, but apparently in the non-custodial environment even it adds so much of a dynamic that I think we are going to be prohibited from that, sadly enough. De Weerd: That was a good question, Councilmember. I think, chief, that would be a very good idea to gather some information on what -- how it would impact us. I know the sheriff had mentioned time saving, officer time in our hospitals, and bringing them down to the jail, those kind of things. If it's something that we can capture, certainly, that will help with the compelling data to put money towards it. Musser: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, we can collect that data and have it for you. On an offhand, it's approximately anywhere from about four to four and a half hours per officer if we are on a mental hold or a detox hold at this time before we get clearances. So, that's a good portion of an officer's shift at any given time and it takes him completely out of the town. But I will get you some hard numbers on that. De Weerd: Okay. Wardle: And, Madam Mayor, just another number or a figure that might bring some light would be either perceived or verified overdose calls, which are certainly, I think, something that we have a tendency to overlook at certain times and would definitely warrant this center. Rountree: Madam Mayor? De Weerd: Yes. Rountree: I don't know that this -- we can necessarily make a motion, but my direction would be to have the city finance director Kilchenmann put this item on the list of things for consideration in rising to the level in the 2007 budget. Bird: If that's a motion, I second it. De Weerd: Okay. I don't know if we need a motion. It probably would be good for the record and maybe for the sheriff, but -- Rountree: I think that's the most commitment we can make. Meridian City Council September 20, 2005 Page 21 of 74 De Weerd: Yeah. Okay. Well, the motion is to direct the finance director to have it on our short-term planning budget for next year and it will come in front of the City Council at that time, with a favorable support at this moment. Is that a fair summary? Rountree: That's a good summary. De Weerd: Okay. Mr. Berg, I will call a roll call on this one. Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, yea; Wardle, yea; Donnell, yea. MOTION CARRIED: ALL AYES. De Weerd: Thank you, sheriff. Raney: Thirty seconds of indulgence for an editorial. I just want to say thank you, because when I have addressed this with every government unit, including my own, I appreciate Mayor de Weerd's leadership in how she addressed the issue. The questions were not about who else is going to be doing what, it's this is important and we should make it happen and you followed that up and I appreciate your community leadership. Thank you. 2. Discussion of Draft Pseudo-ephedrine Ordinance: De Weerd: Thank you. That does lead us into our next item and I apologize to those that are here for agenda items for public hearing. This is important city business. One of the discussion items we had last week was on the pseudo-ephedrine ordinance that I will ask Mr. Baird to give us an overview on. But substance abuse is an issue in our valley. Sheriff Smith over in Canyon County was doing an unofficial tally of some of his more recent guests that were coming into his jail and one hundred percent of them had a meth problem or had used meth and, certainly, this effort was in front of our legislature last year and there were some issues to work through. At the local level we feel that we have worked through those issues. We have worked with our retailers. A lot of the major retailers have already made a statement in putting pseudo-ephedrine products behind the counter and we are looking for some local efforts to do that and to have some enforcement to it. So, with that, Mr. Baird, I will turn this over to you for a brief summary and overview of what's in front of Council. Baird: Thank you, Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, what you have is a draft ordinance that was distributed to the Treasure Valley partners in an effort to have all the jurisdictions in Canyon and Ada County, including the municipalities and county governments to have a uniform regulation. We received a lot of input from the state police, from the state board of pharmacy, from our local law enforcement, from other prosecuting agencies and what you have is a compromise, what we feel is the least burdensome request for local regulation to the local merchants. Really, what it does is it puts in ordinance form what some merchants are already doing. It only addresses adult strength, it only addresses tablet form, so that jell caps, liquids, children's medicines will ., ~~ SOBERING STATION & DETOX CENTER ~ ~ ~' 1~ 12/13/2006 -STATUS REPORT ©~~ `~ ~ ~~~~ Oity n~Meridian I. PROPOSED FACILITY Oily Clcak Office A. OPERATIONAL MODEL - A 24-hour medically monitored alcohol and drug community sobering station and detox center for indigent patients treated by a professional, qualified staff. Typical stays for sobering will be 12 hours and typical stays for detoxification will be 5-6 days. Following sobering and/or detoxification, patients will be referred to appropriate education and treatment programs. B. SIZE -The facility will be capable to provide both sobering and detoxification services within a range based upon need and available operational funding. A 48 hour a week sobering with 12-bed detox can be provided for an annual operational budget of $1 million ($900,000 for detox and $100,000 for sobering). A 24/7 sobering with a 36-bed detox can be provided for an annual operational budget of $2.5 million ($2.15 for detox and $350,000 for sobering). Studies indicate a need for full capacity at this time. C. TIlVIE -The facility has an approximately 17-month design and construction timeline. II. BUDGETS A. LAND -The land at 324 Allumbaugh, Boise, Idaho is being provided by the City of Boise at no cost to the project. B. CONSTRUCTION -The project cost is estimated at $2.6 million. The City of Boise has approved $1,035,000 of CDBG funds and the project has been awarded $500,000 through the Region IV, Regional Mental Health Board from the State of Idaho. In addition, $10,000 from the Community Detox Coalition and $50,000 from United Way of Treasure Valley have been committed for construction. This leaves a pending balance of just over $1 million to be secured. C. OPERATION -The range of operation explained in section I.B. above is based on an annual operations budget ranging from $1 to $2.5 million. The needs of the community, the most efficient operation, and the largest tax savings indicate the $2.5 million budget needs to be implemented. A cooperative effort by Cities within Ada .County, Ada County, and the State is coming together now to successfully address costs. III. OPERATIONS Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center, Saint Luke's Regional Medical Center, the Veterans Hospital, and Terry Reilly Health Services are addressing the issue of finding an appropriate and professional solution. "~ ~ ~ DED 4 9 200 (shorter version appeared in The Idaho Statesman, Readers View -September 22, 2006) City ®f Meridiaol ~a~ ~leris D-l~e~ ,~~~~ .~~ ~ Y . `~= ~~ - United Way of Treasure Valley Update on the Proposed Sobering Station and Detoz Center Project By -Bob Banks, United Way of Treasure Valley Board Member, Impact Council Chair, Substance Abuse Recovery & Prevention Initiative Chair; and Member of the Mayor's Community Detox Steering Committee September is National Alcohol & Drug Addiction Recovery Month, which will be recognized, in part, by the Soberfest Celebration on September 30 in downtown Boise sponsored by the Community Detox Coalition. The event will focus on the need for a community Sobering Station and Detoxification Center in our community. Given that Mayor Bieter specifically addressed this issue in his recent State of the City Address, it seems most appropriate to update Idaho Statesman readers on our community-wide efforts to meet this need. Let's first review the reasons why it is so important to complete this project. United Way of Treasure Valley has repeatedly identified the lack of a Detox Center to serve the community - especially those unable to pay for services - as one of the greatest needs in our community. In addition to United Way, law enforcement agencies, hospitals, nonprofit organizations associated with the substance abuse problem directly and indirectly, and all levels of government agree that detox services are a critical community need. These findings have been substantiated by the 2002 Treatment-On-Demand Study written by the Center for Health Policy at Boise State University. And, when we discussed the status of our community with an expert in this area - Mr. Ed Blackburn, Director of Health and Recovery Services at Central City Concern in Portland, Oregon - he stated that the first and most important step in development of a continuum of services begins with a detox center and followed by a continuum of services addressing substance abuse. In our community, a Sobering Station and Detox Center will contribute to a stronger community for the following reasons: • It will make the community a safer place to live. Since 80-90% of local crimes are committed with substance abuse as a factor, a reduction in substance abusers will equate directly to less crime. • It will save lives. Eight often suicide attempts are related to substance abuse. • It will improve the quality of health care and help reduce its cost. With a Sobering Station, intoxicated individuals will no longer have to be taken to our hospital emergency rooms. • It will reduce the cost of law enforcement. With a Sobering Station, law enforcement will have a more efficient and effective means for caring for intoxicated individuals. * • „ ~, • It will improve the quality of our community's work force making businesses more efficient. A reduction in substance abusers reduces the number of employees calling in sick due to their addiction problems. • It saves children. Children of addicted parents are in the highest risk group of becoming drug and/or alcohol abusers; plus they are also at risk for school failure and dropout. According to the State of Idaho, in fiscal year 2005 Idaho had 3,335 foster kids in care statewide. About 80% of them came from substance abuse situations. • It saves many more taz dollars than it will cost. Since 85% of the criminals in our jails and penitentiary are incarcerated on a substance abuse related crime, a reduction in substance abusers will reduce the number of people that need to be incarcerated and increase the number of productive citizens. A study by the California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs states that treatment saves $7 for each dollar invested in detoxification programs. Over the past two years, a broad, citizen-based Community Detox Steering Committee, appointed by Mayor Bieter, has been exploring options for providing community sobering and detoxification services to low-income residents. Several different options have come close to becoming reality, but fell short of achieving their goals. None the less, representatives from all levels of government, non-profit organizations, and dedicated individuals continue to work to develop a workable and sustainable plan. We are getting closer. And, we will get it done. But there is still much that needs to be accomplished. What can you do to support this effort? Become knowledgeable about the need and voice your support whenever an opportunity presents itself. Additionally, you can volunteer to participate in the organizing, planning, and/or fund raising efforts by dialing 2-1-1 and asking how to get involved with Boise's Community Detox Center. Creating a Community Sobering Station and Detoxification Center is a critical step in improving the quality of life for our entire community. We are so fortunate to live in a community and a State that cares about all its citizens.

You may have just abused your spouse, maybe committed a crime, and maybe tried to drive somewhere. Perhaps you end up in a crisis situation, and decide you're ready to get off the stuff. What options do you have in Boise? You could be arrested. If you really hadn't committed a crime, they would let you dry out, and then let you go. Had you thought you might get some treatment, some hint of a direction for further services? You will not. You could go to the local hospital. You'd waste your time. They'd check you over, and unless you had °medical toxicity° -fairly rare -they'd send you somewhere else. Did you know you could call the state program? And if you have some time and lots of motivation, you might be lucky enough to get a bed at Port of Hope. But don't count on it. Most people have to wait, and many just give up trying to get in. You know, if you're not insured, there really aren't any options.° This study documents the need for detoxification services in Boise City through the eyes of 33 °experts° involved in these issues day to day. These experts first characterize the gap in treatment. They then recommend solutions, and some of the results they think the community might see. Rates of alcohol and drug abuse are worse in the Boise area than in the rest of the state and nation. Five percent of adults in Health District 4 were at risk for chronic drinking compared to 4.3 percent statewide. Among adults in Health District 4, 17.7 percent .were at risk for acute drinking in 2000 compared to 14.9 percent statewide. Chronic drinking is defined as consuming 60 or more drinks of alcohol per month. Being at risk for acute drinking is defined as consuming five or more drinks of alcohol (where a drink is defined as one can or bottle of beer, one glass of wine, one can or bottle of wine cooler, one cocktail, or one shot of liquor) on one or more occasions in the past 30 days. As with alcohol use, rates of illicit drug use were higher in Health District 4 than statewide. Rates of illicit drug use statewide are similar to those of the rest of the country. A 1999 national study found 6.2 percent of Idaho's population over age 12 reported past month use of any illicit drug while a Percent of Idaho Adults Who Report Use of Illicit Drugs ~~~ 40 ~ ~ 33.7 Q o ~ t .o ZU ~ Idaho c 15 ^ Distic# 4 v 10 6.1 a b 4.7 4.3 . os - 0 Ever used Used any Used Used Used ilicitdrugs ill~it dug marijuana cocaire n crank h in past in past pastyear past y®r year year Source: Idaho Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, 1999 Survey Data, Bureau of Vital Records and Health Statistics, Idaho Department of Health and Welfare. 2001. similar 6.4 percent nationwide reported such use (National Household Survey on Drug Abuse [NHSDAj, 1999). Center for Health Policy, Boise State University THE NEED FOR SUB~CE ABUSE DETOXIFICATION SERVICES Both quantitative and qualitative data illustrate an unmet need for detoxification services in Boise CitylAda County. An estimated 17,410 persons age 12 or older were at risk for substance dependence in 2000 in the study area. Key informants estimate that some 310-330 persons per month present to service providers in need of detoxification and seeking help to break their addiction. Despite the need, our state ranks low among other states in the nation in funding treatment services. Data from a 1995 data set shows that Idaho had the third lowest rate of inpatient and residential substance abuse treatment of any state in the nation (measured as a rate of persons in inpatient or residential treatment per 100,000 population) -only Vermont and Indiana were lower (SAMHSA, 1998, p. 328). This unmet need impacts the entire community through decreased quality of life, increased costs for health care, decreased productivity of our work force, and increased taxes to pay for public services to address the- consequences of substance abuse. Boise City law enforcement estimate that at least $300,000 per year in officers' time is spent providing custody for incapacitated people in need of detox because there is no place for them to go (Maxson, J., 2002). Drug and alcohol addiction are implicated in the incarceration of 84 percent of Idaho's prison population, costing taxpayers around $244,000 per day to house them (Camopis, M., personal communication, February 22, 2002). In 1998, 10.8 percent of the $2.2 billion Idaho state budget, or $237 million, was spent on programs related to alcohol and drug abuse (National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University, 2001). Of this $237 million, 3 percent was spent directly on prevention and treatment. The remaining 97 percent, or $230 million, was spent on programs in justice, child/family assistance, public safety, health, education, etc., on issues directly related to substance or alcohol abuse. In other words,.three cents of every Idaho taxpayer dollar spent on substance abuse in 1998 was allocated to prevention and treatment, while the remaining 97 cents went towards public programs dealing with the results of alcohol or drug abuse. A better community, less crime, reduced I ~ suicides, less domestic violence, less child abuse, less death on the highways: All of these were mentioned as possible if the community could better address the problem of substance abuse. Detoxification is a first step in a continuum of services that comprise the solution. As one respondent quoted, °it's almost criminal what we do to people here when they need substance abuse treatment." It is .hard to capture the sense of urgency and despair of the survey respondents. This need is painful, large, and growing. It may be difficult in times of financial constraint to find ways to fund such services. But, it is the wrong decision not to fund them. Treatment works; it saves $7 for each dollar invested (California Dept. of Alcohol and Drug Programs, 1994).
