Introduction of guests: Keressa Kerr, Erik Johnson, Brandon Smith, and Travis Graham.

Motion by Starns, second by Bolen, to approve Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) minutes:

i. February 22, 2024 special meeting All aye.

Discussion, consideration, and possible action to approve or approve as amended identifying the project or projects for the Opioid Settlement Funds: Christian is waiting for a call back from Turn Key Health about treatment program services for the jail that they may offer in addition to what the jail already receives through their contract.

Brandon Smith, ABHC, stated he is the coordinator who with the Sheriff’s authorization can access the jail to work with new offenders. He does screenings and through those, he can make recommendations for substance abuse such as providing counseling. Smith asked about what kinds of ideas of treatment in the jail are being targeted. Is it dealing with withdrawals, mental health, severe substance abuse, and medical treatment? Christian said the jail sends the person to the hospital if he/she shows signs of being severely high from drug abuse. Smith also talked about a program that is jail-based and used in prisons called Moral Recognition Training (MRT). This program is used to try to replace negative behavior with positive. Training for jails to know signs of going through withdrawals is also important.

Erik Johnson, D.A., explained how the 780 & 781 grant funds project through the Department of Mental Health if awarded will be used for successful Specialty Courts graduates to be able to attend the Pontotoc Technology Center to get the proper training and education to get a good job. He would like for the Opioid Abatement Grant project(s) to be complimentary to the 780 & 781 grant projects.

Prince stated the 780 & 781 grant funds will be able to help with transportation to the PTC for Specialty Court graduates (Phase 3) to obtain job training and or housing. He would like the number one target for the Opioid funds to be for treatment services in the jail.

Frye explained the housing issues while going through the Specialty Courts program. Phases 1 & 2 are rough. Starting the program most of the time the participant does not have the money to pay the $100.00 deposit and $125.00 weekly rent. Shelters are full. They can’t focus on their sobriety, get their children back, mental health, and nutrition without housing.

Travis Graham, Pontotoc Technology Center Superintendent reported about 5,000 students per year. He is trying to help with funding for programs. They offer CDL driver training, welding, and HVAC among many others. Also, PTC received a 5.4-million-dollar grant and will be renovating one of its buildings to offer a work-ready program in a good atmosphere. No action.

Discussion, consideration, and possible action to approve or approve as amended completing the Opioid Abatement Grant Application: March 29th is the deadline for submission of the Opioid Abatement Grant Application. The BOCC and the committee have set a deadline of March 18th for submitting proposals with budgets to Krystina Phillips, Assistant District Attorney, for her to complete the application. The proposals will be submitted by Prince for transportation, Frye for housing, and Christian for treatment in the jail. Also, there will be three letters of support to be sent in with the application. Motion by Starns, second by Davis, to approve. All aye.
