Old Business

I.   18-3829     Approval of funding amounts for FY19

                       The coordinator informed the board of their budget for funding. Hunter explained the reason the County Board cut the Mental Health Board funding request. St. Julien thanked the agencies for their applications. He proposed that the board not do mini-grants in 2019 to allow for most of the agencies to get the funding they requested. This proposal would fund every agency except Centerstone at their requested amount. Centerstone would get an additional $5,546 which is less than their requested additional $29,000. A motion was made by St. Julian, seconded by Treasurer Flowers, to authorize funding the agencies at the requested level except for Centerstone which will receive $5.546 over their 2018 funded amount. The motion carried by unanimous vote.
