As some of you know, we have our 10th anniversary faith based conference tomorrow at fellowship chapel from nine to four. At this current moment, we have 456 people RSVPed. So we're incredibly excited. Our goal was 500 so if none of you have RSVPed yet, you might put us over the edge, so you still have time to register. The second item is on Friday, July 19, we have our transition aged youth forum, which is a discussion with young people about transitioning from high school to college and from college into life. So if that's something that interests you, if you have young people that are interested in attending that, that's at the Considine center, we would love to have you or your your loved ones. And the third thing is, and this is something that we're very excited about, we're going to have a Michigan candidate forum. So that will also be at the Considine center on Thursday, July 25 from 10 to three. So we are inviting representatives from the legislature to have conversation with us, specifically designed around folks who have disabilities and those with mental health and substance use disorder issues, so we can share with them what our concerns are and how we can work together. That's all I have. Thank you.
Any questions for Ms Devin, I thank you very much. Are there any board member announcements at this time? Any board member announcements? Okay, seeing no hands, we'll proceed on with our next agenda item, which is the board committee reports. So we'll start with the board chair report. And there's a number of items that are there that are semi announcements, but nevertheless they're part of the board chair report. The community mental health associations of Michigan's fall conference is coming up. So we just wanted to make note of that that's occurring in October. We have, at this time, at least one board member that is attending, and there may be more that will be attending that meeting, the natcon, the National Council of, excuse me not, that con, the National Council of mental wellness. Their fall conference, their conference next year, excuse me, is in Philadelphia. It'll be in May, and we look forward to that those are usually very informative, and opportunity to network the Regional Chamber of Commerce meeting and the Mackinac policy conference is scheduled for May of 2025, and we know that they've changed their registration process. So just taking note of that, and Miss blackshire, who's doing a wonderful job of keeping us on target with all of the changes and what we need to do to make sure we have a presence at that time. All right, that's those are all the announcements that I wish to make. Mr.. McNamara, there were you? Okay? All right, moving on, then to the executive committee report. There are a number of items there to support on. So the Executive Committee met this past Monday. We did discuss the CEO transition, and there's a number of updates there. So what some of the updates are relative to the CEO transition. I thank you all know, and we are pleased to state once again that the interim CEO is Mr. Manny singular, so he's here with us today. So we're pleased to to announce that in terms of the transition, we also have an interim agreement in place, and we have also established a search committee, which I will give a report on the search committee momentarily. There has been discussion in terms of the transition relative to our outgoing CEO, and we'll have some more conversation about that later in this meeting, and also later today. And you have informed of you some information. I did ask Mr. Doa to give us a list of priorities, which he did. Mr. Singla has that, as well as all of the board members have that, and we'll be monitoring our continuing progress with those priorities that we have set as a board and that we all agree with. The other thing is, I've asked mr.. Sister Doa regarding what he has done in terms of his accomplishments. And again, there'll be more on that as we go through our proceedings for the day. And I'm recommending, after discussion with the search committee, that we look at the things that he accomplished in this tenure, during this time, and that we I'm recommending that based on the items that he accomplished, based on the goals that had been previously set, that we acknowledge his good work, that we acknowledge those accomplishments, and that we give him a portion of the bonus that will go along with those accomplishments. So the board members you have in front of you that information, and the recommendation is here for a bonus of about $45,000
Madam Chair, Yes, Madam Chair, I'd like to make the motion to move to report, I mean, to support the chair's recommendation for granting a bonus of $45,000 to Mr. Doyer, the CEO support.
Thank you. It's been moved and supported, and we recognize this is discretionary, but this is something that the board wants to do and show our appreciation for the accomplishments.

She also has asked, and we have agreed to a special presentation, a brief presentation between herself and the auditors to give us further assurance we are assured, but to also, as a reminder, a refresher, and give us a further assurance of all the checks and balances that we have in place regarding our finances. Miss Durant, did I characterize that correctly? Okay, thank you. All right, that concludes my report from the executive committee.

Our second new business item is board action. 2470 is around the concert design, Little Rock Center, Life Center. Is there someone to speak on that? Please? Oh, right here.
Good afternoon. Mike Maskey, Vice President of Facilities, I'm presenting a board action 2470 this is for the Considine center. The Considine center is where we use utilize storage. We also use it for community events as well as document distribution to the different providers. This is asking for an extension in the lease in the amount of $21,000
Madam Chair, yes. Okay. You may remember, when we first enter into this lease, I had some concerns as it relates to the structure and some of the other, you know, facility issues. And we were told when we initially did the contract, it was going to be there, it was going to be utilized for temporary on a temporary basis. Now I'm based upon this board action recommendation. It is basically being intended to be used more long term. We just built, in that area, in that community, multi million dollar facility there that we also say that would be open to the public and for the public unit utilization of that of our building. Just asking, has the plans changed as it relates to long term relationship and use utilization of the Considine? So
we are exploring other options as of right now. The logistics for the facility that we just built, we're having some trouble in terms of storage. A lot of the materials that we store there are palletized, and we do get frequent deliveries of those. The logistics to get them in and out of the facility, to be able to distribute them, is one of the concerns that we have. We are exploring other options as of right now. Considine is our best option, you know, for the for the work that we're providing there.
Okay, so I would like to us to find a permanent solution. It does not cost $21,000 when we invested in, you know, this type of, you know, investment in the area. I'm just
thank you, yeah, Miss Ruth
missionary. We during the Finance Committee meeting. I know you weren't present, but we did raise those concerns as well. We did bring up the point that you brought up initially about this being temporary. So I do understand that we had explored the option being able to terminate the contract within 30 days being necessary, but there was going to be some Oh, am I? Hello. Okay. Is that better? So there are exploring some options to terminate them, to terminate the contract within 30 days, once we deem investigation as to what is being held there, then we have a better solution. We did raise those issues. Yeah, we recall we raised those issues during the Finance Committee. Do you want chairman and Miss Van Tuli ms ventuzi had actually brought the point of being able to cancel the contract within 30 days. Great, great point
to see. Did you want to comment? Good. Okay, she's been okay, all right. Mr. Masky, do you have any reaction to the comments? Yeah,
so, so per the contract, there's a 60 day notice required for termination. Believe that was the question.
Well, there is an alcohol you said 60 day notice, yes, ma'am,
Madam Chair, yes. So sorry, I couldn't get myself off mute. I think the only thing we need to decide on, and I don't know that we have, is making sure that we're giving the team a time frame of Wendy, can get back to us. I understand we added the 60 day outlaws, but we have to say whether we need 16 or 90 days to come back with a plan of how we're going to get out of this lease so we can give the appropriate notice.
So I don't know,
yeah, I don't know how long it would take the team to get through that assessment and come up with some solutions. So is 60 days reasonable? Is 90 days more reasonable? So we need to hear their suggestion and come up with a decision as a board.
Thank you. Ms bentucy, Mr. Math, thank you. So
we're in the process of putting together basically a summary of what's at the facility and what it would take to transition to another facility or an existing facility to meet our needs, I would recommend that 90 day period to do that, to present that.
Okay, so do we need to amend this motion? Well, we don't have a motion, but amend this board action recommendation that say that this is good, and we are expecting to have a 90 day report back to the Finance Committee on other options. Madam Chair, yes,
I move approval of this board action, board action 2470 with the understanding that a transition plan is to be reported back to the Finance Committee. Within Are you saying 90 days? Madam Chair, yeah, that was Miss Ben Tuesday's recommendation. 90 days. Yeah, support.
So it's been moved and supported. All right. Any further discussion? I see no hands All in favor. Signify by aye, any opposed? Any abstentions? All right, thank you. Thank you. Mr. Matthews, all right, so that concludes all of our staff recommendations. We do have some ad hoc committee reports that we want to go through and make sure that all board members are aware. The policy bylaw Committee, Mr. Phillips shared that there was a meeting, but I got a report. You have the report, all right? Mr. Glenn, okay.
Thank you, Madam Chair, the bylaws and Policy Committee met June 25 there was a full agenda. During that meeting, the committee reviewed the board of self assessment and the number of board members that would need to respond to consider the self assessment be deemed as finalized and to go to a vote of the full board. Committee recommended that at least two thirds of the board members needed to respond, and if there was not two thirds participation in the assessment, if it wasn't two thirds participation, the assessment would be resent to the board with due dates being established by the board chair. There was also discussion regarding there being a penalty for board members that can consistently did not complete the assessment. Committee felt that this was a fiduciary responsibility, and board a fiduciary responsibility. Of the board and 100% participation was expected. Legal was request, was requested to develop language that would be inserted into the policy. Policy would be brought back to the committee for review, and then the full board with for consideration. A similar discussion took place regarding the CEO appraisal, and it was determined that two thirds of the board needed to respond to the appraisal. However, it was requested that a legal opinion be requested from the board council to determine whether the whether a percentage should be set. The information will be presented at the next committee meeting. The travel policy was also discussed. The committee reviewed the county's travel policy and legal will bring forth the city's travel policy for review. It was noted that the county is considering purchasing of they're considering purchase cards, and that the city would issue travel vouchers which contain any per diem necessary. There was a brief discussion regarding the number of people that attended conferences that are extremely expensive and are non education. This item will be discussed further with the policy committee chair and the board chair. A CEO stipend was also discussed, and this item would be considered during CEO contract negotiations. It was determined that no policy needed to be developed for that particular item. The committee also discussed the interim CEO policies and procedures. Current process will discuss. Mister Conley will research and bring back committee information on success, on the succession planning. There was also bylaws review of the special and ad hoc committees as it pertains to the board, building committee, strategic planning committee and policy bylaw committee and their reporting structure. It was discussed that some committees report directly to the full board, while others report to the executive committee and then the full board, and that there should be a consider a consistency with reporting to of ad hoc committees and special committees. It was recommended by the committee that policy and bylaw committee become a standing committee. This recommendation would be brought back to the full board for consideration after legal reviews the bylaws legal also noted that a bylaw change will require a two thirds votes for the full board. That concludes my report for the bylaws, Madam
Chair. Thank you. Are there any questions? For Mr. Glenn? Madam
Chair,
yes. Commissioner,
there was clearly intent and that meeting that certain actions would be brought here. I think the action of the 2/3 response was to be acted on. I think the last part would the last item we discussed was tied to additional information from the lawyers, but we did vote on the 2/3 response piece there. I don't think that was tied by it to an attorney's opinion. Okay, yeah, alright.
So, so by virtue of voting to approve this report, will we be approving that, yes.
All right, so moved, Madam Chair,
moved and supported any more discussion. We're talking about the two thirds. Support two thirds as it relates to the board assessment, response to the board assessment. All right, seeing no hands.

So those are the official members of the search committee and Commissioner Kinloch, and Commissioner Kinloch, who is serving as the vice chair of the search committee. So we did have a meeting. We had a very lengthy discussion on the process and many items related to doing the search and we have a resolution that I believe summarizes what the direction that we have agreed that we are recommending that the board adopt and take. I've asked Miss Ruth to please read the resolution. Miss Ruth,

We believe we've got a lot of talent in the state of Michigan, so necessarily need to search for on the outside. So this is very happy about about this. Alright, so that's all of our ad hoc committee reports. We're now going to hear from mister Manny singular, who is our interim president and CEO. Mister singular,
Good morning, Madam Chair, esteem board members. First of all, I would like to take an opportunity to thank the board for entrusting with an opportunity to provide the support during the interim role. And I look forward to working with everybody who's in this room and outside to work closely and ensure there is continuity to the services that we are so trusted to support to the members out there. I want to share some of the key items, and we'll have a detailed presentation at the annual meeting as well, in terms of crisis center. When we created a crisis center, when we decided at the location, we did the population health management, we did everything that we possibly could think from a strategic and data. But I really think when you look at all of that coming together, and you finally evaluate the data that comes from a services there is a retrospection. We look at our adult unit to be at 100% capacity. We're serving people. 38% of those individuals were actually admitted in hospital in the last nine months. But to me, that's a big testament as to why that care was needed and how well miss Wolff and her team are exceptionally supporting through with our clinical folks to provide the members the necessary care and intervention that's needed. We're able to do 130 dispositions when it comes to our mobile crisis teams. To me, I think that speaks a volume about the community outreach and members trusting us to take those services when they're in crisis, ability of our law and partners to leverage us as a as a resource, and ability to make us provide necessary interventions when they are needed. We all this data speaks of the fact that whatever we are using from our strategy data standpoints, is in lining up to the outcomes, and we need to keep that direction from that standpoint, second aspect, and you know, in terms of stability plan, as you know that the PHA has ended, so there is no specific stability that's out there, but I continue to work with our CFMs, JC Durant, look at any and all creative ways to look at any incentive, dollars, anything that is tied to member outcome, positive outcome, whether it's a reduction of hospitalization, it will be a new incentive that will be rolling out very shortly, as a pilot, which is a very creative approach where members receive adequate services in the right setting, and not hospital if they can be avoided. That's something will be rolled out. I want to acknowledge lot of providers you know, whether it's Carol zunga and at Downey folks from Guidance Center, they've come and approached us with very creative ideas that we're looking to bring in as part of those incentive programs, and really leverage that from both an outcome for the members as well as making sure there is a viability into the progress that we built in terms of integration. Pleased to announce that we are actually in contract with two additional health plans, as we speak of this morning. So that puts a total of five health plans. The difference between these two health plans is we are including substance abuse care for aging population as part of that metrics to be evaluated for integration standpoint. And that is something that the community needs a lot, and we need to create more resources for supporting those. Finally, in terms of long term residential care, we're looking to get into a contract with a private partner to open a 52 bed long term, long term, long term care facility. The mix is going to be a 31 bed long term psychiatric support and a 21 bed long term geriatric support. And I want to emphasize on the geriatrics board, because I know some of the board members have brought it up to say, what is that we are doing for the aging population, and they're dealing with dementia, and they're dealing with Alzheimer's, dealing with mental illness at the top of looking for resources to make sure that they are being taken care of. And this specific facility right in the heart of Detroit is going to be the first of its kind where those long term care will be needed. Are needed and are going to be provided. One aspect that I want to close with is we're going to have as part of that partnership, a clinical oversight with that entity, because I really think that takes a lot into consideration, a proper discharge planning, ensuring that members are coming up with the right medical assessment. Necessity and at the same time, they're discharged into a safe community out there, whether it's outpatient services or working closely with the provider partners out there. And that's where I really think we're going to partner with the community and the providers to ensure that specific facility gets utilized for most appropriate care that's needed. I'll open it up for any questions, Madam Chair and the Board Members, any questions
for Mr. Singular, all right, if you can see that we've got a lot of good things that are in progress and things that have happened, and we'll continue to see the building of an integrated network. So thank you. Mr. Singular, will receive and file your report. I do need to say to board members and I apologize for my missing something as part of the CEO search committee you have in your package the job description, the job description for the CEO that will be part of what is posted, neglected to mention that, but we do need your approval because some minor changes were made. Mr. Connolly, would you please come to the podium and just highlight what changes were made? Please?
Morning. Thank you. Madam Chair. Jody Connolly, Vice President human resources, Troy Wayne and greater health network. Um, the changes to madam chair's point were very minor. We did move some of the language up for up higher in the qualifications with regard to the committee's uh ability to change or make uh accommodations to the qualifications they deemed appropriate. And there were also additional language added to the quality of experience with regard to the management of budgets and the administration of staff of, I believe, 300 or more.

has been elected to be, not only elected to be on the Detroit Police Commission, which was outstanding, but he is also currently the chair of Detroit Police Commission. Thank you that.

Is there anyone else in the audience who wishes to make comment during this time? Yes, please come to the podium, if you just line up at the podium, if you wish to make
Hi there. Chris Egan, Chief of Allen Park Police Department. I just wanted to give you two quick notes. We're part of downriver fan and our comeback quick team has done great work helping to get people into treatment. We wear jeans and polos. We drive an unmarked car. Knock on the door, and I can tell you, as a member, I've said, Hey, this is Chris. I work for the police department. I don't care if you have a warrant, I don't care if you're in trouble. We're here. I know you just had an overdose, and we want to be able to help you a couple of friends in the car who's been where you're at. And then I step out of the way. They do all the heavy lifting. We're approaching 60 different people in the last four years. We've gotten a treatment, and then we've added another program with the Guidance Center. CEO Laura heights here and Rich castiles from South Gate Guidance Center. They
call it the map, big, fancy mental health thing. I'm just a country boy from Virginia. I called it friends in little places. And one of our officers has an iPad in their car. And when they deal with people in crisis, literally, you hit a button and master level mental health worker comes on, and we've been able to get people in treatment with that too. So us Southgate and Riverview kind of a beta program, and it's been phenomenal. So I'm really proud of that program, and just wanted to let you guys know that Thank you.
Great anyone else in the audience, please come to the podium on the line up there. Then we will ask about people that are online, but we're doing the audience first. Thank you guys for your wonderful leadership, and thank you mr.. Adams and Angelo for the recognition. Definitely want to uplift Brooke Blackwell for her rapid response to the mass shooting that happened in the city of Detroit, where it's the worst mass shooting in the state of Michigan, and I think this organization need to be very, very focused and pay close attention to these, to the violence that's going on in our community, in terms of the Mental Health Nexus that's connected to that, as well as the substance use disorders that's entrenched. But we, Councilman Benson and I, and a group of legislators we met, and we knew that we needed the crisis center, the crisis mobile mobilization out there in that particular community. And she respond very, very quickly to that. And had mental health experts out there. You know, these are young black teenagers, in some cases, that were shot, two killed, 15 girls were shot, you know. And the community is traumatized by that, you know. And so this is something that this organization need to continue to pay attention to in terms of the violence that's going on in Wayne County, not only in the city of Detroit, but in Inkster and all other pockets, in terms of how we can deliver services to our young people, to be able to give them some hope. And so thank you very kindly. Brooke Blackwell, and thank thank this board for being able to make sure there's resources available to be able to help touch the lives of the community that is traumatized. Thank you. Mr. Woods, thank you.
All right, any other person here wishing to make a comment, yes. Mr.. Wash, I think I would like to highlight also an experience, thank you, an experience that we had at my organization at Sara Metro. I did bring it up at a previous meeting, but I think the annual meeting is the right place to bring it up again. We we have a charter school that is under the Detroit Public Schools community district. It's called the Youth Build Learning Academy at Samaritan center, and we have, we actually are helping students who have really been suspended permanently from Detroit public schools to obtain their high school diploma or their GED there, they tend to be older youth, and we had two students, they were boyfriend and girlfriend who went home one day, and we always fear this because of the the barriers that a lot of our young people have in that community
on the east side of Detroit, and there was a drive by shooting, and the boy was killed, and the girlfriend, you know, obviously it was a tragedy, not just for them, but for our students, for our staff, and we didn't know what to Do the next day. You know, we So we reached out to I reached out to bro, and she was staff out there, or people out there to help, you know, our staff, our students, deal with this tragedy. So I just wanted to highlight that, because this is what our organization does, and we desperately need it. And so thank you, Brooke and the staff who helped us through that tragic situation. Thank you.
I think the one continues to have a positive impact, which is what we see as part of our vision. Trent, will you ask if anyone is online that wishes, or is it I missed? No, yeah, I was just going to say, you know, we hear the accolades associated with MS Blackwell and how responsive she is, but you know, she responds to so many I have called her on, called on her on a number of occasions for residents, who's contacted me, and I'm just she's available, literally, 24 hours. She's D wins self contained. She's D wins self contained. 911, and I'm just telling you she's you've been excellent, you know it. And thank you for taking
