Mr. Ruiz thanked Loran Humphrey building and grounds director for assisting with the <br /> mowing. They completed the job in 2 hours instead of the 6 hours that it usually <br /> takes them to mow it. Hopefully they will be able to mow every other week <br /> Quandt questioned if there are mental health issues at the jail and Mr. Ruiz stated that <br /> that is a big problem. They had a couple of suicide attempts this weekend and two in <br /> the first part of June. They are usually drug or alcohol related mental health problems. It <br /> will not get any Tess because people are not getting the mental health services that they <br /> need. <br /> Lancaster noted that there is now a mental health component at the corrections <br /> department and this has helped with the EPC costs. Mr. Ruiz stated that education is <br /> also important. <br /> Ziola noted that law enforcement is intercepting the mental health cases and they are <br /> coming directly to the hospital or a mental health facility. <br /> Arnold noted that it was a long process closing the mental health facilities so there hasn't <br /> been a dramatic increase. The mental health component at the jail is a big advantage. <br /> They receive the help they need and then are referred for services on an outpatient <br /> basis. <br /> Mr. Ruiz stated that they do have success stories they leave with a treatment plan and <br /> with a supply of the necessary medications. <br /> EXECUTIVE SESSION — Arnold made a motion and Ziola seconded to go into executive <br /> session.
