Did not receive the grant. Steve Katsurinis, Chief of Staff for the =

grant. They have some discretionary funds that we will be discussing and =

Handouts provided. Population based on what Idaho wants. List does =

funding available. Larry Callicut=C2=A0=E2=80=93 how many people have =
not qualified but have tried to get services? Amy Holly-Priest =E2=80=93 =
yes, BPA does know how many people have tried to access services but =
have not qualified. Some of the DU=E2=80=99s presented by DHW this year =
are to cover the populations that are not currently being covered. =
Sharon Burke =E2=80=93 is there any discussion on getting a FY08 =
supplemental to cover some of this instead of just waiting until the =
next fiscal year to cover those populations? Dick Schultz - Not at this =
time. Sharon Burke can help provide numbers on what the need is. =
The budget sub-committee should consider if any of the FY09 =
requests should be moved to a FY08 supplemental request. Patti =
Tobias =E2=80=93 all misdemeanor offenders are not on list because we =
are in a shortfall of funding. County populations tend to have more =
intense care needs because there is not treatment available to them in =
the system as there is for the felons in=C2=A0DOC. There is no =
intervention for the county people b/c there is no court involvement and =
no PO. Shane Evans =E2=80=93 recommends that we look at the Washington =
Public Policy model. Debbie Field=C2=A0will send the power point to the =
group. Patti Tobias =E2=80=93 can we add the misdemeanor population to =
the list? Just so that we then know that the only restriction in not =
helping them is budgetary, not that we didn=E2=80=99t include them. Last =
year we had 11 million for the adults, this year we only have 4.5 =
million. Motion by Patti that this list is good, but noting that this =
