- $1.48 million for infrastructure (ventilation improvements and stormwater controls).
- $14.12 million for HHS, with a significant portion ($12.6 million) dedicated to homeless and housing services. This includes funding for encampment strategies, multidisciplinary teams, outreach teams, services for 100 beds, Homekey match funds, and infrastructure for the Bridge House Pallet Shelter and Casa Omega.

- Supervisor Hart and Chair Nelson commented on the thoroughness of the staff presentation and the strategic planning involved in leveraging other funds and ensuring compliance to prevent future clawbacks.
- Chair Nelson asked about the potential to free up general fund dollars by using restricted ARPA funds for already-committed projects (such as HVAC improvements) during the 2022-2023 budget development. Staff confirmed this is a strategy being considered to increase board flexibility.
- Chair Nelson discussed the fiscal cliff and the need to stretch ARPA funds (which must be spent by 2026) to cover services in years 4 and 5. Staff noted that budgeting must occur by the end of 2024, with spending flexibility through 2026.
- Supervisor Williams asked about the $1.2 million capital cost for pallet shelters in Lompoc. Staff and Mr. Chapman (on Zoom) clarified that this is for permanent water and sanitation services at the Bridge House site, intended for long-term use (3–5+ years). Supervisor Williams suggested considering alternatives that do not require sewer infrastructure, such as pump-out trailers, to reduce capital costs.
- Supervisor Hart expressed support for the staff recommendations for Tranches 1 and 2A, noting the high percentage of funds directed toward homelessness. Supported the food bank and child care proposals as critical infrastructure.

- Supervisor Williams supported Tranches 1 and 2A, emphasizing the need for transformative, long-term results to avoid federal clawbacks. Supported the food bank proposal.

- Supervisor Lavinio supported the staff recommendations for Tranche 2A, highlighting the $7 million investment in Isla Vista and Bridge House as necessary capital investments to address homelessness. Supported the food bank and REACH economic development proposals.
- Supervisor Hartman supported Tranches 1 and 2A. Supported the food bank as an essential county function. Discussed the child care crisis, noting the financial strain on family-based centers due to pandemic restrictions. Suggested setting aside funds for a more specific proposal rather than immediate allocation. Raised the need for repairs to the Ivy Community Center, a county-owned facility in a qualified census tract.
- Chair Nelson expressed support for Tranche 1 and general concepts in Tranche 2A but raised concerns about the lack of sufficient shelter bed capacity (currently 100 beds) to support the proposed services, noting a need for approximately 350 additional beds. Supported setting aside $2 million for child care to allow for further deliberation and specific proposal development. Supported the food bank. Discussed the need to standardize and reduce per-bed service costs for shelters.
- Staff confirmed that the food bank and child care items are eligible for restricted funds. Clarified that the 350-bed figure is derived from the community action strategy and homeless count. Noted that Tranche 2A funds are for the next year’s budget and will not be spent immediately.

Departmental Item 2: Sheriff’s Office Co-Response Program
- Presentation: Chief Deputy Craig Bonner, Dr. Sharon Lindley (Behavioral Sciences Manager for the Sheriff’s Office), and John Winkler presented an overview of the county co-response program, a partnership between the Department of Behavioral Wellness and the Sheriff’s Office. The program pairs CIT-trained deputies with mobile crisis clinicians in unmarked vehicles to respond to mental health crisis calls, aiming to de-escalate situations and divert individuals from the criminal justice system when safe and appropriate.
- Program History and Structure:
- Pilot Phase: The program began as a pilot in 2018, initially operating one day every other week.
- Expansion: Following positive feedback and the securing of grant funding, the program expanded to three full-time co-response teams.
- Current Coverage: Two teams operate in South County (Carpinteria through the Gaviota Tunnel), and one team operates in North County (covering Santa Maria, Buellton, San Ynez, and Solvang).
- Funding Status: The teams are currently grant-funded, with funding expiring on September 30, 2022.
- Data and Outcomes (Calendar Year 2020):
- Call Volume: The Sheriff’s Office documented approximately 2,984 mental health crisis calls. Co-response teams handled 1,606 of these calls (54% of the total).
- Coverage Efficiency: When co-response teams are on duty, they handle approximately 73% of mental health crisis calls.
- Arrest Rates: Less than 1% of calls handled by co-response teams resulted in an arrest. Approximately 18% of the unique individuals encountered had an arrest in 2020, attributed to prior or non-co-response incidents.
- Response Time: Co-response encounters averaged 42 minutes, compared to 126 minutes for patrol-only responses.
- Resource Utilization: Co-response teams used an average of 1.6 units per call, compared to 2.6 units for patrol.
- Client Demographics: Of the 496 unique persons documented in clinician records, 57% were male, the average age was 38, and 56% did not have a permanent residence. 82% were triaged for mental health treatment, and 20% accepted substance abuse services.
- Service Types: Teams provided mental health services (including 5150 and 5585 holds), transportation, social services, substance abuse services, and housing assistance.
- 2021 Data Highlights:
- Between January and July 2021, co-response teams handled 61% of the 1,768 crisis calls.
- July 2021 recorded the highest number of documented mental health crisis calls (396) since data collection began.
- In the first half of 2021, there were an average of 39 suicidal callers per month.
- Co-response teams assisted with SWAT/hostage negotiations, CIT training, gun violence restraining orders, and evictions involving individuals with mental illness.
- Operational Details and Sustainability:
- Scheduling: Teams currently operate from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Data indicates a significant volume of calls occurs outside these hours (24% of calls occur when teams are not working).
- Expansion Needs: To achieve near-24/7 coverage (excluding 2 a.m. to 6 a.m.), the department estimates a need for eight total teams.
- Billing Constraints: Due to Medi-Cal billing constraints, most proactive and follow-up services are not reimbursable unless the client consents to treatment and meets medical necessity criteria. Only the initial crisis evaluation is typically billable.
- Interagency Cooperation: The Sheriff’s Office shares data and protocols with the Santa Barbara Police Department and Santa Maria Police Department. An MOU for co-response with Santa Maria PD is pending approval.
- Discussion:
- Supervisor Lavagnino inquired about CIT training levels (10% of the department is trained in the 40-hour course) and the interaction protocol between co-response and mobile crisis teams. Clarified that dispatch prioritizes co-response if available; otherwise, mobile crisis responds.
- Supervisor Hartmann asked for clarification on call volume during operational hours versus non-operational hours. Noted that while the midnight-to-6 a.m. window has lower volume, there is a need for additional coverage during business hours. Commented on the cost-avoidance potential of the program.
- Supervisor Williams inquired about the sustainability of the model regarding Medi-Cal reimbursement. Clarified that billing is limited to crisis evaluations without client consent for ongoing treatment.
- Chair Nelson asked about the allocation of teams (two South, one North) based on call volume data. Inquired about the approach to serving immigrant communities and cultural competency training. Discussed the potential for using discretionary funding streams to support the program given its cost-avoidance benefits.
- Supervisor Hart referenced the CEO's "Renew22" initiative regarding efficiency and partnership. He challenged the Sheriff’s Department and Behavioral Wellness Department to use cost savings from the program to expand services and add more capacity, aiming to achieve this before the next year’s budget.
- Chairman Nelson asked Chief Bonner about the timeline for training the remaining 90% of deputies in the 40-hour CIT curriculum to ensure all teams are CIT-trained.
- Chief Bonner explained that while the department aims to train as many personnel as possible, a structural staffing deficit in patrol ranks requires continuous overtime to maintain minimum safe staffing levels. He stated that removing personnel for training requires backfilling with unbudgeted overtime, creating a fiscal challenge. He noted that current training efforts focus on personnel most likely to utilize the skills effectively, prioritized with input from Dr. Lee.
- Supervisor Williams asked about the logic for interlocking teams with city personnel to achieve more complete coverage through staggered shifts and mutual aid.
- Dr. Lee confirmed that the intention is to provide mutual aid, with city and county teams calling each other’s dispatch when available. He noted that while this is the goal, current resource constraints and the mental health crisis limit the frequency of this collaboration.
- Supervisor Hartmann commented on the importance of building trust and deeper connections between the public and law enforcement, referencing previous comments about trust built through the program.
- Public Comment: Five members of the public registered to speak.
- George Kaufman (NAMI): Expressed support for the program, citing its success in de-escalation, reduction of arrests, and increased community trust in law enforcement. Stated that families now feel comfortable calling 911 for mental health crises.
- Tom Franklin: Shared a personal experience with a family member’s mental health crisis. Noted that CIT-trained deputies handled a recent incident peacefully without jail involvement, contrasting with previous experiences. Expressed support for funding the program.
- Leonard Marcus: Spoke in support of the CIT (Crisis Intervention Team) program, citing personal experience with his son’s mental health crises. He stated that requesting a CIT-trained team resulted in the situation being diffused without arrest or escalation. He advocated for the program to be available 24/7.
- Lynn Gibbs: Spoke in support of the co-response program, citing her daughter’s experience. She described how the co-response team diverted her daughter from arrest during a crisis, leading to hospitalization and subsequent intensive case management services. She stated that this continuum of care has kept her daughter out of the hospital for most of the past decade and urged the board to support a sustainable and expanded program.
- Motion: Supervisor Hartmann moved for recommended actions A and B.
- Action: Moved and seconded.
- Outcome: The transcript cuts off immediately after the roll call begins, before the final vote count or decision is recorded.
