space for it, but doesn't know if there will be a problem hooking it up or not.

74-554 JOINT MEETING WITH 3UVENTLE JUSTICE COMMISSION AND MENTAL HEALTH ADVISORY
BOARD
Chairman Madigan stated that meetings of this type were held as a result of a
recommendation from the Grand Jury.
Bill Dolan, Chairman of the Juvenile Justice Commission, introduced the members
of the Commission that were present and explained the responsbilities of the
Commission. He explained that the state legislature provided that each county
should have a commission. The commission acts as a liaison between Juvenile
Hall and the Board of Supervisors. They axe required to inquire into the
administration of juvenile justice in the county and to make annual inspections
of the facilities, on which they are required to make reports. He stated they
welcomed the meeting to have resolved the matter of facilities for evaluation
and treatment of mentally disturbed juveniles.
Dr. Stewart Bedford explained the Mental Health Advisory Board. The people
are appointed by the Board of Supervisors. He listed the various vocations
of people they are required to have on the board. Their duties are to review
and evaluate the communities' mental health needs, advise and report to the ~3oard
of Supervisors, submit an annuaJ~ report, and to make recommendations of the
mental health director. Dr. Bedford read portions of a letter he had sent to
Frank Lanterman in Sacramento. Dr. Bedford feels mental health people can be
put to better use in programs instead of criminal cases.
Dr. Gerald Maguire explained that his staff has taken the position in all areas
of mental health that disordered means those persons suffering those conditions
resulting from thinking discrepancies and medical discrepancies. He explained
the differences between voluntary care and involuntary care, also in. relation
to people in custody and people not in custody.
Dan Blackstock gave the background of the Lanterman-Petxis-Short Mental Health
Act and also discussed the 72-hour hold, which some people mistake fox a 72-hour
arrest. He explained that if authorities decide a juvenile needs psychiatric
help, he will be admitted to Chico Community Hospital. He discussed the procedure
for caring for patients under section 411.6 of the Penal Code and the connection
with the District Attorney's office. The jailer is supposed to notify the
District Attorney before any action is taken in regard to mental evaluations,
unless it is an emergency situation. He felt that the court should be advised
of this action of a 72-hour hold the same way as if it was someone in custody.
Mr. Blackstock also discussed a 14-day certification.
Dr. Tom Enloe stated that he feels the main problem is that justice people feel
they axe not getting the medical support and the medical people feel they are not
getting the justice support.
4ll April 9, 1974
April 9, 1974
Chairman Madigan recognized several people in the audience.
Don Nissen discussed procedures and principles for the provision of treatment to
mentally disordered juveniles detained in the Juvenile Hall. He read a memo he
sent to Clif Mickelson on March 6, 1974. This memo described various forms
of behavior that suggested mental illness in Mr. Nissen's experience. He stated
that they have had excellent cooperation with Mental Health Services. There was
a problem of confidentiality but this has been resolved.
There was a discussion about how many juveniles had been referred to Mental Health.
This was probably between 12 and i5 juveniles in a yearn There was a discussion
of qualification of section 5150. Dan Blackstock explained that there was an
agreement that if a juvenile is brought in and needs care, he will be admitted
to the hospital.
Dr. Lorack discussed what level of dentention is clinically appropriate and legally
permitted in the provision of involuntary mental health treatment. He discussed
the mechanics of the evaluation and admittance procedure.
There was a discussion about evaluations being made over the phone, which they
occasionally are. There was also a dicussion about transporting juveniles over
to Chico in an ambulance.
Bill Scott, Oroville Ambulance, explained the contract with the company. He felt
the present situation is inadequate. As it is now, a law officer must call to
Chico to Mental Health Services and they in turn call the ambulance service.
This causes quite a delay at times. He felt that the law afficer should be able
to call the ambulance directly. He also explained the manner of transportation
for different cases.
Don Nissen questioned the placing of mentally ill children in the Crisis Inter-
vention Home in Oroville with uncontrollable children. There was some discussion
as to whether this was proper. As yet, this has not happened. if it did, it would
probably happen only once or twice a year.
Dr. Maguire explained the staffing requirements for mental health facilities.
He also discussed the method of dealing with children and the authorization
needed to treat these children. Parents must give their consent or Mental Health
must get a court order authorizing treatment.
Discussion of 5150 and its application. There was some confusion on who could be
admitted to Chico Community Hospital for treatment. Dr. Maguire cleared this up:
1. An adult goes into a ward because he has a great medical problem in addition to
his mental problem. 2. Someone under 18 who must be held involuntarily until
they can get the proper authorization, they will also be put into the hospital
until this authorization is granted and then they will be moved into the King's
Inn.
Will Mattley discussed providing treatment to mentally disordered adults in the
jail. He stated that the District Attorney's office would like to know when
someone is going to be evaluated as it might have a great deal to do with their
case. He discussed evaluations in regard to the recently apprehended person.
Their office wants to be notified of evaluations before they are done but this would
not hold true in an emergency situation.
Larry Gillick, Sheriff, felt the District Attorneys request to be notified was
fair. He felt they should do whatever they could to help each other. Super-
visor Gilman questioned about transportation of patients. Gillick stated that
when jailed people are transported, they are never out of the custbdy of a deputy.
418 April 9, 1974
April 9, 1974
Discussion of changes that could be made in the ambulance agreement. There was
also a discussion of the charges for the ambulance, which is about $75 for a
trip to Chico,

On motion of Supervisor Cameron, seconded by Supervisor McKillop and unanimously
carried, the Chairman was authorized to execute an amendment to the ambulance
agreement that deletes the requirement for prior authorization of Mental Health
Department as it relates to the Sheriff's Office, ,juvenile Hall and peace
officers prior to chargingtbe County for the services.
74-556 CONTINUATION OF MEETING
Dr. Maguire explained the provisions for locked doors on health facilities. In
order to have locked doors, you must have a defined pyschiatric service in that
unit. There is nothing like this in Butte County.
Sheriff Gillick presented his views that the jail is a "pill factory." It takes
the jailer approximately two hours to prepare the medication for the inmates.
He feels that the doctor should come to the jail more than once a week. Also

done in other areas.
,Jerome Warren, Public Defender, discussed the problems he has defending people
that are sometimes "spaced out" on pills.

the city police. He explained some of the problems they have had in this area.
At times, both officers on night duty have had to take mentally disturbed people
over to Chico to the facilities, leaving Oroville without on-duty officers.
Discussion regarding 9010 funding. He also discussed problems in time delays
regarding Mental Health.
Clif Nickelson stated that bills incurred by the city police in transporting these
patients would probably be paid by the county as are some others.
Jim Griffith discussed the legal restrictions with regard to the provision of
information to law enforcement officials about patients evaluated or treated
within the Lanterman-Petris-Short Mental Health System. He reviewed the problem
that has been solved between Probation and Mental Health.
Clif Nickelson, County Administrator, stated that recently there had been a
tendency to discuss problems through the newspapers. To solve this, when a
problem arises, the staff or department heads should immediately confer. If this
doesn't solve the problem, a conference should be held with the Administrative
Officer immediately, If that does not work, the department heads should go to the
advisory boards and..discuss the problem with them. If no solution is forthcoming,
then those board should schedule a conference at the top policy-making level to
make those decisions.
74-557 APPROVE CbNTRACT WITH LORRIN WAS FOIL ,TIL~~NI~E HALL
Don Nissen discussed the problems he has placing juveniles in places other than
Juvenile Ha11. He does not know of any building in the county except the jail
where he could house the juveniles, and he would not like to put them in the jail.
He discussed an agreement he had about placing juveniles in Shasta County facilities,
but this is on an availability basis, with Shasta County filling their own needs
first.

caxried, the Board approved the agreement as submitted with Lorrin_Ward for the
