Reconvened;. 7:35 p.m. 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, 74-555 AUTHORIZE CHAIRMAN TO EXEC~TTE AM~;NDMENT TO AMBULANCE AGREEMENT 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 discussed the possibility of having a male nurse at the jail, which is being done in other areas. ,Jerome Warren, Public Defender, discussed the problems he has defending people that are sometimes "spaced out" on pills. Chief Wes Barrett discussed the matter of calling an ambulance in relation to 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. 419 April 9, 1974 April 9, 1974 Supervisor Gilman thought that staff should look around and come back to the Board with considerationso Dan Blackstock reported that he had conferred with Lorrin Ward and had .told him the 10 percent figure was not acceptable. After discussion, Mr. Ward was willing to accept 8 percent for new construction and 10 percent remodeling. On motion of gupervisor McKillop, seconded by Supervisor Cameron and unanimously caxried, the Board approved the agreement as submitted with Lorrin_Ward for the architectuxal woxk for the extension of ,juvenile Hall, a rate compensation set at 8.5 percent of total construction cost.
