RESOLUTION 83-38 - SUPPORTING PROPOSED LEGISLATION RE MENTAL <br />HEALTH DISTRICT BOARD NO. 9 <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, to adopt <br />Resolution 83-38 supporting Senate Bill <br />141 and House Bill 351 re Mental Health <br />District Board No. 9. <br />Commissioner Wodtke reported that Representative <br />Beverly Burnsed has introduced an amendment to Senate Bill <br />141 which would completely abolish Mental Health District <br />Boards. It basically has attached to it a mandatory <br />continued funding by counties through to 1985, but after <br />1985 it takes the word mandatory out and inserts the word <br />voluntary. Commissioner Wodtke believed this will cause <br />some controversy, and noted that indications he has received <br />are very favorable that the amendment and Bill will pass at <br />the House level and about a 50/50 chance with the Senate. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION to <br />adopt Resolution 83-38. It was voted on <br />and carried unanimously. <br />It <br />MAY 18 1983 76 <br />eeox 53 Put 555 <br />
