<br />Chairman
<br />9B Alcohol, Drug Abuse &
<br />Mental Health Planning Council
<br />Indian River County Commissioner
<br />Commissioner Eggert noted that this is money that just
<br />popped up out of nowhere from the state if the four counties will
<br />agree to each match their share of $94,333. Our 26% share would
<br />be $24,526. This includes beds, a half -way house, and follow up
<br />treatment. If the counties express interest in matching these
<br />funds, then a provider will be chosen to do the program.
