Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final January 10, 2017 5.B 17-0003 Recommended Action: Retired Colonel Marty Zickert, USAF, provided information on the Vero Beach Air Show for 2018. Colonel Zickert reported that The Blue Angels will be appearing, with the tentative dates set for April 21, 2018 and April 22, 2018. He also spoke about two upcoming fundraisers being held at the Indian River County Shooting Range; one to benefit the Veteran's Council, and one to benefit the Blue Angels. Commissioner Zorc asked for a video link for the 2018 Vero Beach Air Show to be placed on the County website, and Vice Chairman O'Bryan made the request to Mr. Zickert to communicate to the Blue Angels that, from his perspective, the Board wanted The Blue Angels to fly low, fast, and loud, so that when the residents heard them, they would recognize the sound of freedom flying overhead. Presentation by Ann Berner, Chief Executive Officer, and Becky Walker, Director of Network Management, Southeast Florida Behavioral Health Network on the Requirements of Senate Bill 12 for a county Transportation Plan and Designated Receiving System, and a Report on the Criminal Justice Mental Health Reinvestment Act Grant awarded for the Mental Health Court in Indian River County. Presentation only no action required. Becky Walker, Director of Network Management, Southeast Florida Behavioral Health Network, provided background on the Requirements of Senate Bill 12, relating to mental health and substance abuse, for a County Transportation Plan and Designated Receiving System. She stated that Senate Bill 12 would require the County to collaborate with other managing entities to develop a plan that would provide transportation for patients who have been involuntarily committed, and designate the proper receiving facilities to be used for care. She explained that an approval must be made by the County, Southeast Florida Behavioral Health Network, and the Department of Children and Families; and that the Plan must be implemented by July 1, 2017. County Attorney Dylan Reingold noted that he would continue working to ensure that a Plan came before the Council and the Board before July 1, 2017. A short discussion ensued regarding any allocated funding from the Legislature for the Bill, the transportation entities involved in the Baker Act process, and an estimate of how many people would be affected by Senate Bill 12 annually. Ms. Walker also updated the Board on the Report on the Criminal Justice Mental Health Reinvestment Act Grant that has been awarded to the Mental Health Court in Indian River County.
