Meeting Notes of Appointments:
• Ira Good – Mr. Good met with the Commissioners to discuss renewal of his temporary cleaning contract. The temporary contract expires at the end of this month. The Commissioners agreed to renew Ira Good’s cleaning contract for one year later this month.
• Keith Turvey – Tri County Mental Health – Mr. Turvey informed the Commissioners that the Governor’s office and the attorney general got together this week to recognize first responders in this area due to their efforts to prevent drug abuse and treat those struggling with substance-use disorder. The Attorney General recognized first responders in Paulding County. Mr. Turvey expressed from the Tri-County ADAMHS Board their appreciation for all individuals, families and professionals on the front lines of this fight in our community and throughout the state.
• Corey Walker, Director/DPJFS & Pete Prichard, NW State Community College- Mr. Walker and Mr. Prichard discussed the CCMPP project within 6 counties, including Williams, Henry, Auglaize, Wood, Defiance and Paulding helping to identify what we want to do to help kids, between ages 14-24 to find jobs and help with wages, if we need to. There is also an adult program. The program has been in place for over a year now and we currently have 19 kids. Mr. Walker commented that we are partnering with NW State to work with businesses, courts and schools. Mr. Prichard’s contribution would be to work with JFS to get students lined up and get matches to specific technical skill sets to get the kids into a specific job and set up some mentoring partnership programs. Mr. Prichard commented that NW State’s position is to develop a culture of “we can do this together”. Mr. Walker clarified that we have 19 successes right now. We work with the schools, both juvenile courts to work with the kids and do a follow up at 18 months, keeping them up until they graduate to make sure employment is successful. Mr. Walker mentioned the local schools have a lot of involvement in this program. We will evaluate the success on moving kids forward. This project is getting a lot of recognition from the state.
