CAPTAIN ARTHUR. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE WORK THAT YOU DO SHOUT OUT TO ALL THE ORNIONS THAT ARE GETTING THESE FUNDS NOW AND THE ONES THAT WILL EVENTUALLY GET FUNDS.

CURIOUS IF YOU CAN GIVE US AN UPDATE ABOUT THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE THAT'S BEING FORMED AS WELL AS THE APPLICATION FOR THE REMAINING FUNDS BEING OPEN LATER THIS FALL. SO THERE IS A REMAINING 5.3 MILLION THAT WILL BE OPEN THIS FALL, SO THE MAYOR'S OFFICE IS CREATING THAT OPIOID SETTLEMENT DISTRIBUTION ADVISORY BOARD AND, UM VERY SOON THERE WILL BE A PUBLIC APPLICATION PROCESS AND WE'LL SHARE THAT WITH ALL THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT WE'RE AWARE OF, AND ANY RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ARE SENT TO US, AND THAT BOARD WILL EVALUATE HOW TO BEST.

UM YOUTH PREVENTION. HUGE FOCUSES ON RACIAL EQUITY AND DEVELOPING THOSE TRANSPARENT STRATEGIES. THE ONLY COMMENT I HAVE TO ADHERE WE'RE DOING MARRIAGE DOING GREAT WORK, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT AND MAKE SURE THE COMMUNITY IS REPRESENTED. IN THIS ADVISORY BOARD AS WELL AS HAVE PEOPLE WHO HAVE LIVING EXPERIENCE WHO COULD CONTRIBUTE TO US SELECTING PROPER COMMUNITY PARTNERS. CHAIR JUST ONE MORE QUICK QUESTION. HOW SOON WILL THE FUNDS BE DISPERSED TO THE ORGANIZATIONS IN THIS FIRST ROUND AFTER WE PASS IT NEXT WEEK? UM TRYING TO REMEMBER THE PROCESS, SO IT'S THEY'RE DISPERSED ON A QUARTERLY BASIS OF A QUARTER. UM IN THE BEGINNING AND THEN BASED ON I'M SPENDING AND WE DO. WE DO HAVE A PROGRAM EVALUATOR SO BASED ON THE DELIVERABLES THAT THEY SET FORTH, AND THAT'S ON PAGE TWO ON HOW THAT WILL BE DISTRIBUTED, AND THOSE LIFE SAVING EFFORTS AND SO OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR. LOOK AT ANDY, IS THAT CORRECT? SO DO WE HAVE ANY CLARITY ON THE TURNAROUND? I'M JUST CURIOUS. I KNOW WE'LL VOTE ON IT TODAY. HOPEFULLY WE'LL VOTE ON IT NEXT WEEK. AND THEN HOW SOON ORGANIZATIONS GET PAID AND JUST TO BE CLEAR THEIR ORGANIZATIONS IN THIS FIRST ROUND TWO ARE CONCERNED ABOUT STOPPING SERVICES BECAUSE THEY'RE RUNNING OUT OF FUNDS, SO I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO GIVE THEM A CLEAR ANSWER ABOUT WHEN THEY CAN EXPECT THE DISPERSAL OF THE FIRST DISPERSEMENT WOULD BE ONE QUARTER. AND, UM IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT WE ALREADY HAVE. WE HAVE AS SOON AS THIS VOTE. WITH THE FULL COUNCIL HAS PASSED. THAT INFORMATION IS ENTERED INTO WORKDAY AND WE CAN ISSUE BASICALLY BECAUSE WE HAVE THE AGREEMENTS, SO WE JUST HAVE TO ISSUE THOSE BASED ON THAT SO HOPEFULLY WITH ESTIMATE ON IT'S . IF YOU DON'T. THAT'S FINE.

I'LL JUST SAY WE PASSED IT. WE DID OUR PART CALLED THE MAYOR. I WOULD SAY AS LONG AS WE HAVE

[01:20:03]

FOR OKAY, SO IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE DOING A DISBURSEMENT BASIS, WHICH MEANS THEY WILL JUST GET FOUR EQUAL DISBURSEMENTS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WANT TO ENCOURAGE THAT AS OUR PRACTICE GOING FORWARD? THANK YOU. COUNCILOR MCRANEY. YES THANK YOU. MR CHAIRMAN. I DIDN'T SEE THE LIST THAT YOU SAID EVERY DISTRICT HAS BEEN AFFECTED IS THAT LIST UM THERE'S A MAP. MAYBE THE PRE WORK DIDN'T MAKE IT. YOU KNOW, WE CAN MAKE COPIES OF THIS ONE SHOW THAT IMMEDIATELY. OKAY IS THERE? YEAH I WOULD LIKE THAT INFORMATION. DID SOMEONE SEND IT OUT TO US PRIOR TO THIS MEETING, BECAUSE IT'S NOT IN OUR SYSTEM. CAN WE GET SOME PIECE OF THOSE? ABSOLUTELY. OKAY SO MY QUESTION WOULD BE SPECIFICALLY WOULD YOU IF I SAID I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE AFFECTED IN DISTRICT SEVEN? WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO GIVE ME THAT NUMBER? NOT AT THIS MOMENT. UM THE MAP THAT WE HAVE. THE GRAPHIC IS HIGHLIGHTED, AND IT RANGES ANYWHERE FROM 1 TO 10 DEATHS TO 37 TO 49 IN DISTRICT SEVEN, IT SAYS, AND. I WANT TO SAY NO. I MEAN, YOU COULD JUST TELL ME FROM DISTRICT SEVEN FROM YOUR MAP THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT. IT'S DIVIDED INTO ZIP CODE. SO 07 LET'S START THERE. WE THINK IT WILL BE. SO THAT IS BETWEEN 24 AND 49 DEATHS. OKAY, SO CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT YOU MEAN BETWEEN? I MEAN YOU DON'T HAVE SPECIFIC NUMBERS ON HOW MANY DEATHS YOU SAID THAT THERE WERE DEATHS AND SPECIFIC. ON THE MAP. I'M JUST CURIOUS AS TO MY DISTRICT HOW MANY DEATHS YOU HAVE RECORDED THAT HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS OPIOID. I DON'T HAVE EPIDEMIC IN FRONT OF ME. BUT WE WILL ABSOLUTELY PROVIDE THAT TO YOU. YES. THANK YOU SO MUCH BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS AND ONE OF MY COMMUNITY MEETINGS. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? UM I

[01:25:04]

UM. AS A COMMENT MOVING FORWARD AND AS YOU GUYS LOOK AT THE ADDITIONAL 55, PLUS MILLION, UM IT. I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT AT SOME POINT WE'RE STARTING TO FOCUS NOT JUST ON ON REDUCTION OF FATALITIES, BUT MOVING FOLKS OFF OF THESE HIGHLY ADDICTIVE DRUGS, RIGHT? UM, ABSOLUTELY LUTELY. I KNOW THE YOU KNOW THE TALK WHEN YOU WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT HEROIN AND COCAINE.

AND EVEN, UM, YOU KNOW, CRYSTAL, MATT. ALCOHOL. THE IDEA WAS THAT FOLKS WOULD EVENTUALLY HIT ROCK BOTTOM, THEY WOULD GET TO THE POINT THEY WOULD REALIZE THAT HEY, YOU KNOW, I CAN'T KEEP DOING THIS AND THEN HOPEFULLY RECOVER WOULD BE RECOVERY WOULD BEGIN AS I'M LEARNING ABOUT THE FENTANYL CRISIS. THERE'S NOT A ROCK BOTTOM. PEOPLE JUST DIE. THEY DON'T WE DON'T GET TO THAT PLACE AND SO THE OLD MODELS OF WORKING WITH PEOPLE WHEN THEY WERE READY. DON'T WORK WITH FENTANYL. AND SO MY HOPE IS, WE'RE NOT USING THE OLD MODELS WITH THIS NEW CRISIS THAT INSTEAD WE'RE STARTING TO REALIZE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO SOMETHING TO INTERVENE.

BEFORE THE ADDICT GETS TO A POINT THAT THEY DECIDE THEY WANT TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT, SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE IN THE MEDICAL FIELD AND DO THESE THINGS, UM, WITH $55 MILLION LEFT FOR FUTURE PHASES. MY HOPE IS THAT WHEN YOU COME BACK AND TALK TO US AGAIN, THERE WILL BE A GOOD BIT OF CONVERSATION AROUND. WHAT ARE THE STRATEGIES? TO START REACHING OUT TO FOLKS TO SAY. LOOK, WE'VE GOT TO GET YOU OFF THIS STUFF. RATHER IT BE ALCOHOL ADDICTION OR CRYSTAL METH OR COCAINE OR WORSE, FENTANYL. ABSOLUTELY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR. CATALONIA THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN. KREIMER. UM SO WHEN I SEE THE AGENCY'S YOU'VE GOT HERE, AND I SEE HARM REDUCTION UNDER TWO OF THE INSTANCES ON HERE, UM I HEAR THAT A LOT IN THE HOMELESS COMMUNITY. THANK YOU. UM. ARE YOU DO YOU KNOW? ARE THESE AGENCIES GOING TO BE WORKING WITH THE HOMELESS? I MEAN, THERE'S THE HOMELESS COALITION RCS. WHAT AND IN WHAT CAPACITY, SO THE FIRST RECIPIENT LISTED AS FEED LOUISVILLE. SO THIS SPECIFICALLY HAVE A PRIORITY OF OUTREACH AND HOMELESS ENCAMPMENTS, SO PROVIDING COMPREHENSIVE LIFESAVING SERVICES AND LINKAGE TO COMMUNITY SERVICES. SO OKAY, YES. AS WE LOOK AT THE HARM THE KENTUCKY HARM REDUCTION COALITION. UM THEY'RE LOOKING AT HIRING MULTI LINGUAL OUTREACH STAFF EXPANDING IN THE COMMUNITIES OF COLOR AND PARTNERSHIP WITH COMMUNITY, OTHER COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS AND SERVING PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN UNDERSERVED, TRADITIONALLY RACIALLY AND ETHNIC MINORITY GROUPS AND AGAIN , UM LIFESAVING THAT THIS IS AGAIN THAT THAT'S YOU KNOW, PEOPLE HAVE TO BE ALIVE FOR US TO GET THEM INTO TREATMENT AND TO HELP THEM FURTHER. AND SO IS THERE A GEOGRAPHICALLY UNDER FEED LOCAL IS THAT GOING TO BE ACROSS THE CITY, OR IS IT GOING TO BE, UM MOSTLY? UM I HEARD YOU MENTION THE WEST AND THE SOUTH. YES SO IF YOU LOOPHOLE IN THERE WORKING WITH HOMELESS ENCAMPMENTS, SO THEY ABSOLUTELY ACROSS METRO WHEN WE LOOK AT THE KENTUCKY HARM REDUCTION, THEY'RE LOOKING AT A BLACK COMMUNITIES THROUGH THE WEST AND THEN LATIN X THROUGH OTHER US NON U. S BORN COMMUNITIES. DUE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST. WE LOOK AT THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY TARGET FORWARD. THEY'RE CREATING A WESTERN HUB. WE DO CURRENTLY HAVE MOBILE. SERVICES THAT ARE PROVIDED AT. FOR INSTANCE, PORTLAND'S FAMILY HEALTH CENTERS IN THAT PARKING LOT. WE HAVE ANOTHER THAT WE MULTIPLE LOCATIONS, THE TWO THAT COME IMMEDIATELY. MINE IS THAT CANE RUN ROAD WHICH IS FORMALLY LINKED DREAMLAND NOW PRP FIRE DEPARTMENT. SO WE HAVE A TRAILER AND WE WILL GO WHERE PEOPLE ARE OKAY. SO TO THAT POINT OUT IN VALLEY STATION THE VOICE OF TRUTH CHURCH ON FAMILY STATION ROAD IS, UM YOU KNOW, ARE MOBILE VAN THEN GOES AND GET HELPS TO GET DOCUMENTATION FOR HOMELESSNESS. THEY HAVE LOST THEIR I D THEIR CERTIFICATE, BUT YOU KNOW, WE'RE WORKING TO THAT I THINK THAT THAT WOULD BE A GREAT PLACE FOR YOU AS WELL AND

[01:30:05]

UM YOU KNOW, IT'S ALWAYS I'LL GO AND WE DO CONTINUE TO LINK PEOPLE WE'VE LINKED OVER 1100 PEOPLE TO RESIDENTIAL AND OUTPATIENT TREATMENT REFER AND THEN ALSO JUST OTHER COMMUNITY REFERRALS. WHETHER THAT'S FOOD SHELTER AGAIN WOULD CARE, NURSING EVALUATION MEDICAL CARE.

SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE PROVIDE. WILL THERE BE A PROVISION WHERE YOU WOULD PROVIDE US WITH SUCCESS STORIES OR SOME TYPE OF REPORTING ON WHAT YOU'VE DONE, HOW IT HAS BEEN RECEIVED. WHAT THE OUTCOME OF THIS FUNDING IS GOING TOWARDS THE PROGRAM EVALUATOR. SO EACH, ANYONE THAT'S PROVIDING AN RPR PROPOSAL. THEY HAVE TO LIST DELIVERABLES AND WE WILL BE FOLLOWING UP WITH HIM TO MAKING SURE THAT THAT THEY ACHIEVE THOSE AND HOW THEY CAN ACHIEVE THOSE, AND WE WILL BE ABLE TO REPORT ON THAT. HOW OFTEN WOULD WE BE ABLE TO GET THE REPORT? WE HAVEN'T DETERMINED HOW OFTEN. WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE THAT? HOW OFTEN DO I DON'T KNOW. I MEAN, HOW COULD YOU EVALUATED? DISBURSEMENTS ARE MADE QUARTERLY . OKAY COULD BE REPORTS. YOU KNOW? SURE. REBECCA HOLLENBACH WITH PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELLNESS , UM JUST TO SAY, UH WE WILL DEVELOP AN EVALUATION PLAN WITH HER EVALUATOR. UM SO WHAT I WILL TAKE AWAY FROM THIS CONVERSATION IS YOU HAVE A HIGH LEVEL OF INTEREST IN SEEING THE DATA ON A REGULAR BASIS, JUST GENERALLY TO TALK ABOUT THE VALUATION. THEY'RE OFTEN TIMES PROCESS OUTCOMES, WHICH ARE LOGISTICAL THINGS THAT YOU DO AS OPERATIONS. HOW MANY SERVICES DID YOU PROVIDE? HOW MANY PEOPLE DID YOU REACH? THOSE ARE VERY EASY TO COUNT ON A REGULAR BASIS . AND THEN YOU OFTENTIMES HAVE MORE LONG TERM PROGRAM OUTCOMES , WHICH MAY BE OTHER THINGS THAT ARE LINKED TO SAY, POPULATION HEALTH. OR BEHAVIORAL CHANGES THOSE OFTENTIMES WE DON'T REPORT ON AS REGULARLY BECAUSE THEY TAKE A LITTLE BIT LONGER TO SEE THE IMPACT SO ALL THAT, JUST TO SAY THAT LIKELY THE EVALUATION PLAN WOULD INCLUDE BOTH, UM AND WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT WE KEEP IN MIND THE INTEREST THAT YOU ALL HAVE IN SEEING THOSE OUTCOMES. THANK YOU, A FORMER BANKER, SO I DON'T APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT, ALONG WITH PROCESSES AND ALSO VERY INTERESTED IN THE DOLLARS THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THE PROCESS ALONG THE WAY, SO I WANT NOT ONLY WHAT YOU DID, BUT I WANT.

HOW MUCH DID THAT PARTICULAR ITEM OR PROCESS OR TRAINING COSTS? AND YOU KNOW WHAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE IS, AS YOU KNOW, WANT TO WATCH THE FOLLOW OF THE DOLLARS? COUNCILWOMAN JUSTINE GOVERNMENT TO ADHERE THERE WERE 11,000. SOME REPORTED. REVERSALS OVER THOSE REVERSALS. SO IF YOU JUST DO SIMPLE MATH, LET'S SAY ONLY 10% OF THEM HAVE THEN FATAL. THAT'S 110. LIVES THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT YOUNG PEOPLE HERE. AND THE COST. IT'S JUST BARE MINIMUM. NOR CAN IS. VERY CHEAP. SO ALL THESE PROGRAMS THAT FEED LOCAL PROGRAM IS NOT ONLY OFFERING NOR CAN ACTUALLY TEACHING PEOPLE HOW TO LIVE, HEALTHY LINE. AND WHEN THEY'RE READY, EVEN THOUGH THEY DON'T HAVE ROCK BOTTOM BECAUSE THERE'S NEWER AND NEWER MEDICINES IN EUROPE, UM, OPIATES COMING OUT.

THERE ARE LACED WITH TRANQUILIZERS, BUT WHAT WE DO IS WE PROVIDE THEM THE HOPE AND DIGNITY AND THEN WHEN THEY'RE READY, WE ENROLLED THEM AND WE ENROLLED THEM WITH COMMUNITY

[01:35:02]

COUNCIL IN ARTHUR. THANK YOU. I JUST WANTED TO RESPOND ABOUT THE GEOGRAPHY OF THE SERVICES BECAUSE THE LEGISLATION DOESN'T REALLY DO IT SERVICE. I'VE SAID THE WEBSITE FOR THE KENTUCKY HARM REDUCTION COALITION TO THE CLERK'S OFFICE JUST TO ENTER INTO THE RECORD, BUT ACCORDING TO THEIR SERVICES AND THEIR REPORTS ON THEIR WEBSITE THEY PRIMARILY SERVED LOUISVILLE BUT THEY DO SERVE 77 OUT OF THE 120 COUNTIES IN KENTUCKY, AND THEY SERVED 52 OF OUR ZIP CODE SO ACROSS THIS CITY AND PROVIDE A LONG LIST OF HARM REDUCTION SERVICES, SO IT'S NOT JUST CENTERED TO A SPECIFIC TYPE OF PERSON. BASED ON YOUR SKIN COLOR OR WHITE, WHETHER OR NOT YOU'VE BEEN MARGINALIZED OR WHERE YOU LIVE. THEY ARE TRYING TO TOUCH EVERY SINGLE PART OF THIS CITY.
