He notes that this grant is a non-competitive grant and has been awarded to the Parole and Probation division, formally Community Corrections, since the initial application in the 2019-2020 fiscal year. For the past five years,the IMAPCTS grant has allowed the Parole and Probation division to embed a QMHA behavioral specialist whose role as a mental health services coordinator works with higher needs justice involved individuals providing chronic case management and care coordination for some of the high utilizers of emergency services and emergency departments, which has added value to the clients, the Parole & Probation division, and Clackamas County. 

   The next order of business is to review the IMPACTS ’25 -‘27 Grant application. Captain Chandler indicated he will be asking this governing body council for approval to submit the grant application.  He provided an overview of the 2025-2027 IMPACTS grant application commenting that this is the next iteration of the Criminal Justice Commission (CJC) IMPACTS grant and going forward, this will be a competitive grant. The total funding is 1.67 million and is open to all counties and/or tribal governments in Oregon. This application contains three separate components; an administrative section that includes letters of support from health system providers and tribal representatives, dialog correspondences with the CJC regarding the Grant Program Operating Profile (GPOP), and the budget projection information. Captain Chandler reviewed the three separate components in the IMPACTS ’25 -‘27 application, which are included in today’s meeting packet. Chair Brandenburg asked for a motion to approve the grant as written, with spelling edits noted in today’s discussion, and approval to submit the 2025-2027 IMPACTS grant application to the Criminal Justice Commission. Charles Gallia motioned to approve the 2025-2027 grant application as written, with edits noted, and submit for CJC consideration. Judge Thanh Tran seconded the motion. Chair Brandenburg asked for a formal vote. The motion passed with seven (7) yes votes, zero (0) no votes, and two (2) abstain votes. The application will be submitted to the CJC.
