right so that's the purpose of tonight is to just go with the warrant committee and i believe members of the school committee are also in attendance but you're not you know calling health care bill goes through that's going to whack health insurance for massachusetts that the number could go away and also it's a one time figure and we're talking about putting people on the payroll that's not a one time thing right two hundred new growth as it is an ongoing thing the one seven were all parking that three hundred thousand dollars that was known we were that we know that there's a there's a progression from the governor's budget to the to the senate budget that that state aid usually goes up just parrot that a cli just sort of footnote that all of the boost in the state aid came through chapter seventy which is which is which for schools and i know it gets put into a general fund funds fund notion but it but it wasn't the state saying that we think town should spend more on all the town side of  that that that that the house wants to support schools in a larger way than the governor did but i'm but the point is it is that we knew this money was going to be become more certain and we always talked about using it to with to to to cut back on the draw from the general jones stabilization or or free you know free cash there was no mention of no mention of december or february that that when this when th money came into sharper focus that it would be used to bring on we're going to we're going for a new staff and so i mean that's i mean that's the issue that i that i have that i'm that we that we've known this is here and it was always additional need or social worker for our size and when i asked them to do was to produce a report that would give us data on how with how our resources compared to other be five hundred twenty dollars more but more importantly the assumption for all three positions that are getting benefits is that it's going to be in the in the in the individual level and it could very well be that we hire three people who want the family plan and the cost is going to go up to seven hundred thousand dollars that's over so i mean so it's really look at that that ten troll x x is of this memo we're talking about thirty three thousand dollars more than than what his were the same so i would want to make sure that we take that into consideration i think that i think that's a good point from from my perspective but i'd like to come up with that ok and that level of  n you know of three of us adam mark and myself promised a more open and transparent government so we're we're trying to do that we went through the budget process with david we got these comments mark asked people what it was they were thinking about and so we're considering them i spent time and went on monthly meeting of the office of council and aging i asked them for data we have data which we didn't get until today so to your point you know there's been no analysis because you can't analyze something that's not here but i'm looking quickly at this and i see that belmont senior population is five thousand and we have one thousand one f t e and if you go through the rest of the list it looks like based on the senior population that are f t is pretty much in line with with all of the other towns so i would agree with mark in the comes as a a little bit of a surprise because on the one hand we've been looking for more prevention more mental health work for quite a long time belmont is woefully woefully inadequate really prepared to help with the mental health issues of the town on a very broad scale and i could feel the rest of your meeting talking about that having said that the type of position that you're talking about here is not really something we're looking to place on the need to help the partner this there's two ways that that we've seen going with this there was an idea that was proposed of you know possibly a consultant for five hours a week to work to try to coordinate with the current existing services that  haven't time to try to bring it together so there's not duplications that you don't have wheel spinning in separate directions and they would simply try to coordinate what we're doing for the drug problem in town opioid in particular but broader than that as well and that's not something that we felt should be underneath us we felt that either would be as a consultant they would work independently or they should go to the first responders who should be underneath the police because if we do have an overdose if we do we have a drug issue the voice of the first people to hear about it very frankly if you come to us we're going to hand it over to the police anyway so certainly there has to be communication between so if you're talking about a short term consultant position to try to coordinate to try to organize what the chant currently  which is certainly not a bad idea we would support that but i would maintain that this is not something that needs to be under the health department just like we had our opioid study which by the way was paid for by a grant life for the town so we're huge  town this is a much broader issue and once again the question is is the best place for it underneath the health department because it once again has to be working with the first responders when the opioid report that the three of you should have received in your office came through my board through it on a quite a bit and what we realize is that if we treat the mental health issues of this town opioid does not come to the top of the list were extremely fortunate  belmont that while he certainly is a problem it is not the top problem that we had and i will tell you from the activity in my department and the police if you really want to throw money at mental health you want to start with hoarding because hoarding is be coing going up logarithmically i cannot tell you we have at least fourteen houses that we're working at now we have condemned two houses in the last three years i've sat on this board thirty years it took twenty eight years for us to condemn a house because of forty we've had two deaths because according to you folks may remember the fire and the gentleman that died on concord avenue that was a hoarding issue and the council on aging is behind this one thousand because guess who the boarders are receiving exactly and the police are one hundred percent behind because we're having difficulty getting access and this is where you need somebody that truly knows what they're doing in the way of a mental health counselor now i'll stop the th sale for that but the point to where i'm going is that you've got two options if you really want to look at this a very short term specific position that will look throughout the town of the resources we currently at make sure they're being coordinated it's a finite thing it's a console did that work i believe it was five hours a week that was proposed and they could work independently underneath the selections office and report back to us in a finite time if you want to broaden it but let's address mental health so you've got a multiple department issue going on here and to your point mr vice chair the fact that you put it off until two thousand one hundred is perfect for us because hurry honestly the initial conversation that you had was a great starting point that grant program offers training to the training that i think that just so you know i think we're not necessarily missing we can look at france for which we we applied and we didn't get them and see once again the police have to be part of any conversation will be forward because they're the first responders you know department's role in this is education is you know tree arching is steering people to resources but you know and again i don't mean to prolong this you have to tie in mental health care if you're dealing with because why in the world of people abusing opioid and other drugs to begin with you know you know we're facing marijuana and once again that's going to be a mental health issue you're and four and hundred and fifty six million dollars budget i think this is the right thing to do   article which is written as possibly having an appropriation there and so we need to sort of talk about that as well too because because there's a whole question about the that the school department's heading to to have close out this year up about a million dollars in the circuit breaker account of which there has been conversation and there's the difference of opinion about whether town meeting should have a stay about directing within the school budget whether some of that normally the ward committee response to the motions that have been made and so we're happy to get involved before but i mean normally we normally would go with that but but but i think it's helpful that we that we be involved in this
