The Board of Supervisors approved this document at their November 29 Work Session. If you have any particular questions, please contact Mike Hensch, Executive Director. Jill Wenger Administrative Assistant Johnson County Board of Supervisors Office 0weneer@co.iohnson.ia.us 319-356-6000 Johnson County BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Janelle Rettig, Chairperson Kurt M. Friese Mike Carberry, Vice Chairperson Lisa Green -Douglass Rod Sullivan Proposed Behavioral Health Access/CIT Center What is the issue? Law enforcement officers throughout Johnson County are currently limited to two options when they respond to behavioral health-related calls for assistance: take the individual to a hospital emergency room or take them to jail. Neither is an appropriate solution, and both options are expensive and the facilities themselves are overwhelmed by behavioral health needs. These calls are time-consuming for officers, taking anywhere from several hours to an entire shift to handle, which may include standing by with the individual at the emergency room. National statistics show that 7% to 10% of law enforcement calls are related to behavioral health issues. A recent study of four heavy consumers of medical, law enforcement, and social services in Johnson County showed that over a five-year period, the total service cost to provide them with medical, mental health, substance abuse, legal, housing, and case management services was $2.16 million. Two of these individuals have since died and the other two are still homeless, actively abusing substances, and their mental health is unmanaged. Other communities have developed restoration or access centers to provide a more appropriate solution for individuals who are experiencing behavioral health crises. These communities have demonstrated that the average turnaround time for officers involved with these types of calls can be reduced to 10 to 15 minutes total. With the assistance of area cities, the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (UIHC) Emergency Medicine Department, and local non-profit agencies, Johnson County is in the process of developing such a center. What is the solution? The proposed Behavioral Health Access/CIT (crisis intervention team/training) Center will provide immediate behavioral health intervention and treatment, as well as comprehensive service coordination and transition planning. When fully operational, the facility will contain sobering, detoxification, crisis observation, and crisis stabilization units, as well as a low -barrier shelter, mobile crisis outreach, medical first aid, and 24-hour telemedicine. A working group comprised of law enforcement officers, government officials, physicians, social service providers, and various other stakeholders has been exploring models and associated costs. How much is this going to cost? The initial projected capital cost may be up to $6.5 million for a 22,000 square foot facility. It is believed that this cost may be lower based upon current estimates. The Board is asking that the capital costs be contributed by participating Johnson County governments, as follows: • Johnson County: 40% • City of Iowa City: 40% • City of Coralville: 10% • City of North Liberty: 10% Any additional capital funding received from sources such as other cities, grants, or private donations will be designated toward ongoing building maintenance costs and future capital improvements. Behadoral Health Access Center -CIT Intormation.dou 1 21512 01 7 Projected 3 -Year Annual Projected 3 -Year Annual Projected 3 -Year Net Operating Expense: Operating Revenue: Operating Income: • Year 1: $1.46 million • Year 2: $1.5 million • Year 3:$1.54 million Year 1: $1.10 million Year 2: $1.12 million Year 3: $1.15 million • Year 1: ($367,000) • Year 2: ($376,000) • Year 3: ($385,000) Who will cover shortfalls in annual operating income? Johnson County will provide funding in the event that operating expenditures exceed operating income, up to $400,000 annually. In the worst-case scenario, if no Medicaid reimbursements are received, then net operating losses could be up to $900,000 annually. The first organizational response to annual deficits will be to re -assess facility staffing levels and the service options provided. If the deficit is greater than $400,000, the Board will ask the participating governments to meet to find a permanent funding solution, and to fund the shortfall in the same proportion that they contributed to the initial capital costs. Johnson County will dedicate $785,000 of its "SF504 fund"—One-time money from the Mental Health/Disability Services of the East Central Region—toward start-up cash for operations and to cover annual budgetary shortfalls. Operating revenue for the facility will be earned through reimbursements for service from Medicaid, Medicare, and private health insurance companies. Iowa County has indicated that they may contribute $100,000 toward operational expenses. Other counties and philanthropic organizations may provide operational funding. Who will own and operate the building? Johnson County will be the owner of the building, will coordinate the construction and/or renovation of the structure, and will be the operator of the physical facility. Who will manage and operate the programs within the facility? A 28E agreement will be drafted between Johnson County and the participating Johnson County governments to detail the funding and obligations surrounding the purchase of real property to construct/remodel the proposed facility. This agreement will also detail the disposal process should the program cease to exist. A second 28E agreement will be drafted between Johnson County and the participating Johnson County governments to establish a facility advisory board comprised of representatives from participating local governments, local non-profit service providers, and other stakeholders. A third 28E agreement will be drafted between Johnson County and the UIHC Department of Emergency Medicine. The Emergency Medicine Department will be the overall manager of the various programs and activities that occur within the facility. Local non-profit service providers will be contracted to provide specific services. What is the timeline for decision making? The working groups (governance/steering), local law enforcement agencies, and involved non-profit service providers are interested in this facility becoming operational soon. The need for the facility is becoming more and more apparent as increasing numbers of law enforcement officers receive training in CIT. The Board of Supervisors has budgeted funds to purchase a building, though they do not have the total amount needed. The Board believes that two of the 28E agreements could be worked out relatively quickly. The agreement with UIHC Department of Emergency Medicine may take a bit longer, but significant progress can be accomplished regarding the facility in the interim. The Board requests that participating local governments make a commitment toward this facility and include funding for the facility in their respective FY19 budgets.

Instead they pushed harder, completely re -imagining a massive swath of land extending from Iowa Avenue in the north to Highway 6 in the south. The result, the Downtown and Riverfront Crossings District Master Plan, has already borne fruit with millions in new invest- ments in housing, hotel projects, office space, commercial busi- nesses, parking facilities and the University of Iowa's new Voxrnan 070TT 77C M 1i?- W"/l RIVERFRONT PAGE 9 Mapping the districts The South Gilbert distinct of Iowa City's Downtown and Riverfront Crossings Master Plan is seeing a flurry of activity with the long -planned park finally scheduled to open next year. The park will serve as the development's "front yard," city officials say MAP CITY OF IOWA CRY RIVERFRONT FROM PAGE 1 School of Music building. Now, with the city's Riverfront Cruel ings Park set to open next yew, the south- ernmost and least updated pocket of the district is finally abuzz with activity, from a new brewery -restaurant to the construc- tion of at least five mixed-use apartment and commercial buildings. Developers say they are eager to join with the city in constructing both a more welcoming gateway to the downtown area and a thriving neighborhood with a char- acter all its own. 'The park is the real catalyst' Karen Howard, associate planner in the city's ur- ban planning office, said of the ongoing redevelopment along the south Gilbert Street corridor. 'Turning a city sewer into the front yard of a new neighborhood is a pretty big and exciting change. We've rethought our relationship with the river and, with the park we're treating it as an asset and a driver for new development.' Nam Kaeding, a co-owner of Big Grove Brewery, which opened its second 26,000 -square -foot location at 1225 S. Gilbert St. last spring, said he and his Pam ners probably would have not considered the site were it not for the park. "That was the draw,' Mr. Kaeding said, adding that locating the business nest to 'what is probably the City Park of our generation' and smack in the middle of a bustling new residential area was an op- portunity that couldn't be passed up. 'It's something you just can't replicate someplace else,' he said. The city has done a really great job bringing thew vi- sion to life. That's a really big deal from a development perspective.' Riverfront Crossings Park is 'quickly becoming Iowa City's showcase on the Iowa River,' said Parka and Recreation Director Juli Seydell Johnson. Bounded to the west by the river and to the east by new development on Gilbert Street the park will feature connections to the Iowa River Trail, a five -ace wetland ama, striking vistas of the Iowa River and a 'nature play area' that mixes traditional playground pieces like swings and slides with exploration areas created from land forms, landscaping and creek features. Fu- ture phases of the park will add shelters, restrooms, boat access to the river and a large community lawn. Randy Miller, president and managing member of 1201 Gilbert LLC and 1301 Gilbert LLC, said that like Big Grove, park construction was the trigger for his Corridor Business Journal Dec. 4-10, 2017 INFLUENCE_ AFFLUEh6 10 Doc. 4 -10, 2017 Carrltlor Business doumal Big Grove Brewery and a large new mixed-use development, including more than 300 new residences, will face the new 17 -acre Riverside Crossings Park.

The first building at 1301 Gilbert also (mown as 13019Ihe Crossings, is already well underway and slated to open in lune. The three-story structure, located on the site of the former Pleasant Valley Nursery, will include about 15,000 square feet of commercial space on the first floor with 27 studio apartments on the upper floors. The next phase of the pmject at 1101 S. Gilbert, will break ground in October 2018 and eventually house four new buildings with about 260 apartments ranging from studios to two -bedrooms, plus additional ground floor commercial space. AR told, Mr. Miller and his partners aim to bring more than 300 units of affordable 'workforce housing' and about 28,000 square feet of new commercial space to market comer ct- ing approximately one new building a year. 1201 S. Gilbert is the current site of Alexander Lumber, which will move to a new location in 2018. Company Presi- dent Russell Kathrein did not respond to the CBI by press time, although recent published reports suggest the Aumra, fill- nois-based company could move its oper- ations to the 420th Street Industrial Park on the city's southeast side. 'Visually, you can see a lot happening in thisarea already, especiallywith the new park BigGrove and our building framed and in the rough -in stage,' Mr. Miller said of the spate of activity in the area, which The Tools You Want, Experienced Agents You Need. Big Grove Brewery in the center of the South Gilbert development area chose their new site for the opportunity to be adjacent to "the City Park of our generation," said croowner Nate Kaeding. Developer Randy Miller plans at least four other mixed-use buildings with hundreds of "workforce" apartments on the north side of the brewery, on land currently occupied by Alexander Lumber. has even spilled across the street with the opening of Natural Grocers and the return of Carlos O'Kelly's in a newly-commuct. ed venue along Highway 6. "It's amazing the transformation that has been made, and we're going to see that kind of change again in six months.' Mr. Miller said he and the city are co- ordinating on a sidewalk system between the new neighborhood and the park in- cluding pedestrian access across the new- ly restored Ralston Creek in several spots. Earlier this year, Mr. Miller's projects qual- ified for 4312,000 in city aid, allowing him to apply for workforce housing tax credits of up to 10 percent through the Iowa Eco- nomic Development Authority Board. 'Our portion of the project is going to be a very pedestrian and bicycle friendly place for workforce housing - young pro- fessionals as well as older people - with amenities catering to the people living there,' he said. 'It's a project I believed in ... and it's everything I'd hoped For.' Mr. Miller said those amenities will in - dude retail, office services and health and beauty salons in the commercial bays. That space is currently leasing for between 422-428 a square foot according to pro- motional material. 'We want a mix our residential tenants will use and appreciate having onsite,' he said, adding that commercial space at the 1301 building is nearly full and he is al- ready negotiating with commercial tenants about the 1201 site. -They say. 'if you build it they will come; but it's certainly good to know they'll be there. I sleep easier.' Ms. Howard said high interest in the area was not surprising, considering the number of phone calls the city is fielding "from property owners in the area, from People seeing what's happening and ask- ing about redevelopment' Iowa City Economic Development Co- ordinator Wendy Ford concurred. While the park provided the redevelopment spark she said, all the new activity is 'creating a critical mass spurring dsvel- opera to continue to look invest and help us fill out our vision for the Riverhom Crossings area.' - - -We have the ability to be a catalyst for change in this up-and-coming pan of town,' agreed Mr. Kaeding, who believes development on the south end of the district will help tie it into the downtown area alongside other new projects like the S 102 million RISE at Riverfront Crossings project at lira[ and Court streets, the new MidWestOne Place@Rkverside Crossings building and the nearby Sabin Townho- mes at Prentiss and Clinton streets. New businesses and residences will add vitality, Ms. Ford said, while the park anchoring Riverfront Crossings' south end will ensure the river can rise to flood - way without damaging nearby structures, draw attention to the area and serve notice that'we really care about this end of town and want people to live there, visit there and do business there.' 'I'm a lifer in Iowa City and for all that time, that area was highly underutilised,' she added. 'Now, with just a bit of vision, it's being reimagined to add to the core of Iowa City.'
