She encouraged folks to read the 2022 State Ballot Information Booklet(Blue Book). John Staight of Eagle expressed concerns about the direction that the behavioral health initiative was taking in the valley. There were adults and adolescents in the community in distress who needed support. His concern was the response and emphasis being placed on psychiatric medications which can cause physical dependence and withdrawal. He provided the board with some of his research and hoped the information would be shared. He believed that the information he was providing was critical to the direction that the behavior health initiative was headed. Angela Peacock, Retired Army Sergeant spoke. Her story of over medication after trauma was in the film "Medicating Normal." Her job now was consulting with individuals who had been harmed by the system or who were seeking alternatives. She shared what she saw currently happening to patients being treated in distress. She believed that if Eagle Valley truly wanted to help people,they must consider the new hospital to be a healing place with outdoor time,nutritious food, and not taking people off medications too quickly. The commissioners must no longer hand over money without demanding data showing positive outcomes not just during a short term stay. Commissioner Updates Commissioner Scherr mentioned that the Home Store was doing a Home Buyer Class tonight via Google meet. Folks could visit valleyhomestore.org to register for the class and get additional information.

Agreement for Procurement and Installation Services between Golden Eagle Elderly Housing Corporation and Cooper Construction, Roofing and Exteriors, LLC Daniel Murray, Housing Executive Summary: Each month, Golden Eagle Senior Apartments deposits funds into a Reserve for Replacement account to put aside funds for upkeep to the property over time. After our 2020 and 2021 audit,the account was over-funded. In early 2022,per our auditors request,we have discontinued these deposits since we are over the threshold and need to spend the money on the property. After serious consideration and inspection with the on-site team, it was determined the best way to utilize the funds is to begin replacing the asphalt roofs on certain buildings. In 2022, our plan is to replace 4 of the 9 roofs with our reserve funds and then continue the replacement over the next two to three years on the remaining five roofs. This will revitalize their life for approximately another 30 years and allow management to explore solar options in the immediate future. The use of the reserve funds has already been approved by USDA. Mr. Murray stated that the contract was with Cooper Roofing and Golden Eagle Elderly Apartments. The goal was to replace four of the nine roofs at the complex. The replacement reserves were over funded so it was required by the auditors to spend some of those funds to improve the property. Commissioner Scherr moved to approve the Agreement for Procurement and Installation Services between Golden Eagle Elderly Housing Corporation and Cooper Construction, Roofing and Exteriors,LLC. Commissioner Chandler-Henry seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous. Commissioner Chandler-Henry moved to adjourn as the Eagle County Housing and Development Authority and reconvene as the Eagle County Board of County Commissioners.
