Let’s take a look at what magically appeared in what must have been discussions held behind closed doors between last Wednesday and tomorrow night when the Personnel and Finance Committee meets and likely unanimously approves this package with little public discussion.
Here are the new materials that were out at the end of the day:
- Sub 1 Operating Amendment List
- Sub 1 Operating Packet (this has the full language of the amendments)
- Sub 1 Capital Amendment List
- Sub 1 Capital Packet (this has the full language of the amendments)
I did my best to compare what was presented the three budget nights at Personnel and Finance. The links that start with “original” are the amendments that were presented during those three nights. Now there is a new packet of amendments that is linked above and below (labeled Sub 1) I confess, even tho I have tried to follow the county board budget process for several years, this process is clear as mud to me. It completely lacks transparency and consistency.
Despite the warnings on past agendas, my current understanding is that if the items are revised (in blue below) then the public can still speak on Tuesday night. There is a county board ordinance as follows:
7.225 (2) (a) If a committee has taken testimony on an item and the same committee considers action on the item at a separate meeting, the public shall not have the opportunity to testify if that same item appears on subsequent agendas of the same committee. Items are not considered to be the same item if a new amendment has been posted and the public has not had the opportunity to testify on the new amendment.

The amendment provides for an additional $1 million for the CJ Tubbs fund and provides that grants be directed with public input from those with lived experience and that the process is in place to ensure timely distribution of the grants.
The amendment specifies three efforts to raise awareness, provide engagement, and guide the direction of this work: 1) the department will implement a public strategic process to gather input on the behavioral health study and report to the Board regarding themes and recommendations; 2) the Chair of the Health and Human Needs Committee will schedule a monthly report from DCDHS on the status of the public engagement initiative as well as ongoing information regardingthe use and outcomes of all Dane County mental health expenditures; and 3) there will be a public process to help guide the distribution of new funds in the 2020 budget.”

DCDHS shall report to the Board by June 30, 2020 on the themes arising from the public process and how those themes and budget and policy recommendations inform plans to competitively procure and plan for mental health services in 2021 and beyond.
2) The Chair of the Health and Human Needs Committee, in light of the over $60 million annual spending on mental health, shall place on the committee agenda monthly a report on progress on both this public strategy process and on the use and outcomes of mental health programs supported by Dane County.
3) The Department of Human Services shall develop criteria for the distribution of funds from the community center mental and behavioral health allocation focused on kids and families as well as the CJ Tubbs Fund for Hope, Healing and Recovery in consultation with the Tubbs family and with input from the following process: The Chair of the Health and Human Needs Committee shall appoint a subcommittee of at least one county board member who serves on the Health Human Needs Committee, one board member from Public Protection and Judiciary, a representative of the CJ Tubbs family (or designee if they choose), two individuals from the community who have lived experience, a former or current service provider (who is not working for a provider who will apply for the funds).
The subcommittee shall:
be appointed by December 6, 2019;

They had a 45 minute meeting tonight with almost zero discussion (none substantive) and just passed the compromise hashed out behind closed doors. I really want to know who participated in the “uber amendment” and what the discussion was.
