Meeting set to settle mental health dispute The entire issue of mental health services in Nevada county will be aired at a board of supervisor public hearing slated for later this month. The hearing was slated after the board received studies and recommendations concerning continuing to contract with Sierra View Mental Health from two sources. Supervisors ordered a professional study. A Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) composed of members of the Golden Sierra Health Planning Council and the county mental health advisory voluntarily did a report. Several alternatives to contracting with Sierra View were recommended in the reports. In the meantime the publicity the issue has caused has created a great deal of unrest, supervisors concurred at a meeting in Truckee Tuesday. A new group, the Inter-Agency Council, Placer and Nevada counties has requested that the Nevada County Board of Supervisors adequately fund the Sierra View Mental Health Clinic as a regional and cooperative effort between Nevada and Placer counties to provide mental health services for residents of the Truckee-North Lake Tahoe area. The petition bearing 36 signatures also recommends that the services of . Sierra View, be increased; and that Nevada county’s request for a separate mental health program for the Truckee area be dropped because of inability of Nevada or Placer county to operate individual programs providing adequate services for citizens in their area. Presently Placer county also is served by Sierra View on a multicounty basis. Those signing the petition included the Truckee District Court judge, representatives of Nevada and Placer county departments of probation, public health, sheriff’s office, welfare, Council on Alcoholism, and medical personnel and ‘other individuals living in the two counties. Chairman Tom Turner was “completely puzzled” by the new group. Willie Curran, fifth district supervisor, also confessed to be at a loss but, “had to go along with the thinking because of the names on the petition.”’ Pat Sutton, who was at a meeting when the resolution was drafted, shed some light on the subject. There had been recommendations in reports for discontinuance of the contract with Sierra View. Eastern Nevada and Placer county residents believe the regional approach of cooperation between their two counties is best for them. They fear deterioration of quality of ‘service if Nevada county goes it alone. “Nevada county did not have mental health services for quite a period,”’ Mrs. Sutton said. She cited benefits the signers believe Sierra View brought to the eastern portions of both counties. “‘Sierra View is doing a good job,” she said. Turner explained that the board had ordered an independent. study by Steve Thompson, and now is involved in evaluating . the recommendations. , Offered. —— ee A WEDDING BELL chiming with golden friendship, silver coins and paper bills was presented recently to the newly-wedded Mrs. Clifford Merrifield.
