PRESENTATIONS
a. DPCS Funding Request (Presenter: Jim Bebeau); (10 minutes)
Jim Bebeau, Danville-Pittsylvania Community Services (“DPCS”) Director, presented the Board
a funding request to expand the DPCS crisis services provided to County and City residents. Van
Der Hyde stated that during the County’s Budget process this year, funds were allocated for the
drug court in Danville. After the County Budget was adopted, County Staff learned that DPCS
will be able to fund those costs for year one (1); therefore, there is $65,000 of those funds that will
not be utilized this year, and since this is a one (1)-time only purchase, this can be done by a one
(1)-time donation. The remaining amounts may be able to come from the Opioid Settlement
money.
Motion to send this item to the full Board for approval, and to move the $65,000 that Van Der
Hyde defined, and if possible, use $35,000 from the Opioid Settlement funds. However, if $35,000
must be pulled from another source due to the Opioid Settlement not working out, that once the
Opioid is completed, that $35,000 will be placed back into the category that the funds were pulled
from so the General Fund is left whole.
