Item/Subject: Resolve, Authorizing the City Manager to Accept and Appropriate funding in
the amount of $40,000 from the Maine Health Access Foundation.
Responsible Department: Health and Community Services
Commentary: This resolve will authorize the City Manager to accept and appropriate $40,000
from the Maine Health Access Foundation for planning on substance abuse issues.
Having successfully completed the first pre -planning phase, the Public Health and Community
Services Department received notice of funding for the second planning phase of the Maine
Health Access Foundation Achieving Better Health in Communities. Healthy Community Grants
Program. The pre -planning phase brought together a diverse group representing public and
private organizations across multiple industries and sectors to work collectively to identify 1-2
critical health issues that warrant attention in the Healthy Maine Partnership service area
including Bangor, Brewer, Clifton, Eddington, Glenburn, Hampden, Hermon, Holden, Levant,
Newburgh, Orono, Orrington, and Veazie.
The critical issue selected for the second planning phase is Substance Abuse. This issue was
chosen because of its documented impact on health. Momentum exists to make substantive
positive changes to address the substance abuse -related needs of our community. There is
demonstrated commitment from influential stakeholder leadership and area organizations.
Strategies are in place for meaningfully engaging those with lived experiences and maintaining
communication and inclusivity. The term of the grant is May 1, 2015 — October 31, 2016.
This was reviewed and recommended for approval at the April 22, 2015 Government Operations
Committee meeting.
