Item No. 12 072
Date: January 23, 2012
Item/Subject: Order, Appointing Members to the Committee in Support of the
Dorothea Dix Psychiatric Facility and Services for People with Mental Illness
Responsible Department: Legal
Commentary:
At its December 28th meeting, the City Council approved Order 12-051 establishing a
committee to advocate for the continued operation of Dorothea Dix Psychiatric Facility
and care for the chronically mentally ill. In January, the Government Operations
Committee selected 13 members from the Northern Maine region who have an interest
in services for the chronically mentally ill. Given the importance of the work of this
committee on the consumers, it was later requested that the City consider the inclusion
of consumers on the Committee. This order will increase the size of the committee
from 13 to 16 members with the three additional members representing the consumers
of the Dorothea Dix Services.
