Your past investment has made a meaningful difference for Eagle residents facing a mental health crisis, and we are grateful for the partnership we have with the City. I am writing to respectfully request a $10,000 allocation in the City's upcoming budget. The enclosed handout outlines how this investment helps Eagle residents, reduces the burden on Local first responders and emergency services, and keeps community members out of unnecessary higher levels of care. From July 1, 2025- May 14, 2026, we identified 51 crisis contacts from Eagle residents and dispatched an in -person mobile crisis response team 19 times on their behalf. Every contact was answered - 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We are committed to transparency and accountability in our partnership with the City. I welcome any questions and am happy to present to the Council at your convenience or respond to any questions you may have throughout the year. With appreciation, 0 0 N 1, WE N � Lee Flinn, MBA Director, Idaho Crisis & Suicide Hotline Mobile: 208-841-4306 Email: lflinn@idahocrisis.org Suicide Prevention and Crisis Support for Eagle Residents Mental Health Crisis Idaho Crisis & Suicide Hotline supports individuals in crisis. A person may be in crisis when their thoughts or behavior put them at risk of hurting or killing themselves or others — or prevent them from being able to care for themselves or function effectively within their family or community. In the past year, we identified 51 Eagle residents who reached out to ICSH in crisis — and every one of those contacts was answered. Idaho Crisis & Suicide Hotline dispatched in -person mobile crisis response teams 19 times to support Eagle residents at risk. Crisis responders collect basic demographic information from help -seekers when possible. Not all callers are able to provide this information while in crisis, and many choose not to share any identifiable information. Data for any particular demographic is therefore undercounted. By providing support at the moment of crisis, ICSH helps reduce unnecessary emergency department visits and welfare checks by local law enforcement — keeping Eagle residents out of higher levels of care and reducing the burden on first responders. From 711125 — 5114126, total known Eagle contacts: 51 • 39 calls 7 texts • 5 calls from Eagle first responders (on dedicated line) 19 mobile crisis response team dispatches Entry Point for Life -Saving Support Idaho Crisis & Suicide Hotline is an entry -point into the state's behavioral health system. For many people, a phone call is a first step in getting help. We provide: • A mental health safety net to individuals and families who may lack resources or access to support outside the business hours of healthcare providers. • 24/7 support for Idahoans in emotional distress, including those who have suicidal thoughts. • Follow-up phone calls to patients discharged from psychiatric hospitals and those leaving crisis centers. • Relief to first responders by helping callers de-escalate before an emergency response is needed." Outcomes and Public Safety Impact In 2025, 98% of ICSH crisis contacts were resolved without a 911 response or emergency department referral. This matters for Eagle's bottom line: the average cost of an emergency department visit for a patient treated and released following suicidal ideation is $9,927 — and $37,164 for patients admitted or transferred following a suicide attempt. By intervening early, ICSH helps Eagle residents avoid these costs while freeing first responders to focus on medical and public safety emergencies. f + 9$p�o of 988 crisis contacts in 2025 were resolved without 911 response or an emergency department referral. Avoidable Emergency & Related Fallow -Up Costs Individuals presenting at a hospital emergency department: $9,927 Average cost for patients treated and released after suicidal ideation $ 37,164 Average cost for patients admitted or transferred following a suicide attempt Idaho 988 and the crisis system help resolve crises early, reducing unnecessary use of emergency services so first responders can focus on medical and public safety emergencies.

Q 700 NE, 2"d Street I Suite 100 1 Meridian, ID 83642 0 rideVRT.org Financial Assumptions and Process The General Assessment requested above is based on your jurisdiction's population. For jurisdictions that support directly -provided services, VRT equitably distributes costs using a local cost allocation model to determine the fair share of local contributions necessary to maintain existing and planned services. These are calculated on a proportionate share of operations and any negotiated agreements for service or capital projects. Below is a description of each of the assessment categories. Assessment Categories • General Assessments- support regional overhead expenses (administration, finance, communications, etc.) • Service Assessments- support public transportation service operations and associated paratransit, preventive maintenance, planning and administration within your jurisdiction. • Capital Assessments- support capital procurement, asset maintenance and replacement, design and capital construction projects and infrastructure maintenance or enhancements • Special Assessments- are negotiated contributions requested to support activities, programs or projects outside of the typical assessments (specialized transportation services, planning projects, contingent capital construction projects, etc.) Strategic Direction The Valley Regional Transit (VRT) Board is committed to making sure existing and future resources are used in alignment with the strategic direction and priorities adopted by the VRT Board of Directors to connect more people to more places more often: Vision Valley Regional Transit envisions a region with comprehensive public transportation choices designed to meet the needs of citizens and businesses and to support livable, healthy, and sustainable communities through adequate and secure funding to support those choices.
