Eckstrom The Greyhound Park renovation, Michas G and M Restaurant expansion and Tucson Container Corp. relocation to South Tucson are examples of added sources of sales-tax dollars, Eckstrom mid.

Supervisors review $880,000 Kino plan By Rebecca Dean El Independiente An $880,01X1 plan to expand Kino Community Hospital's psychiatric services is being considered by the Pima County Board of Supervisors. Kino's chief of psychiatry, Dr. Jose M. Santiago, introduced the eight-pail plan last week. it is estimated to save the county $1.3 mitron during the next year. The board's budget committee will review the plan, then present its fmdings at the board's second study session March 27, Supervisor David A. Yetman said. "Ultimately, Dr. Santiago will get all or most of what he has asked for. We just don't know when. We need to see how much it really will cost," Yetman mid. The plan is designed to save the county money in treating mentally ill indigents and to cope with a rising number of mentally ill indigents in Pima County. "The population of Tucson is increasing, and with that, the number of chronically mentally B who are indigents. Some of them are homeless," Santiago said. The plan "will stem the tide, buy us some time." According to a report released at the meeting, the plan includes the establishment of county-operated homes and apartmeiits and of a community-placement and support program for mentally ill transients. Currently, most mentally ill transients are picked up by police or the sheriff's office and are detained in city or county jails, Santiago said. Also proposed is the expansion of Kino's treatment program to deal with 100 more mentally ill patients. The program currently works with 100 patients. Also included in the report are plans for a 24-hour crisis team responding to calls over a hot line, a new child and adolescent psychiatric section at Kino, and aid from Kino staff to the Pima County Jail. The $1.3 million savings to the county is based on a pilot study conducted by Santiago and his staff beginning Oct. 1. In that study, a dormitory and clay program were established to treat all Kino psychiatric patients. As of January, the psychiatric department stopped referring all of its patients to private psychiatric facilites, which the county must pay for. The county pays $3W to $418) a day to provide hospital psychiatric care. Dormitory care at Kino costs from $30 to $50 a day. Santiago also argued for better "state of the art" treatment of the chronically mentally ill. ventas que se recauden por la construcción de nuevos negocios yin expansión de los ya existentes, dijo el alcalde Daniel W.
