Barriers to Exoaneion of Ca e
■ Limited space & parking at Righway 21 north office (10-11 offices shared by
multiple people).
■ Recruitment is needed although space is limited (60 employees now - by aummer
of 1998 should be 85-90 employees).
■ NIS development has been slower than expected (internal cable & phone line
problems).
■ Infrastructure development is catching up (billing & receivables).
Possible Solutions
■ Immediate space in Statesville
■ Space in Mooresville needed soon (actively searching for a site now -- a
location near the proposed new Lake Norman Reg. Med. Center would be ideal.
Space up to 3,000 aq. !t* could be used now -- projecting that by fall of 1998
7,500 eq. ft. will
ba needed.
■ Recruitment of additional professionals
Mr. Mashburn mentioned the possibility of Crossroads using the vacant Youth Home facility
on Twin Oaks Road. He also mentioned that additional parking (105 spaces) would be available
soon at the Hwy. 21 site. (Gravel will be placed on the lot for the time being. Paving can be done
next year.)
Swann proposed two ideas for the utilization of the youth home. They were: (1) Clubhouse
for mentally ill adults whereby they would be taught job skills. The "members" and staff would
work out of the home for teaming a trade as well as working with the business community in
obtainingjobs. (2) "Outstationing" some of the case managers. (These individuals primarily work
out in the field but they need a base for office work.)
Johnson asked ifthe youth home would satisfy Crossroads' space needs. Swann said maybe
for about three months.
Boone asked about the past idea of creating a Detox Center at the youth home. Mashburn
said this had been discussed, but that Crossroads envisioned other things for the home. He
mentioned that the house and double -wide unit located on Wilson Lee Blvd. were in a high -crime
area. It is his feeling that it would create an unsafe environment for employees as well their clients
to be in this area on a day-to-day basis. Due to this problem, this house will probably have a low
resale value. The possibility of moving the double -wide unit to another site has been considered.
MOTION by Commissioner Fortner to allow the Youth Home residence to be utilized by the
Crossroads Behavioral Healthcare for the purposes described by Mr. Swann.
Attorney Pope asked about liability insurance at the youth home facility. Mashburn said a
contractual agreement would be written similar to the Hwy. 21 facility lease between Crossroads and
the county.
