Part II: Narrative Explanation
II. A - Brief Description Of What The Measure Does That Has Fiscal Impact
Significant provisions of the bill and any related workload or policy assumptions that have revenue or expenditure impact on the responding agency by
section number.

This bill requires the Military Department's Emergency Management Division (EMD) to establish the emergency crisis
assistance team pilot project. EMD would fund (via grant award) two emergency crisis assistance teams that support
community-based public safety and provide mobile mental health crisis intervention for crises involving mental illness,
homelessness, and addiction.

The Military Department would establish a competitive grant program to award funding for two emergency crisis assistance
teams by September 1, 2023, one grant to a city east and one grant to a city west of the Cascades. With grant recipient
cooperation, the Military Department must provide a report on the emergency crisis assistance team pilot project to the
governor and the appropriate committees of the legislature by Dec 1, 2024.
II. B - Cash receipts Impact
Cash receipts impact of the legislation on the responding agency with the cash receipts provisions identified by section number and when appropriate, the
detail of the revenue sources. Description of the factual basis of the assumptions and the method by which the cash receipts impact is derived. Explanation
of how workload assumptions translate into estimates. Distinguished between one time and ongoing functions.

II. C - Expenditures
Agency expenditures necessary to implement this legislation (or savings resulting from this legislation), with the provisions of the legislation that result in
the expenditures (or savings) identified by section number. Description of the factual basis of the assumptions and the method by which the expenditure
impact is derived. Explanation of how workload assumptions translate into cost estimates. Distinguished between one time and ongoing functions.

(1) Salaries and Benefits
.5 of an FTE (EMPS3) to develop, manage and monitor the program. Since the program ends halfway through FY25, only
.25 FTE will be required for FY25.
FY24 $61,343
FY25 $30,677

(2) Staff Program Management Costs
$2,000 per FY will be required for staff supplies ($1,000) and travel ($1,000) to monitor execution of the two grant awards.
FY24 $2,000
FY25 $2,000

(3) Emergency Crisis Assistance Teams
Funding amounts granted to the two entities would depend on the size of the project, the area and population each entity is
covering, and the hours of personnel time provided. We've based our fiscal projections on the CAHOOTS program in
Eugene, OR which would equate to $798,000 for 31hrs of personnel service hours per day, 7 days a week, for 1.5 years.
Establishing two locations in WA would cost $1,096,000 in FY 24 ($548,000 per program) and $548,000 in FY25 ($274,000
per program) but this could be lower or higher depending on the size of the response area, population served, and coverage
requested. Further research is needed.
FY24 $1,096,000
FY25 $548,000

23-25 BN Projected Cost:
FY24: $1,159,343
FY25: $580,672
