file with the City a written promise to unconditionally accept all terms of the

Administrativ e Recommendation:
City Council to approve Resolution No. 5729.
Background for Motion:
If approved, this Resolution will allow the City of Auburn to collaborate with Amerigroup to
expand awareness of the R.E.A.D.Y. program and increase use of the new 988 Suicide &
Crisis Lifeline to help ensure those that are in a mental health crisis in Auburn can get the help
they need.
Background Summary:
In 2016, the Healthy Auburn for Life Blue Ribbon Committee was created. The committee
identified nine major health issues to address in Auburn. One of the top issues identified was
behavioral and mental health. A major program was developed in 2017 called R.E.A.D.Y.
(Real Emergency Aid Depends on You).
R.E.A.D.Y. is a one-hour program that was written and developed to provide information about
common behavioral and mental health issues; basic, practical skills to use in emergent situations
and to bridge the gap until 911 response is on-site (if needed) and what to expect when they
