1AA <br /> Memorandum <br /> Date: November 27, 1995 <br /> To: Moses Carey, Chairman <br /> Orange County Commission <br /> From: Karen Taylor and Tony Dalton <br /> Co-Chairs, Orange County Human Services Advisory Commission <br /> Re: 1995 HSAC Forum Report <br /> Attached is the report from the 1995 Forum hosted by the Human Services Advisory <br /> Commission—"Human Services in Transition"—held at the Friday Center in Chapel <br /> Hill on October 2nd. <br /> However, in your letter to the HSAC Co-Chairs, you requested one or two goals for the <br /> County Commissioners to address at it's Retreat on December 9th. While the report <br /> contains some specific recommendations for the various public agencies, for county <br /> government, and for related organizations, we feel that it is important to address the <br /> current state of flux and the uncertainty with a confident and constructive theme that <br /> ran throughout the discussions of the Forum this year. <br /> That is, it is critical this year that the various constituent groups Public and private <br /> agencies, county govemment, and even service "consumers"—pursue the creation of <br /> a range of collaborative mechanisms that will enable real partnerships. We believe <br /> that Orange County has unique capabilities, but each of these constituent groups will <br /> be required to make changes. What the forum mainly asks of the County <br /> Commissioners is the public sanctioning of the report and some funding to foster <br /> collaborative mechanisms on a year-around basis. We will certainly be available to <br /> briefly discuss our report and the major goals in this letter. <br /> /Qece�veo� i�S�9S <br /> ti <br /> i <br />
