Motion carried unanimously. <br /> No update on Maggie Simpson. She was recommended by Britta Starke (former Substance <br /> Abuse Professional representative) but no one present at the meeting knows her It was decided <br /> that it would be better to have a representative on the board that members and programs know. <br /> Carol McClelland from Freedom House introduced herself She is the Director of Outpatient <br /> Services for Orange County. Carol is hoping to be able to attend all meetings in the future and <br /> would be interested in serving in the Substance Abuse Professional position on the board. Peggy <br /> Hamlett motioned for Carol McClelland to be appointed as the Substance Abuse Professional <br /> representative and was seconded by Bernard Miles. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> Program Monitoring—Rebekah will be contacting the programs in the next couple weeks to <br /> schedule the monitoring for January. Denise wants to do a brief(about 1 hour) training with the <br /> members who will be conducting the monitoring. Donna King would like to be added to the <br /> Monitoring Committee. Denise would like to add the training to the end of the February <br /> meeting. <br /> Risk and Needs Committee —We need members to be on the committee that will meet on January <br /> 22 in Hillsborough to discuss the data and determine funding priorities for the RFP release in <br /> March. Mia Burroughs, Kristi Price, Donna King, Peggy Hamlett, Bernard Miles, Lee Barnes, <br /> Meg McGurk, Ashely Taylor, and Carol McClelland volunteered to be on the committee. <br /> Rebekah will send out a reminder as we get closer. <br /> December 2015 Program Payments—The last check date from the county is December 18. In <br /> order for payment to be made on that date the request must be submitted by December 9. <br /> Historically,the county hasn't received notification or the funds until December 15. We wanted <br /> to give programs a heads up that the funds for December will be delayed until after January 1, <br /> but no later than January 8. <br /> Concern was raised by a program about the payment timeline and why the situation couldn't be <br /> explained to the Finance Office. If we know this is going to be problem then why can't we solve <br /> it It is being asked that the board address this issue with the new Finance Director to address the <br /> short-term the issue for December but also to address the ongoing issue for the couple times a <br /> year it happens. This funding delay hurts the non-profits financially in their ability to pay <br /> operational costs. <br />
