Division of Mental Health has required that each area authority <br />prepare and submit for approval a new local business plan to replace the original plan which <br />expired in December 2006. The new Plan as developed by OPC administration provides specific <br />information about OPC and its current operations, resource allocation, strategic objectives, and <br />business rules in the areas of governance and administration, business management and <br />information systems, provider relations and development, customer service and community <br />planning, care management, and quality management. OPC administration held extensive <br />stakeholder meetings and staff reviews as precursor to finalizing a draft Plan for public <br />presentation. The new Plan is due to the state by March 31, 2007. The OPC Area Board and <br />the three county commissions must review and authorize the Plan prior to submittal. <br />Attachments 1 and 2 are an Executive Summary and the Draft Local Business Plan in its <br />entirety. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no direct fiscal impact in the adoption of the draft Plan. OPC will <br />continue to submit its request for Maintenance of Effort funds for each fiscal year as part of the <br />normal budget process for the county. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board adopt the draft Local <br />Business Plan 2007-2010 for the Orange Person Chatham Area Authority. <br />
