The <br />objective of developing a strategic plan for human <br />services should be completed goal by mid -year. <br />The Task Force, HSAC, and the Human Services <br />Management Team are encouraging providers to obtain <br />formal endorsement of the mission statement from their <br />boards. Also, the Task Force will present a final <br />report with recommendations for a planning process to <br />the County Commissioners by June. Approval from the <br />towns, the county, and the United Way will be <br />necessary to implement the plan. <br />The Task Force will disband as a committee by that <br />time. Some Task Force members will continue working <br />under the structure of the new planning process. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Manager recommends that the Board receive the report <br />as information. <br />
