13 Objectives of-the Coordinating Council: The purpose of the Coordinating Council is to create a mechanism for sharing information and identifying common goals. The organizations who fund or provide human services may then use this mechanism to enhance our service delivery system. For the first two years, the Council will work to accomplish three tasks: (1) Create a system to collect, analyze, and share information pertinent to the human services system. (2) Produce an annual report on the state of human services to provide a base of information for use during the funding application processes. The representatives will be responsible for sharing the report with the advisory and governing boards of their sponsoring organizations. (3) Encourage community problem- solving efforts by identifying the task forces and interagency groups currently working to address human service issues, staying informed of their activities, and facilitating their work when possible. As new concerns are identified, the Council could ask an existing task force to add the issue to its agenda or create a new work group to address the issue. The work of the Council, particularly the timing of the release of the snapshot report, should be compatible with the planning and budgeting processes of the participating organizations. By the beginning of the third year, the Coordinating Council should evaluate its accomplishments to determine whether it should disband, maintain or delegate its current functions, or expand its work to include additional planning or coordinating objectives. if the Council elects to continue its work, it will develop a structure that specifies the length of representatives' terms and how they will be replaced.
