22 <br />1 <br />Commissioner Marcoplos asked if there are specific state legislations requirements that <br />2 <br />county DSS offices must meet. <br />3 <br />Nancy Coston said most of the requirements are federal,which are passed on by the <br />4 <br />State. She said if local programming does not receive significant federal funding, the standards <br />5 <br />may not apply as strongly. <br />6 <br />Commissioner Marcoplos clarified that the Federal requirements are for the purposes of <br />7 <br />dispersing funds, and not necessarily to hold the counties accountable. <br />8 <br />Nancy Coston said it is a combination, and if the State does not meet certain child <br />9 <br />welfare performance measures, then certain Federal funds will be withheld. She said NC is <br />10 <br />currently under a program improvement plan due to not meeting federal standards, as are most <br />11 <br />states around the country; and thus counties are under a program improvement plan as well. <br />12 <br />Commissioner Marcoplos asked if the state were to take over DSS, would it be violating <br />13 <br />any standards. <br />14 <br />Nancy Coston said if the State were to take over itwould not want to violate the federal <br />15 <br />requirements, as it would lead to a loss offunding. She said for the State to take over a county, <br />16 <br />it would want to improve the county’s existing performance levels. <br />17 <br />Chair Dorosin asked if Nancy Coston wouldoutline a letter to the legislative delegation. <br />18 <br />Commissioner Price said the NCACC talked aboutregionalization,and no one seemed <br />19 <br />in favor of it. She said aletter may help. <br />20 <br />Chair Dorosin asked ifstaffwoulddraft a letter. <br />21 <br />22 <br />23 <br />8.
