22 <br /> <br />Commissioner Marcoplos asked if there are specific state legislations requirements that <br />county DSS offices must meet. <br />Nancy Coston said most of the requirements are federal, which are passed on by the <br />State. She said if local programming does not receive significant federal funding, the standards <br />may not apply as strongly. <br />Commissioner Marcoplos clarified that the Federal requirements are for the purposes of <br />dispersing funds, and not necessarily to hold the counties accountable. <br />Nancy Coston said it is a combination, and if the State does not meet certain child <br />welfare performance measures, then certain Federal funds will be withheld. She said NC is <br />currently under a program improvement plan due to not meeting federal standards, as are most <br />states around the country; and thus counties are under a program improvement plan as well. <br />Commissioner Marcoplos asked if the state were to take over DSS, would it be violating <br />any standards. <br />Nancy Coston said if the State were to take over it would not want to violate the federal <br />requirements, as it would lead to a loss of funding. She said for the State to take over a county, <br />it would want to improve the county’s existing performance levels. <br />Chair Dorosin asked if Nancy Coston would outline a letter to the legislative delegation. <br />Commissioner Price said the NCACC talked about regionalization, and no one seemed <br />in favor of it. She said a letter may help. <br />Chair Dorosin asked if staff would draft a letter. <br /> <br /> <br />8.
