24 <br /> 1 Commissioner Greene said she would not be comfortable changing from Cardinal at this <br /> 2 time. <br /> 3 Bonnie Hammersley said the letter would be a letter to support the County going with <br /> 4 Wake and Durham, and while it may carry some weight there is no guarantee that it will <br /> 5 happen. She said NCACC is gathering information from all counties. She said the reason this <br /> 6 agenda item has been brought up so close to the deadline is because, in talking with the <br /> 7 Department of Social Services and Travis Myren, it was decided that a letter would not be sent <br /> 8 at all, but Commissioner Bedford petitioned for the Board to make that decision. <br /> 9 Chair Rich asked if the change might be made whether Orange County supports it or <br /> 10 not. <br /> 11 Bonnie Hammersley said that is her understanding, and all counties across the state are <br /> 12 being reviewed. <br /> 13 Commissioner Price said the NCACC will not be making the decision, but a <br /> 14 representative from each of the LMEMCOs will meet, and the map will be reviewed and the <br /> 15 state divided accordingly. <br /> 16 Ric Bruton said when the standard plan was created there were maps of regions. He <br /> 17 said when these maps came out, it was clear that they did not line up with the LMEMCOs. He <br /> 18 said LMEMCOs are the only people able to apply for those contracts for the first year. He said <br /> 19 NCACC is trying to gather input on what these maps should look like. <br /> 20 Commissioner McKee said this does not mean they will be moved or not moved, but if <br /> 21 the County remains with Cl, it would send a very strong signal to Cardinal Innovations that the <br /> 22 County expects its residents to be taken care of. <br /> 23 Commissioner Dorosin said Commissioner Bedford is the BOCC representative on the <br /> 24 Cardinal Board, and he will defer to her recommendation and will vote for this tonight. <br /> 25 <br /> 26 A motion was made by Commissioner Dorosin, seconded by Commissioner McKee that <br /> 27 the Board authorize the Chair to sign a letter to the Committee recommending the composition <br /> 28 of Tailored Plan Regions that communicates Orange County's preference to be in a Region that <br /> 29 includes Durham and Wake counties, and for the Clerk to the Board to submit the letter before <br /> 30 the April 17 deadline. <br /> 31 <br /> 32 VOTE: Yeas, 3 (Commissioner McKee, Commissioner Dorosin, Chair Rich); Nays, 3 <br /> 33 (Commissioner Greene, Commissioner Price, Commissioner Marcoplos <br /> 34 <br /> 35 (since there were only six members and it was a tied vote, the motion does not pass) <br /> 36 <br /> 37 7.
