39 <br /> The September 2022 resolution submitted to NCACC highlighted eight legislative issues, all of <br /> which are reformatted into the proposed attached document for Board consideration. <br /> Greg Wilder, Assistant to the County Manager for Legislative Affairs, reviewed the <br /> background information for the item. He said due to the short amount of time that has passed <br /> since the approval, staff has reformatted the items for submittal to the legislative delegation. <br /> Commissioner Fowler said she would like to add bullet points to a couple of categories. <br /> Under Mental Health & Behavioral Health Services, she asked to add: <br /> • Increasing innovation waiver slots more aggressively to meet the Olmstead Act <br /> requirements; and <br /> • Increasing pay for nurses and direct support staff. <br /> Under Racial Equity in Criminal Justice, Commissioner Fowler asked to add: <br /> • Decompression of the Juvenile Justice salaries. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Fowler, seconded by Commissioner Greene, to <br /> approve the Orange County 2023 Priority Legislative Issues document for submittal to Orange <br /> County's legislative delegation with the suggested amendments by Commissioner Fowler. <br /> Commissioner Greene said she hopes they will be more favorably received by the <br /> legislative delegation than the reception by the NCACC. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 7.
