16 <br /> 1 Slide #15 <br /> Staff reviewing Governance Charter and <br /> MOU <br /> -Documents prescribe composition <br /> and role of Executive Committee, <br /> Leadership Team <br /> •Staff ensuring that LT and OCPEH remain in <br /> compliance (ex: Exec. Committee has not met <br /> recently) <br /> •Staff also seek to broaden participation, e.g. <br /> residents with lived experience,those in north <br /> of county, members of bu&gA� ����jty <br /> HOUSING DEPARTMENT <br /> 2 <br /> 3 Blake Rosser said there is the option of providing a stipend to those who participate on <br /> 4 the leadership team that the partnership has not been using. <br /> 5 Chair Bedford said that it appears there is a shift from 2021 and 2022 when Orange County <br /> 6 was not in charge of the Continuum of Care. She said the only thing the county did was basically <br /> 7 be the employer of record. She said that it is interesting question whether the county should take <br /> 8 this on and be in charge. <br /> 9 Blake Rosser said according to the ILA the county is not supposed to do that. He said <br /> 10 that the previous partnership manager did such a great job, but Danielle really understands the <br /> 11 Continuum of Care. He said he will likely bring the Board an option to combine two groups into <br /> 12 one. He said that the partnership manager should not be residing over the performance review <br /> 13 committee because there is a conflict of interest there. He said the grants position is relatively <br /> 14 new and they will be the main staff liaison with that committee, and they will be more independent <br /> 15 than they have been. <br /> 16 Chair Bedford asked if HUD mandates a Continuum of Care. <br /> 17 Blake Rosser said yes, and it is the industry standard. <br /> 18 Chair Bedford asked if it must be the executive team the way it is now. <br /> 19 Blake Rosser said the executive committee is a local choice. He said the way they have <br /> 20 arranged it is with the leadership team, the executive committee, and the Partnership as a whole. <br /> 21 He said they have stepped back from that, and they are focusing on being in alignment with the <br /> 22 country standard. He said it is better to be going along with what everyone is doing because it <br /> 23 simplifies things. <br /> 24 Commissioner Portie-Ascott asked if there are residents with lived experience who are <br /> 25 also not part of a non-profit. <br /> 26 Blake Rosser said they had one person, but that person is not a currently active attendee. <br /> 27 He said he is unaware of any others. <br /> 28 <br /> 29 <br />
