Minutes were adopted as written.

IV.       Competencies Update

·        An update on the competencies and monitoring was provided.  The competencies on the web is out of date. There have been four revisions since that version.

-     Debbie and Densie are attending bi-weekly meetings at the State. 

-     Going to see what the communities can design regarding training.

·        There is a monitoring meeting regarding SB 163.

-     Changes regarding Division rules need teeth put into them.

-     Group is meeting to put rules into effect.

-     Need to create a standard way that information on children can be tracked. 

v     Possibly use a unique identifier used by all agencies.

v     Hold agencies accountable when sending clients across catchment area.

v     The report of all children who are out of their home counties is due in Raleigh in April and will include information on where the child is and why; how much it is costing and what the county is doing about returning the child to their home.  Then, the General Assembly will decide how to proceed.

v     There was discussion about some counties commenting that they have many resources and the dichotomy among counties regarding wealth.

v     In response to a question by a provider, Debbie J. commented that currently there are no penalties for providers who accept out of county children.

V.        Update Service Array of Provider Information

·        Distributed the Service Provider Information Form (ATTACHMENT A) and asked providers to complete.

·        Attendees were invited to attend any and all other meetings on-going regarding the Local Business Plan process.

·        There was discussion regarding avoiding partiality while making referrals.  This will be handled through consumer choice, determining open or closed network, criteria for membership in the network, and use of provider profile.
