I. Welcome

Vince welcomed everyone to the meeting and thanked them for their dedication.

Vince introduced himself and asked everyone to go around the room and introduce themselves for the benefit of those who did not attend the last meeting.

Vince reviewed the list of tasks that was created as an attachment to the Minutes from meeting on August 19, 2202.

There was discussion about how to address providers who have ethical or licensure violations.

Will break out into a subcommittee to develop criteria for network membership.

Richard Varella will chair a Training/Technical Assistance/Education Subcommittee consisting of the following members: Karen Campbell, Debra Stevenson, Jacqueline Adams-Cook, Annette Norris, Alice Carter, and Leon Robinson.

Ron Butler would like to be removed from the Qualified Provider Network and be placed on the Planning and Collaboration Committee.

Mike Singletary asked to be placed on the Planning and Collaboration Subcommittee

Vince requested that members review the five-page grid to familiarize themselves with the information and bring with them any questions or comments they have regarding it’s contents. Will go through the contents of this grid in detail at the next meeting.

Since the plan has to go to the State in January, the sub-committee’s goal for completion of its portion of the plan is October 1, 2002.

Debbie informed members that providers will need to be reviewed quarterly and an update will need to be sent to the State as well as a report on referrals and who ended up seeing the client. This will demonstrate utilization rates.

There was some discussion surrounding how to best serve sexually aggressive youth.

The next meeting will be Tuesday, September 3, 2002; 3:00 p.m.
