Report: Mike
reported activities at the Public Policy level with numerous bills being
addressed around insurance reform, and seclusion and restraint.
- E.D.
Report: Marcia
reported on the letter to exempt the Council from budget restrictions and
a conversation with Gayle Ziska Stack.
Gayle explained there is no exemption from furloughs, no trips to
DC or contact with legislators, and that the community forums and Davidson
Ceremony should be able to proceed as usual, all pending approval from
Karen Beye.
The lease is up Sept. 30 and we are looking at space on 16th
and Logan near downtown. The cost
per square foot may be close to what we pay now
($17.50); however, we are able to decrease the space by 500 feet.
It will take two months for the contract to go through and we are
allowing two months to do the build out necessary. Penny reported on the space she visited in the SW part of
town, but indicated that is was not appropriate for the council for a number
of reasons.
Pat
is leaving the staff on June 1, so there is a need to rehire.
The annual evaluations are due at the end of April, so the full Council
will send their evaluations to Corry as usual.
Maria
Cabral is not able to stay on the Council due to her receiving a grant for
Grupo Vida and being in a management position of that agency now.
4.
Planning and Grants: Todd
questioned whether the Legal Center could receive a grant if their E.D. is on
the Council, given the information about Group Vida. Corry indicated that there are many other Councils that share
dollars with sister agencies. Marcia
indicated that it applies to non-profits/family members in management
positions as per recent MTARS. Marcia
will get clarification from ADD and NACDD and report back on the issue.
Todd reported that there would be an additional $200K available to fund
projects under the current plan but not until Oct. 1 of this year.
Katie Grange will report for this committee to the full Council using
the parameters developed for funding grants to assist the discussion,
5.
Membership committee is looking for someone to replace
Maria as well as someone to replace Stephanie Lynch who initially thought she
had the time to serve. We are in
need of members who reflect an ethnic minority.
6.
Nomination committee:
Todd is looking for a slate for the E.C. to present to the Council in
May. Penny is no longer the past
president, however, Mike McCarty would be in that position. Both Betty
Henderson and Mike McCarty will have an additional term as per by-laws.
The committee reviewed the by-laws and requirements for the E.C.
committee. Todd will call for
volunteers at the March Council meeting.
- New
Business: Discussion
let to the suggestion of developing a Face Book page for the Council.
MCC had previously suggested this.
Katherine suggested that an intern from a communications dept.
could develop the page. Georgia Council has a page that could be used as a
prototype.

- Director’s
Report: Marcia
reported on the NIWS workgroup regarding sheltered workshops and will
forward her comments on the final recommendations to the full committee
since some members were not able to attend. The recommendations are not as positive as the Council
would support, but will go forward to DHS and HCPF without a minority
report.
- The
committee also discussed the recent non-approval by DHS of the dollars to
support the MCC follow up conference on January 7th.
Following discussion on the Governor’s directive regarding the
budget cuts and the interaction between potential interference in
implementing the Five Year Plan and the directive, the committee
recommended that Marcia call the Dept. to try one last negotiation.
Chris moved to send a letter to ADD and Faith McCormick to get
support for exemption from the cuts and furlough days, with a second from
Penny. Todd Coffey abstained
from the vote. A second
motion was made by Chris with second by Penny to call Mary McGhee and try
to renegotiate the Jan. event on behalf of the executive committee. Motion passed with abstention from Todd.
- Chairperson’s
Report: Mike held a discussion regarding membership and
dates for new members. The
membership committee will meet the same day as the next Council meeting,
Jan. 27th. The
location of our meetings was also raised with a need for approval to hold
meetings at Assistive Technology Partners at the cost of $200.
We cannot continue using the free venue of the police dept. because
the phone connection for those who call in does not relay information
clearly. ATP has the
technology to allow participation by phone.
Chris motioned to switch venues if possible in Jan.
Todd seconded the motion that passed.

made visits to a service agency and reported on the outcome of the visit.
There are a number of new specialized day habilitation programs
opening that are providing recreation and field trips for congregate
groups of people. People are
being grouped by SIS scores within the program.
There is some progress on the nursing home parity legislation for
next year. The DDD audit also
came out this week. Sandeep
Wadhwa has agreed to attend the Council retreat as a result of talking
after the audit meeting. Plans
for Davidson dinner are on schedule and awards have been selected.
- Grants/Fiscal:
Todd reported on the four grants currently in place.
Each grantee has been requested to reduce the dollar amount by 20%.
Planning and Grants is recommending four voting items to the full
Council as part of the agenda on the 22nd.
PEAK will make changes to the cuts, as most of those they prefer
are programmatic, and the committee prefers administrative cuts.
The committee is recommending that the MCC conference take a year
off in 2010. The other two
grants are recommended with their proposed cuts to be accepted by the
Planning and Grants committee, as they stand written.
Penny requested that the MCC have a full thirty minutes to address
concerns of the Planning and Grants committee. The response to the call
for papers are undergoing screening this week by the MCC for this year’s
fall conference on Oct. 9 and 10th.

Report: Mike
welcomed new members Betty Henderson and Ben Sutton to the committee.
Mike updated the committee on the new chair appointments for
committees including the following: Planning
and Grants: Bettey Henderson,
Public Policy: Mike
McCarty Multi-Cultural: Penny
Gonnella and Sue Fager
Fiscal: Chris Herron, Membership:
Eileen Forlenza. No
changes were made other than to the fiscal committee since Ben Sutton was
elected to the E.C. and moved from fiscal to E.C. Marcia will check to see
that all new members have chosen their committees within the month as well
as meet with new members individually.
Mike
also gave an update on the policy issues facing home health care with
budget cuts from HCPF. Nursing
homes are lobbying hard to take a flat cut across the Dept. which would be
unfair as there have been large cuts to home health in recent years, thus
a straight 2% cut is not actually equitable in HCBS programs. The
committee also discussed Home Care Allowance and other policy issues
related to living in the community
- Director/Fiscal:
Marcia updated the committee on the new Medicaid rule regarding
non-reimbursement for non-integrated work settings or NIWS.
The opening of a new service by To The Rescue has caused concern
for a segregated location and Marcia will meet with them with Arc/Co. also
in attendance. The names for
new members via E.O arrived this week with a minor misunderstanding on the
role of Mary Anne Harvey and the five reappointments not being included.
- Agenda
development: The committee developed the agenda for the
retreat in Oct. at the local police district station in NW Denver.
Penny recommended that we have a section on Facilitated Leadership
and review of those principles, interactive pieces as much as possible,
grantees report on their projects, have Rep. Frangas speak (Penny will
invite), the spider web activity introducing yourself and what you bring
to the Council (Betty), new members only the first half of the first day
of a two-day retreat (Todd), evening social possibility the night of the
first day off-site, and values-based videos could be shown followed by
discussion. It was noted that
the room does not have great opportunity for break out
sessions or small group interactions, based on the number in attendance.
- New
Business: none noted
- Old
Business: Penny gave an update on the MCC conference.
The call for presentations are due on July 8th.
Jose and Penny are doing a group facilitation for future activities
once ideas from the conference are implemented, the keynotes are Ian
Watlington and Norma Diaz, and there are fewer sessions this year compared
to last as well as a registration fee of $35.
Sat. is a day for family members and Friday is anticipated to
attract more professionals of the two-day conference.

members for committee wishes.

Report: Penny
gave an update on outcomes of the MCC committee meeting this week as well
as the April 18th event hosted by the committee/council.
Penny and Corry also reported on the meeting with Sharon Jacksi at
DDD and the need to get accurate employment numbers, to support direct
care staff via the College of Direct Support curriculum, and the get more
dialogue between disparate disability groups via a summit Corry has
coordinated with many other groups. The committee will formally propose
the summit idea at the Council meeting next week to get support for the
concept. Penny and Marcia met with the LINKS project re: the MOU and will
present a survey from the project at the full Council meeting regarding
board development.
- Director/Fiscal:
Marcia updated the committee on the new Medicaid rule regarding
non-reimbursement for non-integrated work settings or NIWS.
Names for new Council members should be before the Gov. on May 21st.
The lease for the Council is up in two years and with not filling
the policy position, there is not need for this much space and savings
could be had. The committee
will recruit members to search for new space at the full Council meeting.
The Council also has a need for a retreat to be scheduled for the
fall. Marcia also proposed a
short agreement through Dec. 30, 2009 for a public policy staff person.
The committee voted to recommend that $7500 be set toward this at
the full Council meeting. Marcia
will check with Sheryle Hutter to see if she is able to work on the
efforts between the session. Mackenzie
explained the budget issues relevant to the Planning and Grants committees
upcoming decisions.
- Agenda
development: The committee developed the agenda for the
meeting. LINKS survey, space
search committee, summit on collaboration and values clarification, voting
item on Policy person, Innovations section this meeting by Katherine
Carol, and announcement of the fall retreat as well as elections should
take place.

- MCC:
Penny gave an update on outcomes of the MCC conference in early

- DSA:
Penny also reported out on a separate meeting called by Irene
Aguilar and former staff of the E.C. that included a discussion on
changing the DSA. Current
staff was not present thus Penny will make notes from that meeting.
A vote to explore changing the DSA will be put to the full Council
based on the recommendation of the earlier E.C. meeting. Boards and Commissions will need a new letter as one of
the three current Council recommendations has changed her mind.
Becky Young will be replaced by Katie Granger to represent a parent
from a rural area. It was recommended that Stephanie Lynch represent IDEA
if the current representative, Ed Steinberg, is willing to have her
appointed in his place. Marcia will check with Ed to see what he wants
to do.
- Fiscal:
In addition, budget issues continued to be discussed from the
previous meeting as well. There is confusion on voting items at Planning and
Grants committee as well as not filling the Policy position and salary
savings incurred. There
should be $97K in salary savings to be put to other use, however, Planning
and Grants has been informed that there are no dollars to fund some of the
current grants if the FTE were to be filled.
The previous E.C. meeting was concerned about the lack of
understanding and transparency of the budget and grant dollars related to
salary savings. Marcia explained part of the issue being that we had
excess funds three years ago and put out an RFP for $500K.
Traditionally, the Council averages spending $250K on grants and
thus is not able to fully fund all of the initial grants.
There also needs to be an effort to put the grants on the same
cycle so that there is no favorable weight on grants that may need
consideration for renewal earlier than those funded at a later date.
This method would allow Planning and Grants to review all grants at
the same time and weigh them to outcomes and the Five Year Plan equally.
- Policy
Position: There
was some discussion about the filling of the Policy Position and who would
make the decision about staffing the Council.
Marcia explained that she wants to go through a legislative session
before determining whether to fill it or not.
Council and committee members can do the majority of the community
committee work. Staff will
support the legislative portion of the policy job; the new contract
position, as well as Council and committee members.
An inventory of the committee work is taking place at the full
Council meeting on the 19th to see if there area current gaps
and Pat will tally the outcomes.
Its members on these outside committees, if possible, should
represent the Council with staff as backup. This method of involving family members and people with
disabilities directly in policy making would be strongly supported by the
values in the D.D. Act. .

- Big
Seven grants were introduced for a decision at a later date.
There is a discussion on Planning and Grants committee that the
grants should logically be determined in that Committee. We will discuss this further at a later date.
The renewals for the grants traditionally have occurred in Jan.
- Bill
Box discussion: The committee had previously discussed using
Statebill.com as our electronic alternative to buying the annual paper
bill box for $450. Todd had
previously recommended a free alternative.
As further research and discussion occurred, Irene raised the idea
that if we really are to focus on just priorities in the Five Year Plan as
well as work on fewer bills in a proactive manner, then there is no need
for any of the alternatives. She
recommended that if there are people who want to follow all bills, they
attend the DEAL meeting before the PP meeting. The full committee following discussion accepted the
idea.
- Irene
raised the idea of a conflict of interest when we discuss issues before
sending out positions on policy. There
was a good discussion about the role of department personnel being used
for fact checking and expanding information base, yet if the viewpoint of
the personnel just does not agree with that of the Council, a conflict can
occur if they attempt to change the content of letters.
It was agreed that if other advocacy groups agreed with the Council
values, that letters would still express the values and position of the
Council. We will
continue to gather full information from department personnel before we
send out letters as well as give them an opportunity to comment before
they are copied on policy letters.
- New
Business: Marcia received a
letter from the Office of Civil Rights about the employment discrimination
complaint that we filed in 2002. The
office had no findings as the Dept. has made progress on the issue via
legislation and committees to follow the recommendations of the ad hoc
employment committee. On the
other hand, the employment rates are still decreasing at a fast pace, thus
a response will be created and sent to OCR.
There will not be a formal appeal as there have been good outcomes
from the complaint in and of itself.
There is no public data on employment rates as well as a greater
awareness of employment as an option in part as a result of the complaint.
- The
committee had a short discussion on the ballot initiatives.
The Council has yard signs if people want them for Amendment #51
which will raise sales taxes for funds to the waiting list in the state.
Individuals may sponsor parties with neighbors to build awareness
of the issue. Call Arc/Colorado if more information is needed on the
issue or you know of anyone with volunteer time.

1)
Minutes: The
minutes were approved as written with a motion by Sharisa and a second by
Todd.
2)
Council Agenda: will
need to include two voting items that are tradition for the July meeting.
The dates for the years’ Council meeting will be approved as well as
a discussion of the budget for potential approval. It has been recommended by
the E.C. that the budget be approved as proposed by the fiscal committee.
The Davidson Awards ceremony will follow the Council meeting at 5:30
with three awards this year. Chelsea
Warne will speak at the dinner this year.
There is no ‘entertainment’ per se allowed, thus we will have ample
time for a speaker as well as awards themselves.
3)
Chair report includes the fact that Bruce Cline is able to
represent the Council on the newly formed Autism Commission of which Corry was
part of development of the specific position of the Council.
Christy Hendrickson was unable to take the position, as she is working
toward tenure this year and unable to commit.
Mike McCarty is interested in representing the Council on the
definition committee out of DDD and Marcia will be the staff support for the
meetings. Corry will forward an
application for the position to Marcia and then on to Mike.
4)
Public Policy: Marcia recommended that the Council subscribe
to Statebill.com rather than use the paper based bill room to get legislative
information. The bill box gives
us all bills daily for $500 that Beverly picks up for the committee.
Senatebill.com allows getting the bills electronically, downloading
them on a laptop and being able to view them at the policy meetings with the
most recent changes. The cost for
non-profit is $650 and for us as a govt. entity, is $875.
The committee agreed to use the electronic version to bring us into an
electronic format, but Todd recommended researching
’Network of Care’ as a free subscription via some of the counties
that subscribe to it. We will
research it in the interim and at the next meeting determine which will best
meet our needs. A letter from
public policy to Sharon Jacksi was read and edited with minor changes to
create clarity around HB1243 and CDAS. Irene
Aguilar will call before sending the letter and the cc recipients will get the
letter after Ms. Jacksi.
5)
Planning and Grants: Todd reported out on the planning and
grants meeting and the discussion held on granting Good to Great as well as
generally how to get the best outcomes for Council dollars.
The committee is also working on site visit checklists that each member
can use for specific grants. The
committee had great discussion on the use of dollars.
