Chairman Gates asked about the contract and the applicant's receipt of a
windfall of money.
Commissioner Johnson asked about the information under the outreach
efforts and questioned all people being within Garfield and Pitkin Countyies.
Mr. Carter responded he had the same concerns. He has taken action
already. The state has input in this, but the desire is to get it approved
and then the names and numbers can be filled in.
Commissioner Johnson stated we should have a goal as to the number of
families we want to provide assistance to. The fact that it's voluntary
makes it difficult to require certain things the participants. There is a
pot of money and depending on the use, there mayor may not be enought money.
There are twelve families currently being served.
Chairman Gates asked what they do if there are numerous applicants.
Mr. Carter responded there are already a number of people on the waiting
list as well as in Garfield County. Mr. Carter reflected they are trying to
accorrmodate the wishes of the state.
Corrmissioner Johnson sees many of the requirements by the County and
other agencies, but does not see very much that is the responsibility of the
applicant. Should that not be incorporated in the document as well.
Mr. Carter responded the contract requirements will vary from person to
person and case to case.
Corrmissioner Phillips questioned the number of families.
Mr. Carter responded twelve is the cap at this time.
Corrmissioner Phillips suggested until they have the twelve families
being served, the Board does not know how many more they can or cannot serve.
Mr. Carter stated it depends on the funding and the demands of each
household.
Chairman Gates suggested they go ahead and approve this so that they can
get it in action.
Commissioner Phillips moved to approve and sign the action plan for the
Family Self Sufficiency Program.
Commissioner Johnson seconded the motion for discussion.
In discussion, Commissioner Johnson suggested there are some actual
blanks and some larger blanks. He understands that everyone will have a
contract but there must be some basic guidelines for the individual
applicants.
Commissioner Phillips stated she does not believe it to be anything
earth-shaking.
Mr. Carter stated the first committee meeting will be happening within
the next two weeks and suggested one of the Board attend.
