hoping that whatever type of evaluation is done, it will be. acceptable to the District Board and the four counties. Commissioner Bird considered it an excellent idea to have a committee to assist the State's review team because by having someone close to the investigative effort, we can see if the investigation is fair or not, and if it is vindictive or not. Commissioner Lyons did not really see a conflict in one Commissioner sitting on the Center Board and another Commissioner sitting on the special committee. In fact, he thought it would help the channel of information. Commissioner Wodtke stated there was not a clear delineation in his mind of the responsibilities in this particular issue of the District Board, the HRS and the Center Board. The normal operating procedures have been that the District HRS allocates matching funds back to the. District, which purchases services for the four counties. He felt that if there are problems with the type of services being delivered to the patients, that should be the District's prime concern. If there is a concern about the administrative or personnel policies, it should be the responsibility of the Center Board to adopt rules and policies in regard to personnel, i.e., grievance procedures, hiring practices, etc. Commissioner Lyons was interested in getting our money's worth and determining whether the service being received by our constituents is consistent with their needs. Commissioner Wodtke also recommended that the Chairman be authorized to write a letter to the District Board requesting them not to cut off the funding to the Center on March 31, 1984, but to wait until such time as this evaluation is done. Such a letter has been sent to the District by one or two other counties. 50 MAR 14 1984 Boca 56 Pact 443 I
