Mr. Silva reviewed with commissioners a PowerPoint presentation and information about the <br /> RFQ and the process. Commissioners were asked by staff to review the draft RFQ provided, <br /> comment and make recommendations. <br /> Commissioner Carlucci questioned whether the committee evaluating RFQ's received would <br /> be responsible for making a decision about distribution. Mr. Ingram advised that the process <br /> would be led by staff and the committee will help determine which organizations should be <br /> interviewed with distribution decisions made during the interview to determine if one or two <br /> submission are to be chosen. <br /> Commissioner Sedlak had questions about the size of the group that needs to be serviced by <br /> the providers and if the they have no idea of this how they can be expected to propose what <br /> they will be able to do. He also expressed concerns that funds would be used for supplies and <br /> not services. Mr. Ingram provided details on how information would be provided. <br /> Commissioner Clare noted that the initial concept for this was Behavioral Health, however in <br /> now looking at the big picture thinks it includes more health care than behavioral/mental health <br /> care. She wanted to be sure that this did not include other health care. Mr. Ingram stated the <br /> commission could state their preference in a motion and at a previous meeting had agreed that <br /> it should be Health Care and Behavioral Health. Commissioners agreed that "Health Care" <br /> should be removed from the RFQ. Commissioner Claire also discussed removing the <br /> reference to dental care in the RFQ, and the commission agreed due to recent funds provided <br /> for the new Tri-Valley dental clinic. <br /> Commissioners discussed allocation of funds through this process and the grant program and <br /> how agencies would be able to apply twice for funding. Mr. Ingram confirmed the process and <br /> reviewed with commissioners the timeline for the RFQ. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Clare, seconded by Commissioner Carlucci, <br /> recommending approval of the draft RFQ with the removal of references to dental and <br /> healthcare and the focus being only on mental health. <br /> ROLL CALL VOTE: <br /> AYES: Commissioners Carlucci, Clare, Gohill, Rubino Brumm, Sedlak and Chairperson <br /> Parikh. <br /> NOES: None <br /> ABSENT: Commissioners Hayes and Powers <br /> ABSTAIN: None <br /> Mr. Ingram noted Commissioner Hayes has indicated that she would like to be one of the two <br /> members of the commission participating on the selection committee.
