no
Corrections
and
we
will
accept
the
minutes

confidently
written
by
talk.
Thank
you.
Okay.
Next
on
the
agenda
is
Lucy
and
you
have
been
like
roaringly
busy.
You
want
to
share
with
us
what
you've
been
up
to
and
what's
up
upcoming.
J
I
do
so
we're
at
a
funny
place
where
the
general
assembly
has
ended,
but
they
didn't
finish
their
budget,
so
they've
only
kind
of
ended.
So
now
they'll
have
to
go
back
again
to
pass
a
final
budget
that
matters
not
just
for
money
things
strictly,
but
sometimes
things
are
put
in
as
no
cost
budget
amendments,
meaning
it's
just
language
almost
like
a
law
is,
and
so
there's
lots
of
things
wrapped
up
in
those
budget
negotiations
that
are
still
flux.
J
In
terms
of
the
things
that
we
have
talked
about
here,
that
Medicaid
Works
budget
amendment
that
would
allow
people
who,
with
a
combination
of
like
retirement
income,
SSDI
from
parents
plus
their
work
income,
would
lose
their
waiver
bad
amendment
that
allows
them
to
enroll
in
Medicaid
works
and
keep
their
waiver
past
the
house
and
the
Senate
budget.
So
there's
every
reason
to
believe
they'll
survive
when
those
budgets
are
combined,
but
we
don't
have
it
in
black
and
white.
J
So
that's
in
both
budgets
in
terms
of,
what's
only
in
the
Senate
budget,
a
look
at
poor
services
that
was
offering
some
basic
services
to
people
on
priorities,
two
and
three
of
the
waiting
list,
as
in
the
Senate
budget,
only
in
terms
of
funding
Innovation
for
waiver
services
to
help
our
providers
develop
new
capacity
to
help
them
roll
out.
J
Both
the
house
and
the
Senate
budget
allowed
the
five
thousand
dollar
annual
caps
for
assistive
technology
like
portable
Tech,
iPads,
Etc
and
Electronic
home-based
Services
to
be
combined.
So
since
that's
in
both
budgets,
I
think
it
will
happen.
But
what
that
would
mean
is,
for
example,
if
someone
needed
eight
thousand
dollars
of
communication
equipment
in
one
year,
they
could
get
it
or
if
someone
needed
to
spend
nine
thousand
dollars
a
year,
they
were
first
moving
into
their
apartment
to
get
it
out
with
adaptive
technology.
J
They
could
do
that
as
opposed
to
doing
it
in
five
thousand
dollar
chunks.
They
would
have
a
much
bigger
budget
to
work
with
there,
which
is
a
big
deal,
both
the
house
and
the
senate
in
language,
not
in
the
budget
removed
handicap
from
Virginia
code.
So
that's
good.
Some
things
that
didn't
go
great
are
more
flexibility
with
virtual
access
to
boards
and
commissions
like
this
and
I.
Think
tonight's
issue,
with
the
Quorum,
speaks
to
one
of
those
tricky
concerns.
J
J
Of
course,
there
were
goodness
2,
000
or
so
bills
introduced
and
about
a
thousand
budget
amendments.
So
if
you
want
to
ask
about
anything
else,
I'm
happy
to
talk
about
it
to
the
best
of
my
ability,
but
there's
lots
of
stuff
moving
around
I
know
that
lots
of
families
had
applied
moving
on
kind
of
to
that
individual
and
Family
Support
Program
funding
that
Grant
style
program
for
people
who
are
on
the
waiting
list.
J
So
they
should
be
hearing
fairly
soon
and
thanks
hugely
to
a
lot
of
Arlington
residents
who
applied
to
be
on
that
Statewide
work
group
looking
at
waiver
issues
and
giving
feedback
back
on
how
the
waiver
is
and
is
not
working.
So
I
was
just
going
to
give
a
thank
you
to
those
folks
and
invite
them
to
give
updates.
As
that
group
starts
to
meet,
and
then,
as
a
last
quick
reminder,
we
have
lots
of
workshops
always
going
on,
but
one
that
we
have
never
offered
before.
J
We
are
offering
in
April
which
on
is
on
federal
benefits
navigation.
So
just
like
we
talked
about.
If
you
have
a
parent
who
worked
for
the
federal
government
or
the
person
with
a
disability
works
for
the
federal
government
and
we're
trying
to
figure
out.
How
does
that
federal,
Blue,
Cross,
Blue,
Shield
and
federal
retirement
benefits
and
all
those
kinds
of
things
impact
that
person
with
a
disability
some
attorneys
are
presenting
on
that
in
April
and
I'm
really
excited
about
it?
J
Also
in
April
we're
doing
our
next
disability
and
Justice
kind
of
safety
day
in
Arlington
and
I
just
was
able
to
send
out
to
folks
information
about
that
this
morning
and
huge
thanks
to
the
DHS
team
for
getting
that
circulating
quickly,
but
whereas,
before
we
did
outside
traffic
traffic
stops
and
added
in
Fire
and
Rescue
this
time
there
is
a
massive
indoor
component
where
you
can
get
naloxone
training,
you
can
do
CPR
test
training
on
CPR
dummies.
J
That
will
tell
you
whether
or
not
you're
pushing
hard
enough
and
there'll
be
people
teaching
you
how
to
do
it.
You
can
learn
about
project
Lifesaver.
You
can
sign
up
to
do
our
check
for
Independent
Living
free
safety.
Apps.
You
can
get
a
free,
DD
identification
card
that
tells
officers
things
how
to
know
about
you.
You
can
talk
with
the
sheriff's
office
about
what
to
know
I
mean
it's
like
it's
going
to
be
very,
very,
very
big
in
terms
of
people
presenting
so
I
hope.
J
It's
very
big
in
terms
of
people
attending
so
certainly,
please
feel
free
to
share
and
just
as
appropriate
for,
like
the
Aging
Community,
the
Mental,
Health
Community,
not
limited
in
any
way
and
I
would
say
not
even
limited
to
arlingtonian.
Since
we
all
know
plenty
of
people
who
live
outside
the
borders
of
our
great
County,
who
may
benefit
to
so
feel
free
to
spread
far
and
wide
and
of
course,
free
and
then
we
just
have
our
usual
Tech
and
supported.
J
Excuse
me,
Special
Needs,
Trust
workshops
coming
up
too
for
people
who
just
need
to
know
the
basics,
and
if
there
are
any
questions,
I'm
happy
to
take
them.
B
Just
a
comment,
but
me
and
Catherine
Montgomery,
are
on
the
that
dbhds
DD
redesign
and
we've
met
I.
Think
in
February
Donna.
D
D
That's
a
great
meeting,
Sherry
I
will
just
say:
I
mean
we
were
really
I.
Think
like
that
I
was
in
people
with
just
a
great
discussion
and
it
was
very
well
run,
and
people
were
sharing
ideas
that
maybe
other
people
hadn't
heard
I
think
it
was
a
really
really
productive
bit
of
Outreach.
So
thank
you.
We
felt
heard
yes,
absolutely.
B
Anybody
else
have
any
questions
for
Lucy,
okay.
Well
then,
we're
going
on
to
the
budget
show
who
is
presenting
on
that
I.
Wonder.
K
Sherry,
thank
you
for
your
kind
words.
The
budget
show
I,
think
I.
Do
a
lot
of
these
and
I
think
that's
the
first
time
I've
ever
heard,
or
it
referred
to
as
the
budget
show,
so
maybe
how
to
take
it
on
the
road
again.
My
name
is
Jim
Baker
I
am
the
administrative
officer
for
Aging
and
Disability
Services
here
in
DHS,
I'm
really
happy
to
be
here
tonight.
K
So
thank
you
for
for
carving
out
some
time,
I'm
gonna
ask
that
you
save
your
questions
until
the
end
and
let
me
get
through
the
the
presentation
first
and
then
I
will
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have
Okay.
So.
K
Right,
wonderful,
all
right!
So
again,
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
present
to
the
DD
committee
tonight
I'm
going
to
talk
about
the
county
managers
fy24
proposed
budget.
So
with
that,
let's
kick
it
off.
K
K
K
You
may
recall
that
it
was
about
this
time
last
year
that
we
were
just
breaking
ground
on
the
Demolition
and
we
now
have
an
expected
completion
date
of
I
believe
it's
April,
sixth
or
seventh
in
early
early
April,
and
then
we'll
continue
to
continue
our
efforts
to
to
put
residents
Place
residents
in
in
the
group
home
and
put
the
finishing
touches
on
all
the
decorating
and
the
furniture
and
and
all
the
all
the
remaining
fun
stuff
that
that's
left
to
do
over
the
coming
weeks.
B
K
No,
that's
not
what
I'm
saying
at
all.
Okay,
the
construction
of
the
home
will.
K
K
K
K
K
So
that's
something
that
I
personally
am
very
interested
in,
because
I
I've
been
trying
to
lead
more
of
a
local
effort
in
the
way
we
procure
Services
and
so
I'm
excited
to
get
the
feedback.
You
know
from
from
that
study
and
find
out
what
what
additional
guidance
might
be
out
there.
G
K
No
problem
so
on
the
affordable,
housing
and
eviction
prevention
front.
This
continues
to
be
a
major
issue
in
FY
23
and
into
fy24.
K
You
know:
there's
been
significant.
Investment
in
housing
grants
permit
support
of
Housing
and
ahif.
K
A
lot
of
there's
been
a
significant
amount
of
resources
that
are
invested
in
those
programs,
and
there
will
continue
to
be
in
fy24,
there'll,
be
a
lot
more
content
and
a
lot
more
of
story
behind
those
three
programs
in
Anita's
presentation
to
in
the
work
session
on
Thursday.
So
I
would
really
encourage
you,
as
csb
members,
to
join
and
and
hear
what
she
has
to
say,
but
it
does
be,
it
has
become.
K
K
All
right,
just
some
some
quick
Department
of
Human
Services
overview.
K
Our
Personnel
is
currently
at
99
million.
Non-Personnel
comes
in
at
83.
It's
almost
84
million.
We've
got
our
inter-county
charges.
Those
are
charges
that
we
charge
within
the
department
for
work
being
done.
K
Total
expenses
come
in
at
180,
just
a
little
over
183
million,
and
we
currently
have
788
ftes.
Overall.
K
This
is
a
six
percent
expense
increase
over
FY
23
in
the
revenue
Arena.
We
have
our
largest
revenue
sources.
Of
course,
the
state
funds
coming
in
overall
at
26.8
million
Federal
close
second
at
17.3
and
then
the
third
largest
area
we
Revenue
stream.
We
have
is
the
collection
of
fees
for
service
at
5.2
million.
K
This
is
a
four
percent
Revenue
increase
from
the
FY
23
adopted
budget
total
revenues
coming
in
at
50.7
million
for
the
Department
fun
trivia
fact,
DHS
is
12
of
the
total
general
fund
budget,
making
us
the
largest
general
fund
Department
in
the
county,
we
I
believe
have
maybe
one
one
full
percent
more
than
Des,
so
the
Department
of
Human
Services
is
is
the
largest
general
fund
Department
in
the
county.
K
Drilling
down
a
little
bit
more
with
regard
to
the
Aging
and
Disability
Services
Division,
our
proposed
budget
for
FY
24
comes
in
at
almost
28
million
dollars
with
for
post
Revenue
budget
of
7.3
million.
We
now
have
90.25
ftes
and
speaking
of
ftes,
we
were
able
to
utilize
some
existing
resources
within
the
division
and
developmental
services
and
create
an
additional
FTE
for
fy24.
K
Again,
that's
with
existing
resources.
This
was
not
a
new
FTE
that
we
we
got
from
from
the
county
manager.
We
used
existing
County
funding
to
create
this
FTE.
K
Additionally,
we
added
five
new
ftes
in
the
RAF
program
for
the
dementia
Services
Grant
total
funding
for
the
RAF
Pro
or
the
I'm.
Sorry,
the
dementia
Services
Grant
is
about
870
000
total
for
that
Grant
and
they
ramped
up
operations
in
late
October
and
have
already
made
some
impressive
strides
in
terms
of
Outreach
and
Education
and
Training
all
over
Northern
Virginia.
K
K
On
the
fourth
floor,
we
also
received
an
additional
four
hundred
and
twelve
thousand
dollars
for
developmental
Services
residential
services
to
match
the
dmas
rate
increases
that
occurred
this
last
year,
so
that
money
will
go
towards
funding
the
services
of
locally
funded
individuals,
so
non-waiver,
who
are
living
in
any
of
the
the
County
I'm.
Sorry
any
of
the
group
homes
that
we
have
agreements
with,
and
then.
Lastly,
we
have
an
additional
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
the
operational
costs
of
the
new
group
home
at
1212,
Irving
Street.
K
Just
taking
a
peek
across
the
division
you
can
see
here,
developmental
Services
is
the
largest
budget
program
coming
in
at
10.7
million.
Second,
is
senior
adult
mental
health,
which
is
mostly
driven
by
the
Mary
Marshall
agreement.
That's
where
the
the
budget's
house
is
the
senior
adult
mental
health,
and
then
you
see
nursing
case
management
comes
in
at
third,
with
the
Community
Living
Program
as
one
of
the
primary
drivers
for
that
offering
the
Home
Health
Services
to
our
clients.
K
All
right
taking
a
closer
look
at
developmental
disability
services,
so
Jim.
B
Can
you
back
up
on
that
on
the
previous
slide,
please
this.
B
You
had
the
last
thing
that
you
talked
about
was
some
sort
of
services
provided
in
home.
What
was
that
called?
Oh.
K
I
believe
it's
mostly
to
seniors
I'm,
not
aware
of
if
developmental
disability
or
intellectual
disability
clients
are
receiving
Services
through
CLP.
That's
something
we
would
have
to
look
into.
K
Okay,
focusing
in
on
developmental
disability
services,
so
you
can
see
here,
we've
had
study
increases
across
FY,
23
and
20,
well,
the
actuals
for
22
and
then
into
23
and
24
on
the
Personnel
side,
we're
seeing
a
6.6
percent
increase.
That
is
due
to
this
significant
investment
from
the
county
manager's
office
and
their
directive
from
the
board
to
provide
salary
increases
to
staff,
as
well
as
the
increases
for
some
County
benefits
like
such
as
health
insurance.
I.
Think
that
the.
K
K
Welcome
so
again
the
the
Personnel
increases
are
our
are
powered
by
the
the
county
managers,
investment
in
employee
compensation
for
raises-
and
there
are
also
some
some
increases
in
in
benefit
amounts
for
health
insurance
and
such
that's
mainly
we're
seeing
the
6.6
percent
increase
on
the
non-personnel
side.
K
As
I
said
previously,
we've
got
the
conversion
of
the
FTE
or
I'm.
Sorry.
On
the
non-personnel
side,
we
have
the
contractual
increases
and
then
the
addition
of
the
125
000
for
employment,
Readiness,
the
412
000
for
residential
services
for
the
dmat
dmas
rate
match
and
then
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
the
additional
operational
costs
at
1212,
overbeek
Street.
When
we
do
get
that
that
vendor
hired
or
solicited
and
and
onboard
it
developmental
Services
is
82.6
percent
net
tax
board.
K
So
there's
a
significant
amount
of
local
money
that
goes
into
the
operation
of
DS
and
current
FTE
count
is
24.5
with
the
new
FTE.
K
Here's
just
a
breakdown
by
program
within
and
again.
This
is
only
developmental
Services
here
so
from
the
admin
and
case
management
perspective,
the
Bell
metal
surface
dispense,
3.1
million
transportation
is
coming
in
at
741,
000,
Residential
Services,
just
over
3
million
and
then
vocational
and
habilitation,
which
is
your
day
program.
Your
employment
programs,
total
budget
for
FY
24
is
three
point:
almost
3.9
million
dollars.
K
Revenues,
as
you
can
see,
vocational
and
residential
are
funded.
The
revenue
that
they
do
get
is
funded
mostly
from
the
state
csb
funds
received
from
the
state
performance
contract
and
then
for
the
admin
and
case
management
unit.
K
K
All
right,
I
just
wanted
to
remind
you
of
some
upcoming
events
again
I
mentioned
earlier.
That
Thursday
is
from
three
to
six:
is
the
Department
of
Human
Services
and
Community
planning
and
housing
departments
joint
work
session
with
the
County
Board?
They
will
also
go
over
the
housing,
affordable,
housing
presentation
at
that
work
session
you
can
catch.
It
live
stream
on
the
website
or
YouTube.
K
Again,
it's
from
three
to
six
I
would
highly
highly
encourage
you
all
to
to
join
in
and
hear
what
Anita
and
our
great
folks
have
to
say.
March
28th
is
the
public
budget.
Hearing
and
March
30th
is
the
public
tax
rate
hearing
one
other
reminder
on
that
essay.
If
you
want
to
speak
at
either
one
of
those
events
you
do
need
to
sign
up
ahead
of
time.
K
You
can
find
that
information
by
by
following
the
link
that
I'm
going
to
provide
in
this
presentation
on
the
it's,
a
small
form,
quick
form
to
fill
out,
and
you
can
get
yourself
on
the
on
the
docket
to
speak
and
then,
of
course,
April
22nd
County
Board
adopts
the
fy24
budget,
it'll
be
a
a
Wonder
stay
sort
of.
K
B
K
No
other
way
around
the
the
operation
of
1212,
an
additional
200
000,
is
being
awarded
for
the
employment
Readiness
program.
It's
a
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand
dollars,
but
that's
being
added
to
existing
resources.
Okay,.
B
Those
those
are
the
additions
okay
and
then
of
the
250
000
that
was
added
to
the
budget
last
year
by
the
County
Board
to
fund
the
day
and
employment
services.
B
K
We
are,
we
are
sinking
it
into
the
any
of
the
renovation
and
design
costs
for
the
employment
Readiness
program
that
will
be
here
on
the
fourth
floor.
So
all
that
money
is
being
utilized
and
put
forth
towards
that
that
those
expenses.
K
The
build
out
for
any
design
for
any
of
the
you
know
the
operating
supplies
that
need
to
buy
that
we
need
to
buy
in
advance,
it's
all
being
utilized
on
that
front.
I
I,
don't
foresee
anything
being
left
over.
Okay.
B
That's
wonderful,
and
so
so
that
went
into
investing
into
the
into
the
new
program
and
the
and
the
building
and
everything,
and
then
the
125
000
is
to
actually
provide
the
services
to
people
that
are.
Are
the
15
new
people
being
served
by
the
program?
Is
that
right,
correct.
K
K
So
we
have
a
number
of
folks
who
well
let
me
give
you,
let
me
give
you
an
example.
You
know
there's
as
you're
aware
there
are
a
number
of
folks
who
are
housed
in
group
homes
that
are
outside
of
Arlington
right,
so
they're,
not
all
Arlington
residents
who
are
in
that
group
home
so
because
we
only
may
have
one
or
two
people
in
a
group
home
that
has
several
in
it.
We
are
paying
for
the
Supportive
Services
for
those
folks
in
that
home.
K
What
we
have
typically
done
is
we
have
well
what
we
do
is
we
model
the
reimbursement
rate
for
those
Services
after
what
dmas
was
reimbursing
for
folks
and
this
last
year,
when
D
Mass
had
their
increase,
we
discovered
that
we
needed
to
request
additional
funds
in
order
to
keep
up
with
that
reimbursement.
K
Yeah
we're
we're
gonna,
be
pretty
pretty
tight
on
the
residential
services
side.
I
I
I
would
foresee
this.
We've
got
some
departmental-wide
savings
that
we
can
cover,
but
we're
probably
going
to
be
pretty
close
to
over
or
if
not
net,
on
the
residential
services
side.
Just
because
of
those
increases.
B
That's
Gareth
Carol
Skelly.
She
had
gotten
permission
that
you've
complete
this
spreadsheet,
that
she's
kept
over
the
course
of
several
years,
so
she
can
track
the
Ebbs
and
flows
of
funding
and
spending.
So
she's
kept
this
since
2012..
B
B
I
would
greatly
appreciate
that
and
then
also
to
let
folks
know
that
Carol
has
been
helping
me
understand
the
budget
and
the
historical
and
how
to
analyze
things
and
it's
quite
a
bit
and
and
I'm
just
let
the
record
reflect
that.
Sherry
really
appreciates
the
work
that
Carol
has
done
in
tracking
the
budget
and
advocating
for
services
for
folks
with
disabilities.
B
B
K
I
think
what
would
be
best
Sherry
is
if
you
could
provide
the
exact
measure
that
you're
referring
to
to
the
voice,
and
then
we
could.
We
can
prepare
an
appropriate
response.
Okay,.
B
So
so
any
questions
that
we
have
about
the
budget
and
again
it's
important
for
us
to
understand
what's
in
the
budget,
what's
behind
the
budget
in
order
for
us
to
be
responsible
in
our
advisory
capacity,
so
I
would
appreciate
that.
Thank
you
sure.
Are
there
any
other
questions.
B
Thank
you
Jim.
We
really
appreciate
your
detailed
understanding
Just
for
future
presentations.
One
of
the
things
that
I'm
trying
to
do
is
make
sure
that
people
who
haven't
been
doing
its
work
and
including
myself
for
many
many
years
and
there's
a
lot
of
acronyms
for
the
next
time.
You
did
the
presentation.
Can
you
please
spell
out
all
those
acronyms
for
us
sure.
K
Just
just
for
your
own
information
that
this
was
an
issue
of
space,
I
couldn't
spell
out
all
of
the
program
names
like
within
the
tables.
That's
why
they're
acronyms.
K
B
K
Tell
you
what
I'll
do,
though
Sherry
when
I,
when
I,
send
the
the
presentation
I
I
can
I
can
add.
I
can
put
something
together,
real
quick,
so
that
you
can
you
you
guys
can
do
the
the
crosswalk.
How
does
that
sound?
That.
B
I
want
to
back
up
a
little
clear,
okay,
I
want
to
back
up.
Thank
you
James,
any
any
more
questions
I'd
like
to
back
up
and
ask
John
dulchar,
Laurel
and
book
and
kalea
I,
can't
remember
your
last
name
entered
since
we
started.
Can
you
please
turn
off
your
mic
and
introduce
yourself
if
you
were
not
introduced
at
the
beginning
of
this
meeting.
B
L
This
is
Liz
I'm,
so
sorry,
I
wasn't
able
to
unmute,
because
the
browser
was
blocking
video
and
microphone,
but
I'm
here
I'm,
a
parent
and
I'm
interested
in
all
the
discussions
going
on.
Thank
you.
Liz.
B
Thank
you
for
sneaking
in
there.
We
appreciate
it.
Okay,
next
on
the
agenda,
we
have
The
Voice,
presenting
on
what's
going
on
with
the
graduates,
so
you
can
enjoy
here.
Here's
your
chance
to
learn.
What's
going
on
on
the
CSD
side,
certainly.
A
A
Okay,
so
for
FY
23
the
current
year
that
we
are
in,
we
have
a
total
of
24
students
that
we
are
currently
engaged
in
transition
planning
for
and
by
that
we
are
working
very
closely
with
the
Arlington
Public
School
transition
coordinators
and
we
meet
with
them
once
a
month
and
we've
been
doing
so
since
since
September
of
last
year,
and
we
discussed
the
various
interests
of
the
individuals
and
their
parents
and
that
all
gets
represented
at
the
transition
meeting.
Where
we
just
discuss.
A
A
Six
have
expressed
interest
in
employment
and
of
those
six
most
of
them
are
not
all
of
them
actually
I
believe
are
working
currently
working
in
employment
in
an
independent,
supported
employment
with
little
or
no
support,
and
then
we
have
three
that
are
exploring
self-directed
services
going
back
to
the
15
that
are
day
support
of
that
number.
H
A
Current
year
graduates
also
of
that
number,
we
have
12
of
them
that
are
on
the
waiver,
wait
list.
A
We
have
six
of
them
that
have
waivers,
and
we
have
five
of
them
that
are
not
eligible
for
the
waitlist
meeting
that
they
did
not
meet
on
the
buys,
but
they
are
otherwise
individuals
that
it
has
been
determined
to
have
a
developmental
disability
according
to
the
code
of
Virginia,
and
we
have
one
that
is
in
assessment
and
evaluation.
That
was
just
recently
referred,
but
we
are
concurrently,
nonetheless,
planning
for
that
student
in
anticipation
of
them
being
found
to
make
criteria
for
services,
and
that
is
what
I
have.
B
F
You
little
boys
at
the
last
meeting.
The
question
was
answered
that
transition
Services
must
begin
at
age
14.
Can
you
tell
us
the
age
breakdown
of
these
24
are.
A
These
these
are
all
so
the
transition
at
age
14.
That
is
an
APS.
That
is
something
under
idea
that
is
not
applicable
to
Adult
Services.
So
these
are
all
individuals
from
the
current
year.
However,
that
does
remind
me
that
of
that
24
6r
what
are
considered
recovery
students-
and
so
you
may
recall,
for
the
past
two
years,
not
the
current
year.
A
The
Virginia
Department
of
Education
offered
a
recovery
year
for
students
that
were
impacted
by
covid
with
the
closure,
and
so
these
six
students
would
have
otherwise
aged
out
last
year
of
June
of
2022,
they
opted
to
remain
in
the
school
system,
so
the
14
starting
transition
at
14
is
not
something
that
is
applicable
to
our
services,
that
is
specific
to
Arlington,
Public,
Schools
and
needing
to
start
having
those
conversations
as
part
of
the
annual
IEP
meeting.
A
G
H
Joseph
Albert
hi,
the
voice,
I
I,
was
wondering
what
and
may
be
incorrect
here,
but
out
of
these
has
any
of
the
what
options
or
discussions
are
Housing
Services
ever
discussed
or
talked
about
during
these
with
these
services.
For
these
individuals.
A
For
the
transition
planning,
we're
largely
looking
at
students
transitioning
from
the
the
school
system
to
Adult
Services,
not
necessarily
where
their
residential
services
are
and
and
part
of
that
is
because
the
vast
majority
I
mean
in
this
instance
all
but
one
of
them
they
say,
there's
they're
remaining,
so
there's
no
change
with
their
transition.
A
Actually,
that's
not
accurate
about
three
of
them.
Two
of
them
are
moving
into
independent
housing.
One
of
them
is
looking
at
moving
into
a
group
home,
but
that's
not
a
so
I'm
aware
that
those
conversations
are
happening
but
they're,
not
a
part
of
the
transition
discussions
that
we're
having
monthly
with
Arlington
Public
Schools.
So
those
are
separate
conversations
that
do
occur
with
the
other
annual
treatment
planning
for
those
individuals.
Okay,.
H
So
those
occur
outside
of,
but
there
is,
there
is
trenches
that
occur
either
way.
Definitely,
but
they
correct.
Okay.
Next.
A
B
A
B
I'm
talking
about
the
caselo
I'm
talking
about
the
the
jump
in
about
40
overall
total
number
of
individuals
served
and
31
adults
served
in
active
or
enhanced
support.
So.
A
Yeah
I
would
have
to
look
at
that
data,
so
I
would
go
back
to
Jim's
response
to
the
other
question.
If
you
have
a
question
specific
to
what's
in
that
budget
book,
it
would
be
helpful
to
put
that
in
a
separate
question
that
you
could
submit
for
us
to
look
into
that,
because
I,
don't
I
don't
I
have
I
would
have
to
look
at
the
data
for
that
to
respond
to
what
you're.
Looking
at
what
you're,
referring
to.
O
I'm
still
here,
I
was
wondering
if
so,
if
what
the
numbers
that
you
are
just
referring
to
I
wonder
if
it's
higher,
because
there
were
some
students
who
are
receiving
those
extra
year,
do
you
think
the
voice
that
has
anything
to
do
with
that.
B
Okay,
Joy,
because
because
the
voice
knows
how
many
people
are
coming
from
the
high
school
and
she
told
us
that
six
of
them
were
the
were
the
ones
that
got
the
extra
year
so
I'm
just
going
to
ask
a
question
to
how
does
this
add
up
to
31?
You
know:
what's
the
difference,
so
thank
you
Joy
for
that.
But
do
you
have
anything
else
you
want
to
add
about
the
transition
planning.
I
know
that
you
folks
are
working
very
intently
on
the
transition.
Yes,.
O
So,
like
Lavoy
said
we
do
meet
with
with
them
once
a
month
for
all
of
our
students
who
are
exiting,
but
also
you
know,
we
have
another.
You
know
our
larger
caseload
of
students
who
aren't
yet
exiting,
but
we're
still,
you
know
communicating
and
and
trying
to
help
those
the
parents
and
the
individuals.
You
know
identify
what
the
vision
is
like.
What
the
end
goal
is,
whether
they're
thinking
day
supports
or
supported
employment.
O
You
know
every
year,
APS
has
a
transition
fare
and
you
know
we
invite
all
the
parents,
and
so
at
the
transition
Fair.
We
always
try
to
make
sure
we
have
lots
of
like
service.
Source
will
be
there
Mel.
Would
you
know
lots
of
different
agencies
come
so
we
just
try
to.
You
know,
make
sure
that
we
have
opportunities
for
families
to
kind
of
explore
what
all
the
options
are
for.
Transitioning.
N
N
F
Helpful
for
the
boys
to
clarify
that
housing
is
not
part
of
transition
planning
for
her
team.
Could
we
maybe
get
a
breakdown
between
APS
and
and
DB
dbh
in
terms
of
what
aspects
of
transitioning
they
lead
or
that
they're
responsible
for
including
education,
employment,
housing
and
the
others
that
were
mentioned?
That
were
already
mentioned?
No
one
has
mentioned
employment.
No
one
has
mentioned
education,
you
know
not
to
mentioned
housing.
It
would
be
great
to
know
how
they
are
allocated
between
those
two
ways.
A
And
if
I
can
clarify
transition
planning
for
residential
services
is
definitely
something
that
our
team,
our
support
coordinators,
have
conversations
with
individuals
about.
It
is
just
not
a
part
of
the
monthly
transition
planning
that
we
do
across
from
Arlington
Public,
Schools
and
Adult
Services,
because
we're
specifically
looking
at
what
is
the
student
going
to
do
in
terms
of
day
support
employment
their
meaningful
day.
So
that's
the
purpose
of
that.
There.
N
A
Other
conversations
that
happen
within
developmental
Services
about
an
array
of
other
types
of
transition-
they
just
don't
occur
in
the
course
of
those
monthly
meetings.
That's.
A
A
B
B
Okay,
okay
and
my
voice
in
previous
years.
You've
had
folks
interested
in
going
to
post-secondary
like
Nova
or
something
do
you
have
any?
Is
anyone
expressed
interest
this
year?
No,
not
this
year.
C
Can
I
ask
of
course,
in
looking
at
this?
The
numbers
you
just
gave
it
that's
24
students,
15
of
them,
have
already
said
they
want
to
go
to
day
support.
How
would
you
characterize
those
students?
Are
they
because
you've
there's
been
so
much
discussion
about
presenting
employment?
First
then,
right
away
that
number
15
out
of
24
has
already
said.
We
don't
want
employment.
We
want
day
support.
Is
that
the
parents
choice
or
is
it
the
cape,
the
type
of
students
you're
dealing
with?
Are
they
people
for
whom
supported
employment
or
other.
A
D
A
Always
the
individual
or
the
legal
guardian's
Choice,
it's
never
our
choice.
What
we
are
shifting
you
know,
as
we
talked
about
previously,
is
just
leading
the
conversation
starting
with
employment,
and
it
doesn't
mean
that
we
don't
discuss
other
options.
A
Or
they're
telling
us
what
their
choice
is,
and
some
of
them
at
least
of
that
15,
nine
of
them,
if
you
recall,
are
looking
and
interested
in
employment,
Readiness,
so
they're
not
saying
they're,
not
interested
in
they
support,
they
are
interested
and
the
team
concurs-
and
this
is
part
of
some
of
our
conversations
in
the
transition
meetings
as
well.
A
They
have
barriers
that
prevent
them
at
this
time
from
being
able
to
shift
into
employment
on
day
one
from
the
transition
from
Arlington
Public
Schools
to
Adult,
Services,
so
I
think
that's
pretty
significant,
that
of
that
15.
Nine
of
those
individuals
and
legal
Guardians
are
saying
we
are
interested
in
employment
just
not
at
this
time,
and
we
have
fun
in
Readiness
program
presents
an
opportunity
to
get
ready
for
it.
That's
interesting,
so
there
is
a
significant
shift
of
the
24
that
are
geared
towards
employment
and
several
of
them
through
the
appointment,
Readiness
program.
Okay,.
P
Yes,
thank
you.
Lavois
Reed
actually
just
made
the
point
that
I
was
going
to
make
as
a
parent
of
a
transitioning
senior
that
it's
you
know
his
parents
choice,
but
my
choice
is
informed
by
my
son's
Readiness
I
believe
at
some
point
he
will
be
ready
for
employment,
but
he's
not
now
so
I
think
there
are
limitations
to
what
the
day
supports
seem
to
offer.
P
There's
a
there's,
a
gap.
You
know
if
you're,
not
ready
for
employment,
when
you
are
ready
to
transition
based
on
age,
that
you're,
showing
development
unemployment,
potential
I
really
applaud.
Arlington
County
for
developing
a
program,
that's
going
to
continue
to
build
employable
skills
and
hopefully
position
my
son
to
engage
in
support
of
employment,
which
I
would
that
would
be
my
choice
for
him.
Q
The
the
pilot
program
will
have
15,
total
of
which
already
nine
are
coming
from
this
year's
graduating
school
students,
if
you
already
have
the
other
six
spaces
filled,
and
the
second
question
is
for
next
year,
when
we
have
graduating
students
a
year
from
now
how
to
make
sure
there's
enough
space
for
them.
For
that
right.
A
That's
a
very
good
question
for
one:
it's,
it's
not
a
pilot
program.
It
is
an
adopted
program,
so.
A
So
yeah
just
being
a
pilot
program
and
we
would
be
at
capacity,
but
the
idea,
if
you
recall,
is
also
for
individuals
to
transition
out
of
the
program,
so
the
employment
Readiness
program
is
not
designed
to
have
students
remaining
in
this
program
for
several
years.
The
idea
is
to
look
at
barriers
and
obstacles
to
an
employment.
A
It
will
be
very
person-centered
in
terms
of
working
on
outcomes
for
a
particular
student
or
individual
in
in
hopes
of
transitioning
them
to
group
supported
employment,
individual
supported
employment,
and
that
will
take
longer
for
some
students
than
for
other
students.
We
also
are
looking
at
four
of
those
spaces
being
designated
for
individuals
that
are
currently
in
a
day
program,
but
that
have
expressed
an
interest
to
employment
and
for
which
there
might
be
some
barriers.
A
So
we
do
hope
and
and
I
can't
put
numbers
on
it
that
come
this
time
next
year,
that
we
will
have
individuals
that
are
ready
to
transition
out
of
that
to
say,
group
supported
employment
or
even
individual,
supported
employment
and
it'll
be
staggering
so
that
we
will,
year
to
year,
have
have
individuals
that
are
moving
and
shifting.
A
Out
of
this
program
and
being
able
to
support
new
people
coming
into
the
program,
but
we
will
probably
never
have
a
time
where
we'll
be
able,
because
you
know
now
the
program
is
opening,
so
we
have
15
vacant
slots.
We
probably
will
never
have
the
opportunity
to
have
15
open
slots
in
this
particular
program
again,
but.
M
H
Actually
Lucia
Lucia
actually
asked
my
question
so
I
appreciate
that.
Thank
you
except.
B
The
Voice.
You
also
explained
to
me
that,
just
like
the
whatever
the
day,
employment
support
was
talking
about
hybrid,
and
you
were
talking
to
me
about
how
there
may
be
15
slots,
but
some
people
may
be
working
and
if
we
can
work
out
how
to
make
all
that
work,
it's
a
slot,
not
a
person,
so
some
people
may
be
there
on
Tuesdays
and
Thursdays,
and
some
may
be
there
on
Monday
Wednesday
Friday.
So
if
they
can
make
that
work,
then
the
person
capacity
may
be
larger
than
the
program
slot.
A
Capacity,
that's
that's
a
good
point
and
we're
trying
to
really
look
at
shifting
that
across
all
of
our
programs
and
and
also
to
get
more
flexibility,
especially
for
people
that
are
interested
in.
You
know,
day
support
you
know
and
employment.
Some
combination
of
that
as
well
so
I'm
trying
to
also
take
that
shift,
but
really
also
preserving
day
support
for
people
that
really
need
that
level
of
skill
development
towards
you
know
areas
such
as
socialization,
for
example,
so
that
we
don't
have
people
in
day.
B
Do
you
have
any
comments
about
this
and
then
we'll
ask
for
a
little
bit
more
for
next
month's,
listen
and
learn,
but
just
any
feedback
or
support
or
comments
about
this
model
of
services.
B
A
Not
operating
the
program
directly,
the
county
is
not.
We
in
fact
just
closed
the
RFP
on
Friday,
so
we
are
eagerly
awaiting
literally,
as
we
speak
word
from
our
Purchasing
Office
on.
F
A
B
Great
okay!
Okay,
so
do
you
want
to
share
any
other
stuff
updates,
Louise.
A
Yes,
I
can
ship,
so
I
am
pleased
to
introduce
delbria
Walton,
who
is
here,
I'm
gonna
put
her
on
the
spot
hi
today,
dobria
is
our.
As
you
know,
we
had
created
a
new
position
to
really
help
in
supporting
implementation
of
several
of
the
recommendations
from
the
public
Consulting
Group
work,
work,
plan
or
recommendations.
This
public
Consulting
Group
study
that
was
done
and
also
being
able
to
say,
sustain
those
as
well
as
we
develop
and
explain
employment,
and
so
she
is
our
new.
A
A
You
know
moving
forward
with
really
of
having
somebody
in
this
position
to
be
able
to
move
several
of
the
recommendations
forward,
and
so
we
look
forward
to
reporting
out
on
some
of
that
in
in
months
to
come
as
well.
A
Let's
see,
we
are
also
looking
to
feel
Elizabeth's
position
still
so
that
position
closed
last
Friday
as
well
and
so
hoping
to
get
started
with
interviews
remind
us
what
Elizabeth
did
Elizabeth
was
our
employment,
habilitation
Transportation
contract
manager,
which
is
now
contracts
analyst,
and
so
we'll
be
starting
the
interviews
where,
for
that
position
up
soon
and
hopefully
we'll
get
someone
in
place
for
that
position
very
soon,
Jim
has
already
given
you
the
update
where
Irving
Street
is
concerned,
so
I
don't
have
anything
to
really
add
to
that.
A
Q
A
Been
working
with
support
coordinators
on
receiving
referrals
to
the
home
for
individuals
that
we
currently
work
with
and
support
as
well.
So
that's
coming
along
nicely
as
well
and
we're
starting
to
do
you
know
likewise,
so
we
know
from
our
transition
students
for
the
employment
Readiness
program.
Those
students
are
but
we're
also
getting
interest
from
the
support
coordinators
on
people
that
are
currently
in
Day
program.
A
Who
are
those
individuals
in
terms
of
being
referred
as
well,
because
we
want
to
be
able
to
share
profiles
with
the
providers
for
both
the
employment
Readiness
and
the
residential
program
for
1212
early
Street.
Once
we
do
have
a
provider
to
say,
hey,
here's
who
we're
looking
at
because
ultimately
it's
their
decision
on
who
they
accept
and
not
accept,
but
we're
optimistic.
You
know
that
it'll
be
people
that
be
put
forward,
so
we're
not
concerned
about
that.
A
We
are
should
be
starting
very
soon
in
terms
of
the
renovations
for
the
the
space
they
were
using
here
at
Sequoia
for
the
new
employment
Readiness
program.
So
we
anticipate
that
being
a
go,
come
July
1st.
So
we're
excited
about
that
as
well
and
the
other
thing
that
we
are
working.
Oh
I,
remember
the
other
thing
yeah
he
is
starting.
As
you
know,
we
have
been
looking
to
start
a
stakeholders.
Work
group
to
give
input
to
the
long-term
short
and
long-term
expansion
of
group.
A
Excuse
me
of
day
support
programming
as
well
and
Carol
actually
had
previously
under
her
leadership,
had
identified
members
of
the
DD
committee
that
would
represent
on
that
Committee.
In
addition
to
staff
representatives
from
Arlington,
Public
Schools
and
a
few
other
key
players,
I
think
we
have
reached
out
to
someone
from
The
Arc
of
Northern
Virginia
to
be
on
that
group,
so
that,
as
we
progress
and
move
forward
in
making
decisions
about
that
program
of
getting
input
from
this
Advisory
Group
with
Elizabeth
leaving
and
then
delbria's
position
being
not
field.
A
B
A
Our
art
show
yes,
our
unique
Awareness
Month
event.
Thank
you.
So
much
art
show
and
I
have
to
pull
up
the
the
name
of
the
library.
I'll
put
it
in
the
the
Westover
Library.
So
we
kicked
off
the
DD
Awareness
Month
event
on
Thursday
of
last
week
with
an
art
show
we
had
36
entries
of
phenomenal
art.
So
if
you
all
get
a
chance
to
go
to
the
Westover
Library
to.
A
Entire
month
great
it'll
be
on
display
the
entire
month.
We
have
some
amazing
talent
amongst
the
people
that
we
support
very
impressive
artwork,
that
they
did
so
so
that'll
be
on
display.
A
The
event
was
very
well
attended
also,
so
that
was
that
was
great
as
well,
and
we
also
had
a
good
size
number
of
people
that
we
actually
support
something
presented
and
did
Art
that
were
actually
there.
It
was
a
great
turnout,
great
program,
great
event,
so
hats
off
to
all
of
our
staff
that
took
part
of
doing
that,
and
everyone
that
supported
us
for
that
as
well.
So
it's
very
exciting.
B
Thank
you,
okay.
So
now
my
report
first
is
I,
want
to
thank
this
if
Lucy
would
be
now
still
here,
I
want
to
thank
Lucy
and
Diana
monig
at
the
arc
for
helping
and,
of
course,
lavois
and
maimuna
for
helping
conceptualize
a
employment,
listen
and
learn
for
next
month.
So
next
month
the
first
Tuesday,
which
I
think
is
April
Fool's
Day,
is
that
right,
I
think
I
think
that's
what
it
is
next.
B
B
B
Folks
to
let
us
know
what
they're
doing
what
examples
of
employment
that
they
have
placed
first
for
people
in
Arlington
what
they
plan
to
do,
to
recruit
more
or
to
to
find
more
placements
in
Arlington
and
unique
aspects
of
their
program.
B
We
are
going
to
complement
that
with
a
list
that
the
ark
has
produced.
That
has
all
the
contact
information,
what
which
programs
and
reimbursements
they
accept
and
on
which
types
of
Employment
Services
they
provide.
B
So
some
of
the
basic
information
that
all
of
them
would
have
provided
that
we
would
have
rolled
our
eyes
back
on
will
not
be
presented,
but
it
will
be
provided
as
well
as
the
arc
transition
guide,
which
is
very,
very
good
and
available
in
many
languages,
and
so
so
far
I
invited
seven
employment
service
providers
so
far,
nvla
Melwood
service
source
and
best
buddies
has
responded
and
I'm
still
waiting
for
another
three
folks
to
tell
me,
yay
or
nay,
so,
I'm
really
excited
about
that
joy.
B
We
want
to
try
to
work
with
Arlington
again
to
co-host
this,
so
I
guess
I.
Now
that
I
know
that
this
is
really
happening.
We'll
have
I
should
just
get
a
hold
of
get
with
Catherine
Donovan
at
the
parent,
Resource
Center.
B
Fourth,
no
for
publicizing
it
to
families
in
Arlington.
Yes,.
O
We
can
do
that.
I
I
can
talk
with
Kathleen
about
having
a
flyer
posted
through
Peach
star
to
advertise,
but
just
one
bit
of
information
I
want
to
share
I
know
that
spring
break
week
for
Arlington.
So
hopefully
you
know
we'd
still
be
able
to
get
some
people
to
participate
or
or
attend,
but
I
know
a
lot
of
families
may
be
out
of
town
too
sure.
B
Thank
you
for
letting
me
know
about
that,
and
one
of
one
of
the
reasons
that
we're
doing
this
is
because
there
are
so
many
providers
for
day
programs
for
employment
and
people.
Parents
are
encouraged
to
go
visit
program,
see
what
works.
We're,
hoping
that
this
will
be
an
opportunity
to
at
least
well.
It
will
be
recorded,
and
so
people
will
be
able
to
see
a
little
bit
about
each
program,
and
you
know
personally
we're
trying
to
generate
traffic
to
folks
who
are
interested
in
finding
employment
service
providers
who
actually
Place
students.
B
I
mean
place
people
in
Arlington
same
for
people
who
are
in
Day
Day
services
and
want
to
put
their
fingers
in
the
toes
in
the
water
about
employment
services
and
want
to
know
more
about
it.
So
if
folks
can't
come,
that's
fine,
it'll
be
recorded
and
then
we'll
we'll
try
to
get
Kathleen
to
also
send
that
link
and
and
keep
it
persistent
so
that
people
can
learn
more
about
Employment,
Services,
okay,.
O
We
can
also
I
was
just
thinking
aside
from
posting
the
flyer
through
the
parent
Resource
Center.
We
can
also
promote
it
each
one
of
the
schools
too.
We
can
have
the
transition
coordinators
promoted
with
the
case
carriers
that
each
of
the
comprehensive
high
schools
and
also
pep-
you
know
all
of
the
programs
that
we
have
as
well.
B
Okay,
what
is
the
time
from
four
to
six
it'll
be
it'll,
be
the
same
time
that
this
meeting
would
have
traditionally
been
okay
in
the
same
link.
So
we
can't
we
can't
we
it's
the
calendar
sent
into
that
so
unfortunately,
but
the
good
news
is
when
you're
in
Cancun,
all
you
got
to
do
is
know
the
time
difference
and
have
internet
connection.
B
So
please,
let
folks
know
and
and
enjoy
you
know,
even
the
the
Medicaid
one
we
had
I
think
we
have
well,
we
I
know
we
had
Elementary
School
parents
that
were
interested,
so
the
more
people
can
think
about
work
as
an
option
for
their
young
person
I
think
to
some
extent
the
harder
they're
going
to
work
to
help
their
children
succeed
in
school
so
that
they
they're
in
a
better
position
to
succeed
in
life.
So
thank
you.
B
Thank
you
for
that,
and
then
also
having
listened
to
a
parent
of
a
transitioning
student,
how
overwhelming
it
is
to
figure
out
what
I
mean
there's
the
day
programs
and
the
employment
programs
and
all
this
other
stuff.
Where
do
I
even
start?
So
now
we
have
to
share
information
with
each
other,
see
we
I'm
asking
five
to
seven
minutes,
not
10
10,
to
20
minutes
on
each
program,
because
it's
basically
a
commercial
for
your
program,
we're
going
to
have
how
to
find
you
and
and
which
vendors
you
accept
on
another
piece
of
paper.
B
So
you
don't
have
to
share
about
that.
We
want
to
hear
about
the
exciting
parts
of
your
programs,
so
that
will
be
the
take
the
place
of
the
April
meeting
and
then
in
may.
We
are
going
to
ask
VHS
to
present
on
the
performance
measurements,
not
necessarily
the
ones
that
that
we
do
for
how
are
the
that
teeny
tiny
little
piece
of
of
state-funded
csb
mining
spent?
B
But
what's
the
what
you
know,
what
are
we
doing
with
the
students
to
the
extent
that
we
can,
who
we're
receiving
both
say
day
locally,
founded
day
support
and
Medicaid
waiver
funded
day
support,
for
instance?
So
we
can
have
a
fuller
picture
of
what's
going
on.
So
if
anyone
has
any
questions
about
performance
that
they
want
to
share
with
us
as
we
discuss
the
types
of
measurements
that
will
be
planned,
please
let
me
know
about
that.
B
M
M
B
My
gosh,
you
guys,
are
so
helpful,
a
guy
who
am
I
supposed
to
call
I,
don't
know
anything
so
so
under
not
under
the
same
category
of
not
knowing
anything
I'm
going
to
share
my
screen
yesterday
at
the
executive
committee
of
the
CSV
I
found
out
that
we
are
supposed
to
prepare
a
presentation
that
we
will
provide
at
meetings
with
the
County
Board.
There's
we
meet
with
groups
of
two
people
for
each
board.
Meeting
I,
don't
know
how
to
make
this.
B
This
is
a
draft
that
I
had
to
write
last
night
when
I
went
home
and
said:
oh
gosh.
What
am
I
supposed
to
do
now.
B
And
already
I'm
changing
one
thing,
because
my
Muna
gave
me
some
feedback,
there's
the
125
000
for
the
new
employment
Readiness
program
at
Sequoia,
the
200
000
operational
cost
for
the
new
group
home
and
I'm,
going
to
put
the
four
hundred
something
thousand
dollars
instead
of
the
55190
for
the
increase
in
in
great
talking
to
compensation
to
match
the
Medicaid
waiver
amounts
as
a
csb,
the
csb
executive
committee
agreed
that
we
will
not
that
the
county
has
been
very,
very
generous
to
us.
B
As
you
see,
the
DD
Community
is
getting
a
new
group
home
and
this
employment
Readiness
program.
Well,
everything
I
mean
this
is
all
good
and
wonderful
and
we're
always
going
to
well
I
mean,
and
it's
and
everybody
knows
it's
not
going
to
meet
total
need.
But
we
are
very
grateful
that
they've
that
the
County
Board
and
and
thank
you,
Deborah
Warren
I-
can
see
your
face
there.
That
lavois,
maimuna
and
Deborah
have
been
exceptionally
supportive
of
us
in
our
funding
that
we're
requesting
so
so.
B
The
first
point
is
we're
appreciative
and
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that,
and
just
remind
them
that
that,
as
the
as
the
population
grows,
our
need
for
more
people
is
going
to
grow.
Just
like
they
increased
the
budget
to
accommodate
the
additional
folks
that
will
be
served
in
the
coming
years.
B
B
B
We
will
host
that
virtual
unemployment
event
that
we're
talking
about
to
describe
what
we
offer
and
to
ask
employers
employment
service
organizations
to
to
describe
what
they
have
to
offer
and
what
they
are
doing
to
increase
the
number
of
jobs
for
people
with
disabilities
in
Arlington.
B
We
would
like
to
request
the
board's
assistance
in
facilitating
employment
opportunities,
customized
for
The,
Unique
strengths
and
assets
of
people
with
disabilities.
In
the
Arlington
County
government,
we
want
Arlington
County
Employees
to
also
have
developmental
disabilities.
So
this
is
not
a
budget
ass,
we're
just
kind
of
putting
a
little
nudge
to
see
if
the
board
has
any
interest
in
hiring
more
people
with
developmental
disabilities
who
work
in
the
county.
I
know,
Takis
has
already
talked
about
employment
in
accounting,
so
and
I.
Think
Matt
has
too
so
any
comments.
E
Well,
I
think
this
is
awesome.
I
think
it's
a
great
opportunity
for
individuals
on
the
DD
committee
to
connect
with
County
board
members
and
and
be
able
to
you
know
Express.
The
Gratitude
I
would
just
emphasize
that
the
county
has
invested
just
two
points
quickly.
One
is
that
the
county
has
invested
at
least
4
million
into
Irving
Street.
One
lane
was
provided
by
the
state,
but
also
that
the
County
Board
is
supportive
of
that
consult.
E
Pcg,
consultant
report
and
staff
are
looking
for
a
location
for
a
new
day
support
and
Employment
Program
that
will
need
to
be
in
the
CIP
budget,
but
I
just
I
just
raised
that,
because
I
think
it's
important
to
recognize
the
CIP
contributions
of
the
County,
as
well
as
the
operating
budget
contributions,
and
the
other
thing
is
too
that
the
County
Board
recognizes
that
compensation
is
critical
to
having
staff
stay
and
and
for
recruitment
purposes,
and
to
that
end
has
taken
a
lot
of
steps
in
terms
of
you
know,
looking
at
classifications
and
and
making
sure
that
increases
are
Incorporated
in
the
budget,
so
I
just
I.
B
For
helping
me
with
this
this
paper,
because
you
saw
I
mean
you
just
stepped
in
to
help
today
so
I
appreciate
it.
Carol
I've
noticed
your
hand
was
up
here.
You
gotta,
you
turn
up
your
speaker.
Please.
M
Yeah
sure
I
just
put
a
question
in
the
chat
and
I'm.
Sorry
I
haven't
been
part
of
this
discussion,
but
I'm
looking
at
the
the
additional
31
individuals
who
will
need
active
support
service
for
coordination
and
fy24
that
I
believe
equivalent
to
about
a
full
support
coordinator
case
load,
so
I'm
just
asking
the
question
of
whether
any
consideration
was
given
to
adding
another
support
coordinator.
You
know
the
majority
of
that
cost
is
reimbursable
by
Medicaid,
so
it's
not
a
cost
to
the
county.
A
Okay,
so
if
I
can
comment
briefly
on
that,
though,
those
are
not
necessarily
31
individuals
that
are
new
to
developmental
Services,
some
of
those
individuals
are
already
open
to
us
and
being
supported
by
us
from
monitored
Services,
which
doesn't
mean
that
we
don't
do
anything
you
know
for
them.
Several
of
them
are
already
otherwise
actively
engaged
with
us
just
not
receiving
active
support
coordination.
So
I
think
that
31
is
people
for
active
support
coordination.
The.
B
A
Those
are,
it
still
represents
people
that
are
a
vast
number
of
those
people
are
people
that
are
currently
open
to
us.
It's
still
shifting
some
of
those
because
they
don't
get
waivers.
So
we
also
consider
that
our
graduates,
for
example
those
24
individuals,
that
we
previously
that
I've
previously
discussed
those
individuals
would
be
in
what's
considered
a
monitored
sub-program,
but
as
they
move
into
a
service,
whether
it's
local,
funded
or
active,
a
local,
funded
or
waiver
funded,
they
become
active
support
coordination.
B
Just
Deborah
is
that,
okay
to
add
I
mean
I'm
just
thinking
we
might
as
well
ask
for
it.
If,
after
looking
at
the
numbers,
it's
warranted
I
mean
it's
not
more
money
for
the
it's,
not
more
expense
for
the
for
the
county.
Deborah
I,
don't
know
if
you're
I
know
you're
on
mute,
but
I
don't
know.
If
you
can
weigh
in
here.
B
Not
gonna
ask
for
more
so
I'm
just
trying
to
weigh
yeah,
politically
or
practically.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
they
have
enough
support
to
do
to
handle
the
caseload.
It's
not
gonna,
it's
not
it's.
Not.
It
doesn't
necessarily
I
I
mean,
as
Carol
says,
we
don't
think
it
adds
to
the
bottom
line
in
terms
of
the
budget
and
as
you
as
we're
sharing
I
mean
that's
a
lot.
I
mean
a
lot
of
the
increase.
This
year
is
going
to
developmental
Disability,
Services,
yeah
and,
and
then
you
know,
CIP
so
everything.
B
E
You
know
out
of
the
budget
cycle.
I
I
think
that
it
might
be
best
to
frame
this,
as
you
know,
we're
we're
paying
attention
to
the
case
loads,
and
this
is
something
that
the
County
Board
might
want
to
be
aware
of
in
terms
of
future
or
even
closer
term
needs,
without
making
a
direct
request
for
another
FTE,
because
I
I
don't
think
that's
going
to
happen.
Sure
yeah.
B
I
I
mean
I
just
said
that
we
weren't
going
to
ask
for
anything.
Yeah
I
know
Carol.
You
were
there
during
that
part,
but
but
I
did
okay,
but
thank
you
Carol
for
bringing
that
up,
because
we
always
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
that
we're
supporting
of
the
services
and
and
the
caseloads
so
that
people
don't
get
so
overwhelmed
that
they
want
to
leave.
Because
then
we
have
fewer
people.
So.
E
B
L
M
B
G
Nothing
really.
We
are
also
celebrating
developmental
disability
awareness
month
with
art
and
creating
the
life
I
want,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
and
I
just
look
forward
to
hearing
about
all
of
the
new
stuff
coming
next
year.
For
you
guys,
it's
exciting
to
hear
it.
A
Well,
I
think
I,
don't
know,
give
updates
I
I
can
share
for
service
source
that
we
have
a
new
sensory
room
at
the
cic
that
we
are
very
excited
about
we're
in
the
process
of
equipping
it,
but
that's
exciting.
We
had
developed
it
some
Renovations
at
a
space
in
the
rear
of
the
facility
there
to
create
a
sensory
room.
C
B
Okay
under
new
business
I
just
have
one
thing.
The
mental
health
subcommittee
has
spent
a
fair
amount
of
time,
considering
how
they
should
be
involved
or
how
they
might
be
involved
in
the
Contracting
statement
of
work
process
for
for
contracts
for
rfps,
a
statement
of
work
for
rfps
that
are
especially
relevant
to
Mental
Health
Services,
like
residential
services
or
other
types
of
things,
not
for
reams
of
paper,
but
for
the
service
side
of
services.
B
They
have,
they
plan
to
present
their
I
believe
they
plan
to
present
their
proposal
after
feedback
from
the
department
at
the
April
csb
meeting.
So
at
the
May
meeting,
we
may
want
to
take
a
look
at
the
work
that
they've
done
to
see
if
I
know
that
that's
something
Carol
was
pushing
for,
and
others
have
pushed
for
over
time
to
do
something
to
for
the
Committees
to
be
more
involved
in
the
Contracting
process,
particularly
the
statement
of
work.
B
The
voice
for
the
for
the
group
home
for
the
Irving
Street
contract
as
Dina
and
Lynn,
gave
me
feedback
and
Joe
that
she
Incorporated
a
lot
of
the
ideas
into
the
and
to
the
statement
of
work.
So,
to
some
extent,
you
have
already
been
doing
that
little
boys,
so
it's
just
something
that
I
just
want
to.
Let
folks
know
that
we
will
piggyback
off
or
we
will
piggyback
or
take
a
look
at
what
mental
health
committee
has
done
to
see.
B
If
and
and
again,
that's
all
being
done
within
the
department
with
the
folks
who
will
make
sure
that
what
that,
while
the
state
statute
says
that
the
csvs
are
supposed
to
be
involved
in
Contracting,
we
don't
want
to
do
anything
that
is
not
going
to
be
consistent.
Our
mou
also
says
that
we
will
be
consistent
with
Arlington
County
processes.
B
E
Just
want
to
comment
on
that
to
say
that
whenever
possible,
we
really
do
incorporate
feedback,
particularly
from
the
csb
and
from
the
specialized
committees
that
take
a
deep
dive
into
the
particular
area.
E
I
think
that
what
the
mental
health
committee
is
asking
for
is
a
little
bit
more
formalized.
I
am
Consulting
with
the
county
attorney
on
that
issue.
It's
County
attorney.
Risk
management
purchasing
are
all
involved
in
that
mix,
so
it's
not
as
simple
as
as
one
would
hope,
but
I
will
certainly
let
the
mental
health
committee
know
and
then
we'll
we'll
see
where
we
are
with
that.
B
Okay,
do
I
have
a
motion
to
adjourn
the
meeting.
B
Do
you,
second
of
our
run,
all
those
in
favor
of
a
journey
all
right,
all
right?
Okay,
thank
you.
Everyone
for
participating!
Please
join
us
next
week
during
I
mean
next
month
during
spring
break
for
the
employment,
listen
and
learned,
and
then
we'll
we'll
we
can
meet
in
May.
Thank
you.
