B.  Proposed NC Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)/County Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Pursuant to G. S. 108A-74

 

At the June 19th meeting the Board tabled action on the Memorandum of Understanding MOU with the NC Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).  Mr. Tom Hughes, Social Services Director, presented the MOU with the NC Department of Health and Human Services for consideration.  The MOU is required per NCGS 108A-74.  Counties are required to enter into annual written agreements for all social services programs other than medical assistance.  The law requires the agreement to contain certain performance requirements and administrative responsibilities related to the social services program.  Mr. Hughes stated that thirty-four counties had submitted a cover letter with their MOU citing reservations with the MOU and other counties added a writ to the end of their signed MOUs.  Many of the MOUs that included the writ were returned with a request from the State to resubmit the MOU without the writ attached.  The MOU’s with the letters attached were accepted.  County Attorney di Santi presented a proposed resolution to accompany Watauga County’s MOU.  The resolution states that the County signed the MOU with reservation and requests DHHS consider modifying the mandatory criteria and benchmarks imposed by the MOU to address small counties.  The resolution also requests DHHS to reconsider the oversight, compliance and enforcement process.

 

After discussion, Vice-Chairman Kennedy, seconded by Commissioner Hodges, moved to approve the Memorandum of Understanding and adopt the “Resolution Regarding the HB 630 Required Agreement Between the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (“DHHS”) and Watauga County, North Carolina (the “County”) and the Watauga County Department of Social Services (“DSS”).”

C.  Request to Change the Name of the Social Services Advisory Board

 

Mr. Hughes requested the change of the name of the Social Services Advisory Board to the Watauga Board of Social Services to be more in line with wording in the above MOU.  County Manager Geouque stated that a previous Board of Commissioners abolished the Watauga County Board of Social Services and reconstituted the Board as the Social Services Advisory Board.  The purpose of the change was for the Board of Commissioners to have more control over the Department of Social Services instead of an independent Board.

 

County Attorney di Santi verified that the name change requested would only affect the name of the Board and nothing more.  The Board would continue to have the same authority it currently has.

 

Vice-Chairman Kennedy, seconded by Commissioner Turnbow, moved to change the name of the Social Services Advisory Board to the Watauga Board of Social Services.

 

VOTE:  Aye-4(Welch, Kennedy, Hodges, Turnbow)
