From: Wilson, Mary Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2008 4:58 PM To: DSS-ALL Subject: Voucher Protocol

Dear Staff,

On Monday, December 1st, I instructed Paul Risk, Division Director for Youth and Family Services (YFS) to discontinue using vouchers at local stores for purchases until we could understand why the costs had increased so significantly. In recent months one retail bill increased from an average of $5,000 - $6,000 per month to over $20,000 in October. Additionally, it was learned that contrary to County policy, only 30 ñ 35% of receipts have been returned to DSSí Finance Department by the person making the purchases. I ceased the use of YFS vouchers due to a lack of strict oversight of our voucher system for clothes and other consumable supplies for foster children. As a result of this lack of oversight I have asked County Finance internal audit department to review all invoices and expenditures to ensure compliance with County policies.

Upon further investigation, we have found that (i) foster care families are responsible for purchasing clothes for the kids in their care but do not receive a check until 45 days after the child comes to their home, (ii) Mecklenburg County was spending money in addition to the money being paid to the foster care families to purchase clothes, (iii) there are other families with unmet needs such as grandparents in our Kinship care program and (iv) there are donations available to provide for many of these resources for our children who are in need but not in DSS custody.

Following my guidance to discontinue using the vouchers until further research was completed, I received an email from a staff member and subsequently received questions during the round of supervisory meetings I held across DSS. I want to thank the staff member who was courageous enough to send me an e-mail asking me about my decision and I want to thank the supervisors who raised the question during the supervisory meetings.

The following is an update on the issue and our plan for the new process going forward.

A foster parentís monthly maintenance payment is intended to meet the needs of youth in custody such as clothing and/or other essential items, however they can not do so if they do not receive their check on time. Therefore, the following clothing protocol is being implemented immediately:

1) Foster parents are informed at the beginning of their relationship with DSS that they are expected to use the maintenance payment to meet the needs (clothing, school supplies, food, and increases in utilities) of a child placed within their home.

2) Foster parents are responsible for ensuring that foster youth are adequately clothed for the season and should have clothing equal to or greater than the minimum clothing list as established by the Department within three months of placement in the foster home.

3) DSS will provide a $150 check within one business day of placement of the foster child to the foster parent for initial clothing purchases and will have that amount deducted from the first foster care payment. This will apply to public and private provider agencies.

4) The licensing worker for the agency will monitor the foster parent to ensure that a foster childís basic needs are met.

5) When a youth leaves a foster care placement it is expected that they will have clothing that meets their minimum needs. If they do not the provider will have the cost of replacement clothing deducted from their next maintenance payment.

6) Emergency placements: after-hours staff are authorized to use a clothing voucher, up to $50, so that the provider can get essential clothing that evening or the next day when the child has no clothing.

7) Petitioning social workers should attempt to get clothing from the family and if the family denies access to their children's clothing this matter should be discussed in court at the initial hearing and YFS should request the court to order the family to provide all clothing that is available.

8) Social workers should also contact the Community Resource Office to access funds for safety, preventive or reunification services when a juvenile is remaining in the home or returning to the home (ex. cribs, car seats, etc.). The main contact number to the Community Resources is 704-336-4809.

The YFS Management team is developing the following protocols and will communicate these at a later date:

* A protocol for youth who go "absent with out leave " (AWOL).

* A protocol for kinship care placements throughout DSS. Permanency planning worker should ensure that basic clothing and other needs are met through the kinship care providerís resources. If additional resources are required , the social worker should contact the Community Resource Office for assistance using funds donated by the public for the care of our clients. Additionally, the worker should encourage the kinship provider to apply for the Work First cash assistance program to receive Temporary Assistance of Needy Families (TANF) funds and explore becoming licensed as a foster parent which will entitle them to additional cash assistance.

This is a great example of how I hope we can address issues within DSS by being open, honest and transparent and without fear of retaliation. Going forward, I believe it is essential to bring resolution by reviewing the situation and determining whether we are consistent with the policy intended or have we created a work around to fix another problem? In this instance, we created a work around to fix the problem of foster parents not being paid timely and children not having necessary items. This work around was on schedule to costing the County approximately $200,000 a year (up from $58,000 in FY 2007 without an increase in the number of children served). I think all of us would prefer to see these funds used for other items, such as summer camp opportunities or after school transportation for tutoring, that we know our clients need.

Finally, please know that no child was left without necessary items during this time of review and transition. Every Division Director has access to me 24 hours a day 7 days a week so that decisions can be made timely and effectively for our clients. While we will take the time to review and correct our policies and procedures we will always do the right thing to take care of our clients.

Thanks for your continued hard work on behalf of those we serve,

Mary

I have spoken with an individual that is willing to prepare the meal (just prepare, not supply) Well......there are donated frozen turkeys in the CRO freezer.

The event is scheduled for Friday, Feb. 13, 2009 at 5:00 pm (possibly 6:00 pm). One of her requests is to find a source for the donation of the meal (entree, 2 vegetables, salad, bread, dessert). I have spoken with an individual that is willing to prepare the meal (just prepare, not supply) Well......there are donated frozen turkeys in the CRO freezer. Can 3 or 4 of them be contributed to Parktowne's Valentines Day event?

You may have the bears that are in that box for SCNP. What happened to the box of toys and the guitar that was in the pantry? Those are the items that were set aside to go to the YFS Giving Tree?

Can the beanie babies go to SCNP to go in the Valentines Day homebound goodie bags? Beanie babies are in a box under the plastic bin just inside the doorway of Annette's old area. Everything for SCNP has been inventoried and is sitting in the hallway near the big confidential waste container. I got the boxes out of Lynda's old office and the items out of the pantry as well as items out of Annette's old area. I will send an email to request one of the SCNP drivers to come over and pick the items up. I am still working on the items remaining in Annette's old area.

Hey there! Hope you had a great holiday. Is it 2009 already?! I'm wanting to run a story on the success for the CRO sponsorship and Giving Tree programs in the February issue of Outlook. I just got the editorial calendar Friday and guess what? Copy's due this week!

How long is the trip? And how old is the student? Depending on the age, I would be willing to do a check for up to $50. We would need a Good Friends request, I think that the check should be made out to the SW, her cash it and give the money to the child.

The Board rate was used to pay for transportation & lodging. The total cost was about $600.00 The FP will give the child money for meals, the social worker wanted to just provide additional financial support to the child so she could have spending money and to purchase souvenirs. SCA

Hello Donna, I know there are no funds to assist a student on a field trip but I am willing to reimburse the foster mom for a few meals if receipts are turned in. Question: Is this a problem? If it is, do you have any suggestions as to any financial assistance. If this were my biological child, I would provide some modest financial assistance i.e. spending money. I do think the foster mom is assisting some but she did not have a lot of money. Thanks SCA

Hey Stanley,

I have a teenager who is going to DC with the NAACP from her school. She is an honor student and is doing very well in care. Is it possible to provide monetary assistance for her while on the trip? Thanks in advance.

How long is the trip? And how old is the student? Depending on the age, I would be willing to do a check for up to $50. We would need a Good Friends request, I think that the check should be made out to the SW, her cash it and give the money to the child.

The Board rate was used to pay for transportation & lodging. The total cost was about $600.00 The FP will give the child money for meals, the social worker wanted to just provide additional financial support to the child so she could have spending money and to purchase souvenirs. SCA

Hey there! Hope you had a great holiday. Is it 2009 already?! I'm wanting to run a story on the success for the CRO sponsorship and Giving Tree programs in the February issue of Outlook. I just got the editorial calendar Friday and guess what? Copy's due this week! Do you have final numbers on how many families were helped for Thanksgiving and Christmas (and what percentage increase in demand there was), as well as how many sponsors participated? I'd love to get this by end-of-business Wednesday if possible. Thanks! Tabitha D.

Below is the copy for the Feb. Outlook. There are three stories: 1. DSS Training - Angela doesn't have room for a lot of copy, and she has chosen pics from the event to insert. 2. DSS Delivers Cheer - Beverly/Ginny - please make sure I have the numbers accurately represented in the proper context! 3. DSS Retirees - Not sure if this list will go in colums or a table. The designer will take care of that, so ignore the way it looks. Can I get this back Monday? All of DSS Under One Roof!

More than 1,000 employees of Mecklenburg County Department of Social Services (DSS) gathered under one roof to attend a training and employee recognition event on Wednesday, December 17. ìThe purpose of this training is expose all DSS employees to all of the services DSS and its community partners provide,î said Rodney Adams, DSS Services for Adults Division Director. ìWhen people call DSS, they arenít calling a division or a specific service. We must be equipped to respond to their needs as holistically as possible, and that is what this training is all about.î

The day featured a welcome by DSS Director Mary Wilson, who emphasized the departmentís need to foster greater collaboration and relationships with community partners to better serve County residents. ìI never realized there were so many other programs out there until today,î said Tiffany Williams-Stone of DSS Economic Services. ìNow I have more information to give my customers.î

DSS Delivers Cheer to Thousands of Children and Families

There was no shortage of bad news in 2008. An increasing number of families in the community are suffering because of job loss and a weakened economy. Such hardship didnít stop the Mecklenburg County Department of Social Services (DSS) Community Resources Division (CRD) from stepping up their efforts to make the holidays brighter for needy families throughout the County through its Holiday Meal Sponsorship, Elves for the Elderly, and Giving Tree programs.

In spite of the grim economy, the CRD aggressively pursued sponsorships throughout the community. Their efforts paid off, with 793 families receiving Thanksgiving meals; 844 families receiving Christmas meals and gifts; and 475 homebound seniors receiving Christmas gifts through Elves for the Elderly. The Giving Tree provided gifts for 1,950 children, totaling $172,794 in value, up 17 percent over last year. ìI was really concerned that with the economic decline, the numbers would be down significantly,î said Ginny Harper, Volunteer Services Supervisor at DSS. ìWhat's miraculous, though, is that we had more sponsors this year and 46 percent of them were new partnerships. It goes to show that if you build it, publicize it, and are passionate about it, they will come!î

DSS Honors its 2008 Retirees

Does anyone have any recommendations regarding this situation? I have a parent that just recently lost her job before the holidays. She had private insurance which has now run out. The youth is on concerta and the parent is unable to pay the full amount for the medications. What are her options? The ones I thought of is: *Sometimes the drug companies offer discounts and free meds, she could check with the company. *If they use a psychiatrist that is associated with CMC, they offer a med clinic with sliding fees all the way down to free. *Check with Natural Supports for financial assistance.

Does anyone have any recommendations regarding this situation?

I have a parent that just recently lost her job before the holidays. She had private insurance which has now run out. The youth is on concerta and the parent is unable to pay the full amount for the medications. What are her options?

The ones I thought of is:

*Sometimes the drug companies offer discounts and free meds, she could check with the company.

*If they use a psychiatrist that is associated with CMC, they offer a med clinic with sliding fees all the way down to free.

*Check with Natural Supports for financial assistance.

Any other options anyone can think of, please let me know. Thanks

CRO could help one time. Do the Good Friends request, this is assuming we have not helped this family recently. We can not provide the prescription on going. This might buy a little time to work through the situation. Applying for Medicaid and checking at AMH or with CMC are good thoughts as well.

Since staff are also contacting the CRO for cribs, I wanted to coordinate with you before ordering. Please review our plans below and let me know if you have other ideas that you would like to consider or purchase out of your org at this point.

Donna, Per below: For the Cribs: I know that you do not want to use the metal cribs. I remember in Ops, the decision was to purchase folding cribs. The 2 lowest costs for cribs are: $160.65 for the "Little Dreamer Folding Crib - Compact Size" and $223.50 for the "Hideaway Folding - Compact Size" If you are interested in the other choices; they can be found on page 7 of the CSA document attached. Do you want to go with the lower priced one ?? For the Play Yard: I imagine this would be without the basinet ?? With the budget restraints I wanted to get your input before moving forward. When you can get me feedback on those 2 issues, I can get the quote, have you glance over it and then submit for order. Thanks! _____

Hi Angela,

The 10-T58 portable, steel folding crib that Mecklenburg County previously ordered has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Our replacement is the Chelsea #8001 Steel Compact Crib ($118.75/ea - info sheet attached). This is a non-folding crib that comes with a 3î foam mattress, has 2 mattress heights, 4î casters and requires some assembly. Please note, the Chelsea Crib is currently backordered until approximately late April 2009.

The 50-BS-N1 Celebrity Play Yard w/Bassinet is $64.60; without bassinet (#50-NM-N1) is $53.90.

Please let me know which cribs and play yards you would like me to quote as well as how many would be shipped to each location.

Our 2009 full line pricelist is attached for your convenience and all items can be viewed on our website by following the link below.

Hey Chris,

You sent me a catalog of your stock some time ago and I can not put my hands on it right now. I wonder if I tell you what I intend on ordering if you could match up the item numbers? If not, send me the catalog again.

I am needing to get a quote for:

30 Pac 'n Plays

10 Cribs (the cribs are not the full size cribs they would be the portable).

As soon as I get the quote and send it through to my supervisor for approval I will be able to place the order.

The last time I ordered, I had delivery going to all our satellite locations. This time I will only use 2 delivery sites and they are:

Youth and Family Services

5800 Executive Center Drive, Ste 400

Charlotte, NC 28202

Darrell, YFS is going to place a bulk order for some portable cribs and pack and plays. See below for cost estimates. Since staff are also contacting the CRO for cribs, I wanted to coordinate with you before ordering. Please review our plans below and let me know if you have other ideas that you would like to consider or purchase out of your org at this point. I know that the CRO has been using gift cards for cribs but staff have been informed that the supply of gift cards is low. We are planning to store cribs/pack and plays at Chapin Hall and Charlotte East. It costs $100 per delivery site. Please send your feedback asap since we need to have safe sleeping options accessible. Thanks! Donna Fayko 704.336.3274

Donna, Per below: For the Cribs: I know that you do not want to use the metal cribs. I remember in Ops, the decision was to purchase folding cribs. The 2 lowest costs for cribs are: $160.65 for the "Little Dreamer Folding Crib - Compact Size" and $223.50 for the "Hideaway Folding - Compact Size" If you are interested in the other choices; they can be found on page 7 of the CSA document attached. Do you want to go with the lower priced one ?? For the Play Yard: I imagine this would be without the basinet ?? With the budget restraints I wanted to get your input before moving forward. When you can get me feedback on those 2 issues, I can get the quote, have you glance over it and then submit for order. Thanks! _____

Hi Angela,

The 10-T58 portable, steel folding crib that Mecklenburg County previously ordered has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Our replacement is the Chelsea #8001 Steel Compact Crib ($118.75/ea - info sheet attached). This is a non-folding crib that comes with a 3î foam mattress, has 2 mattress heights, 4î casters and requires some assembly. Please note, the Chelsea Crib is currently backordered until approximately late April 2009.

The 50-BS-N1 Celebrity Play Yard w/Bassinet is $64.60; without bassinet (#50-NM-N1) is $53.90.

Please let me know which cribs and play yards you would like me to quote as well as how many would be shipped to each location.

Our 2009 full line pricelist is attached for your convenience and all items can be viewed on our website by following the link below.

Thank you,

Hey Chris,

You sent me a catalog of your stock some time ago and I can not put my hands on it right now. I wonder if I tell you what I intend on ordering if you could match up the item numbers? If not, send me the catalog again.

I am needing to get a quote for:

30 Pac 'n Plays

10 Cribs (the cribs are not the full size cribs they would be the portable).

As soon as I get the quote and send it through to my supervisor for approval I will be able to place the order.

The last time I ordered, I had delivery going to all our satellite locations. This time I will only use 2 delivery sites and they are:

Youth and Family Services

5800 Executive Center Drive, Ste 400

Charlotte, NC 28202

and

Youth and Family Services

3205 Freedom Drive

Charlotte, NC 28208

Our best price that we've ever had on cribs was $120 plus mattress. The pack and plays are less than $60

We have two infants currently in drawers. Mercury can deliver in three days. I'd like to order tomorrow. Staff report that it has taken two weeks to get a crib via CRO

My understanding is that we are only able to order in bulk from a distributing company. We have worked with Target and Kmart in the past but vouchers are no longer available. None of these stores could maintain adequate inventory for bulk orders. That is why we are using Mercury Distributing. The numbers are for total for all 4 districts at this time.

The 2 lowest costs for cribs are: $160.65 for the "Little Dreamer Folding Crib - Compact Size" and $223.50 for the "Hideaway Folding - Compact Size" If you are interested in the other choices; they can be found on page 7 of the CSA document attached. Do you want to go with the lower priced one ?? For the Play Yard: I imagine this would be without the basinet ?? With the budget restraints I wanted to get your input before moving forward. When you can get me feedback on those 2 issues, I can get the quote, have you glance over it and then submit for order. Thanks! _____

Hi Angela,

The 10-T58 portable, steel folding crib that Mecklenburg County previously ordered has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Our replacement is the Chelsea #8001 Steel Compact Crib ($118.75/ea - info sheet attached). This is a non-folding crib that comes with a 3î foam mattress, has 2 mattress heights, 4î casters and requires some assembly. Please note, the Chelsea Crib is currently backordered until approximately late April 2009.

The 50-BS-N1 Celebrity Play Yard w/Bassinet is $64.60; without bassinet (#50-NM-N1) is $53.90.

Please let me know which cribs and play yards you would like me to quote as well as how many would be shipped to each location.

Our 2009 full line pricelist is attached for your convenience and all items can be viewed on our website by following the link below.

Thank you,

Hey Chris,

You sent me a catalog of your stock some time ago and I can not put my hands on it right now. I wonder if I tell you what I intend on ordering if you could match up the item numbers? If not, send me the catalog again.

I am needing to get a quote for:

30 Pac 'n Plays

10 Cribs (the cribs are not the full size cribs they would be the portable).

As soon as I get the quote and send it through to my supervisor for approval I will be able to place the order.

The last time I ordered, I had delivery going to all our satellite locations. This time I will only use 2 delivery sites and they are:

Youth and Family Services

5800 Executive Center Drive, Ste 400

Charlotte, NC 28202

and

Youth and Family Services

Beverly, please contact Donna on Thursday morning and get them a check through the CRO process so we can get the youth out of the drawers. Donna, I am not aware of the delay, please let me know when the staff for the cases where the kids are in drawers contacted CRO. When we hear about these items we need to address this ASAP. CRO has a process with finance where folks at DSS can write the checks. If we need to improve this we can.

Our best price that we've ever had on cribs was $120 plus mattress. The pack and plays are less than $60

We have two infants currently in drawers. Mercury can deliver in three days. I'd like to order tomorrow. Staff report that it has taken two weeks to get a crib via CRO

How aboit I make this initial order and develop the log while further research is done?

My understanding is that we are only able to order in bulk from a distributing company. We have worked with Target and Kmart in the past but vouchers are no longer available. None of these stores could maintain adequate inventory for bulk orders. That is why we are using Mercury Distributing. The numbers are for total for all 4 districts at this time.

Since staff are also contacting the CRO for cribs, I wanted to coordinate with you before ordering. Please review our plans below and let me know if you have other ideas that you would like to consider or purchase out of your org at this point.

Darrell, YFS is going to place a bulk order for some portable cribs and pack and plays. See below for cost estimates. Since staff are also contacting the CRO for cribs, I wanted to coordinate with you before ordering. Please review our plans below and let me know if you have other ideas that you would like to consider or purchase out of your org at this point. I know that the CRO has been using gift cards for cribs but staff have been informed that the supply of gift cards is low. We are planning to store cribs/pack and plays at Chapin Hall and Charlotte East. It costs $100 per delivery site. Please send your feedback asap since we need to have safe sleeping options accessible. Thanks! Donna Fayko 704.336.3274

Donna, Per below: For the Cribs: I know that you do not want to use the metal cribs. I remember in Ops, the decision was to purchase folding cribs. The 2 lowest costs for cribs are: $160.65 for the "Little Dreamer Folding Crib - Compact Size" and $223.50 for the "Hideaway Folding - Compact Size" If you are interested in the other choices; they can be found on page 7 of the CSA document attached. Do you want to go with the lower priced one ?? For the Play Yard: I imagine this would be without the basinet ?? With the budget restraints I wanted to get your input before moving forward. When you can get me feedback on those 2 issues, I can get the quote, have you glance over it and then submit for order. Thanks! _____

Hi Angela,

The 10-T58 portable, steel folding crib that Mecklenburg County previously ordered has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Our replacement is the Chelsea #8001 Steel Compact Crib ($118.75/ea - info sheet attached). This is a non-folding crib that comes with a 3î foam mattress, has 2 mattress heights, 4î casters and requires some assembly. Please note, the Chelsea Crib is currently backordered until approximately late April 2009.

The 50-BS-N1 Celebrity Play Yard w/Bassinet is $64.60; without bassinet (#50-NM-N1) is $53.90.

Please let me know which cribs and play yards you would like me to quote as well as how many would be shipped to each location.

Our 2009 full line pricelist is attached for your convenience and all items can be viewed on our website by following the link below.

Thank you,

Hey Chris,

You sent me a catalog of your stock some time ago and I can not put my hands on it right now. I wonder if I tell you what I intend on ordering if you could match up the item numbers? If not, send me the catalog again.

I am needing to get a quote for:

30 Pac 'n Plays

10 Cribs (the cribs are not the full size cribs they would be the portable).

As soon as I get the quote and send it through to my supervisor for approval I will be able to place the order.

The last time I ordered, I had delivery going to all our satellite locations. This time I will only use 2 delivery sites and they are:

Youth and Family Services

5800 Executive Center Drive, Ste 400

Charlotte, NC 28202

and

Youth and Family Services

3205 Freedom Drive

Charlotte, NC 28208

Our best price that we've ever had on cribs was $120 plus mattress. The pack and plays are less than $60

We have two infants currently in drawers. Mercury can deliver in three days. I'd like to order tomorrow. Staff report that it has taken two weeks to get a crib via CRO

How aboit I make this initial order and develop the log while further research is done?

My understanding is that we are only able to order in bulk from a distributing company. We have worked with Target and Kmart in the past but vouchers are no longer available. None of these stores could maintain adequate inventory for bulk orders. That is why we are using Mercury Distributing. The numbers are for total for all 4 districts at this time.

Donna, Per below: For the Cribs: I know that you do not want to use the metal cribs. I remember in Ops, the decision was to purchase folding cribs. The 2 lowest costs for cribs are: $160.65 for the "Little Dreamer Folding Crib - Compact Size" and $223.50 for the "Hideaway Folding - Compact Size" If you are interested in the other choices; they can be found on page 7 of the CSA document attached. Do you want to go with the lower priced one ?? For the Play Yard: I imagine this would be without the basinet ?? With the budget restraints I wanted to get your input before moving forward. When you can get me feedback on those 2 issues, I can get the quote, have you glance over it and then submit for order. Thanks! _____

Hi Angela,

The 10-T58 portable, steel folding crib that Mecklenburg County previously ordered has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Our replacement is the Chelsea #8001 Steel Compact Crib ($118.75/ea - info sheet attached). This is a non-folding crib that comes with a 3î foam mattress, has 2 mattress heights, 4î casters and requires some assembly. Please note, the Chelsea Crib is currently backordered until approximately late April 2009.

The 50-BS-N1 Celebrity Play Yard w/Bassinet is $64.60; without bassinet (#50-NM-N1) is $53.90.

Please let me know which cribs and play yards you would like me to quote as well as how many would be shipped to each location.

Our 2009 full line pricelist is attached for your convenience and all items can be viewed on our website by following the link below.

Thank you,

Hey Chris,

You sent me a catalog of your stock some time ago and I can not put my hands on it right now. I wonder if I tell you what I intend on ordering if you could match up the item numbers? If not, send me the catalog again.

I am needing to get a quote for:

30 Pac 'n Plays

10 Cribs (the cribs are not the full size cribs they would be the portable).

As soon as I get the quote and send it through to my supervisor for approval I will be able to place the order.

The last time I ordered, I had delivery going to all our satellite locations. This time I will only use 2 delivery sites and they are:

Youth and Family Services

5800 Executive Center Drive, Ste 400

Charlotte, NC 28202

and

Youth and Family Services

3205 Freedom Drive

Charlotte, NC 28208

Our best price that we've ever had on cribs was $120 plus mattress. The pack and plays are less than $60

We have two infants currently in drawers. Mercury can deliver in three days. I'd like to order tomorrow. Staff report that it has taken two weeks to get a crib via CRO

How aboit I make this initial order and develop the log while further research is done?

My understanding is that we are only able to order in bulk from a distributing company. We have worked with Target and Kmart in the past but vouchers are no longer available. None of these stores could maintain adequate inventory for bulk orders. That is why we are using Mercury Distributing. The numbers are for total for all 4 districts at this time.

Darrell, YFS is going to place a bulk order for some portable cribs and pack and plays. See below for cost estimates. Since staff are also contacting the CRO for cribs, I wanted to coordinate with you before ordering. Please review our plans below and let me know if you have other ideas that you would like to consider or purchase out of your org at this point. I know that the CRO has been using gift cards for cribs but staff have been informed that the supply of gift cards is low. We are planning to store cribs/pack and plays at Chapin Hall and Charlotte East. It costs $100 per delivery site. Please send your feedback asap since we need to have safe sleeping options accessible. Thanks! Donna Fayko 704.336.3274

Donna, Per below: For the Cribs: I know that you do not want to use the metal cribs. I remember in Ops, the decision was to purchase folding cribs. The 2 lowest costs for cribs are: $160.65 for the "Little Dreamer Folding Crib - Compact Size" and $223.50 for the "Hideaway Folding - Compact Size" If you are interested in the other choices; they can be found on page 7 of the CSA document attached. Do you want to go with the lower priced one ?? For the Play Yard: I imagine this would be without the basinet ?? With the budget restraints I wanted to get your input before moving forward. When you can get me feedback on those 2 issues, I can get the quote, have you glance over it and then submit for order. Thanks! _____

Hi Angela,

The 10-T58 portable, steel folding crib that Mecklenburg County previously ordered has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Our replacement is the Chelsea #8001 Steel Compact Crib ($118.75/ea - info sheet attached). This is a non-folding crib that comes with a 3î foam mattress, has 2 mattress heights, 4î casters and requires some assembly. Please note, the Chelsea Crib is currently backordered until approximately late April 2009.

The 50-BS-N1 Celebrity Play Yard w/Bassinet is $64.60; without bassinet (#50-NM-N1) is $53.90.

Please let me know which cribs and play yards you would like me to quote as well as how many would be shipped to each location.

Our 2009 full line pricelist is attached for your convenience and all items can be viewed on our website by following the link below.

Thank you,

Hey Chris,

You sent me a catalog of your stock some time ago and I can not put my hands on it right now. I wonder if I tell you what I intend on ordering if you could match up the item numbers? If not, send me the catalog again.

I am needing to get a quote for:

30 Pac 'n Plays

10 Cribs (the cribs are not the full size cribs they would be the portable).

As soon as I get the quote and send it through to my supervisor for approval I will be able to place the order.

The last time I ordered, I had delivery going to all our satellite locations. This time I will only use 2 delivery sites and they are:

Youth and Family Services

5800 Executive Center Drive, Ste 400

Charlotte, NC 28202

and

Youth and Family Services

3205 Freedom Drive

Charlotte, NC 28208

Our best price that we've ever had on cribs was $120 plus mattress. The pack and plays are less than $60

We have two infants currently in drawers. Mercury can deliver in three days. I'd like to order tomorrow. Staff report that it has taken two weeks to get a crib via CRO

How aboit I make this initial order and develop the log while further research is done?

Darrell, YFS is going to place a bulk order for some portable cribs and pack and plays. See below for cost estimates. Since staff are also contacting the CRO for cribs, I wanted to coordinate with you before ordering. Please review our plans below and let me know if you have other ideas that you would like to consider or purchase out of your org at this point. I know that the CRO has been using gift cards for cribs but staff have been informed that the supply of gift cards is low. We are planning to store cribs/pack and plays at Chapin Hall and Charlotte East. It costs $100 per delivery site. Please send your feedback asap since we need to have safe sleeping options accessible. Thanks! Donna Fayko 704.336.3274

Our replacement is the Chelsea #8001 Steel Compact Crib ($118.75/ea - info sheet attached). This is a non-folding crib that comes with a 3î foam mattress, has 2 mattress heights, 4î casters and requires some assembly. Please note, the Chelsea Crib is currently backordered until approximately late April 2009.

The 50-BS-N1 Celebrity Play Yard w/Bassinet is $64.60; without bassinet (#50-NM-N1) is $53.90.

Please let me know which cribs and play yards you would like me to quote as well as how many would be shipped to each location.

Hey Chris,

You sent me a catalog of your stock some time ago and I can not put my hands on it right now. I wonder if I tell you what I intend on ordering if you could match up the item numbers? If not, send me the catalog again.

I am needing to get a quote for:

30 Pac 'n Plays

10 Cribs (the cribs are not the full size cribs they would be the portable).

As soon as I get the quote and send it through to my supervisor for approval I will be able to place the order.

The last time I ordered, I had delivery going to all our satellite locations. This time I will only use 2 delivery sites and they are:

Our best price that we've ever had on cribs was $120 plus mattress. The pack and plays are less than $60

We have two infants currently in drawers. Mercury can deliver in three days. I'd like to order tomorrow. Staff report that it has taken two weeks to get a crib via CRO

How aboit I make this initial order and develop the log while further research is done?

Darrell, YFS is going to place a bulk order for some portable cribs and pack and plays. See below for cost estimates. Since staff are also contacting the CRO for cribs, I wanted to coordinate with you before ordering. Please review our plans below and let me know if you have other ideas that you would like to consider or purchase out of your org at this point. I know that the CRO has been using gift cards for cribs but staff have been informed that the supply of gift cards is low. We are planning to store cribs/pack and plays at Chapin Hall and Charlotte East. It costs $100 per delivery site.

The 2 lowest costs for cribs are: $160.65 for the "Little Dreamer Folding Crib - Compact Size" and $223.50 for the "Hideaway Folding - Compact Size" If you are interested in the other choices; they can be found on page 7 of the CSA document attached.

Hi Angela,

The 10-T58 portable, steel folding crib that Mecklenburg County previously ordered has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Our replacement is the Chelsea #8001 Steel Compact Crib ($118.75/ea - info sheet attached). This is a non-folding crib that comes with a 3î foam mattress, has 2 mattress heights, 4î casters and requires some assembly. Please note, the Chelsea Crib is currently backordered until approximately late April 2009.

The 50-BS-N1 Celebrity Play Yard w/Bassinet is $64.60; without bassinet (#50-NM-N1) is $53.90.

Please let me know which cribs and play yards you would like me to quote as well as how many would be shipped to each location.

Our 2009 full line pricelist is attached for your convenience and all items can be viewed on our website by following the link below.

Thank you,

Hey Chris,

You sent me a catalog of your stock some time ago and I can not put my hands on it right now. I wonder if I tell you what I intend on ordering if you could match up the item numbers? If not, send me the catalog again.

I am needing to get a quote for:

30 Pac 'n Plays

10 Cribs (the cribs are not the full size cribs they would be the portable).

As soon as I get the quote and send it through to my supervisor for approval I will be able to place the order.

The last time I ordered, I had delivery going to all our satellite locations. This time I will only use 2 delivery sites and they are:

Youth and Family Services

5800 Executive Center Drive, Ste 400

Charlotte, NC 28202

So that everyone is in the loop, YFS is placing a bulk order for 30 pack and plays that have the built in bassinet at the top. These provide better safe sleeping for newborns than the regular pack and plays. We are also ordering 10 cribs with a reduced price than from the original quote. These will be stored at Charlotte East and Chapin Hall to be shared across the agency. Procedures outlining criteria for requesting a crib or pack and play will be drafted and a sign out log will be maintained. I am hopeful that this will give both YFS and CRO the opportunity to fine tune how we want to maintain this function on a longterm basis. Thanks for your assistance! Donna Fayko 704.336.3274

Since staff are also contacting the CRO for cribs, I wanted to coordinate with you before ordering. Please review our plans below and let me know if you have other ideas that you would like to consider or purchase out of your org at this point. I know that the CRO has been using gift cards for cribs but staff have been informed that the supply of gift cards is low. We are planning to store cribs/pack and plays at Chapin Hall and Charlotte East. It costs $100 per delivery site.

Donna, Per below: For the Cribs: I know that you do not want to use the metal cribs. I remember in Ops, the decision was to purchase folding cribs. The 2 lowest costs for cribs are: $160.65 for the "Little Dreamer Folding Crib - Compact Size" and $223.50 for the "Hideaway Folding - Compact Size" If you are interested in the other choices; they can be found on page 7 of the CSA document attached. Do you want to go with the lower priced one ?? For the Play Yard: I imagine this would be without the basinet ?? With the budget restraints I wanted to get your input before moving forward.

Hi Angela,

The 10-T58 portable, steel folding crib that Mecklenburg County previously ordered has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Our replacement is the Chelsea #8001 Steel Compact Crib ($118.75/ea - info sheet attached). This is a non-folding crib that comes with a 3î foam mattress, has 2 mattress heights, 4î casters and requires some assembly. Please note, the Chelsea Crib is currently backordered until approximately late April 2009.

The 50-BS-N1 Celebrity Play Yard w/Bassinet is $64.60; without bassinet (#50-NM-N1) is $53.90.

Please let me know which cribs and play yards you would like me to quote as well as how many would be shipped to each location.

Our 2009 full line pricelist is attached for your convenience and all items can be viewed on our website by following the link below.

Thank you,

Hey Chris,

You sent me a catalog of your stock some time ago and I can not put my hands on it right now. I wonder if I tell you what I intend on ordering if you could match up the item numbers? If not, send me the catalog again.

I am needing to get a quote for:

30 Pac 'n Plays

10 Cribs (the cribs are not the full size cribs they would be the portable).

As soon as I get the quote and send it through to my supervisor for approval I will be able to place the order.

The last time I ordered, I had delivery going to all our satellite locations. This time I will only use 2 delivery sites and they are:

Youth and Family Services

5800 Executive Center Drive, Ste 400

Charlotte, NC 28202

and

Youth and Family Services

Donna, I looked at the prices below for cribs and pack and plays. Have we looked at Walmart for prices? I know that there is a pack and play for 49.99 and that there are cribs( full size) $119 and mattresses for $49.99. Is this 30 pack and plays and 10 cribs total or for each location?

Darrell, YFS is going to place a bulk order for some portable cribs and pack and plays. See below for cost estimates. Since staff are also contacting the CRO for cribs, I wanted to coordinate with you before ordering. Please review our plans below and let me know if you have other ideas that you would like to consider or purchase out of your org at this point. I know that the CRO has been using gift cards for cribs but staff have been informed that the supply of gift cards is low. We are planning to store cribs/pack and plays at Chapin Hall and Charlotte East. It costs $100 per delivery site. Please send your feedback asap since we need to have safe sleeping options accessible. Thanks! Donna Fayko 704.336.3274

Donna, Per below: For the Cribs: I know that you do not want to use the metal cribs. I remember in Ops, the decision was to purchase folding cribs. The 2 lowest costs for cribs are: $160.65 for the "Little Dreamer Folding Crib - Compact Size" and $223.50 for the "Hideaway Folding - Compact Size" If you are interested in the other choices; they can be found on page 7 of the CSA document attached. Do you want to go with the lower priced one ?? For the Play Yard: I imagine this would be without the basinet ?? With the budget restraints I wanted to get your input before moving forward.

Hi Angela,

The 10-T58 portable, steel folding crib that Mecklenburg County previously ordered has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Our replacement is the Chelsea #8001 Steel Compact Crib ($118.75/ea - info sheet attached). This is a non-folding crib that comes with a 3î foam mattress, has 2 mattress heights, 4î casters and requires some assembly. Please note, the Chelsea Crib is currently backordered until approximately late April 2009.

The 50-BS-N1 Celebrity Play Yard w/Bassinet is $64.60; without bassinet (#50-NM-N1) is $53.90.

Please let me know which cribs and play yards you would like me to quote as well as how many would be shipped to each location.

Our 2009 full line pricelist is attached for your convenience and all items can be viewed on our website by following the link below.

Thank you,

Hey Chris,

You sent me a catalog of your stock some time ago and I can not put my hands on it right now. I wonder if I tell you what I intend on ordering if you could match up the item numbers? If not, send me the catalog again.

I am needing to get a quote for:

30 Pac 'n Plays

10 Cribs (the cribs are not the full size cribs they would be the portable).

As soon as I get the quote and send it through to my supervisor for approval I will be able to place the order.

The last time I ordered, I had delivery going to all our satellite locations. This time I will only use 2 delivery sites and they are:

Youth and Family Services

5800 Executive Center Drive, Ste 400

Charlotte, NC 28202

and

Youth and Family Services

3205 Freedom Drive

Our best price that we've ever had on cribs was $120 plus mattress. The pack and plays are less than $60

We have two infants currently in drawers. Mercury can deliver in three days. I'd like to order tomorrow. Staff report that it has taken two weeks to get a crib via CRO

How aboit I make this initial order and develop the log while further research is done?

Hi Angela,

The 10-T58 portable, steel folding crib that Mecklenburg County previously ordered has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Our replacement is the Chelsea #8001 Steel Compact Crib ($118.75/ea - info sheet attached). This is a non-folding crib that comes with a 3î foam mattress, has 2 mattress heights, 4î casters and requires some assembly. Please note, the Chelsea Crib is currently backordered until approximately late April 2009.

The 50-BS-N1 Celebrity Play Yard w/Bassinet is $64.60; without bassinet (#50-NM-N1) is $53.90.

Please let me know which cribs and play yards you would like me to quote as well as how many would be shipped to each location.

Our 2009 full line pricelist is attached for your convenience and all items can be viewed on our website by following the link below.

Thank you,

Hey Chris,

You sent me a catalog of your stock some time ago and I can not put my hands on it right now. I wonder if I tell you what I intend on ordering if you could match up the item numbers? If not, send me the catalog again.

I am needing to get a quote for:

30 Pac 'n Plays

10 Cribs (the cribs are not the full size cribs they would be the portable).

As soon as I get the quote and send it through to my supervisor for approval I will be able to place the order.

The last time I ordered, I had delivery going to all our satellite locations. This time I will only use 2 delivery sites and they are:

Youth and Family Services

5800 Executive Center Drive, Ste 400

Charlotte, NC 28202

and

Youth and Family Services

Hey Chris,

You sent me a catalog of your stock some time ago and I can not put my hands on it right now. I wonder if I tell you what I intend on ordering if you could match up the item numbers? If not, send me the catalog again.

I am needing to get a quote for:

30 Pac 'n Plays

10 Cribs (the cribs are not the full size cribs they would be the portable).

As soon as I get the quote and send it through to my supervisor for approval I will be able to place the order.

The last time I ordered, I had delivery going to all our satellite locations. This time I will only use 2 delivery sites and they are:

Youth and Family Services

5800 Executive Center Drive, Ste 400

Charlotte, NC 28202

Darrell

Our best price that we've ever had on cribs was $120 plus mattress. The pack and plays are less than $60

We have two infants currently in drawers. Mercury can deliver in three days. I'd like to order tomorrow. Staff report that it has taken two weeks to get a crib via CRO

How aboit I make this initial order and develop the log while further research is done?

My understanding is that we are only able to order in bulk from a distributing company. We have worked with Target and Kmart in the past but vouchers are no longer available. None of these stores could maintain adequate inventory for bulk orders. That is why we are using Mercury Distributing. The numbers are for total for all 4 districts at this time.

Since staff are also contacting the CRO for cribs, I wanted to coordinate with you before ordering. Please review our plans below and let me know if you have other ideas that you would like to consider or purchase out of your org at this point.

The 2 lowest costs for cribs are: $160.65 for the "Little Dreamer Folding Crib - Compact Size" and $223.50 for the "Hideaway Folding - Compact Size" If you are interested in the other choices; they can be found on page 7 of the CSA document attached.

Hi Angela,

The 10-T58 portable, steel folding crib that Mecklenburg County previously ordered has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Our replacement is the Chelsea #8001 Steel Compact Crib ($118.75/ea - info sheet attached). This is a non-folding crib that comes with a 3î foam mattress, has 2 mattress heights, 4î casters and requires some assembly. Please note, the Chelsea Crib is currently backordered until approximately late April 2009.

The 50-BS-N1 Celebrity Play Yard w/Bassinet is $64.60; without bassinet (#50-NM-N1) is $53.90.

Please let me know which cribs and play yards you would like me to quote as well as how many would be shipped to each location.

Our 2009 full line pricelist is attached for your convenience and all items can be viewed on our website by following the link below.

Thank you,

Hey Chris,

You sent me a catalog of your stock some time ago and I can not put my hands on it right now. I wonder if I tell you what I intend on ordering if you could match up the item numbers? If not, send me the catalog again.

I am needing to get a quote for:

30 Pac 'n Plays

10 Cribs (the cribs are not the full size cribs they would be the portable).

As soon as I get the quote and send it through to my supervisor for approval I will be able to place the order.

The last time I ordered, I had delivery going to all our satellite locations. This time I will only use 2 delivery sites and they are:

Youth and Family Services

5800 Executive Center Drive, Ste 400

Charlotte, NC 28202

and

Youth and Family Services

Please review our plans below and let me know if you have other ideas that you would like to consider or purchase out of your org at this point. I know that the CRO has been using gift cards for cribs but staff have been informed that the supply of gift cards is low. We are planning to store cribs/pack and plays at Chapin Hall and Charlotte East. It costs $100 per delivery site. Please send your feedback asap since we need to have safe sleeping options accessible. Thanks! Donna Fayko 704.336.3274

Donna, Per below: For the Cribs: I know that you do not want to use the metal cribs. I remember in Ops, the decision was to purchase folding cribs. The 2 lowest costs for cribs are: $160.65 for the "Little Dreamer Folding Crib - Compact Size" and $223.50 for the "Hideaway Folding - Compact Size" If you are interested in the other choices; they can be found on page 7 of the CSA document attached. Do you want to go with the lower priced one ?? For the Play Yard: I imagine this would be without the basinet ?? With the budget restraints I wanted to get your input before moving forward. When you can get me feedback on those 2 issues, I can get the quote, have you glance over it and then submit for order. Thanks! _____

Hi Angela,

The 10-T58 portable, steel folding crib that Mecklenburg County previously ordered has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Our replacement is the Chelsea #8001 Steel Compact Crib ($118.75/ea - info sheet attached). This is a non-folding crib that comes with a 3î foam mattress, has 2 mattress heights, 4î casters and requires some assembly. Please note, the Chelsea Crib is currently backordered until approximately late April 2009.

The 50-BS-N1 Celebrity Play Yard w/Bassinet is $64.60; without bassinet (#50-NM-N1) is $53.90.

Please let me know which cribs and play yards you would like me to quote as well as how many would be shipped to each location.

Our 2009 full line pricelist is attached for your convenience and all items can be viewed on our website by following the link below.

Thank you,

Hey Chris,

You sent me a catalog of your stock some time ago and I can not put my hands on it right now. I wonder if I tell you what I intend on ordering if you could match up the item numbers? If not, send me the catalog again.

I am needing to get a quote for:

30 Pac 'n Plays

10 Cribs (the cribs are not the full size cribs they would be the portable).

As soon as I get the quote and send it through to my supervisor for approval I will be able to place the order.

The last time I ordered, I had delivery going to all our satellite locations. This time I will only use 2 delivery sites and they are:

Youth and Family Services

5800 Executive Center Drive, Ste 400

Charlotte, NC 28202

and

Youth and Family Services

3205 Freedom Drive

Charlotte, NC 28208

Darrell, YFS is going to place a bulk order for some portable cribs and pack and plays. See below for cost estimates. Since staff are also contacting the CRO for cribs, I wanted to coordinate with you before ordering. Please review our plans below and let me know if you have other ideas that you would like to consider or purchase out of your org at this point. I know that the CRO has been using gift cards for cribs but staff have been informed that the supply of gift cards is low. We are planning to store cribs/pack and plays at Chapin Hall and Charlotte East. It costs $100 per delivery site. Please send your feedback asap since we need to have safe sleeping options accessible. Thanks! Donna Fayko 704.336.3274

Donna, Per below: For the Cribs: I know that you do not want to use the metal cribs. I remember in Ops, the decision was to purchase folding cribs. The 2 lowest costs for cribs are: $160.65 for the "Little Dreamer Folding Crib - Compact Size" and $223.50 for the "Hideaway Folding - Compact Size" If you are interested in the other choices; they can be found on page 7 of the CSA document attached. Do you want to go with the lower priced one ?? For the Play Yard: I imagine this would be without the basinet ?? With the budget restraints I wanted to get your input before moving forward. When you can get me feedback on those 2 issues, I can get the quote, have you glance over it and then submit for order. Thanks! _____

Hi Angela,

The 10-T58 portable, steel folding crib that Mecklenburg County previously ordered has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Our replacement is the Chelsea #8001 Steel Compact Crib ($118.75/ea - info sheet attached). This is a non-folding crib that comes with a 3î foam mattress, has 2 mattress heights, 4î casters and requires some assembly. Please note, the Chelsea Crib is currently backordered until approximately late April 2009.

The 50-BS-N1 Celebrity Play Yard w/Bassinet is $64.60; without bassinet (#50-NM-N1) is $53.90.

Please let me know which cribs and play yards you would like me to quote as well as how many would be shipped to each location.

Our 2009 full line pricelist is attached for your convenience and all items can be viewed on our website by following the link below.

Thank you,

Hey Chris,

You sent me a catalog of your stock some time ago and I can not put my hands on it right now. I wonder if I tell you what I intend on ordering if you could match up the item numbers? If not, send me the catalog again.

I am needing to get a quote for:

30 Pac 'n Plays

10 Cribs (the cribs are not the full size cribs they would be the portable).

As soon as I get the quote and send it through to my supervisor for approval I will be able to place the order.

The last time I ordered, I had delivery going to all our satellite locations. This time I will only use 2 delivery sites and they are:

Youth and Family Services

5800 Executive Center Drive, Ste 400

Charlotte, NC 28202

and

Youth and Family Services

We have two infants currently in drawers. Mercury can deliver in three days. I'd like to order tomorrow. Staff report that it has taken two weeks to get a crib via CRO

My understanding is that we are only able to order in bulk from a distributing company. We have worked with Target and Kmart in the past but vouchers are no longer available. None of these stores could maintain adequate inventory for bulk orders. That is why we are using Mercury Distributing. The numbers are for total for all 4 districts at this time.

Good morning Darrell Have you had the opportunity to review the attached information?

Darrell, YFS is going to place a bulk order for some portable cribs and pack and plays. See below for cost estimates. Since staff are also contacting the CRO for cribs, I wanted to coordinate with you before ordering. Please review our plans below and let me know if you have other ideas that you would like to consider or purchase out of your org at this point. I know that the CRO has been using gift cards for cribs but staff have been informed that the supply of gift cards is low. We are planning to store cribs/pack and plays at Chapin Hall and Charlotte East. It costs $100 per delivery site. Please send your feedback asap since we need to have safe sleeping options accessible. Thanks! Donna Fayko 704.336.3274

Donna, Per below: For the Cribs: I know that you do not want to use the metal cribs. I remember in Ops, the decision was to purchase folding cribs. The 2 lowest costs for cribs are: $160.65 for the "Little Dreamer Folding Crib - Compact Size" and $223.50 for the "Hideaway Folding - Compact Size" If you are interested in the other choices; they can be found on page 7 of the CSA document attached. Do you want to go with the lower priced one ?? For the Play Yard: I imagine this would be without the basinet ?? With the budget restraints I wanted to get your input before moving forward. When you can get me feedback on those 2 issues, I can get the quote, have you glance over it and then submit for order. Thanks! _____

Hi Angela,

The 10-T58 portable, steel folding crib that Mecklenburg County previously ordered has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Our replacement is the Chelsea #8001 Steel Compact Crib ($118.75/ea - info sheet attached). This is a non-folding crib that comes with a 3î foam mattress, has 2 mattress heights, 4î casters and requires some assembly. Please note, the Chelsea Crib is currently backordered until approximately late April 2009.

The 50-BS-N1 Celebrity Play Yard w/Bassinet is $64.60; without bassinet (#50-NM-N1) is $53.90.

Please let me know which cribs and play yards you would like me to quote as well as how many would be shipped to each location.

Our 2009 full line pricelist is attached for your convenience and all items can be viewed on our website by following the link below.

Thank you,

Hey Chris,

You sent me a catalog of your stock some time ago and I can not put my hands on it right now. I wonder if I tell you what I intend on ordering if you could match up the item numbers? If not, send me the catalog again.

I am needing to get a quote for:

30 Pac 'n Plays

10 Cribs (the cribs are not the full size cribs they would be the portable).

As soon as I get the quote and send it through to my supervisor for approval I will be able to place the order.

The last time I ordered, I had delivery going to all our satellite locations. This time I will only use 2 delivery sites and they are:

Youth and Family Services

5800 Executive Center Drive, Ste 400

Charlotte, NC 28202

and

Youth and Family Services

3205 Freedom Drive

Our best price that we've ever had on cribs was $120 plus mattress. The pack and plays are less than $60

We have two infants currently in drawers. Mercury can deliver in three days. I'd like to order tomorrow. Staff report that it has taken two weeks to get a crib via CRO

How aboit I make this initial order and develop the log while further research is done?

Hi, these items seems high to me but I might be out of practice. I seem to remember from my fatality days that someone purchased these in bulk for $50.00. I have a call out to resolve. Also Donna, please alert staff to continue call CRO to get there needs met and we will purchase individuals. I am hopeful to hear back from my contacts by Friday. Beverly lets discuss using a combination of Good Friends and Volunteer funds to meet this request.

My understanding is that we are only able to order in bulk from a distributing company. We have worked with Target and Kmart in the past but vouchers are no longer available. None of these stores could maintain adequate inventory for bulk orders. That is why we are using Mercury Distributing. The numbers are for total for all 4 districts at this time.

Good morning Darrell. Welton Spencer (Intake SW) came to the CRO this morning and informed us the folks in Finance have not cut checks for our Good Friends requests. (He had submitted a request for one of his clients who came by to pick up a check.) Welton was told the requests were with you waiting for approval. On Monday morning I took the SS3s to Jenita Boyce since she was filling in for Joanne Falco. Jenita called me later that morning to say I was not authorized to sign off on the Good Friends referrals. I explained to her I have been Beverly's back up for Good Friends whenever she is out of the office due to offsite meetings/vacation. Jenita went on to say her supervisor said I'm not authorized but by the end of the conversation she said, "well, okay" so I assumed they just weren't aware I signed the SS3s in Beverly's absence. Darrell, if I'm not authorized, we were not made aware of this before. However, if the process should be where you sign in Beverly's absence that's fully understandable. The only thing is, the SS3s need to be signed and given to Finance by 9:30 each morning in order for the checks to be cut & ready for clients to pick up after 4:00 p.m. the same day. Many of these checks are for medications that our clients depend upon. The turnaround on completing these requests also plays into our rating/score with SOY.

Many of these checks are for medications that our clients depend upon. The turnaround on completing these requests also plays into our rating/score with SOY. Please let us know the status when you get a moment.

Hi Angela,

The 10-T58 portable, steel folding crib that Mecklenburg County previously ordered has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Our replacement is the Chelsea #8001 Steel Compact Crib ($118.75/ea - info sheet attached). This is a non-folding crib that comes with a 3î foam mattress, has 2 mattress heights, 4î casters and requires some assembly. Please note, the Chelsea Crib is currently backordered until approximately late April 2009.

The 50-BS-N1 Celebrity Play Yard w/Bassinet is $64.60; without bassinet (#50-NM-N1) is $53.90.

Please let me know which cribs and play yards you would like me to quote as well as how many would be shipped to each location.

Hey Chris,

You sent me a catalog of your stock some time ago and I can not put my hands on it right now. I wonder if I tell you what I intend on ordering if you could match up the item numbers? If not, send me the catalog again.

I am needing to get a quote for:

30 Pac 'n Plays

10 Cribs (the cribs are not the full size cribs they would be the portable).

As soon as I get the quote and send it through to my supervisor for approval I will be able to place the order.

The last time I ordered, I had delivery going to all our satellite locations. This time I will only use 2 delivery sites and they are:

Youth and Family Services

5800 Executive Center Drive, Ste 400

Charlotte, NC 28202

Good morning Darrell. Welton Spencer (Intake SW) came to the CRO this morning and informed us the folks in Finance have not cut checks for our Good Friends requests. (He had submitted a request for one of his clients who came by to pick up a check.) Welton was told the requests were with you waiting for approval. On Monday morning I took the SS3s to Jenita Boyce since she was filling in for Joanne Falco. Jenita called me later that morning to say I was not authorized to sign off on the Good Friends referrals. I explained to her I have been Beverly's back up for Good Friends whenever she is out of the office due to offsite meetings/vacation. Jenita went on to say her supervisor said I'm not authorized but by the end of the conversation she said, "well, okay" so I assumed they just weren't aware I signed the SS3s in Beverly's absence. Darrell, if I'm not authorized, we were not made aware of this before. However, if the process should be where you sign in Beverly's absence that's fully understandable. The only thing is, the SS3s need to be signed and given to Finance by 9:30 each morning in order for the checks to be cut & ready for clients to pick up after 4:00 p.m. the same day. Many of these checks are for medications that our clients depend upon. The turnaround on completing these requests also plays into our rating/score with SOY. Please let us know the status when you get a moment.

Hi Beverly,

I hope all is well with you this so far in 2009. I'm sure you're staying extremely busy these days.

Beverly, I was just getting caught up on my filing and came across my copy of our postage/printing invoice I prepared for you back in January. It concerns me because there was an extra copy attached to it. I have postage recorded for the day I sent it to you, but I just want to be sure you have it - I can't imagine where this second copy came from. I'm attaching it now. We actually came in a bit under $10,000 this year.

Hope to see you soon! Let me know if you have any questions.

Hey Beverly,

Would you mind checking the address you and your accounting office have on file for Sally Saussy? It should be 2725 Loch Lane. I just realized I have it wrong (2625) on the invoices I've been sending to you forever!

Thanks so much!

Since we will only pay for one visit to MedAssist, I think that the customer has to go in order to be evaluated. On going meds have to be qualified and paid for by some method. Probably if they qualify for ongoing meds they can receive them by mail. Upper management has decided that Good Friends will not be used for rent or utilities. I hope that they can be looked at on an individual bases, so I am not sure if the referrals should be made or not. I know that this is not a great answer. As I know more, I will let you know.

Beverly: I have another referral for you. I have a young lady, 18 years old, who is no longer in custody. Her daughter is currently in care and the court is requesting TPR. The young lady has recently linked up with me, and is really doing well, and following through. She has gotten her own apartment, is starting a new job, and I am trying to assist in her with furnishings for her apartment. If she can show that she has a furnished apartment and is ready for her daughter to come, there is a chance that will be reunified, but if she does not have these things by court she will lose her daughter for good. I have made a referral to Crisis for furniture for some of the larger items, and have purchased a few household items, but the obstacle that she is facing is the fact that she does not have a bed for her toddler, and I do not have any resources to purchase or buy anything for her toddler. I have identified a mattress, and toddler bed at Walmart for roughly $110... but if a bed could be obtained for her, or a gift card for this purpose... it would be very helpful. I will be faxing over the referral for Dedra today. Thank you... Tara Tara M. Williamson, MA, LPC Independent Living - Links Coordinator Mecklenburg co.

Subject: Reply to Commissioner James

Importance: High

Dear Commissioner James, Per your e-mail: I have called Mr. LaMay and discussed his experience at DSS. I am pleased to report that DSS has already identified and resolved the issue Mr. LaMay was concerned about regarding the voter registration process. We have created an internal policy unit to review the policy changes coming from Raleigh so that we are clear on their desired outcome and do not unnecessarily complicate the process by our attempt to follow the letter of the law which may increase County expense and time for our customers. I recommend that you follow-up with John McGillicuddy regarding the County Diversity Training Workshop. However, I have attended the diversity training and it does not address sexual orientation except in the context of acknowledging it as a form of diversity. The training does not train anyone to condone nor does it pass any judgment, positive or negative, on such behavior. Attached is the letter you asked Bill Warren to forward to me which I received yesterday. The anonymous writer references three incidents which he/she describes as a lack of diversity and you have characterized as a hostile work environment for white employees. Following are facts which you and the writer may want to take into consideration: 1. I was invited to attend an Adult Medicaid Thanksgiving potluck luncheon on November 19, 2008. The program, performed by employees, included an original poem stating that change had come to the White House and that change had come to DSS. Both are factual statements. I did not count who cheered but I think it is safe to say the majority of employees are black so it may be that it appeared only black employees cheered. 2. The Thanksgiving Referral Team was an initiative to automate the holiday referral system to move thousands of telephone calls off case managers desks and into the call center for more efficiency. The team was selected by me based initially on volunteers and subsequently we added additional representation based on division leadership. The team was all black. However, please note that DSS is 68% black. Interestingly enough, the diversity on this team was the male representation which is very limited at DSS at 13% . 3. The only change in leadership has been the Senior Leadership Team (SET) which reports to me. When I arrived at DSS the SET was comprised of 4 whites 1 black and 1 Latino. Since I have re-organized the senior leadership team is comprised of 7 whites and 3 blacks. 4. The Employee Climate Survey for Fiscal Year 2008 reflected a range of 64%-80% diversity perception score. To address the myriad issues arising out of the survey and the 260+ employee note cards and e-mails I received, I requested that the Organizational Development (OD) group within the Human Resource office conduct a diversity survey within DSS. The response was an outstanding 55% (664) response rate. The results are still being tabulated. The OD group utilized an online tool, survey monkey. It is my understanding that the survey tool is anonymous and only generated the data, not the source of the information. Thanks for bringing these matters to my attention. I will share this with the DSS staff because I believe it is critical that they know the issues that are being shared with the Board of County Commissioners so that they are well informed. Mary E.

I am not sure what he is referring to but I would appreciate it if someone could call and determine what is DSS concern is about Voter Registration forms.

Also ñ I received a complaint (a long one) about some sort of ëdiversityí training that was mandatory involving ësexual orientationí. If someone in County government believes that behavior is a sin and unlawful then there should not be any ëtrainingí to force them to reach another conclusion. It is one thing to treat someone professionally but quite another to force them to accept behavior that the law and major religions codify as wrong.

Since I donít know what is being taught I donít know what specifically they are talking about.

There was also a reference to some racial commentary at DSS that involved (according to this letter) a hostile work environment for white DSS employees.

I gave the letter to Janice Paige to have Bill Warren follow up on. It had a copy of an e-mail from Mary Wilson about the issue. They did not believe that the anonymous questionnaire for this exercise was really hidden from management view.

Since we will only pay for one visit to MedAssist, I think that the customer has to go in order to be evaluated. On going meds have to be qualified and paid for by some method. Probably if they qualify for ongoing meds they can receive them by mail. Upper management has decided that Good Friends will not be used for rent or utilities. I hope that they can be looked at on an individual bases, so I am not sure if the referrals should be made or not. I know that this is not a great answer. As I know more, I will let you know.

I noticed in the information for the new MedAssist office that they mentioned having the capacity to mail medications to the customer's doctor or clinic. Is having them mail medications an option when we authorize medications through MedAssist which are paid for by CRO? Sometimes we have customer's who cannot go to MedAssist to pick up medications. Also - We've been getting inconsistant information about submitting referrals to you for rent and utilties. Can you tell me what guidelines we should use for those referrals now? Thanks!

Beverly: I have another referral for you. I have a young lady, 18 years old, who is no longer in custody. Her daughter is currently in care and the court is requesting TPR. The young lady has recently linked up with me, and is really doing well, and following through. She has gotten her own apartment, is starting a new job, and I am trying to assist in her with furnishings for her apartment. If she can show that she has a furnished apartment and is ready for her daughter to come, there is a chance that will be reunified, but if she does not have these things by court she will lose her daughter for good. I have made a referral to Crisis for furniture for some of the larger items, and have purchased a few household items, but the obstacle that she is facing is the fact that she does not have a bed for her toddler, and I do not have any resources to purchase or buy anything for her toddler. I have identified a mattress, and toddler bed at Walmart for roughly $110... but if a bed could be obtained for her, or a gift card for this purpose... it would be very helpful.

Dear Commissioner James, Per your e-mail: I have called Mr. LaMay and discussed his experience at DSS. I am pleased to report that DSS has already identified and resolved the issue Mr. LaMay was concerned about regarding the voter registration process. We have created an internal policy unit to review the policy changes coming from Raleigh so that we are clear on their desired outcome and do not unnecessarily complicate the process by our attempt to follow the letter of the law which may increase County expense and time for our customers. I recommend that you follow-up with John McGillicuddy regarding the County Diversity Training Workshop. However, I have attended the diversity training and it does not address sexual orientation except in the context of acknowledging it as a form of diversity. The training does not train anyone to condone nor does it pass any judgment, positive or negative, on such behavior. Attached is the letter you asked Bill Warren to forward to me which I received yesterday. The anonymous writer references three incidents which he/she describes as a lack of diversity and you have characterized as a hostile work environment for white employees. Following are facts which you and the writer may want to take into consideration: 1. I was invited to attend an Adult Medicaid Thanksgiving potluck luncheon on November 19, 2008. The program, performed by employees, included an original poem stating that change had come to the White House and that change had come to DSS. Both are factual statements. I did not count who cheered but I think it is safe to say the majority of employees are black so it may be that it appeared only black employees cheered. 2. The Thanksgiving Referral Team was an initiative to automate the holiday referral system to move thousands of telephone calls off case managers desks and into the call center for more efficiency. The team was selected by me based initially on volunteers and subsequently we added additional representation based on division leadership. The team was all black. However, please note that DSS is 68% black. Interestingly enough, the diversity on this team was the male representation which is very limited at DSS at 13% . 3. The only change in leadership has been the Senior Leadership Team (SET) which reports to me. When I arrived at DSS the SET was comprised of 4 whites 1 black and 1 Latino. Since I have re-organized the senior leadership team is comprised of 7 whites and 3 blacks. 4. The Employee Climate Survey for Fiscal Year 2008 reflected a range of 64%-80% diversity perception score. To address the myriad issues arising out of the survey and the 260+ employee note cards and e-mails I received, I requested that the Organizational Development (OD) group within the Human Resource office conduct a diversity survey within DSS. The response was an outstanding 55% (664) response rate. The results are still being tabulated. The OD group utilized an online tool, survey monkey. It is my understanding that the survey tool is anonymous and only generated the data, not the source of the information. Thanks for bringing these matters to my attention. I will share this with the DSS staff because I believe it is critical that they know the issues that are being shared with the Board of County Commissioners so that they are well informed. Mary E.

From: William F. James, Jr. [mailto:wjames@carolina.rr.com] Sent: Thu 2/26/2009 3:34 PM To: Jackson, Janice; Wilson, Mary Cc: Warren, John ( Bill ); Paige, Janice Subject: FW: Voter registration forms at DSS

I am not sure what he is referring to but I would appreciate it if someone could call and determine what is DSS concern is about Voter Registration forms.

Also ñ I received a complaint (a long one) about some sort of ëdiversityí training that was mandatory involving ësexual orientationí. If someone in County government believes that behavior is a sin and unlawful then there should not be any ëtrainingí to force them to reach another conclusion. It is one thing to treat someone professionally but quite another to force them to accept behavior that the law and major religions codify as wrong.

Since I donít know what is being taught I donít know what specifically they are talking about.

There was also a reference to some racial commentary at DSS that involved (according to this letter) a hostile work environment for white DSS employees.

I gave the letter to Janice Paige to have Bill Warren follow up on. It had a copy of an e-mail from Mary Wilson about the issue. They did not believe that the anonymous questionnaire for this exercise was really hidden from management view.

Randy the info might be laying on my computer. I know Sandra is in training today. You might look in the yellow pages and see if you can recreate the steps you took earlier. One place is off Freedom and I think that the other is off of Statesville Rd. You are right about the price though. I think it was near the same price for both places.

Beverly, the information I located about the twin bed sets I gave to you. I need the information as I do not remember the company I contacted? I do remember it was around $75.00 for the set. Have a good day.

Beverly: I have another referral for you. I have a young lady, 18 years old, who is no longer in custody. Her daughter is currently in care and the court is requesting TPR. The young lady has recently linked up with me, and is really doing well, and following through. She has gotten her own apartment, is starting a new job, and I am trying to assist in her with furnishings for her apartment. If she can show that she has a furnished apartment and is ready for her daughter to come, there is a chance that will be reunified, but if she does not have these things by court she will lose her daughter for good. I have made a referral to Crisis for furniture for some of the larger items, and have purchased a few household items, but the obstacle that she is facing is the fact that she does not have a bed for her toddler, and I do not have any resources to purchase or buy anything for her toddler. I have identified a mattress, and toddler bed at Walmart for roughly $110... but if a bed could be obtained for her, or a gift card for this purpose... it would be very helpful. I will be faxing over the referral for Dedra today. Thank you... Tara Tara M. Williamson, MA, LPC Independent Living - Links Coordinator Mecklenburg co.

Furniture needs to come from CAM, the Butterfly Bin and other sources such as these. Tara you could always use our van to pick the bed up. You would have to drive it as you need a county permit and have to be an employee. Otherwise, I would check with your coworkers to see if anyone has a truck and is willing to assist. Is this young lady working?

Randy: Whatever assistance you can provide furniture-wise would be extremely helpful. This young lady has no furniture currently in her apartment. She has, as of yesterday, identified a bed for herself as well as a toddler bed, but she will need a toddler mattress. She has no dresser/chest, no couch, no kitchen/dining table, coffee table... none of that. So if you all have any resources that I am not aware of, that would be wonderful. Also, I do not know if you all have any access to trucks to deliver things... as although this young woman is going to be given a bed, she has to arrange to pick it up. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help...

Randy the info might be laying on my computer. I know Sandra is in training today. You might look in the yellow pages and see if you can recreate the steps you took earlier. One place is off Freedom and I think that the other is off of Statesville Rd. You are right about the price though. I think it was near the same price for both places.

Beverly: I have another referral for you. I have a young lady, 18 years old, who is no longer in custody. Her daughter is currently in care and the court is requesting TPR. The young lady has recently linked up with me, and is really doing well, and following through. She has gotten her own apartment, is starting a new job, and I am trying to assist in her with furnishings for her apartment. If she can show that she has a furnished apartment and is ready for her daughter to come, there is a chance that will be reunified, but if she does not have these things by court she will lose her daughter for good. I have made a referral to Crisis for furniture for some of the larger items, and have purchased a few household items, but the obstacle that she is facing is the fact that she does not have a bed for her toddler, and I do not have any resources to purchase or buy anything for her toddler. I have identified a mattress, and toddler bed at Walmart for roughly $110... but if a bed could be obtained for her, or a gift card for this purpose... it would be very helpful. I will be faxing over the referral for Dedra today. Thank you... Tara Tara M. Williamson, MA, LPC Independent Living - Links Coordinator Mecklenburg co.

I have made a referral to CAM, and my client is waiting to hear back from them. The BBin was on hold for a couple of months, and I was not aware that they had re-opened. With the BBin, I was also under the impression that they no longer took referrals from us, because they had had some issues with some of our clients? Do you have a means to do a referral for this agency? My young lady just began working, but she is going to be on such a tight income it is going to be difficult for her to pay for anything.

Furniture needs to come from CAM, the Butterfly Bin and other sources such as these. Tara you could always use our van to pick the bed up. You would have to drive it as you need a county permit and have to be an employee. Otherwise, I would check with your coworkers to see if anyone has a truck and is willing to assist.

She has, as of yesterday, identified a bed for herself as well as a toddler bed, but she will need a toddler mattress. She has no dresser/chest, no couch, no kitchen/dining table, coffee table... none of that. So if you all have any resources that I am not aware of, that would be wonderful. Also, I do not know if you all have any access to trucks to deliver things... as although this young woman is going to be given a bed, she has to arrange to pick it up. Any suggestions?

Randy: Whatever assistance you can provide furniture-wise would be extremely helpful. This young lady has no furniture currently in her apartment. She has, as of yesterday, identified a bed for herself as well as a toddler bed, but she will need a toddler mattress. She has no dresser/chest, no couch, no kitchen/dining table, coffee table... none of that. So if you all have any resources that I am not aware of, that would be wonderful. Also, I do not know if you all have any access to trucks to deliver things... as although this young woman is going to be given a bed, she has to arrange to pick it up. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help...

Beverly: I have another referral for you. I have a young lady, 18 years old, who is no longer in custody. Her daughter is currently in care and the court is requesting TPR. The young lady has recently linked up with me, and is really doing well, and following through. She has gotten her own apartment, is starting a new job, and I am trying to assist in her with furnishings for her apartment. If she can show that she has a furnished apartment and is ready for her daughter to come, there is a chance that will be reunified, but if she does not have these things by court she will lose her daughter for good. I have made a referral to Crisis for furniture for some of the larger items, and have purchased a few household items, but the obstacle that she is facing is the fact that she does not have a bed for her toddler, and I do not have any resources to purchase or buy anything for her toddler. I have identified a mattress, and toddler bed at Walmart for roughly $110... but if a bed could be obtained for her, or a gift card for this purpose... it would be very helpful. I will be faxing over the referral for Dedra today. Thank you... Tara Tara M. Williamson, MA, LPC Independent Living - Links Coordinator Mecklenburg co.

I wanted ot let you all know of some supplies that I do have in the pantry, if they are needed. Coffee pot, laundrey baskets, a rug, pictures, lamps, decorative items, pots and pans, childrens curtains, a fan and toiletries. As far as the mattress, I can look into prices if needed as Randy cannot find the information previously researched. Also, please let me know if the van is needed and when someone would be using it.

I have made a referral to CAM, and my client is waiting to hear back from them. The BBin was on hold for a couple of months, and I was not aware that they had re-opened. With the BBin, I was also under the impression that they no longer took referrals from us, because they had had some issues with some of our clients? Do you have a means to do a referral for this agency? My young lady just began working, but she is going to be on such a tight income it is going to be difficult for her to pay for anything.

Beverly: I have another referral for you. I have a young lady, 18 years old, who is no longer in custody. Her daughter is currently in care and the court is requesting TPR. The young lady has recently linked up with me, and is really doing well, and following through. She has gotten her own apartment, is starting a new job, and I am trying to assist in her with furnishings for her apartment. If she can show that she has a furnished apartment and is ready for her daughter to come, there is a chance that will be reunified, but if she does not have these things by court she will lose her daughter for good. I have made a referral to Crisis for furniture for some of the larger items, and have purchased a few household items, but the obstacle that she is facing is the fact that she does not have a bed for her toddler, and I do not have any resources to purchase or buy anything for her toddler. I have identified a mattress, and toddler bed at Walmart for roughly $110... but if a bed could be obtained for her, or a gift card for this purpose... it would be very helpful. I will be faxing over the referral for Dedra today. Thank you... Tara Tara M. Williamson, MA, LPC Independent Living - Links Coordinator Mecklenburg co.

I appreciate all of the suggestions that have been offered... as of now Angela if I can arrange to get those few items I emailed you about, fan, toiletries, and pans that would be great. As for the other furniture, I still have not heard anything CAM, although the referral was completed on the 27th of February. Any other suggestions as to how I can help my young lady obtain a couch, dresser, kitchenette, and coffee table would be appreciated.

I wanted ot let you all know of some supplies that I do have in the pantry, if they are needed. Coffee pot, laundrey baskets, a rug, pictures, lamps, decorative items, pots and pans, childrens curtains, a fan and toiletries. As far as the mattress, I can look into prices if needed as Randy cannot find the information previously researched. Also, please let me know if the van is needed and when someone would be using it.

I have made a referral to CAM, and my client is waiting to hear back from them. The BBin was on hold for a couple of months, and I was not aware that they had re-opened. With the BBin, I was also under the impression that they no longer took referrals from us, because they had had some issues with some of our clients? Do you have a means to do a referral for this agency? My young lady just began working, but she is going to be on such a tight income it is going to be difficult for her to pay for anything.

Furniture needs to come from CAM, the Butterfly Bin and other sources such as these. Tara you could always use our van to pick the bed up. You would have to drive it as you need a county permit and have to be an employee. Otherwise, I would check with your coworkers to see if anyone has a truck and is willing to assist. Is this young lady working?

Randy: Whatever assistance you can provide furniture-wise would be extremely helpful. This young lady has no furniture currently in her apartment. She has, as of yesterday, identified a bed for herself as well as a toddler bed, but she will need a toddler mattress. She has no dresser/chest, no couch, no kitchen/dining table, coffee table... none of that. So if you all have any resources that I am not aware of, that would be wonderful. Also, I do not know if you all have any access to trucks to deliver things... as although this young woman is going to be given a bed, she has to arrange to pick it up. Any suggestions?

I have made a referral to CAM, and my client is waiting to hear back from them. The BBin was on hold for a couple of months, and I was not aware that they had re-opened. With the BBin, I was also under the impression that they no longer took referrals from us, because they had had some issues with some of our clients? Do you have a means to do a referral for this agency? My young lady just began working, but she is going to be on such a tight income it is going to be difficult for her to pay for anything.

Furniture needs to come from CAM, the Butterfly Bin and other sources such as these. Tara you could always use our van to pick the bed up. You would have to drive it as you need a county permit and have to be an employee. Otherwise, I would check with your coworkers to see if anyone has a truck and is willing to assist. Is this young lady working?

Randy: Whatever assistance you can provide furniture-wise would be extremely helpful. This young lady has no furniture currently in her apartment. She has, as of yesterday, identified a bed for herself as well as a toddler bed, but she will need a toddler mattress. She has no dresser/chest, no couch, no kitchen/dining table, coffee table... none of that. So if you all have any resources that I am not aware of, that would be wonderful. Also, I do not know if you all have any access to trucks to deliver things... as although this young woman is going to be given a bed, she has to arrange to pick it up. Any suggestions?

Beverly: I have another referral for you. I have a young lady, 18 years old, who is no longer in custody. Her daughter is currently in care and the court is requesting TPR. The young lady has recently linked up with me, and is really doing well, and following through. She has gotten her own apartment, is starting a new job, and I am trying to assist in her with furnishings for her apartment. If she can show that she has a furnished apartment and is ready for her daughter to come, there is a chance that will be reunified, but if she does not have these things by court she will lose her daughter for good. I have made a referral to Crisis for furniture for some of the larger items, and have purchased a few household items, but the obstacle that she is facing is the fact that she does not have a bed for her toddler, and I do not have any resources to purchase or buy anything for her toddler. I have identified a mattress, and toddler bed at Walmart for roughly $110... but if a bed could be obtained for her, or a gift card for this purpose... it would be very helpful. I will be faxing over the referral for Dedra today. Thank you... Tara Tara M. Williamson, MA, LPC Independent Living - Links Coordinator Mecklenburg co.

Beverly: I have another referral for you. I have a young lady, 18 years old, who is no longer in custody. Her daughter is currently in care and the court is requesting TPR. The young lady has recently linked up with me, and is really doing well, and following through. She has gotten her own apartment, is starting a new job, and I am trying to assist in her with furnishings for her apartment. If she can show that she has a furnished apartment and is ready for her daughter to come, there is a chance that will be reunified, but if she does not have these things by court she will lose her daughter for good. I have made a referral to Crisis for furniture for some of the larger items, and have purchased a few household items, but the obstacle that she is facing is the fact that she does not have a bed for her toddler, and I do not have any resources to purchase or buy anything for her toddler. I have identified a mattress, and toddler bed at Walmart for roughly $110... but if a bed could be obtained for her, or a gift card for this purpose... it would be very helpful. I will be faxing over the referral for Dedra today. Thank you... Tara Tara M. Williamson, MA, LPC Independent Living - Links Coordinator Mecklenburg co.

I have made a referral to CAM, and my client is waiting to hear back from them. The BBin was on hold for a couple of months, and I was not aware that they had re-opened. With the BBin, I was also under the impression that they no longer took referrals from us, because they had had some issues with some of our clients?

Hi Beverly,

I am trying to get a clear handle on the voucher process, qualifications for providers and families, etc. for camps being offered by Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation. I spoke with Melissa Hernandez some time ago and she indicated that the Child Care Search Hotline was being utilized not only by DSS for subsidy payments for child care/summer camp, but by other providers and organizations that have scholarship dollars available as well.

I have heard from some folks who have called the hotline that they were told that the camps must be licensed and that there were no other opportunties. If you have any insight on that I would really appreciate it. I am relatively new to Park and Rec but understand that we have been able to accept DSS vouchers for camp registrations. If you have anything that would be helpful to me, give me a call on my cell phone. 704-200-8686. If it would be easier, you can shoot me back an email.

Thanks so much for your time and guidance.

Dear DSS Team: It has been a pleasure leading DSS for the past year. Thank you for your many letters, card, and notes of encouragement and the many people who said they were praying for me. This is a significant job with great potential to serve the citizens of Mecklenburg County. I am humbled every day when I see the long lines in our lobby and realize that we are the safety net for so many people who are just trying to make it another day. This work could not be done without each and every one of you. Your kindness, attention to detail and generous spirit makes a difference in the lives of so many people each and every day. This has been a year of change for all of us. When I first arrived, you asked me if I was here to "clean house" and I said no. I believe I was hired to look for the new and innovative ways to serve our customers so that we can be the premier social services agency that we have the potential to be. Change is always hard and it has been uncomfortable. Many of you have said you welcome change and you are excited by the new opportunities to learn, grow and provide even more service. Attached is an article which appeared in the Charlotte Observer on Saturday, June 27th discussing change implemented by Secretary of Energy Steven Chu. Please take a minute to read this article. It is exactly the same focus we have at DSS! I'm grateful to those of you who embraced the possibilities. If it were not for the pace of change from July through December, we would not have been prepared to give back $10.8 million in budget cuts this year without an employee reduction. We all learned so much in the first 6 months that we were able to see the opportunities for enhanced efficiency and effectiveness in the delivery of service to our customers. I think that was a good result even though it was uncomfortable. We will continue to: * look for strategies to cut costs by re-engineering processes and improving productivity * look at the "why" we do what we do to see if there is a real reason or is it "just the way we've always done it" * empower staff to work together, not as silos, to improve service to the customer * empower front line staff by cross training and encouraging them to take prudent risks to serve the customer * develop stretch goals like expanding services to Chapin and implementing Saturday service hours FY 2010 will continue to be challenging, not only because of the continued changes we will be implementing and the down economy but because prior actions have shaken the public trust. The audits I called for clearly indicated that we have not crossed the t's and dotted the i's as well as we should have in some areas. We must take stock of all that we do and ask if this is accurate, correct and defensible. The Giving Tree audit is one which several employees have said they don't understand the issue. The concern is that we cannot track the money donated to the gift purchased to the child or senior who received it. It may have happened exactly as it should have but the paper trail, in addition to other improprieties, does not reflect that sequence of events. Each division will be sharing with you the operational plans for FY 2010. They are exciting and full of opportunity for each of us to grow and excel! Our customers will benefit and I hope we each will continue to do this very important work with renewed energy. Finally, attached is an editorial from this Sunday's Charlotte Observer requesting that the issues identified by the audits be resolved. While this editorial primarily addressed the financial concerns, I encourage YOU to take personal responsibility as citizens, taxpayers and County employees to operate with integrity in all that you do and to make DSS the premier organization we know and want it to be! We must work together to fix these internal issues and to restore the public trust. Remember when I said there are no sacred cows at DSS? Well I mean it. I hope you will raise your concerns to your senior executive team and let us work with you to address any deficiencies within DSS. Regards, Mary Mary E.
