So I was asking if there were any um any additions, questions, or changes to the minutes that we should um we should be advised about.

Seeing none, thank you.

And the next thing on the agenda, I know we've talked about the legislation that initiated this, but I always like to just take a look back to make sure that we're keeping in track, and based upon what I see, we are um the legislation, of course, calls for recommendations from this group that will be submitted to the health department, and um the recommendations should uh of available funds um and there should be a rationale for the expenditure and the alignment, they should align with equity goals and documented community needs.

Those are some of the requirements uh that were spelled out in the legislation uh CR99 2025 that we can keep in mind as we move on through the agenda today with the uh the main um piece of business that we have is of course reviewing the recommendations that were discussed at the last meeting, and um think we should begin to review those at this time, unless there's other business that we should move to first.

Sorry, I'm stalling as I get to my notes here.

Okay.

And I can go over um the chair did get a chance to look at them.

Um, and then she just had a few follow-up questions, not necessarily changing anything.

Um, and she should jump in at some point here when she finishes her other meeting.

Um, but she suggested as the next step for this um is to identify the dollar amount for each of the recommendations and um for each organization.

And I think she actually just came on.

Yes.

I apologize.

Um back to back meetings, but Aaron, I'll let you continue where you are.

Yeah, so you just missed us voting on minutes, so that was it.

Um we have the total amount of 250,000.

Um part of that will be toward the health health department's doula uh comp and fringe, uh, right, Dr.

Young?

Well, we've identified additional money in the health department budget, so we won't need to do that.

Okay, got it.

So the the whole 250 would be for what the advisory board proposes.

Okay, perfect.

Thank you for that update.

Um then so then the suggestion was because we have such a short amount of time to spend it, uh, was to give it to HCDI Healthcare Dynamics International as the the manager of the fund, and then for them to allocate it out to the nonprofits that um that would receive it.

Um so do we know about how much HDC H C DI would keep as overhead cost for this.

I would have to look back at their contract to see, but that there it's negotiable because for us at the health department, they never charge us more than 10 to 15 percent for the indirect rate because our grants don't allow a higher rate.

Okay, so you're thinking maybe 10 to 15 percent of the 250 would be perfect.

Thank you for that.

Um then if we think of them as the umbrella, right, that would fund the different nonprofits.

Um it looks like we have identified child resource connect and she rices as the two primary nonprofits that could receive this funding.

Um, and then from the from I guess there were 16 recommendations.

We're taking off the doula, so that leaves 15, and two were the names of those nonprofits that can provide the other services.

Right.

So we are at uh 13 different services, right?

16 minus one minus two, uh 14 different services.

So she rises.

We have identified possibly being able to provide the layouts, activities, activity kids for kids and postpartum slash perenatal webinar series.

Does that sound about right with their scope of work?

And then uh child resource connect, uh transportation stipend, postpartum education and staff support home visits and scheduling.

Does that sound about right with your scope of work, Jennifer?

Um I don't think uh say that again, which three were ours.

Uh we were thinking the transportation stipend, uh postpartum education and staff to support home visiting scheduling.

Okay.

That um I think the transportation, like the idea was connected to what because I know Dr.

Young said that the county also already had transportation options in place.

So the transportation, so I don't think I think that if the county already has that in place, then doing it directly from the county might be better for transportation.

Gotcha.

Although I guess we would we could move it off to additional organizations.

Because I think the issue is we we need to spend it from the county side, right?

So that it doesn't go into the fund balance if it's not spent.

So maybe if HCDI can manage that portion, then I and I don't they're not a nonprofit, correct?

Yeah.

So I think that they can do like maybe coordination and technical assistance, but then most of it should be a pass through to a nonprofit.

So I think that we if if the transportation stipends doesn't make sense for um child resource center, that that deliverable deliverable or expectation could be taken out, and then we can have a section of like additional funds to organizations that aren't specified by the group yet, right?

Um, but we can still specifically name what we want it to be, and then we can work with um HCDI on it so that we don't lose the funding, right?

So it's out the door.

We've already named what we want it to be spent on, um, and then we could find the best fit um nonprofits to do that bucket of work.

That and then the other thing that we um said that we would be able to handle is the um the mental health services through McGuire Group if we wanted to do some therapy sessions in that way.

Um and then last thing that I'm just gonna throw out there, if it helps at all to spend the money, and it's just that we are in a very strange situation this year where um so so right, like literally as we speak.

I don't know if I need to um plan to shut down our home visiting program in May, or if we have way too much money because of money that has been uh we've been told since August that we were gonna get it, but we haven't seen it and we're gonna hit a serious deficit.
