** Action Item: Ana Action, motion to approve 2018 Winter Statewide Meeting minutesElsa update spelling of her last name Quezada, Tink second the motion with the correction, those approve say “Aye”, Abstain none, motion carries. IL Practice or Innovative ProjectsDirectors shared their successes

Else invited other directors to email her if they would like to share in the grant that she was awarded, regarding housing.

Elsa suggested all Directors to go to CDSS website and see if your county applied for this money, if you request it they will award the funding.

Ana noted Housing Disability Advocacy Program: look up HDAP on Dept. of Social Services website, find your county and who your representative is, we are performing at 3% for these services. ILC’s have the competency to serve the community, Governor’s proposal has $25Million additional funding allocated for this. There may be some opportunity there for this to continue if we can demonstrate positive outcomes.

Joe Xavier, Irene Walela from DOR Joined the meeting Eli: question re: HDAP money, $25 Million, not every county, but those of us who are

and those that could be involved n the housing vouchers, a lot of work to prepare for these people for the interviews and other requirements for the community to take advantage of it. How to advocate from CFILC level?

Ana: There are public hearings coming up and it would be beneficial to provide comments about importance of working with partners in the community with the success of the program. expand it to those who are homeless and are disabled

Christina: How many are already involved in this? 2 Centers are currently involved

Page 2: cfilc.org · Web viewWe proposed a neutral setting and it was rejected, we need to counter Neutral setting A neutral facilitator More time to discuss Evan: keep trying to get 100%

Discussion about CARR fire, Shasta, Paradise fire and outcomes, and difficulty for those displacedBIG changes need to happen…need innovation

Evan, talked about takeover and how the fires adjusted their focus to getting consumers needs met, challenged with audit and other day to day responsibilities that made it difficult to manage typical day to day roles and responsibilities of the center(s), and deliverables required by DOR.

2019 New and Updated Human Resource Laws - Dianna Saltz of ADP… followed PPTChristina introduced Dianna, expressed everyone’s appreciation for Dianna’s support through Teresa’s transition out of her role at CFILC.

Make agreements ahead of time regarding: Travel Compensation: Hourly non-exempt employees

o How early at the airport will be paid? o Mileage paid if airport is farther than transportation to the officeo All employees paid until they get to their room.o If flights get diverted or delayed employee gets paid for all the travel time.o Offices 90 minutes apart, if paid employee is driving employer’s car, does the

employee get paid for travel time (it’s an agreement between center and employee in writing).

On the return: make agreements in writing, make it clear so employee understands how they are getting paid.

o Off the clock when they reach the airport, unless other agreement is made.o Mileage is paid until they get home.

Staffing company, is considered co-employer -- any labor violation will be pulled into litigation.

FMLA question – who uses the FMLA, get 4 months of State disability, protective leave is determined by doctor’s recommendation, up to a maximum of 4 months.

Strongly recommend employer send a letter qualifying what the rules and terms are of the leave.

Slide 81: Sick leave law: complicated, different cities and states have their own laws. Equal pay vs. volunteers – make an agreement, has nothing to do with what anyone in

the office would do instead, HR an intern is typically for-profit jobs, are paid. Review job descriptions, volunteer job description, make duties different than what

someone in the office does. Be clear in the job description what the responsibilities are for a volunteer. Put I-9 and medical documents. ‘s in a separate file and if someone comes in to check

personnel files, that information is not required. Minimum wage requirement – catchment areas, local unincorporated city and county

laws are different, Santa Monica, staff at Santa Monica office would be considered part of Santa Monica -vs. LA city/county deciding the wages is complicated, and maybe a

Page 3: cfilc.org · Web viewWe proposed a neutral setting and it was rejected, we need to counter Neutral setting A neutral facilitator More time to discuss Evan: keep trying to get 100%

paying attention to the changes within your catchment, higher minimum rate across the board.

Executive Committee Update Ana and Larry Wanger stepped forward to reach out to Rudy and Stuart to help bridge

the divide - SILC meeting in San Diego, 6 directors were present w/Christina and Allie, and additional directors called-in.

Discussion included the SPIL and where is it going. o What is the conflict of interest?o Put in a request to AG office to get a response in writing. o Went to ACL, Regina and got her involved, she was unaware of what was going

on, happy to be informed. In the SPIL, 15 voted on a call we agreed to sign if these things were included:

o Transitiono Systems Change HUB o Tier funding

The Executive committee has increased involvement and expressed appreciation to everyone for stepping up – this has been a tremendous distraction above and beyond the job description.

FINANCE UPDATE: Financial Expenses and Revenue (Page 67) $26,000 in excess is the 2nd most in CFILC history.

o IL Conference helped Disaster Management & assistance supported by:

o Richard Devylder Disaster Relief Fundo Compete for AT ACT grant, allowed us to use part of reuse would for disaster

management Ana is leading disaster management donations:

o community support and other organizations o donation and sponsorship for assistance o DREDF did a Facebook for disaster relief efforts.

With all donations/fundraising money $15,000 was designated based on what is needed in AT more streamlining.

Needed to fund because loan closets are running low, FEMA has told people that they won’t cover some things like any weighted blanket, or sensory disabilities, scooters, C-pap, everything in those areas are completely gone.

Utility companies are turning off energy but not talking about those who can’t survive without power for life support looking for additional ways to bring in additional funds

Donations came in and we have things but it was not cleaned properly. Find a way to keep items and not give away and need a place to store.

Page 4: cfilc.org · Web viewWe proposed a neutral setting and it was rejected, we need to counter Neutral setting A neutral facilitator More time to discuss Evan: keep trying to get 100%

Additional money will come in – working with Vance Taylor where can the money come from $8,200 invoice to Vance to reimburse for the expenses, he’s got a little more and more invoices will be requested.

Create MOU with your county to store the equipment. Several people have storage available.

IL Conference:Larry, Donna, Dani, Ron In follow-up to a conversation regarding the IL Conference Sac convention center not availableWe will look to transition every other year to NorCal – SoCal locations.Paula: noted moving conference to October conflicts with APRIL conference held in October.Options:

Christina, ensured “we’re on the train for moving with aging and can we create a bigger conference next year.”

Paula: DMC staff get from IL Conference what we get from this meeting, hate to lose that. We can support IL Conference needs…offered to receive materials – suggested additional centers and staff in the South could support to ensure the conference can be successful.

A lot of the Centers in South would love to be an adjunct to support the conference. Looking at permanent move of Statewide in Sac to September, IL Conference in October

regardless of North or South location.

**ACTION ITEM: April motioned to host Statewide in North in September and IL Conference in South this year, if it’s not financially reasonable we will skip IL Conference in 2019 and resume in Sacramento in 2020. Ron second, Everyone agreed, “whichever is best will work.”

Break for Lunch

DOR – Joe, Irene and CarrieJoe Xavier: good to see everyone and be here to hear the conversations!

Shared information:o Person-centered care: the work IL’s have done to make that happen in the

communityo Secretaries have been appointed

Mike W former director of health and human services…was….transitioned Aging State hospitals

o Retiring – beginning to look to fill Field Services Deputy positiono Universal design concept, re physical access, digital access, universal design, any

system will increasingly o Systems alignment deployment in a systematic approach

Page 5: cfilc.org · Web viewWe proposed a neutral setting and it was rejected, we need to counter Neutral setting A neutral facilitator More time to discuss Evan: keep trying to get 100%

o Legislative/State level saying you need to come together to solve a problem AB2083 Heath human services, ----identify the gaps and identify multi-year plan to

implement Funding associate with partnerships, ACL, Foundations, Joe was asked to work on building partnerships and building relationships.

o Each person has an intertwined challenge of issues to meet that person’s needs.o Homeless, employment is tough, and housing is tough.o No Wrong Door need to have a way to get all services they need are made available

to them Issue of conflict of interest – legal dept is looking at it – can’t get into it as we don’t have

answerso DOR is looking at this very closely, aligning with other issues around the conflict of

interest and how we move forward.o 2 issues – DOR team looking at responsibility to look at it, the fact SILC says can we

have DOR legal help us? No, we are DOR, 2-3 attorneys in the room, who can provide legal advice to whom.

o DOR needs to be non-partisan about how they are addressing the issues, Dani clarification/question: As a SILC member want to be sure you are aware of what we are

experiencing, wondering if in the research, what DOR’s legal team has done, if this has come up at all….

Joe: Yes…Let me remind you all the key element to this is 51% of the Directors sign this SPIL

Donalyn from TCIL: for those of us who don’t know, can you give us a brief description of the relationship of DOR and the SILC and whether DOR has any oversight of the SILC? Joe: DOR and SILC is a partnership role, because we are tasked with signing the SPIL. We

also have the funding and allocate and account for the funding, so we account for some of those “dollars”. We do not perform the administrative functions of the SILC.

o At the same time, we all work for the same administration. Lisa Hayes of Rolling Start, I am on the SILC executive committee, there seems to be a conflict

between what the 51% says we should be able to have and what we are being instructed” and tends to become a confrontational situation, and how can we move forward? Joe: Based on what I know, I am very confident this will work out the right way…

Eli, going back to NWD, LTSS, do you see the opportunity of future money being available to pilot person-center care project, every center has a designated person and have intentional outcome base, data driven process, where we can show what type of impact the program has on health and utilizing qualified health centered data on hospitals, readmissions, do you see an opportunity for funding something like this? To the extent that we can model and demonstrate that to model long term funding for this. Joe: Funding, we have had to wrestle with this within the DOR conversation and IL

Network, how do we get into the other systems to build funding, yes, I see some funding avail. Not looking to put money together to create another silo. How can we get

Page 6: cfilc.org · Web viewWe proposed a neutral setting and it was rejected, we need to counter Neutral setting A neutral facilitator More time to discuss Evan: keep trying to get 100%

to the table, and figure out collaboration, creating systems alignment will bring things together?

Paula: Question: WIOA, what is DOR’s role in terms of ILC’s needing to do?o National & State: all these systems are going through a major transformation…as

Director of DOR, o How do we create capacity?o How much DOR included ILC’s into the conversation?

ILC’s is involved at every level – systems have a local gov’t tone to it. The voice of disability isn’t always happening…

What is the policy – at a hearing and disability wasn’t even mentioned in the conversation.

What does that do in terms of the SPIL – how will it play out when we get ILC’s

IRENE update on status of CalFresh …

Carrie: TBI advisory meeting has 4 goals: Same talking points several contracts & procurement websites, removed vague

information, more consistency and less flexibility (not complete, not getting reviewed), Strengthened panel selection process, application will be scored. Ensure inclusion Modified appeal dept.

How does DOR work in coordination w/SILC to ensure money being distributed – monitor invoices submitted by each ILC, for all VIIB approved by IL

Ensure billing is handled appropriately – ensure ILC’s are executing funds according to the grants.

Analyze for descriptions and make sure all deliverables are being met. Training and technical assistance reviews will happen. Is there a concern about the review process: with the changes and steps DOR is taking

to make sure awarding grants and the audit, concern that when selecting folks to sit on review panel….in order to ensure lack of favoritism, and if people are bring brought in from outside ILC network?

Joe: It is important to not have anyone of bias on the panel.

Ana introduces and facilitates the CFILC membership conversation Review of the history of the progression of rehab act, WIOA – growing toward consumer

control. 51% of the Directors are required to sign the SPIL SPIL Purpose – goal and mission of the IL network; not about CFILC but about all 28 ILC’s

and our consumers, and our movement, this is a plan for our future. This is a plan for tomorrow and what we want to see for CA.

Page 7: cfilc.org · Web viewWe proposed a neutral setting and it was rejected, we need to counter Neutral setting A neutral facilitator More time to discuss Evan: keep trying to get 100%

SPIL controls total of $23 million pot of funding from the fed and state govt. we must have a SPIL to get the 7C funding

Bottom line 15 of us need to sign on to the SPIL, renewed every 3 years – not about your center but about all our centers, about our state and the network.

ILC’s advocated to have a State association to handle State funding for:o Transition o Advocacy o Community Organizing (our founding funding sources for CFILC)

CA comes from the oppression model, other associations pay so much more for a membership, dues changed about 7-8 years ago.

On the vision to increase capacity we use VIIB dollars Transition funds - $200K/year

o Only 6 of the centers are taking advantage of these funds Tier funding idea came about a few years ago talking with Patricia Yeager to come up

with an amount that centers would need to provide core services When language was placed in the SPIL, we said we would keep that in the SPIL until all

centers reached the same level. Youth Transition – is a way to spend down the carryover. 21 of 28 centers getting money from tier funding and Youth grants, most get VIIB (CAC,

RICV do not), transition funds, some spent on transition Get the money and have 6 months to spend before its encumbered. Ideas to spend the SPIL VIIB is looked at capacity building the tier funding is increasing

capacity:o Transition Fundo Systems Changeo Tierso A few for youth

New proposal, youth services Fund 1st tier and equally distribute to others from there

Open dialog: Other priorities:Two problems

o SILC and how to manage – don’t have a strong leader right now in the SILCo Stuart and Rudy – making efforts and then get no response and disrespectful

comments.Talking points: Sheri can be the spokesperson and deliver the same message we’ve been talking about

o Comments about some saying were inappropriate – if we go there, we are supporting a couple of bullies – threatening lawsuits.

o TJ perspective as a newbie and hopefulness of resolution, if we ever want to get to the membership of 100%, we need to negotiate, don’t want 51% to sign, we

Page 8: cfilc.org · Web viewWe proposed a neutral setting and it was rejected, we need to counter Neutral setting A neutral facilitator More time to discuss Evan: keep trying to get 100%

want 99% are signing on and it’s a consensus, and we have an opportunity to start to come together and engaging with the others we can have the conversation that brings us closer. We want to get to a point where we can work together.

o The olive branch was given, and they opted not to attend.o Everyone here is committed to funding the lowest tiers first o Susan voiced her opinion that she wants the money – but she supports the tier

funding.o We proposed a neutral setting and it was rejected, we need to counter

Neutral setting A neutral facilitator More time to discuss

Evan: keep trying to get 100% membership – knowing there are 6 gone, 3 likely will never become members, we need to reach out to the others.

Conversation will resume on Tuesday

Paula is the co-chair for the Aging and Disability Resource Connection Advisory Committee for the State.Question 1: How did your relationship with the Triple A (your partner in the ADRC) grow into becoming an ADRC?Elsa: Two members are Triple A’s, from a personal relationship, one is government, and one is

501 (c)3. People stopped coming; welcome ideas and suggestions from anyone. Tink: Agree it begins with relationships…It took 5 years to get where they were receiving state

funding. We have a person who handles the grant as core partners meet as needed. We created an Advisory committee – created 25 seats for committee, met every other month, now meet quarterly and as needed.

Paul: Began 2002/2003 Riverside County Office on Aging, got a grant to develop a No Wrong Door process. They put us in their grant.

Page 9: cfilc.org · Web viewWe proposed a neutral setting and it was rejected, we need to counter Neutral setting A neutral facilitator More time to discuss Evan: keep trying to get 100%

Paula: When I came back to DMC I was surprised to learned they were now a part of an ADRC. When the concept was introduced it was more as a collaborative. Just want to say if you are struggling with this concept, you are not alone.

Dani: In Ventura County, the ADRC was first big project. Around 2014 we got more into the idea, and we had a couple meetings, Victoria and I embarked on this journey, which had a rocky beginning. For us it was ADRC that embraced a relationship with the Triple A’s.

Question 2 how often do Question 2 how often do you meet?Ana comment: We have spent countless hours on this, remember moving forward and

remaining relevant, the needs elderly and youth are basically the same – we know the programs are Siloed form the federal level, people get passed around and get frustrated, we need to help them get their needs met.

Ideas: create training HUBS, are we inviting people to the table; what we do, know our population, now the needs and find a way to make it happen. All people/organizations were asked do you have this problem, “no” then asked do your parents?

Paula: Governor is very supportive of the ADRC and long-term careDani’s story about Gavin Newsom’s father passing, and noting he needed 24-hour care and someone commented, and he could afford it, what about those who can’t afford it?

Question 3: What do you value the most about your ADRC and how do you see the ADRC impacting your center?

April comment: Is working on this now with RIL in Yolo County first. Reached out to UC Davis and getting good support from them.

Irene comment: Great topic, end of last year I was asked by Dept of Aging asked to add input to the application process and the instructions and gaps that exists, and opportunity to address emerging, in practice. Improving making the contact, need foundational process, and happy to hear about the positive support with ILC’s.

ELI comment: Funding -what sort of funding are the groups going to get? Ron comment: having difficulty creating an MOU for his partnerships

Tink offered support and suggested MOU for RonLisa H. comment: trying to get San Bernardino on track – the philosophy differences, want to

Page 10: cfilc.org · Web viewWe proposed a neutral setting and it was rejected, we need to counter Neutral setting A neutral facilitator More time to discuss Evan: keep trying to get 100%

transfer HMIS data base, just to control duplication, does anyone have a tracking module? Host regional conference calls, Statewide advisory committee is open and can call in Dani comment: will share information with Lisa H or the group.

NCIL Update: Sheri gave a brief update on NCIL Members who participated in the surveys for priorities for next 2 years the top 5

priorities include:o IL Fundingo Housingo Personal Assistance Services and Healthcareo Civil Rights o Transportation

Continuing to watch bills. If you are interested in joining a committee let Sheri know and she will put you in touch

with the Chair or co-chair of those committees (or visit NCIL website information is there).

Centers complained about not getting the VIIB dollars allocated, not getting information in a timely fashion.

Couple of bills NCIL working on include:o DIA – reintroduced in January; HR555 o Senate Bill 117o Please contact your members of congress and get them to sign on to these.o Same thing for “money follows the person” there is finally a 5-year bill out, Senate

Bill 548o Another Bill to get signed onto is HR1342

Christina got a call re: ADA notification bill is coming back and Omni Berra is introducing it and they wanted us to plan some visits? Information came out the day after our meeting, and we REALLY need to push back on that and let him know we will not tolerate that.

CFILC Program Updates

Allie Cannington : Statewide Organizing Update Excited to be the staff lead for CFILC staff for Disability Action Coalition. Disability Capitol Action Day call – dialog about having a coordinated message, this year

we are working in alliance with California Alliance for Retired Americans (CARA) moving forward to be a more powerful event May 23, 2019,

Page 11: cfilc.org · Web viewWe proposed a neutral setting and it was rejected, we need to counter Neutral setting A neutral facilitator More time to discuss Evan: keep trying to get 100%

Break downs: this is just the start of the dialog, Wants to meet with each director Partnership with CARA:

o Public robust proposal to be equal partners, to be an intergenerational event, joint leadership committee, meeting regularly,

o What does CARA do well? What doe DAC do well?o New event…things will be a little differento CARA makes sure every legislature representative gets a meeting.o Can’t make it happen without each of you.o Conference Call meeting every 3rd Friday 1:00p-3:00po Agenda, DAC will have platform, CARA will have platform, and 2 joint bills to

present, we will have a youth at the table, for each o Sponsors – let’s build this out.

SILC Update: At last SILC meeting funding breakdown:

o CA get 2.1M VIIBo SILC = $662,000o DOR 5% = $106K o SC HUB = $375Ko Transition = $200Ko Tier Aug 940Ko Youth o Carry Forward $550,000 (spent some on the youth grants)

Carry-forward how it works, has there been discussion why centers don’t spend the money, or push back why are you asking for money,

Back to notes from ANA – never send money back to the Feds, lots of under-spending, Need to ask DOR WHY is there money unspent, carry forward nice to have a little buffer (2 years to spend the feds money, do want carry-over support multi-year, fed shut down, want a little in the bank to fall back on)

How to spend the carry over? Paula: dangle a carrot, might consider having a portion of the carry-over be spent on

Youth, open up again set aside certain amount and recompete for that funding. 1 -year amendment is what we are talking about carry-forward at about $546,000. To fund everything at the same level,

o Systems Change HUB at $375,000

Page 12: cfilc.org · Web viewWe proposed a neutral setting and it was rejected, we need to counter Neutral setting A neutral facilitator More time to discuss Evan: keep trying to get 100%

Discussion about no confidence vote for SILC Executive Director and the SILC Chair. Concerns about how the Executive Director and the Chair have been making decisions

and changes to work groups, who can vote, telling ILC’s we can’t vote because we’re on the SILC on specifically the Systems Change HUB because conflict of interest with no explanation given.

Candid conversation about previous SILC meeting and what’s come up since the meeting,

Lisa H. re-read the letter given and sent letter back saying it’s arbitrary and makes no sense.

Donalyn reviewed all SILC minutes of the committees leading up to this and nothing has been mentioned around this topic being brought up in any committee. This is coming solely from Liz without going through any of the membership. Raised issue at SILC meeting. Donalyn’s intent at this point is to send a letter to the Governor’s office about the violation of policies and procedures. Donalyn, requested the minutes of the meeting and Liz told her they don’t give out the minutes until they are approved at the following meeting.

Discussion on what everyone wants to do regarding creating letters…

**ACTION ITEM: Sheri motioned that CFILC draft a letter to AG and Asst. Attorney General, include, all the reasons why we have a vote of no confidence in Executive Director of SILC and request for the chair of the SILC resign for a lack of leadership and not fulfilling his duties and responsibilities procedures related to article 5, talk about Attorney General’s need to know how the messaging is being perceived by the public, because we haven’t had clear direction to know who is eligible to vote. We want to wait on the vote following

Page 13: cfilc.org · Web viewWe proposed a neutral setting and it was rejected, we need to counter Neutral setting A neutral facilitator More time to discuss Evan: keep trying to get 100%

policies and procedures being prepared. The Draft will be circulated to be used by the member centers as they feel best for their representation.Going to send to Governor, Attorney General and Asst.

Sheri Burns, Ron is in the same catchment area, April wants to represent her ILC in the communications process, Susan also has a contract she is working with them on.

Sheri will have call later today with Anita to discuss agenda and timelines. Also, to express some concerns “we” have, so she hears it from us. The bulk of the conversation will take place when Ron is able to participate; between 11:00am – 1:00pm.

Would like to discuss things to put into the SPIL, o motion with unanimous consent to continue the SC Hub for one-year extension, o 3 Tiers set the same way and the o Transition Fund at current funded levels and priorities.

AB1136 page 87 Stakeholders meetings, concerns raised by CFILC and community want to offer

alternative language in this bill – wants to include and feel fully incorporated IL in this bill,

Sheri: this is great in theory, but once this gets going and IL could be a non-visual partner.

Eli: lets not get minimized, and get lost in the actual work. If we make this move what would we see on our side – get someone involved from our

network, get IL into the conversation.
