Meeting Called to Order The Central Florida Cares Health System, Inc. (CFCHS) Executive Committee meeting was held on Tuesday, March 14, 2017 at 3:00p.m. at Central Florida Cares Health System, Inc., 707 Mendham Blvd., Suite #201, Orlando, FL. Ian Golden called the meeting to order at 3:01p.m.
A motion to approve the February 16, 2017 Executive Committee meeting minutes was made by Debbie Owens, seconded by Wayne Holmes, motion passed.
Financial Report CFO stated the first page is showing CFCHS actuals to the prorated budget where the providers are behind $2M. Page 2 shows spending by provider where 96% of the funds were spent. Page 3 is the SOF where yellow highlight shows underspending. Page 4 is the underspending by provider. Page 5 is all contracts and underspending for each provider and comments. The bottom of the page shows all T ANF providers and the only provider that is ahead is Community Counseling Center, everyone else is behind. Page 6 is the comparison between how CFCHS did from the previous year. It is good CFCHS is spending more money than the previous year due to receiving more money this year. The bottom right chart shows provider invoices needing to come in at $6.IM to spend out the contracted funds, and in January invoices came in at $5.4M. Pages 7-11 is an overview ofhow the spending is by program. 82% ofthe dollars is going to adult services.
There was discussion among members regarding Revenue Maximization and matched dollars. Page 12 is theMEs expenses. CFCHS has 20 employees. Page 13 shows the interest in the bank; $884K spent on FivePoints development. Page 14 shows $1.9M in the bank in January. DCF owed CFCHS for 2 months, CFCHS owed the providers for January and they have since been paid. Page 15 is the statement of cash flows. The statement of revenues and expenditures was next.
Charles Rogers, Treasurer, made a motion to approve the financial statements as presented, Kristen Hughes seconded, motion passed.
FivePoints The CFO spoke about the MOU being reviewed internally. The CEO indicated the attorney will be looking at the MOU next. When CFCHS hears back, it will go to the other MEs for their rev1ew.
The CFO said CFCHS met with FivePoints to map out the next year's direction. The F ASAMS system was discussed at that meeting. The CFO said the state put out the RFP for it. The CFO said CFCHS should go forward with the development of the system in case the Rev Max rolls out, CFCHS will be in a good position. At this meeting with FivePoints in Jacksonville last week, the set up for Rev Max was discussed and what it would take in ensuring CFCHS does not impose a lot more on the providers than necessary. FivePoints has experience with Medicaid.
CFCHS is waiting for the intellectual property attorney to review all the materials and get back with us with their recommendations, according to the CEO.
The CEO shared that CFCHS met with Don Sparks last week to determine what is needed, what is next, a plan was determined with moving forward so he can be prepared to present at the next Board meeting.
The CIO gave an overview of the FivePoints System Enhancements (see handout). He discussed how CFCHS will benefit with flexibility from the enhancements.
Charles Rogers asked about the cost. The CFO answered $129K.
Charles Rogers, Treasurer, made a motion that the Executive Committee approve the expenditure of up to $13 OK .for the enhancements to the FivePoints system to be ratified by the Board of Directors Meeting that meets April20, 2017, since there are invoices already due and we have exceeded the $1 OOK limit, Debbie Owens seconded, motion passed.
It was discussed by members to have the CFO and CIO at the next Board meeting to give an approximation of expenses on system enhancements in this next fiscal year so the Board can approve up to X amount suggested by the CFO and CIO. The CFO will note on the FivePoints chart to show what has been spent on enhancements, the acute care system, derivatives, and what projections are to be spent.

Organizational Updates STEPS - No update from the Inspector General's office. Steve Dalsemer, from STEPS, spoke and said they have received confirmation from the IG's office that there will not be any followup action. Mary Christie, DCF, said the last she heard is that the IG is waiting for information. Steve said he would forward any emails STEPS has received to CFCHS.
CFCHS Board ofDirector 6-year Term Limits - The handout from the Board of Directors' Composition and from the By-laws speaks about Board of Directors' term limits and was discussed. An Ad-Hoc Committee will be fanned to review the Board By-Laws and Policies to clarify language around terms. CFCHS will research Roberts' Rule of Order and legislative language to ensure the By-Laws and Policies are in compliance.
SOAR Specialist - This position is budgeted and has to stay with the ME. This position will work with the providers and help to complete the applications which takes about 40 hours a week. The providers have indicated this position would be beneficial to them.
The Chair then spoke about a SAMHSA grant in Brevard for SAIMH services for the chronically homeless population which is what SOAR is focusing on. Last week a notice that funding was received. The application is due April 25th. It was determined at the meeting they held March 13th that it fits more underneath CFCHS as the lead agency. Aspire is looking at applying for the grant. The CEO is to reach out to Aspire to discuss collaboration. The Chair stated this is $400K a year for 5 years. If the SOAR position sits under CFCHS, they would coordinate SSI, SSD, HIV, TANF dollars, and tie into housing. This is time sensitive.
Debbie Owens made the motion to allow CFCHS to follow through with the grant process and talk with Aspire to develop a collaborative process. Wayne Holmes seconded, motion passed.
Community Collections Solutions - MH ITN that came out of DOC. They started to have negotiation discussions. When we have additional information, the CEO will bring to the Board's attention.
Gateway Foundation Inc. is applying for the SA ITN that came out of DOC. They reached out to us, wanting a working agreement where CFCHS starts the services inside the corrections facility then follows the clients out in the community. There are preliminary discussions right now, but is time sensitive.
Charles Rogers authorized the Executive Director on behalf of CFCHS to continue discussions with Gateway Foundations Inc., Kristen Hughes seconded, motion passed.
Succession Plan was emailed out to Executive Committee for review and discussion. There was no input or feedback based on the plan from members.
Charles made a motion that the Executive Committee recommends to the Board of Directors approval of the leadership development and emergency succession plan, Wayne Holmes seconded, motion passed.
3
Internal Investigations Policy - The Chair of the Compliance/QI Committee spoke about the Board Policy "Internal Investigations" handout. This policy was reviewed by the Compliance/QI Committee and was proposed when the Compliance hot line was implemented. It was suggested by members to change language when the Board President is implicated to "Board President or designee by the Board."
Debbie made a recommendation to the Board of Directors to accept the Internal Investigations Policy with the amended change, Kristen Hughes seconded, motion passed.
The CEO spoke about the Articles of Incorporation for FAME and their 501 ( c )3 and at the last Board meeting, there was never a motion to allow CFCHS to sign the Articles of Incorporation when needed.
Charles Rogers authorized the Executive Director on behalf of CFCHS to sign off on FAME 50I(c)3, Wayne Holmes seconded, motion passed.
Complaint Investigation Update The Chair stated there is no update. The IG's office is waiting on additional information.

To whom it may concern,
I am a psychiatrist practicing in the central Florida area for 25 years. I care deeply for the
patients who have entrusted themselves to my care and the dedicated healthcare teams I work with
every day.
I am writing as a concerned physician regarding one the hospitals I have privileges with, Aspire
Health Partners. Aspire is the new name for what was three organizations; Center for Drug Free Living,
Lakeside Behavioral Healthcare and Seminole Behavioral Health. This group merged 3-4 years ago. The
merger was unique and a novel idea to combine community resources.
When Aspire was created it merged with the CEO from each organization. The three were to
insure the mergers success. The CEO of Aspire has been since its inception Dick Jacobs the former CEO
of Center for Drug Free Living. The remaining former CEO's have retired. In addition, many-very
competent staff have also left who served as upper management. Prior to their exit, they each spoke
with me and shared their concern with the direction Mr. Jacobs was taking the company. The fear was
they would see the collapse of all the hard work each company had brought to the merger only to fail.
I have attended Aspire meetings and noted that Mr. Jacobs manages the company with an
abrupt autocratic style. He does not encourage input from the medical staff or his leadership team. I
have not seen a consensus with fina l decisions. He is best described as a delegative leader that assign's
projects to his very large management team but does not consider their recommendations.
I currently serve as Medical Director in multiple organizations where my job is to hear the needs
of the medical and clinical staff and act as a conduit to and from the CEO to provide the best care but
remain fiscally responsible. This model also provides transparency and consensus with decisions made.
Aspire has three Medical Directors which is a model like no other I have ever encountered. The three
physicians are fulltime staff that sit in multiple meetings daily instead of seeing patients. This is when
the country is experiencing a severe shortage of physicians and especially psychiatrists. This model is
very expensive. My experience as a Medical Director is maybe a two-hour period from my monthly
schedule. I also have admitting privileges with the area hospitals and have never seen this model of
excess.
Many of the Aspire meetings I have attended have been lavish when the company is a not-for
profit. I am introduced to many of the management team I never see in the patient care settings. Aspire
has many Vice Presidents and Senior Vice Presidents in addition to the direct managers and executive
staff. The question t hat is asked by many is, how much of a healthcare dollar is mandated or allowed for
administration? This is a community mental health agency, not a large medical hospital conglomerate.
This model of excess is my concern in combination of the management style. Aspire is in a fiscal
crisis which has been discussed for more than six months. My concern continues and is heightened due
to the multiple leaders that have been hired with the crisis deepening. Announcements of promotions in
the corporate office are frequent when many of the staff have not received a pay raise nor has the
promoted position announced been posted internally for others to apply. Many of the direct care staff
fall into the poverty income levels and receive public assistance. I feel so bad for these people. I had
hoped things would get better, but they have not.
The staff that provide care directly to the patients have supported the merger, company fund
raising events, the administration, the excesses in the management structure and are now being told
they are likely to be terminated soon. The first layoffs were two men that mowed the grass. This was
Aspires first choice in slowing the fiscal crisis? Staff are not vocal with concerns due to fear of retaliation
from management and being targeted for termination.
I am emphasizing my concerns and asking for your intervention to avert a larger crisis. Aspire is
for the patients of this community. The staff that care for the patients made Aspire. The funds that
support Aspire are local, state and federal dollars. Where has the money gone? As a tax payer and a
member of the medical staff I am alarmed. My responsibilities are to treat the patients with behavioral
health and substance abuse disorders. I am now adding to my day hearing from many of the patient care
staff voicing their concerns. One of the most competent nurses I have ever worked with stands before
me and cries from fear of losing her job. A job where she has been hurt from patient violence, staffing
shortages and lack of therapeutic resources. Yet she still comes to work due to her dedication. She
explained that massive layoffs will be coming. She is worried as an older nurse she will be the first to go.
This is not acceptable. I am enraged that this travesty is occurring, prompting me to write this letter.
There is no doubt that Aspire is in a fiscal mess. How it became this dyer is inexcusable. I see the
CEO, Chief of Operations, Chief Financial Officer and the Board of Directors have abandoned their
fiduciary responsibility to the patients and community to which they were entrusted to manage the
company's funding. Where is the accountability? How is this allowed to be the norm? Aspire services
will be cut or diminished, caring and talented caregivers will be summarily dismissed which directly limits the services to the patients and population of Central Florida.
The blatant cronyism and enabling behavior from the Board of Directors and the CEO's
management group of Aspire is inexcusable. How excessive spending could occur and not be checked at
the onset is nothing short of incompetence to a Ieveii believe is criminal. Where is the money going?
I have asked that question and am ignored. The company is accountable to the public, to the state and
federal regulatory agencies. This merger is greater than three years under the direction of the same CEO. Aspire should not be in this avoidable predicament.
At a recent retirement celebration Dick Jacobs has acknowledged he too will be retiring in 18
months or less. I believe he already has. He has been absent to avoid the crisis that Aspire has entered. I
believe he has been allowed an excess of trust by the Board of Directors who frankly have no idea either of what to do nor have held him accountable. How could the Board of Directors let this happen?
Aspire needs immediate intervention with an impartial person or governing group to reorganize,
restructure and implement a recovery plan. Too much is at stake. I implore you to investigate how this organization could get to this state, represent the consumers of Aspire services and retain the group of
talented caregivers that are the true heroes of healthcare today, not a corporate yes person.
I can recite many examples of dedication and care Aspire staff provides. It is Aspire staff that
make the patient treatment outcome successful, it was Aspire staff that were one of the many groups
there in the early morning for the victims and families of the Pulse night club massacre. Now, please be there for Aspire, the patients served and the staff that make a difference in their lives every day.
