Consideration of FY 18-19 MOU between the Department of Health and Human Services and Lee County. Session Law 2017-41 requires all counties to enter into an annual written agreement with the Department of Health and Human Services for all social services programs excluding medical assistance (Medicaid) to begin in FY 18-19. The law requires the agreement to contain certain performance requirements and administrative responsibilities related to the social services programs. Social Services Direct Angelina Noel stated that the MOU outlines the responsibilities of both NC Department of Health and Human Services and Lee County. She provided that there are several concerns related to the feasibility of compliance with the defined performance standards. In the event the county fails to satisfy performance measures, the MOU sets forth steps that allow DHHS to place the county DSS under corrective action. DHHS will not initiate any actions related to the mandated performance requirements until January 1, 2019. According to the MOU, the County DSS and DHHS will work together to address all issues identified in the performance improvement plan. In the event the county DSS continues to fail to satisfy performance requirements or comply with the MOU for an extended period of time, DHHS has the authority to withhold federal and/or state funding. In the event of extended non-compliance or other urgent matters, the Secretary may exercise her statutory authority to assume control of service delivery in the county according to North Carolina General Statute Section 108A-74. State law requires the execution of this agreement. Commissioner Knecht suggested adding comments and sending them to the State Representatives. Commissioner Reives moved to authorize the County Manager to sign the Memorandum of Understanding and include a letter noting concerns from County staff. Commissioner Dalrymple directed staff to send the letter to State Representatives as well. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Page 518
