VI.B Consideration of Sandhills Center Resolution by Counties to Expand Board of Directors Cardinal Innovations is dissolving and merging into Vaya LME/MCO which has created concerns for the counties. The Davidson and Rockingham Counties Board of Commissioners and County staff have had conversations with the Sandhills Center Board of Directors and Executive Leadership regarding potential realignment with the Sandhills Center. Davidson County Commissioners voted on June 22, 2021 to disengage from Cardinal Innovations to pursue the Sandhills Center. On July 19, 2021, the Rockingham County Commissioners voted to disengage from Cardinal Innovations and pursue Sandhills Center. On August 6, 2021 the NC DHHS Secretary approved both requests from the counties to realign with the Sandhills Center with an effective date of December 1, 2021. Sandhills Center has requested a resolution from the Lee County Board of Commissioners approving the addition and realignment of both counties to the Sandhills Center catchment area. NC Statutes limit the number of voting members of an LME/MCO Board of Directors to 21 members. Sandhills Center is currently at that maximum membership, leaving no vacant county board seats to distribute to Davidson and Rockingham County. This would mean that the current county board seat allocations would have to be redistributed in order to ensure all constituent counties are represented on the governing body. The proposed resolution also requests a statutory exemption to expand the number of voting Board members of the Sandhills Center Board of Directors. Commissioner Reives expressed concerns regarding the addition of the Counties and the availability of the services provided by the Sandhills Center and requested to table the item for further discussion on October 4, 2021.
