Well, second, that motion. [0:27] We have a quorum, correct, for the record? Yes, yes. Great. Thank you. [0:41] Can I get adoption? Can I get a motion for the adoption of the minutes, please? Also moved. [0:49] I'll stick with that. [0:52] All in favor. [1:10] Next week, I'll go on a personal [1:20] report by Ms. John Carroll. [1:31] And that's one [1:34] thing to see [3:14] people having to be quarantined. [3:48] Ms. Carroll, you may have just answered this. [3:50] I may have just not heard you in the fully over the phone. [3:53] But so in the case of like, we had [4:00] a pre-substantial comp time [4:01] with a heavy case load. [4:03] And then a couple of [4:07] days kind of cover for each other [4:09] when someone takes a lot of comp. [4:17] And [4:55] then for Child Protective Services, it's the kind of the same thing I see with like [5:00] Read one employee that had six, you know, a case load of six, you know, 35 hours, and then a couple other employees that a case load of zero, do they kind of fill in for each other? When that happens? That they would, you've done that they were out, you know, due to COVID. I mean, yeah, I don't know the reasons, but I see like, you know, a comp time of 35 hours, you know, with a case load of six, and then a couple other employees, three others, or five others, actually, that have a, you know, [5:29] of compound zero, and then two that have a case lit of zero, would they kind of cover [5:35] each other? [5:36] Which one are like, what happens with those six children? [5:39] I assume, you know, a child sexist, those six children, if someone takes, you know, more [5:43] than, you know, depending on the situation, I guess it would, it would depend. [5:49] Yes, and what you're asking out, Paula, John? [5:51] Yes, definitely. [5:53] I mean, if somebody's out even for a day, I mean, if there's contact, if they have, they [5:58] or need to be made, you know, to other workers. [6:02] Right. [6:02] That's what you're talking about. [6:04] Yeah. [6:05] Yeah. [6:05] That answers the question. [6:06] And I guess the child in this case would kind of know how to get in touch with someone. [6:15] Or is that worth it? [6:18] Yeah. [6:18] The client or the family would know how to get in touch with Dave Day. [6:22] He's got familiar with the supervisor normally. [6:28] And if something comes up, he's on to go out and check them. [6:34] I'm wondering if I'm going to say it in that room. [6:37] Yeah. [6:37] That makes sense. Thank you, Mr. Curve. [6:43] Thank you, John. [6:45] All right, thanks for going to help the budget by Ms. Pam. [6:49] For the five-month standard November 30th, 2020, [6:54] on page two, you'll see a contribution from general fund [6:58] for the administrative expenses at 41.6%, [7:01] and this is exactly on budget [7:03] that's where we should be right at five months. [7:08] Then on page three, at the bottom of the page, [7:10] You'll see your contribution from General Fund for Programme is at 37.3, which is under budget, [7:17] about 4.3% under budget, but for administrative and a little under for our program, the only [7:25] line in our administrative expenses, which start on page 4, [7:33] was not over last month, which [7:34] actually they're on page 5, and [7:38] that in due to, we pay that up front there, quarterly payment [7:44] for our posted funds, and we deposit it in, and it's used as needed, and the same way [7:48] with our Reynolds and that's [7:53] 42 lines or the [7:57] over-last month. [8:05] The only line, you know, all of our programs [8:07] that under-over-lastment is our A to the blind, [8:12] which is on [8:15] special worker for the blind child [8:31] here for a bus care. [9:01] Yeah, that's our social worker for the blind. [9:31] Yeah, they just charge. [10:00] The same thing here, no significant changes from the month before, like it has been for this year anyway. That's been what it means. But again, there's just a couple of things unusual. The policy code has been like that. [12:16] We're not having, I don't know, can't agree with the wrong side, [12:21] any clients. [15:20] I'm sorry. Can I? Do we have a way of verifying, and I don't know if this is controversial or not? Is there a way to know that when we get positive test results, but it's actually the COVID strain and not the seasonal flu? Is there a way to know that when we get positive test results, but it's actually the COVID strain and not the seasonal flu? [15:35] Do we work with the Health Department of Health and Human Services or how do we? [15:50] For negative, [15:55] you know, that's a [15:58] positive or negative for the folks. [16:01] Right. [16:02] So we don't really know what they do. [16:09] Yeah, they do say that [16:12] they're related to [16:16] return. [16:16] We don't require a negative test. [16:28] We just have something and [16:31] we can return back to work after, I think it's going to be around [16:35] the end of the year. [16:35] We wanted [16:45] to share the numbers for November while we had [18:30] counted. [20:00] You know, what's the safe number of staff to be here to supervise? Sometimes it can be more than one child at a time. So, finally, the state sort of paid some attention to this, and they've developed a behavioral health response team, and it's an interdepartmental respond, [20:17] division of civil service, [21:32] and it takes some... [25:00] We will call it by, to provide, you know, a site. [25:06] One example that I remember this is at 16-year-old, I think, that weighed [25:14] like three, [26:49] like, that one, another similar to it. Do we not get the law enforcement involved? [27:44] It's very concerning that, you know, we would, I guess, just part of the system that, you know, our social workers, and especially, you know, female social workers would be at, you know, would be put in a position of danger. [27:58] in a situation like it seems like there's got to be a better way of doing that. [28:05] Yeah, yeah, I agree. [28:08] I've often been cold. [30:00] Thank you, Lauren. All right. Next, we're going to have Ms. Canvey on the economic approach. [30:07] I have a lot of changes to restore jobs. I've been that big interest review. They have been easy to finish this year. [30:15] So next year, we'll thank this in that area. And so we're going to go to a gentleman and change job duty, people in and out. But we continue to have around 2,000 people. [30:40] I'm out of it in that week and maybe resignations for people who are very paid to come. [30:48] I just want to give you just kind of a niche. [30:51] In the pandemic, EDT, we get here from USDA that they will be eligible for nice for this. [30:58] We don't know if it's going to be a little bit different than it's been in the past. [31:12] You've got the letter about the EDT [32:20] in Washington. [35:00] We've had several customers that came or called and said they received letters and they were approved for a $1.00 amount. That was good, right? Tell them to bring it to the letter to us so we can make a copy of it in total their accounts. [35:15] Yeah, I'm not that sure when those checks latch like I allow [35:20] to do me three, four. [35:23] I should go out, Kim's work on the spreadsheet right now, [35:26] so it shouldn't be within the next two weeks or so. [35:28] We've got to do it, you know? [35:39] Yeah. [35:40] I'll see you sometime in the next. [35:42] I'm going to say, or I think it doesn't mind you spending [35:45] you [40:00] I think it was $170, maybe. [40:13] Next, we will have a adjourned. Letter [40:22] with you about the mobile [40:23] up to the [41:12] ground, we shall have support [41:21] in the end of the day to get it. [42:55] I'll second the motion.
