On July 1, 2019, this waiver responsibility was shifted to community centered boards.The purpose/goal of this waiver is to provide in-home supports to families with children with intellectual and developmental disabilities who are exhibiting very challenging behavioral or medical needs.Providers of services is a very huge obstacle for this program's goal of keeping the children in the natural home. TRE' s staff are working very hard in developing relationships with providers outside of our service area with the hope of expanding opportunities for families.OLD BUSINESSNone.PUBLIC COMMENTSNone.SCHEDULE OF NEXT MEETINGThe next Board of Director's meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, November 20, 2019at 7:30 am at The Resource Exchange.ADJOURN REGULAR MEETINGThe regular meeting was adjourned into executive session at 8:55 am.

It is very important that TRE have 100% Board participation. Thank you.Finance and Investment CommitteeHeather Whitworth, CFO reported that on-going review of financial statements has resulted in several changes to how reporting of payments from the State for single entry point services are being reported. These funds will now be shown in deferred revenue until the actual services/projects are provided/completed. Due to this change, revenue for year-to-date dropped to approximately $158,000.For the month of October 2019, TRE shows a loss of approximately $315,000, mainly due to Single Entry Point funds reporting changes explained above.CFO Whitworth referenced changes to grant reporting guidelines from Generally Acceptable Accounting Principles (GAAP). To be considered a grant for fund ing purposes and revenue recognition, there must be ve1y distinct milestones that must be met. This would then allow revenue to be deferred to the next fiscal year if necessary. The grant from Colorado Springs Health Foundation cannot be considered a grant. It must be reported as a contribution, therefore all of the funds for the first year were recognized in FY2017. The expenses and revenue will not match in the financial statements due to this. The expenses were incurred in FY2018 and part in FY2019.The group was also reminded that the months of November through February usually show a drop in targeted case management (TCM) revenue due to staff holidays and families cancelling appointments.The Receivables for October 20!9 are higher due to payment timing. TRE awaits payment on two larger invoices for Early Intervention (EI) services. Work also continues on Targeted Case Management (TCM) claims from July and issues associated with rate changes in the Medicaid system.FY20 Early Intervention Services contract should be released in early January 2020.

Revenues were expectedly lower due to the Thanksgiving holiday.One correction to prior month's report of a credit entry of $12,000 under Dues and Publications. This was coded incorrectly in a prior month and has been corrected.Vacancy savings are being realized which shows in the Salaries line item. Case Management has been working very hard on filling open positions.CFO Whitworth reviewed Purchase of Services line items. The following programs are purchase of services transactions (home modifications, equipment purchases, transportation): Medicaid-Comprehensive, Children's Extensive Services, Medicaid Supported Living Services and State Supported Living Services. TRE does not provide any services directly. TRE bills for the service provided by others and then pays those providers. Due to timing of transactions, the expenses and revenue are not always booked in time for monthly financial reports. Due to this, the remainder of purchase of services' expenses is booked to balance reports due to these programs being zero based programs.4 1 The Resource ExchangeBoard of Directors' Meeting MinutesDecember 18, 2019Audits - Work continues on both audits.

This relates to the comprehensive services waiver which is the only waiver left with an existing waiting list for services. This bill requests funding that would end that wait list. The cost for this is estimated at $25 million and the Joint Budget Committee (JBC) will be asked to carry this bill.The Resource Exchange is a supporter of this proposed legislation. CEO Batchelor has met with several members of our delegation and discussion was held on this as a foundation for future waiver adjustments and consolidation due to Colorado's waivers system being so complex.Alliance Colorado - CEO Batchelor added that TRE is once again being comied to become a member of Alliance Colorado, a statewide association of CCBs and PASAs. The evaluation of benefits to TRE versus the cost is being evaluated now.Early Intervention Services Budget for Fiscal Year 2020 - CEO Batchelor reported that an amended budget was submitted to the Department of Human Services/EI Colorado on December 23, 2019. To date, TRE has not received a response from them.Health Integration Manager - Ryan Kerner was introduced to the group. This position is new to TRE and will focus on the integration of health care with the long term services already provided by TRE. Through the grant from the Colorado Springs Health Foundation, TRE is looking at how all systems might work better together in order to improve access to culturally competent and integrated health care for all people receiving services from TRE.Leadership Work Groups Updates -These work groups all interconnect with each other. The Core Business Model group is looking at what service areas TRE should focus on as an organization, what skill sets are needed as an organization to be successful and how to fill any gaps.As Colorado moves towards Case Management Agencies, No Wrong Door, Conflict Free Case Management and considering the fact that rural Colorado struggles to find adequate resources or personnel, TRE could have the potential to fill some of those needs.The Resource ExchangeBoard of Directors' Meeting MinutesJanuary 15, 2020This work group is also looking at ways to be more effective and efficient and ensure that our work truly meets the mission of the organization and individuals we support. Andthat it is also sustainable and possible to replicate and expand.Staff Retention and Training Work Group's focus is on how TRE improves its retention of quality, honest, and competent staff. This group is analyzing what TRE needs at the individual level in staff, what competencies, skills and knowledge are needed. TRE will develop a plan to build our capacity associated with a curriculum that offers a variety of learning methodologies for all.This work group also identified the organizational needs, i.e., clear, consistent policies/procedures and guidelines; effective leadership who understand the systems in which we operate, understand adult learning and motivation and also understand reflective leadership techniques; effective organizational communication; promotes an overall culture of learning that integrates the future of advanced information technology with our work; have a willingness to look at things differently to include work/life balance; and encourage partnerships and collaboration that are team focused.CEO Batchelor will send the slides presented today to all Board members.Building Work Group (separate group from the Board's Building Group) is focusing on what TRE needs in relation to actual space at 6385 Corporate Drive.

Currently, six questions that help form mission, vision, values and the way we operate are being discussed in great and fascinating detail.Research Center - The group was congratulated on their most recent publication on multi-sensory environments.6385 Corporate Drive LLC - The group met with representatives from Olive Real Estate for an update on leasing activity. There is a group that is potentially interested in a short? term lease that could be a good bridge as TRE considers how to move forward with the use of the building. There are also several other interested in leasing space but not in an immediate need status. TRE continues to work with Olive Real Estate on pursuing any interest.7The Resource ExchangeBoard of Directors' Meeting MinutesJanuary 15, 2020NEW BUSINESSFutures ' Update - Chair Hallock provided a brief review of the intent of the Futures' program. It was developed as a social enterprise and how to support the people we serve with their educational and vocational goals. Futures contracted with the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) to create new job development opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Unfortunately, the model was not totally successful due to slow referrals to the program and parameters set by DVR.Nicholas Robertson provided an overview of activities to date to refocus this program on areas that TRE could leverage to once again focus on career opportunities for the people we serve.The first activity is to leverage relationships with those agencies already providing job development/support for the people we serve which mainly consists of school districts' transition programs and DVR at this time.Another activity is to involve school transition teams and other partners with the interdisciplinmy teams to help develop a true plan on how to meet the person's goals for employment.Also needed is the actual training of TRE staff to better understand and interact with the different partners to plan for the educational and vocational goals of the person in services.

This will assist leadership in determining what organizational and process changes may be needed to maximize payments and continue to meet the individual needs of people served under these contracts.Budget preparation work is currently focusing on the expense side of the process. It is hoped that a very preliminary budget can be presented to the Finance and Investment Committee on May 18. Leadership is preparing the budget with the assumption of flat funding and very little staffing increases. True revenue projections may not be known until late May or early June. It is also possible that HCPF and CDHS will issue Option Letters to extend the current fiscal year contracts for a few months. CFO Whitworth noted that due to the changes in funding mechanisms and the State's response to revenue forecasts due to COVID 19 that the budget for Fiscal Year 2020-21 may need to be revised in, at least, the first quarter of the new fiscal year.Legislative CommitteeSarah Jack, Committee Chair reminded the group that the general assembly is slated to return to session on May 18. It is anticipated that they will focus on school finance and approval of the budget for next fiscal year. They may also address Family Leave and Public Option legislation.CEO Batchelor added that new state revenue projections should be received around May 12.Nominating CommitteeMs.Jack, ·committee Chair addressed the reason the agenda for today's meeting was amended regarding the presentation of nominations for the Vice Chair position on the Board of Directors. According to TRE's By-laws, the Nominating Committee should present the slate of nominations for officers of the Board of Directors for FY2020-21 and also nominate those members who are up for a second term. l11is information must be presented to the Board of Directors at least thirty days prior to voting.lfanyone has nominations, questions or comments, please contact Ms. Jack. A Nominating Committee meeting will be scheduled in the very near future. Current members of the Committee are Sarah Jack, Carolyn Wharton, Julia Melendez. and Judith Light. Heidi Brandon volunteered to serve as well.Social Enterprise CommitteeChris Cipoletti, Committee Chair stated that review work continues regarding the concept of a co-working space in 6385 Corporate Drive. No other ventures are being brought forward at this time due to COVID 19.The Resource ExchangeBoard of Directors· Meeting MinutesApril 15.2020TRE CEO Search CommitteeChair Hartje reported that moving forward with an offer is on pause at this time. Chair Hartje added that she continues to keep the candidate updated on TRE activities.Executive CommitteeChair Hartje stated that most topics will be covered in the CEO's report. The Committee set the agenda for today's meeting and discussed State directives and information on COVID 19.VI.CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S REPORT6385 Corporate Drive LLC - Scheel 's Corporation is still on schedule to move in around May 1. (9000 SF). Don Gray, Facilities Manager will meet with them on April 24 to review their final tenant finish plan which includes removing cubicles, creating a couple of training rooms and installing doors to limit access to their area from the second floor common space.The Classic Companies still plan to be totally moved by April 30. This will impact rent and common area revenue for the building. (34,000 SF)Dr. Haas has requested a deferment in paying May and June rent due to their office being shut down due to COVID 19. These amounts will be repaid beginning in July over the next six months. CAMs will be paid during the deferment time.Olive Real Estate Group provided information that a broker from Denver is looking for space for a company that is potentially interested in approximately I 0,000 SF. Conversations also continue with a realty firm that are interested in approximately 14,000 SF beginning in 2021 for a 5-7 years lease. This company was once interested in purchasing the second floor of the building. A walk-through is tentatively beingscheduled for next week with this possible tenant to view the space available on the 3rdfloor.TRE will very soon re-evaluate its needs for space. The COVID I 9 pandemic that forced TRE to move more quickly than anticipated to a more flexible tele-commuting/working from home model will most likely change the amount of space that TRE will need for permanent office space.Olive representatives have continued to suggest significant and costly tenant finish on the second floor. TRE has again informed them that this is not an option at this time and does not align with the long-tenn vision for the building. Olive also inquired as to whether TRE may be interested in selling the entire building since the organization does not anticipate utilizing as much space as had been anticipated when the building was purchased. It was shared with them that TRE's Board considers all options for the building but is not interested in selling at this time.The Resource ExchangeBoard of Directors· Meeting MinutesApril 15. 2020The group was also informed that the listing agreement with Olive Real Estate expires at the end of October 2020. This will be revisited in the July timeframe to begin evaluating all options.Bank of San Juans -The line of credit for the building was renewed with the Bank of San Juans.Colleen Batchelor, Interim CEO then recognized the amazing partnership with the Bank of San Juans, particularly Jesse Spaeth, in collaborating with TRE to support general operations on the loan for the building and in assisting TRE with the submittal of the SBA's Payroll Protection Program loan application.TI1anks to the Board of Directors, CFO Whitworth and staff for the quick action/work in preparing for this loan application.It was suggested to send a thank you note from the Board of Directors to the Bank of San Juans.COVID 19 and Impacts -Inthe Early Intervention (EI) program, there is a reduction in referrals due to physicians' offices being closed to well check appointments. Those that are referred are being seen for evaluations via a virtual evaluation to determine eligibility and then will be followed-up with an in-person assessment of need at a later time.Currently, more than 90% of families receiving EI services have agreed to tele? intervention services. EI billings are at approximately 2/3rds of what is normal, due to sessions not being as long as in-person visits and no travel time being billed.It is hoped that this period will benefit our staff with identifying ways to deliver services more efficiently. It is hoped that TRE will be able to offer more services via tele? intervention to the more rural areas of southeastern Colorado where capacity tends to be an issue.The Single Entry Point (SEP) and Community Centered Board (CCB) billings are at approximately 90% of normal each week. The staff have all quickly adapted to working remotely and obtaining needed signatures, etc. via electronic means. Responses from people receiving services and provider agencies have been positive regarding the timeliness ofresponses from TRE staff.It was noted that targeted case management (TCM) services for many of TRE clients are reaching their cap limit. Services will be continued as necessary but TRE will not be able to be paid for these supports.CEO Batchelor then provided an update on the Family First Coronavirus Relief Act (FFCRA). TRE has fifteen staff who are accessing this benefit mainly due to child care and/or homeschooling necessities.7 1 The Resource ExchangeBoard of Directors· Meeting MinutesApril 15. 2020TRE has had two staff that have showed symptoms of the virus since the Stay at Home Order was implemented, indicating they did not contract the virus through workactivities. However, TRE has worked with these staff to determine if they had any contact with other TRE staff during the identified watch period.TRE Leadership has begun planning for staff transition back from the Stay at Home Order. It is anticipated that the transition will be gradual due to continued school closures and potential restrictions for groups gathering. Leadership is currently interacting with our teams to ask l) what has worked well working remotely; 2) what have been challenges experienced; 3) what equipment/space/support does staff need moving forward; and 4) what are the fears involved with returning to the office or to work in the community and home.FY2020-2l Budget Preparation - EI budget has been submitted to the Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS) with a 5% increase. Funding for services in the SEP and CCB contracts with Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) are dramatically changing. Preparation work for these changes include process changes and organizational changes to maximize funding for services while focusing on the quality of these services/supports to the individuals TRE supports.HCPF has promised a billing manual (not yet received) that outlines the activities/ categories that can be billed/reported for payment. Most activities will be paid on a per member/per month basis (which in the past had been billed for in 15-minutes increments (TCM)). It has not yet been determined what data will be used to drive payment for these activities. The number of contract deliverables will increase over past years which requires more administrative work.Due to the short time provided for the organization to operationalize the funding methodology changes, conservative revenue projections are being used for the first quarter and will gradually build into the second quarter.Due to both oil/gas/energy prices falling and the economic impact of the COVID responses, revenue projections for Colorado in FY20-21 are $2-3 billion short of what is needed to maintain current spending levels. It is not anticipated that services/supports in our area will be cut but is unknown until the Joint Budget Committee meets and provides an updated budget for the HA Partnership - CEO Batchelor highlighted the partnership with CCHA on one of their incentive programs which could result in approximately $189,000 revenue over the calendar year. This partnership was already producing 80% of the work needed for this program. The program is a collaborative effort between agencies to improve health outcomes for individuals that both agencies support.Microsoft Teams -All Board members have been added to TRE Teams site in order to use the programs offered by Microsoft Office 365. This will enable virtual meetings with TRE staff and also assist in communications agency-wide. This will hopefully reduce the8The Resource ExchangeBoard of Directors· Meeting MinutesApril 15. 2020number of emails being sent. Board members were asked to contact CEO Batchelor if assistance is needed.NEW BUSINESSWelcome New Sta.ff - No new staff.TRE Governing Documents - It was noted that TRE needs to be very observant and cautious about closely following TRE's governing documents.TRE By-Laws have not been reviewed since 2017 and it was felt that Board should review and update (as needed) on at least an annual basis. This item will be added to follow-up in July 2020 for the possible formation of a work group or an on-going committee to review governing documents and provide training to the full Board on an annual basis.OLD BUSINESSMission Statement Committee Update -Director Cipoletti thanked Camille Blakeley, Liz Albo and Sarah Nolan for their work in categorizing the responses to the survey into several themes. The committee will meet in the next several weeks to continue work that involves the development of several mission statement themes for continued feedback from stakeholders.It was also noted that Board members should schedule time to meet directly with' people receiving services in various settings. This type of activity will be added to the Board orientation/traini ng anization Structure Workgroup- Director Cipoletti reported that he and Julia Sands de Melendez attended a recent Leadership Team meeting where team structures were discussed which will enhance communications, work efficiency and decision-making across the agency.A preliminary graph showing the higher level ofleadership in the organizational structure and how self-directed teams could operate was shared. The CEO currently has 13 individuals reporting to her, which creates many challenges in effectively managing the organization in a progressive direction. Once the quarantine is over, the group hopes to continue to move the agency in this new operating direction focusing on strategic and tactical leadership teams. Many of the concepts being shared have been adapted from the book Reinventing Organizations: An Illustrated Invitation to Join the Conversation on next-Stage Organizations.PUBLIC COMMENTS None.SCHEDULE OF NEXT MEETINGThe next Board of Director's meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, May 20, 2020 at 7:30 am at The Resource Exchange.9 1 The Resource ExchangeBoard of Directors· Meeting MinutesApril 15. 2020XLADJOURN REGULAR MEETING INTO EXECUTIVE SESSIONA MOTION WAS MADE BY CHRIS CIPOLETTI, SECONDED BY HEIDI BRJ\.NDON TO ADJOURN THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS' MEETING INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION TO DISCUSSPERSONNEL MATTERS.

Focus will be educating the public on TRE activities during COVID 19 and also a focus on mental health services available.Finance and Investment CommitteeCarolyn Wharton, Treasurer/Secretary and Heather Whitworth, CFO reported.Audits -All audits for Fiscal Year 2019 have been completed. The 990 Form should be complete in the next several weeks.TRE Financial Statements Review - For the month of April 2020, TRE showed a$214,000 profit with Year-To-Date profit of $448,000. CFO Whitworth noted that the rep01ted cash on hand includes the Paycheck Protection Plan loan that was funded on April 10. TRE is still within the eight-week period in gathering information on all necessary expenses that will report against that loan to determine forgiveness amount.Productivity in revenue generating service areas is down but not significantly. Staff are doing a great job in making certain that services/supp01ts are continuing for the people we support.Funders from Colorado Health Foundation allowed $25,000 from cu1Tent grant funds to be allocated to an area within our budget most needed. These funds were used in Early Childhood Mental Health service payment shortages.Mileage expenses showed a huge decrease due to work being done in a vi1tual environment.6385 Corporate Drive LLC Financial Statements Review -The Classic Companies moved out effective April 30, 2020. Therefore, beginning in May the rental income and CAM income will drop. Scheel's Sporting's lease begins in May but is significantly lessthan Classic. TRE does pay rent on one suite on the third floor to assist with cash flow for the building account.4The Resource ExchangeBoard of Directors' Meeting MinutesMay 20, 2020The transition to State Farm Insurance is complete and went well. Thanks again to Chris Cipoletti for making this introduction.The loss of $27,000 for the month of April is mainly due to depreciation which is a non? cash item.Proposed Budgetfor Fiscal Year 2021 - CFO Whitworth reviewed what has been completed while IRE awaits more final contract amounts from the State departments and changes that need to be made due to funding changes and/or operating changes (due to COVID19 experience).The goal is to present a draft budget proposal to TRE's Finance and Investment Committee on June 15 for recommendations to the full Board of Directors at their June 17 meeting. At this time, Leadership feels that there will need to be several budget reviews/revisions during the fiscal year due to State revenue forecasts and changes that could be passed on to community centered boards and early intervention brokers throughout the year.Legislative CommitteeSarah Jack, Committee Chair and Ed Bowditch, IRE Lobbyist reviewed the current activities at the State level to try to balance the State budget proposal in light oflost revenue due to COVID 19 and Oil and Gas crisis. It is estimated that the State budget is out of balance by approximately $3.3 billion. The Joint Budget Committee (JBC) has been looking at every single program to identify areas for cost savings and cuts.Currently there is very strong support from the JBC for programs for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It is proposed that provider rates only be reduced by 1% at this time. No increases will be granted for Early Intervention services even though no children can be turned away for needed services.Most likely the Bills to End the Wait List; to Eliminate Subminimum wage; and Paid Family Leave will not be pushed in this legislative session. The Paid Family Leave legislation measure may be put on the 2020 ballot.The State Legislature plans to reconvene on Tuesday, May 26 for a three-week session to focus on the budget and school finance act.Mr. Bowditch referenced the back pages of his report to the Board on the Gallagher Amendment regarding prope1iy tax rates. This proposed amendment is great news for homeowners, but it will decrease local revenues including County revenues significantly, which in turn will affect funds available for programs throughout the State in Fiscal Year 2022.Nominating CommitteeMs. Jack, Committee Chair referenced the report from the Committee's April 29th meeting outlining recommendations from the Nominating Committee.5 1 The Resource ExchangeBoard of Directors' Meeting MinutesMay 20, 2020In reviewing past information while preparing for current nominations, the Committee found that action was not taken in nominating and electing several members to second terms.Carolyn Wharton has decided to not seek a second te1m.

A Zoom meeting will be set up with the interested party and several Board members.Social Enterprise CommitteeChris Cipoletti, Committee Chair reported that he has met with Colleen Batchelor and Camille Blakely regarding a co-working space concept for the north side of Colorado Springs. A Pro Forma and budget are being developed to determine feasibility of use of space in our building for this venture. The group will hopefully have information to share at the July 15 Board of Directors' meeting.TRE CEO Search CommitteeChair Hartje reported that current members of the committee met on May 7 and determined that additional members are needed for this group to assist in determining the direction for TRE's CEO search. Interested Board members were asked to contact Ms.Hartje by email or phone no later than Friday, May 22 to express interest. The group wasThe Resource ExchangeBoard of Directors' Meeting MinutesMay 20, 2020cautioned that it is likely that not all interested can be considered to keep the conunittee size workable. Heidi Brandon expressed interest.Chair Hartje also indicated that she continues regular contact with cunent candidate to keep him informed on TRE activities and CEO search status.Executive ConunitteeChair Hartje stated that most topics will be covered in the CEO's repo1t. The Committee set the agenda for today's meeting, discussed Board governance and training materials along with the need to establish a Board Training group to assist in keeping the full Board of Directors up-to-date on governance and agency strategic direction work. The group also discussed recognition for past Board members.The group briefly discussed the pros and cons to rejoining Alliance Colorado. CEO Batchelor shared additional information on this group and the benefits of being a member of this statewide group. It is felt that the next two-three years will most likely require the statewide collaboration that Mr. Bowditch provides and that Alliance Colorado could provide as well.Mr. Bowditch shared that the Alliance staff also have much more access/contact with State agency staff than he does in his lobbying activities. CEO Batchelor will send Alliance's cunent handbook which outlines the work they cunently do. The cost for membership is approximately $24,000. Leadership Team will need to determine if this fits within the current budget.CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S REPORT6385 Corporate Drive LLC -A local real estate company is very interested in approximately 15,000SF on the third floor for a 5-7 year lease beginning at the end of the second quarter of 2021. Proposed costs for suggested tenant finishes are being evaluated at this time.Other possible interest in space includes a nursing school (I full floor), law firm (approximately 7,000SF) and another agency (7-10,000 SF on south side of first floor).COVID 19 and Impacts - Colorado Department of Human Services (Early Intervention (El)) continues to direct that virtual means of interacting with clients and families will continue until at least end of June. Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing's (Community Centered Board (CCB) and Single Entry Point (SEP)) directives are less clear but indicate through the first quarter of next fiscal year likely.Colorado Department of Human Services has been asked to cut a percentage of their overall budget for next fiscal year. EI Colorado was not asked to do the same thing but were asked to seek out potential cost containment and budget cut strategies from local programs. TRE's response includes (many already implemented): cunent hiring freeze, freeze future vacant positions, consider cutting back on number of flex staff being used in EI, and continue to build on efforts of tele-health appointments/services.The Resource ExchangeBoard of Directors' Meeting MinutesMay 20, 2020The funding methodology for SEP and CCB services is changing in the new fiscal year. Instead of billing in 15-minute increments for case management activities, TRE will now bill in single units for different deliverables that HCPF defines. In order to become more efficient, reduce overhead and still provide quality services, TRE must shift many processes cun-ently in place. Several meetings with HCPF to discuss this new methodology are in the near future. It is hoped that better clarification will be provided during these meetings.A hiring freeze is also in place for SEP and CBB staff. As processes and roles are likely to shift to meet the new demands, it is hoped to protect cun-ent staff positions by making needed shifts in job responsibilities instead oflayoffs.Turnover Data - CEO Batchelor then reviewed last year's turnover data versus the cun-ent third quarter data with the group and discussed cun·ent agency staff retention strategies to continue to address this area.Isolation Concernsfor Staff and Clients - A question was raised as to how our staff may be interacting with clients experiencing isolation and challenges related to that. Our Provider Agencies most closely interact with our clients on a more regular basis and interact with this challenge. Also, some of our customers may express and/or participate more in virtual environments due to not being intimidated or overwhelmed. Also, phone calls and/or viltual meetings are sometimes longer due to the desire to continue to interact with each other. Service Coordinators are offering assistance to clients and to provider agencies in accessing suppo1ts for anyone experiencing challenges related to isolation.EI Budget Response -Due to the amount of growth experienced by this program each year, programs are asked for cost containment strategies. One area that CDHS is proposing is to cut the eligibility criteria from 25% to 33% in one area. This will require a mle change and potentially an emergency rule change will be sought to speed up this implementation. Children refen-ed to TRE with a speech delay will be most impacted by this change. Other areas of cost containment strategies include requiring Medicaid to cover all EI services which would add the federal match dollars to this reimbursement, setting Admin Cap Rates, establishing state provider rates, and issuing an RFP for EI Brokers. This last option is the least desired by CDHS/OEC as it would create significant disruption to the system and would not provide the cost reductions being sought.NEW BUSINESSNone.OLD BUSINESSMission Statement Committee Update - Director Cipoletti reported that the committee voted on various proposed statements.

These funds were used to pay off the equipment leases for SEP staff.Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2021 - CFO Whitworth reviewed the budget proposal and emphasized that this budget year will be very fluid due to expected revenue changes. The proposed budget shows a deficit budget of $639,865.68. It is anticipated that the Paycheck Protection Program loan forgiveness funds will be recognized in FY202 l to assist in the cost of salaries due to revenue reduction.The Early Invention (EI) program anticipates at least a one percent (1%) cut in revenue for health care allowance (HCA) and EI services. EI Colorado also requested that TRE identify more extensive savings across the programs as the CDHS has been asked to find 10% cost savings across the department. TRE's proposal for these additional cuts has been submitted.State General Fund and Medicaid Waiver Service Coordination funding methodology is changing for FY21. TRE continues to wait for confirmation from HCPF on whether the rates for this new funding methodology will remain intact. The new funding resembles a fee for service methodology. TRE will be paid for certain required activities.Unfortunately, it does not appear that full Administrative Costs are covered in this new methodology.4The Resource ExchangeBoard of Directors' Meeting Minutesune 17, 2020In reviews to date, it appears that the Community Centered Board (CCB) revenue contracted amount is decreasing by approximately twenty-five percent (25%). This is consistent across CCBs in Colorado. The SEP contract shows an increase. The bottom line of both contracts combined still shows a significant decrease in overall revenue for TRE.Once the Long Bill is signed by Governor Polis, it is hoped that HCPF will quickly share established rates, etc, The proposed budget is based on FY20 funding and new information shared to date.CFO Whitworth noted changes in the following revenue areas:Community Engagement grant revenue is now being reported in the categories/areas that grant monies will be used,Futures is no longer a stand-alone program and is now reported under Service Coordination/Case Management.Service Coordination and Navigation/Quality will most likely take most of the first quaiter to determine how best to maximize revenue from the new funding mechanisms, repo1ts required for payment, etc.No investment income funds are included.CFO Whitworth then reviewed proposals to the expense areas:Continue hiring freeze. To be evaluated each month to determine critical position needs,Eliminated 19 currently vacant positions from FY20.Thirteen positions are included in the budget but will not be filled until at least the third and fourth quarters of FY2 l , so those salaries are prorated for paitial year expense.Eliminated one position in the Business Office that is a non-revenue generating position.Only cunently vacant position canied over is unfilled CEO position.EI Flex Staff (those not guaranteed a set number of hours) will become inactive until caseload and funding waiTants use of flex positions. A few flex positions remain in the budget where it is necessary to provide services in rural areas or where CUITent part-time and full-time staff lack the expe1tise required for the service.Will reduce the use of contracted providers in EI unless necessary to support rural areas of specific required expertise.Eliminated two administrative positions in ELEliminated a flex position in Family Support Services Program (FSSP).Furlough of one week in each of the first two quarters of TRE Leadership staff.No pay increase for staff.I 0.8% increase in medical and dental benefits which was shared with employees. Cost share of these benefits was moved to a more traditional method of percentage of premium paid by employer/employee vs a flat rate.5The Resource ExchangeBoard of Directors' Meeting MinutesJune 17, 2020Request to maintain cunent agency match for TRE's 40l(k) program. The match is 2.5% up to the first 6% of income -which calculates to 4.167% match. (will require separate approval by TRE's Board of Directors).Staff development funds were not included, except where necessary due to compliance requirements. Hoping to utilize in-house expertise for staff trainings and professional development.Equipment leases included only for equipment that will age-out during FY2 l .Establish shared working areas in the office for staff that are mostly working remotely and reduce overall space necessary for TRE business.Mileage was reduced for the first six months of budget in response to current requirements for virtual services. Will reimburse at the State of Colorado rate of$0.55/mi!e instead of the Federal rate of $0.575/mile.CFO continued to review other expense items:Budgeted moving expenses due to TRE relocating within the building. This will most likely include moving IT assets (data, cabling, servers).Budgeted PPE safety equipment.Copier leases continue through FY2021 and 2022. Need will be evaluated as lease exp!l'es.Capital expense needs include:the purchase of new EMR software program. Medisked is not perfo1ming as needed for the entire organization. Will hopefully move forward with implementation in the third and fourth quarters of FY202 l.Server replacement. Early Intervention Billing and Accounting software is not able, at this time, to move to a cloud-based environment. Research will continue to hopefully identify sufficient cloud-based programs in these areas.Leadership shared that work will continue to identify resources and improved processes coming from staff-based solutions that will help reduce the proposed deficit. Additional research on available grants will be done and TRE will apply for all that are within our areas of need.A concern was noted on staffing levels. The Leadership Team was encouraged to evaluate the hiring freeze and need for additional staff on at least a monthly basis.Discussion was held on new guidelines for the Paycheck Protection Program. It was decided to add a line item showing the Paycheck Protection Program's anticipated revenue (at least in the amount of the proposed deficit).CFO Whitworth was asked to provide a breakdown of how the Paycheck Protection Program funds were expended (focus on staffing levels). This will be reviewed at the July 2020 Finance and Investment Committee meeting and the Board of Directors' meeting.A MOTION WAS MADE BY JULIA SANDS de MELENDEZ, SECONDED BY HEIDI BRANDON TO APPROVE THE FY2021 BUDGET AS AMENDED WITH6The Resource ExchangeBoard of Directors' Meeting MinutesJune 17, 2020THE ADDITION OF A LINE ITEM SHOWING PROPOSED REVENUE FROM THE PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM LOAN FORGIVENESS IN THEAMOUNT OF $639,865.68.

A Pro Forma and budget are being developed to determine feasibility of use of space in our building for this venture. The group will hopefully have a plan to share during the 1" Quarter of the new fiscal year.TRE CEO Search CommitteeChair Hartje informed the group that this will be discussed in Executive Session with information being shared as the end of the meeting.Executive CommitteeChair Hartje stated that most topics will be covered in the CEO' s report. The Committee set the agenda for today's meeting and Leadership Team member changes with Jen DeFranco's resignation.CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S REPORTColleen Batchelor, Interim CEO asked if there were any questions on her submitted report. None were presented.Due to events at TRE over the past several weeks, the group discussed systemic racism, prejudice, equality and discrimination. Ms. Batchelor started the conversation by stating that the discussions over the past two weeks could have been handled better. It is believed that the intentions of these online conversations were misunderstood. Full support of varying perspectives was an objective of the proposed strategies, but many felt the conversation was being avoided. Ms. Batchelor met with several individual staff who shared perspective and helped evolve thoughts on the direction the organization should take.An update was sent to staff and Board of Directors on Monday to share Ms. Batchelor's thoughts and TRE's plans to move forward. Since the initial conversations did not result in a thoughtful, unified agency response, it is hoped that a conversation at this level might provide additional patience, clarity, education and tolerance of all viewpoints. Steps that TRE will take include:TRE will make a public statement (internal and external) that TRE will not tolerate any instances of systemic racism, prejudice, or discrimination in the workplace.TRE will invite interested staff to join a facilitated conversation/work group to drive the discussion on what the issues are at TRE, what currently works well, what doesn't work well, and to develop recommendations for the agency to consider and implement (strategic and value-driven plans, action steps, trainings that embrace the diverse culture at TRE).Ms. Batchelor informed the group that she has met with several potential facilitators/consultants to assist with discussions, action plans. Etc. It is the intent that this group will be convened within the next several weeks.gThe Resource ExchangeBoard of Directors' Meeting MinutesJune 17, 2020It was also recommended that the Board of Directors participate in this work, in the work group, and identify actions that they can take to better represent leadership for the agency and community in these areas.A question was raised on any issues (now or past) at TRE and how they were handled. It is not felt or understood that any specific situations have occurred nor that it exists at TRE. However, it must be clear and emphasized that discrimination of any kind is not acceptable and is something that staff know the procedures and feel safe to report. Itwas recognized that TRE's Board of Directors or staff probably don't have the needed expertise to recognize when potential issues exist. TRE must also be thoughtful in how it responds as an employer to any issues such as these being experienced now.Most felt that TRE should not take on every societal issue, especially based on the agency's mission and the people that we support. However, it is important that TRE take a stand on human rights issues where people are marginalized, discriminated and not safe in our community and nation.It was decided that the Board of Directors will support Leadership in drafting an agency statement of suppmt to be published on our social media platforms before the end of the week.NEW BUSINESSThank You - The Board of Directors and staff thanked Carolyn Wharton for her support and dedication to TRE over the past years.TRE Bylaws Review Work Group - The following members of the Board of Directors were thanked for volunteering to review and update TRE's Bylaws - Sarah Brittain Jack, Dave Paul and Chris Cipoletti. The group will begin work in the next several weeks and hope to be completed by mid-September.OLD BUSINESSMission Statement Committee Update -Director Cipoletti referred the group to the several draft statements that were sent via email earlier this week. Several felt that the statement should include more heart, describe what TRE does behind the connections provided (enrich lives, help with pursuit of a meaningful life).Camille stated that the group intentionally developed statements that didn't have emotional, marketing language because once a mission statement is approved, staff will develop a shotter tag line. A Vision Statement will also be developed that is more aspirational and future driven.The committee was tasked with developing at least one different statement with more emotion prior to sending to stakeholders for anization Structure Workgroup -No updates at this time.. .9The Resource ExchangeBoard of Directors' Meeting Minutes June 17, 2020PUBLIC COMMENTS None.ADJOURN REGULAR MEETINGA MOTION WAS MADE BY DEENA HARTJE, SECONDED BY CHRIS CIPOLETTI TO ADJOURN THE REGULAR MEETING INTO EXECUTIVESESSION TO DISCUSS PERSONNEL ISSUES.
