CARDINAL INNOVATIONS HEALTHCARE SOLUTIONS — Community Oversight Board By resolution as a result of new legislation, the Boards of County Commissioners of Alamance, Cabarrus, Caswell, Chatham, Davidson, Franklin, Granville, Halifax, Orange, Person, Rowan, Stanly, Union, Vance and Warren Counties agreed to be served by a single Area Authority operating as a Managed Care Organization with a governance structure that will function under existing law, as well as under the new governance legislation. It is in the interest of the public health and welfare to create an Area Authority to operate North Carolina's 1915(b)/(c) Medicaid Waiver as a Managed Care Organization and to manage all public resources that may become available for mental health, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and substance abuse services, including federal block grant funds, federal funding for Medicaid and Health Choice, and all other public funding sources. The Community Oversight Board (COB) is part of Cardinal Innovations Healthcare Solutions' governance structure. The COB consists of three (3) members from each County, appointed by each County's Board of Commissioners, and will include a County Commissioner or designee, a consumer or family member, and another citizen or stakeholder; and one (1) member from the Local Consumer and Family Advisory Committee, either the Chair or other elected official. Appointments are for terms of three years. CONCORD PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION The Commission guides, reviews and regulates land developments within and around the boundaries of the City of Concord. The County Commissioners appoint one member who resides in Concord's extraterritorial jurisdiction area for a term of three years. COUNCIL FOR A SUSTAINABLE LOCAL ECONOMY (CSLE) The CSLE is charged with performing research and analysis, educating the community, developing strategies and making policy recommendations that encourage the development of a resilient, robust and sustainable local economy in which entrepreneurs and creativity thrive and the community prospers. The CSLE is given discretion in fulfilling its charge; however, it is specifically directed to address the following: 1. To the extent possible, identify "leakage" in the local economy. That is, determine how much money is spent by local businesses, institutions, governments and residents purchasing goods and services from outside Cabarrus County that are available from businesses within Cabarrus County. Additionally, determine the impact, in terms of the number of jobs, of diverting some or all of that spending from outside the county to businesses inside the county. 2. Identify barriers to success encountered by small businesses as a result of government policies and regulations. Conversely, identify government policies and regulations, existing or new, which are helpful to small businesses. Attachment number 1 1 -10 Page 268
