8. Residency Waivers - Janelle Chadwick

None

9. Community Services Update - Mary Keating

Several Weatherization contract change orders will be on the January 2018 Health and Human Services agenda. These projects are bid with the full anticipated grant funding amount included, but the actual contracts are not issued until the multiple grant agreements from the State are in place. The result is large change order amounts, but they are not reflective of an unanticipated increase.

The Family Self-Sufficiency Program’s holiday party will be on Saturday, December 9.

The Charitable contributions email went out to County employees on December 4. Ms. Keating noted that the process offers an easy way for employees to support the campus charities through payroll deductions. One change this year is that the United Way, which provides administrative support in collecting and distributing the contributions, will begin implementing an administrative fee.

10. DuPage Care Center Update - Janelle Chadwick

The Care Center is implementing the Facility-Wide Resource Assessment component of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) - Phase 2.

The assessment is to be completed on an annual basis.
