Committee narrows Community Portal ask; TEBS to pursue targeted feasibility study

Government Operations and Fiscal Policy Committee · April 13, 2026

Summary

A proposed HHS Community Portal funding request was scaled: the joint GO/HHS committees had removed an $800,000 executive request for further review; TEBS and members agreed to pursue a limited feasibility study (about $375,000) focused on platform integration before broader stakeholder engagement.

Committee members returned to a joint GO/HHS conversation about an $800,000 request to assess whether the proposed Community Portal could deliver enterprise-wide services. Dr. Torregas summarized that the joint committees had agreed the request should be brought back for further discussion; the item covers stakeholder interviews, intake workflow analysis, system requests and platform integration work.

TEBS and HHS staff told the committee the first step should be a targeted, go/no-go feasibility assessment focused on platform integration, cloud and on-premise system compatibility, and vendor discussions. The Chair and multiple members signaled support for protecting the portal work while narrowing the initial scope; the committee directed placing the beginnings of a TEBS feasibility study (approximately $375,000) on the reconciliation list for council consideration.
