Outback Strong director: state reporting problems are creating confusion; county may retain admin fees
Summary
Outback Strong Director Heidi Martinez told the board the tort-liability IGA matched last year's agreement and that the nonprofit has not been receiving accurate allotment reports from the Oregon Health Authority, creating a backlog; Commissioner Williams said the county will meet with the treasurer to reconcile funds and begin retaining administrative fees rather than passing them through.
Heidi Martinez, director of Outback Strong, told the Lake County Board that the tort-liability intergovernmental agreement was unchanged from the prior year and was tied to a new CFAA agreement.
"The Agreement was the same as the previous year," Martinez said. She also reported that Outback Strong "was not receiving their allotment reports from Oregon Health Authority, which was causing some confusion and backlog." Commissioner James Williams said the county would review records with Treasurer Melanie Lasley and that the county would soon start retaining administrative fees instead of passing them to Outback Strong.
Martinez said Outback Strong is seeking funding to add playground equipment at the family center at 215 North G Street. Commissioner Mark Albertson suggested checking with the Arthur R. Dubs Foundation as a potential source. The board listed the IGA and related funding matters for Action/Consideration in the Regular Session.
No formal agreement change or funding reallocation was recorded in the work-session minutes; commissioners scheduled the item for the Regular Session for formal action.
