Disability services coordinator asks board to wait for DAP presentation on 28E agreement
Summary
Renee Birkin briefed the board on a proposed 28E relationship to join the Disability Access Point (DAP) governing board and recommended that the supervisors hear an in‑depth presentation from Julie of DAP next week before voting on participation.
Renee Birkin, the county’s disability services coordinator, told supervisors the proposed 28E agreement is primarily a governance/participation arrangement rather than a service‑eligibility decision: “With the 28e, there isn't really any decision making as far as, like, who you can serve and, how people are served,” she said, describing the county’s role as a member of the governing board to observe and participate in planning.
Birkin said Julie from DAP will attend next week to provide detailed information about DAP’s vision and expectations, and recommended waiting for that presentation before approving any agreement. Board members agreed it would be prudent to review Julie’s presentation and to add the item to a future agenda for potential approval after questions are answered.
Next steps: Julie will appear at the next meeting for a detailed presentation and the board will consider formal approval afterwards.
