AODA Authorization Process Review: Ms Dorr spoke about the funding grants we use and the newly created data base by Ms. Lannon. This has moved out system to an electronic rather than paper system. It is more efficient and easier to track clients and funding. Mr. Gibson explained his role in this process. Mr. Gibson determines the level of treatment clients need, their eligibility for funding, and priority level for services. The authorization is then routed to Ms. Klyve for approval before processing. Ms. Welch explained that her role is similar to Mr. Gibson, however she handles the Intoxicated Driver Program area of the funding. The accounting staff processes the authorization once an invoice has been received from the provider. The database maintains a current balance at all times of those that are paid out of that fund. Approval of Contracts, Transfers and/or Encumbrances: Mr. Jones presented four contracts and responded to questions. Citizen Representative Murry moved all contracts, seconded by Citizen Representative WeaverLanders with unanimous approval. Approval of Bills: Ms. Schultz presented the bills for approval and responded to questions.
