Liddle reviewed the purpose of the meeting as assigned at the February 12, 2010 sub-committee meeting: review the public comments received through the online input/comment period, finalize the SPIL Draft #2 based on the comments, develop a draft budget for the 2011-2013 SPIL, apply the Logic Model to the upcoming SPIL.
Jeter distributed background materials on each agenda item.
Public Comment Results:
The committee reviewed the compilation of results from the 403 responses received and keyed in as of April 1, 2010. Specific recommendations based on the comments included:
To create a greater impact on the number of Virginians with disabilities, the focus of the SPIL needs to be on systems change initiatives.
To track measurable outcomes, the language of the SPIL Goals needs to be broad while the language for the objectives/activities needs to be more specific
To incorporate the common themes identified in the public input/comment process, specific suggestions can be addressed under activities
To clarify the type of respondent for future public processes, include the question: “Are you or have you been a consumer of CIL services?”
To clarify the bureaucratic wording of the SPIL document, a simplified Executive Summary needs to accompany the document.
MOTION: All SPIL Goals were deemed important by survey results of greater than 90%, therefore the sub-committee recommends to the SILC that all four goals be maintained as written. (Michalski-Karney/Mathena) Passed by voice vote.
