· RECOMMENDATION #5 The County Commission appoint a Human Ser- vices Planning Committee composed of nine members for the purpose of overseeing the hub/service center planning and implementa- tion process. Additionally, this committee an- nually would prioritize funding requests made to the County Commissioners for new or ex- panded services. The 21st Century Committee suggests that the nine member body is composed in the following manner: each member of the Cabat't'as County Board of Commissioners appoint one committee member and each of the four human service agency boards appoint one. The 21st Century Committee sug- gests that members on the Human Services Planning Committee serve a teim of two years with a limit to two reappointments to the Committee. To foster stability at the outset, it is suggested that the first appointments into two class- es with the first class (two commissioner and two agency appointees) serving for a one-year term and the second class (three commissioner and two agency appointees) serving for a two-lrear term. After the first year of operation all ap- pointees would have a term of two years. Attached are possible scenarios for implementing the hub concept, a tim- ing matrix and a decision tree. The Committee suggests that the County Com- mission consider the information contained in these appendices as it decides on the primary recommendations included in this report. C. CONCLUSION The 21st Cent _ury Committee believes that the recommendations con- rained in this report offer Cabarrus County the opportunity to move to the fore- front in refom~ng a human service delivery system that is viewed as being anti- quated. The Committee recognizes that recommendations suggesting a major deviation from the status quo are difficult both to enact and implement. The members of the Committee stand ready to help in any way they can in educat- ing the public about the proposed recommendations.
