He further reported that the Cabarrus County Board of Education and <br />the Kannapolis City Board of Education had specifically endorsed the concept of <br />developing a hub facility and specific satellite facilities for human services. <br />To proceed with the Committee's proposal, Dr. Smith suggested that the Board <br />appoint a commission consisting of one member from each of the human service <br />boards, one member from each of the two school boards, one County Commissioner, <br />and one member of the 21st Century Committee (if not otherwise represented by an <br />appointee of the human service boards) and charge the appointed commission with <br />the task of making the following recommendations. <br /> <br />Locate a site for the hub facility. <br />Develop a model for delivering human services in the hub <br />satellite concept. <br />From this model, develop a hub facility plan. <br />Design the satellite service delivery system. <br />Select appropriate satellite sites. <br /> <br />In conclusion, Dr. Smith stressed the importance of a Human Services Planning <br />Committee to evaluate funding requests, prioritize spending, and make <br />recommendations to the Board regarding future human service needs. <br /> The Board took no action regarding Dr. Smith's request and asked that this <br />matter be placed on the agenda for September 8, 1992 for further discussion. <br /> <br />Recommendations Submitted for Appointment to Proposed Commission <br /> <br />Cabarrus County Board of Education - Mrs. Dorothy Simmons <br />Kannapolis City Board of Education - Mrs. Danita B.
