6. Review of Draft Document
Robert Whirry will update Committee on the latest drafts of System of Care and other parts of the Comprehensive Plan, as available.
Robert reviewed the Comprehensive Plan timeline, indicating that next Thursday will be the final meeting to review the Plan draft to be submitted to the Full Council at the November meeting. The working group members discussed. Robert expressed concern about getting the document turned around in time for the council to review. Should Council approve entire Plan, or just the Goals, Objectives, and Action Steps.
Committee agreed that they want the Council to approve, but not to review and revise line-by-line. Working group discussed the importance of having the Full Council, and as many Council Members as possible, review the Plan. Group discussed options for how to approach this.
Robert reviewed the various sections that will be included in the Plan.
Robert suggested a sign-up sheet.
ACTION: Council Support send email to all Council Members requesting who is interested in reviewing the main sections of the Comprehensive Plan (Objectives and Action Steps) to respond, and a copy will be made available. Note that the Draft Plan will be reviewed (and voted on) at the upcoming November Council Meeting.
Committee discussed that the more detailed strategic plan will come about as a natural response to reauthorization (or the lack of reauthorization).
7. New Comprehensive Plan Objectives & Action Steps
Robert Whirry provided copies of the objectives and Action Steps as revised
based on the discussions at the last meeting. (Document on file at Council
Support Offices). The working group reviewed, discussed, and made suggestions

Action Steps for each objective.
