currently full. We provide Day Habilitation services to 18 Home and Community—Based Services
(HCS) clients;three Texas Home Living clients and two General Revenue clients. We also serve two
Home and Community—Based Services (HCS) clients from Angel Communities and one General
Revenue private pay. From our contract services in Graham we brought in $820.00 for the month of

. Over $2,000.00 worth of gifts were provided. I also have a report from Amanda Gage about
Employment Assistance, Employment and Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services (DARS)
provided in Graham. She states Employment Assistance helps the individual identify employment
preferences,job skills, work requirements, and conditions. Staff perform extensive research on and with
the individuals seeking employment. We research what kind of work they are looking for and what
makes that job appealing to them. For instance, an individual may state they like to play video games.
Staff have to research and find out exactly what it is that the individual finds appealing about playing
video games. Most of the time the individual does not know what type of employment they are looking
for. Someone may want to work in an office, later we find out that the only reason they want to work in
an office is because they get to dress up to go to work or that they get to use a copier or a shredder. Once
we find out what appeals to the individual then we can obtain a better job match. Staff will begin
thinking about the employers that can provide these types of jobs. We only ask the employers that they
provide competitive employment and that the beginning rate of pay be minimum wage. Our ultimate
goal is Self—Employment! Employment Assistance is not provided to Home and Community—Based
Services (HCS)individuals. That is typically handled by the Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative
Services. Employment provides our individuals with empowerment, self—worth, and financial
assistance. Our individuals are employed shredding documents, picking up litter at the Golf Course, as
well as other janitorial type work. We currently have six Home and Community—Based Services (HCS)
individuals employed, two of which are completely independent; we have one Texas Home Living Client
employed with the assistance of Supported Employment Services; and we have one General Revenue
client employed independently. We are currently serving one individual through the Department of
Assistive and Rehabilitative Services (DARS). We have eight total employed in Graham.

080411-4 TRAINING
A) Worker's Compensation
Rod Brennan, Chief Financial Officer and Jeff Dresbach, Human Resources and Risk Management
Director presented the training on Worker's Compensaton(on file). Jeff distributed and provided the
training on the Alliance Service Area Contracts (on file).
Shelley Owen, Have we ever looked into self insurance versus Worker's Compensation? With self
insurance you have more control.
Rod Brennan We are in a self insurance pool with the Texas Council Risk Management Fund,but we
have never looked into self insurance.
Jeff Dresbach The number of claims is very disproportionate to the amount of money spent. We are
insistant that injuries be reported and that they seek medical care. Therefore, there are a lot of low cost
claims. But there are several that have lasted for years and have driven the cost up. We have been
researching the possibility of joining an Alliance. The Alliance establishes a physician who provides the
care. The biggest draw back is the lack of physicians in our area who are willing to work with the
Alliance, and the fact that we fall into five different catchment areas. We do have the ability currently to
request a second opinion. However, the second opinions have gone the way of the first. We have good,
solid, extremely costly claims.

2) Cost of Living Raise
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the Board of Trustees review the data and approve a course of action
to be taken.
Jeff Dresbach, Human Resources and Risk Management Director stated Rod Brennan, Chief Financial
Officer, Gianna Harris, Associate Executive Director of Operations and 1 were asked to look at the cost
and how an across the board salary increase could be implemented. Salary Projections 3%Pay Raise (on
file) was distributed and discussed. An option to fund the raise would be an adjustment in staffing. We
would have to reduce the force by 12 to 15 middle grade employees or we could reduce our Medical
Staff by one full time position in order to fund the raise. We do not like the idea of conducting a
Reduction in Force(RIF) in order to give raises.
Shelly Owen What about Merit Increases?
Gianna Harris We have not given Merit Increases,but we have tried to compensate individuals for
additional duties.
Jeff Dresbach, For instance, when Lynn Hartje, Behavioral Health Services Director resigned, we
elected not to refill that position and used 50%of his salary to compensate those who assumed additional
duties.
Shelly Owen Do you feel like a 3% across the board cost of living raise is doable?
Jeff Dresbach No, out of all the options we looked at, it could not be accomplished without cutting
employees or services. We know we are over serving. We can look at reducing positions as they come
open and see if we can come up with the funds for an increase next fiscal year.
Shelly Owen Have we looked at increasing the base pay for the lower paid employees?
Jeff Dresbach We are always looking, for instance we brought in Texas Council to provide some
Management Training to lay the ground work for building our management base and getting them ready
for additional responsibilities. We also have to take into consideration the benefits across the board we
provide. You can go to work at McDonald's where you do not have as much responsibility but you also
do not get the benefits. There are a lot of our staff at the Group Homes that are going to school and they
want to be able to put on their resume once they graduate that they have this experience.
Rod Brennan Our Houseparents in our Group Homes make more than the DADS (Department of Aging
and Disability Services) Model.
Carla Kay Ainsworth Experience tells us that not eveybody deserves a raise. Do you do Annual
Evaluations?
Jeff Dresbach That is something we need to work with our supervisors on.
Shelly Owen Have we done Wage Analysis of comparable jobs?
Jeff Dresbach We have dome some comparison with the Private Providers.
Shelly Owen We probable need to consider a Wage Analysis to see how close we are. 1 feel like we are
good on the professional side. Do you do Exit Interviews, are they leaving for more money?
Jeff Dresbach Yes, we do Exit Interviews. Some are offered more money. Some that leave for more
money, leave and then return. Most of our Houseparents leave because they graduate. Some are
terminated because of investigations. Some go to work for the state, some leave to work a different shift.
I feel like our salaries are competitive.
Robert Clement We need to table any further discusssion until we can see a General Wage Analysis.
Billye Ruth White We do not need to micro manage, that is not our job.
Board of Trustee Meeting Minutes 8
August 4,2011
Robert Clement We could appoint an ad hoc committee to review a Wage Analysis.
Shelly Owen We do not need to micro manage. I move that you consider a baseline wage analysis,
watch and come back to us with a recommendation when you think we can afford it.
The Board of Trustees approved the motion that staff consider a baseline wage analysis, watch and come
back to us with a recommendation when you think we can afford it.

Hospital was distributed.
Board of Trustee Meeting Minutes 9
August 4,2011
2)Regional Board Retreat
A memo discussing a Regional Board Retreat (on file) was distributed. The North Texas Regional CEO
Group, which is made up of North Texas State Hospital; MHMR of Tarrant County; Denton County
MHMR Center; Texas Panhandle Centers for Behavioral Health; Pecan Valley Centers for Behavioral &
Developmental HealthCare; LifePath Systems; MHMR Services of Texoma, and Helen Farabee Centers
is exploring the possibility of coordinating a Regional Board Retreat this fall. They plan to discuss
potential dates and agenda at the next North Texas Regional CEO Group meeting scheduled for
September 15th. They are looking at a Thursday and Friday meeting. The goal is to discuss potential
ways that we can work together to reduce cost, to act as a system of care for the North Texas area. The
plan is to analyze the use of joint telemedicine and joint pharmacies to increase efficiencies and cut costs.
ETBHN operates their own pharmacy. We want to look for other areas where we might be able to share
infra structure such as centralizing intake and credentialing. We have done some things,but we need to
discuss the structure for a regional partnership. The possibility was discussed of having the Regional
Board Retreat in conjunction with or in place of the November 3`d Board of Trustee meeting.
3)Medicaid Managed Care
Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC)released the list of health care entities contract with
Medicaid Managed Care starting February 1, 2012. We have been in a Primary Care Case Management
type system where the Primary Care Physician must refer the patient for any specialty services. Now we
will be in full blown Managed Care.
4)Budget
Sara Rugeley; Gianna Harris, Associate Executive Director of Operations; and Jana Simpson, Chief
Accountant attended the City of Wichita Falls Budget Hearing and did an excellent job presenting our
budget request.
5)Intellectual and Developmental Disability Services
A major project is the refinancing of General Revenue patients into Texas Home Living Waiver Services.
They are taking$390,000.00 of our General Revenue to accompish this refinancing. The Texas Home
Living Waiver was a tough program to break even in; but we reapplied to become a Texas Home Living
Provider. We will see financially how it works. We will also have to wait and see how it will impact ur
General Revenue Services. There will be a significant chunk of General Revenue money that we will not
be able too earn back.
Rod Brennan It was a great idea to pull down Federal dollars, but they are taking a dollar and only
giving us the opportunity to earn back seventy cents.
Roddy Atkins It is going to make it more difficult in the rural areas.
6) Texas Council Board of Directos and Executive Directors'Consortium
Sara Rugeley and I are going to Austin today to attend the Executive Directors' Consortium and the
Texas Council Board of Directors' Meetings.
7)Psychiatric/Medical Services
Shelley Owen Where are we on the stimulus money for EMR (Electronic Medical Record)?
Roddy Atkins We are still negotiating with NetSmart. We do not like their electronic prescribing
system. We want access to the information immediately. They said they would make it happen,but they
have not fully integrated. Our contract states we will accept a five minute delay with 99% accuracy. We
also want discounts built into the contract if problems arise and they can not comply.
Shelley Owen Are we running out of time?
Board of Trustee Meeting Minutes 10
August 4,2011
Roddy Atkins We are fine with time, we can begin Phase I at any time. We only have two physicians
with the Medicaid percentage. If NetSmart is not able to fully integrate then we will go out for RFP
(Request for Proposal). The first year is to certify the system, then we can reapply each year. The
Second Phase is 30%Medicaid and other steps. We can enter into Phase 1 for up to three years. We are
not in a time crunch yet. We want a reasonable cost with the best product so we may have to go out for
an RFP (Request for Proposal).
