As Ms. Opsahl summarized the proposal elements (see attached), the Board provided reaction and feedback. IV. Discussion: Association Position and Next Steps After discussing the proposal components, Ms. Opsahl indicated that the Association has been invited to meet with FSSA Secretary Dr. John Wernert to discuss the proposal. To better understand the proposal’s anticipated impact on member agencies prior to that meeting, it was agreed that all Board members should complete the Daily Rate Impact Calculation spreadsheet which compares current billing with the proposed daily rate billing by consumer and submit it to Ms. Opsahl by Tuesday, December 9. Following the meeting with the Secretary, the Board will have full information available to make a decision on how to proceed. In order to take prompt action following the meeting, the Board will move their regular December meeting to December 12 from 2:30-4:00 via teleconference. It is anticipated that the Association’s position will be finalized at that time. V. Other Business VI.
