RSA Monitoring Report – MRS received the report yesterday.  MRC, MiSILC, and Michigan Protection and Advocacy have not yet received the report.  The MRS

Executive Team spent the afternoon going through the report, which was conservative with praise, but critical with concerns.  Ten findings required corrective

action – IPE, MRC appointments conflict, CSNA, residency requirements, IL appointment issue and five budget issues.  MRS has until October 18th to respond

to the draft and send in comments/rebuttal; the bureau will be reviewing the report and including MRC in this process.  While RSA indicates they reserve

the right to sanction MRS financially, if MRS indicates good faith effort, RSA will take this into consideration.  This is the most negative report from

RSA that MRS has ever received.  RSA will consider the rebuttal response once submitted, finalize report, and give MRS steps for a corrective action plan.

 There could be financial sanctions or MRS could be put on notice as an ‘at-risk’ bureau.  MRS did not see positives in the report, which RSA had for them

during the monitoring visit in April.
