And whether or not McNeal did in fact personally profit from her services on
the New Horizons Board directly is irrelevant as all get out. For indeed New
Horizons itself profited from her referrals and thus signed and approved by
her as has become self evident in FOIA releases.
Inother words wh know from the public record for example that she, GGwen
McNeal did inded autorize expenditures to New Horizons directly for job
developers for the Revecovery Act Funded program for blind folks whilst paid
for by MCB and again in the public record on the DTMB wweb site and so it
goes this is a mony laundering and an otherwise conflicted interest program
in spades.
I'll stand by it and I defy anyone to denote anything any different and to
sue me personally for these statements made on the public record and that
are referenced in fact and in deed in this stupid Cannon self admission of
actual conflicts of interest in deed.
He has given all the smoking gun here by his own admission and simply defers
it all tho third parties and for another mindless opinion over and over
again without the binding fact of due process or law.
This ethics board by the way is a joke and isn't again in documented fashion
accessibale in acordence with law and in short and in the vernacular:
doesn't mean jack shit.
This is all a giant dog andpony show and the dog is saved and the pony is
ugly and most irrelevent.
Time to take these scofflaws to court and a competent court at that of
competent jurisdiction outside of this scofflaw state.

> in
> Oakland and two in the eastern division. The two Macomb projects that
> ended

>
>
>
> Transition expansion, the largest project at this time, is working
> directly
> with Southfield schools and just confirmed taking a few students from
> Ferndale schools (approx.12-14 students). The Madison Heights branch is
> being used for this program. More School-to-Work programming may be picked
> up in Macomb. We are budgeting zero dollars for United Way (UW). However,
> during the past three years as UW funding has decreased, New Horizons has
> used its own dollars to supplement the UW Funding. We expect to continue
> this process since our investments returned almost four-fold during the
> year
> and support projects with approximately ten Macomb School Districts and a
> larger number of high schools. Macomb CMH would like to do some business
> with us but in Oakland County. A qualifying packet is being prepared for
> them.
>
>
>
> Overall believe we will do very well on the program side this year. Ron
> will
> be serving on a task force to look at lowering the age from 26 to 22 in
> order to receive services.
>
>
>
> B. Executive Committee
>
> Bud Keller reported the majority of the Executive Committee meeting was
> spent reviewing the financial statements, year to date and talking about
> the
> upcoming budget and all matters pertaining to that. A good amount of time
> was also spent talking about personnel changes and proposals that have
> already been discussed earlier in this board meeting. Ron Storing also
> provided an update on the ARRA funds and the Michigan budget for the
> upcoming year as it was known at that time.
>
>
>
> C. Nominating Committee
>
> Stan Gramke noted that we are looking to start holding a nominating
> committee meeting in the next month or so. Doug Otlewski is the chair for
> that committee. We do have two resignations this year, as well as a
> potential new board candidate. Doug Otlewski asked board members to work
> together and offer names of potential candidates that would be a great
> asset
> to the New Horizons Board of Trustees.

> currently working on a two week extension of the 2010 budget. Not directly

> budget is not expected to be approved any time soon.

> Ron Storing, Vice President reported that at the State level, the Governor
> Snyder has given two executive orders that will eliminate the Department

> likelihood that a 3% decrease may take place.
>
>
>
> Ron passed out a list of the current who's who in Michigan state
> government
> from Lansing. We need to pay attention to what is happening and make phone

> Smith, former Oakland County Deputy Executive, is now in Lansing and is a
> strong advocate for Oakland County and Southeastern Michigan.

> started with ARRA funding can be maintained. Management meetings with MRS
> Michigan Eastern Division are being held. Our projects in Macomb County
> will

> final budget for 2012 will have a lot to do with the final decisions.
>
>
>
> E. Additional Item - Southfield Schools
>
> We are close to coming to an agreement with Southfield Schools in
> developing
> a new transition program for special education students. We hope to have
> an
> agreement completed by April. Traditionally our Madison Heights facility
> has
> been the least used as far as capacity. We will be starting a facility
> based
> project with about 40 students. They will be bussed to our facility. The
> program is modeled after a program that was run when Ron first started
> with
> New Horizons. We will have a teacher and a half on board to provide
> educational components right in the facility to meet their educational
> hours
> that are required each day. They will structure it to have 20 students in
> a
> classroom and 20 students working and then switch them, so they are only
> bussing them one time there and back.
>
>
>
> F. Staffing Changes
>

> accepted
> a position at another business.
>
>
>
> G. Weather Closures
>
> Jason Kaszubski, Human Resource Manager reported what we normally do in
> the
> event of a closure. Jason calls the state police and they send our name up
> to Lansing and we hope we will show up on channel 2,4, 7 and the radio
> stations. A new procedure is being put in place where if Jason gets the
> call
> from Stan or Ron that we are closed, he will call in from home to each
> branch and select from three pre-recorded phone messages that notify
> consumers and staff what is happening. We are also working on some type of
> link on our website that will give the same notification as the phone
> messages. Finally, we are looking at using an automated phone tree. All of
> these should improve communication concerning closures.
