>> days. This is not ambiguous. Moreover, as you know because I've

>>
>> make those required documents available in accessible format to blind
>>

>>
>> a failure to even respond to a request for accommodations is a violation
>> in
>>

>> on
>>
>> this request alone.
>>
>>
>>
>> Thus again I'm requesting you remit this information forthwith as either
>>
>> Word attachments and/or plain text enclosures to my e-mail address
>> listed
>>
>> above.
>>
>>
>>
>> I also request once again that this information is posted in html format

>>
>>
>>
>> If you need some technical assistance in this regards I'd be delighted

>>
>> comply. But I won't do the service to you or your scofflaw entity
>> without
>>
>> charging you for the services renderred. And I darn well won't pay for

>>
>> information or anything else that you and the agency are required to
>> post
>>
>> affirmatively in a variety of accessible formats let alone upon request
>> (re:
>>
>> Tyler v. Manhatten for affirmative obligations of Title II entities).
>>
>>
>>
>> Moreover, I'm requesting the name, address and other contact information

>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> Discussion of 2012 Performance Objectives for Agency Director
>>
>>
>>
>> Commissioner Schuck explained that she was trying to focus on
>>
>> S.M.A.R.T. objectives: specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and
>> time
>>
>> oriented.
>>
>>
>>
>> Objective 1
>>
>>
>>
>> There was discussion about what information will be received
>> by
>>
>> Commissioners as the way the objective is stated is
>>
>> vague. Commissioners stated they wanted to receive what was going to
>>
>> be sent before it was sent not after.
>>
>>
>>
>> Objective 1:
>>
>>
>>
>> The Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) conducted its
>> monitoring
>>
>> review of the Commission in 2009 and submitted its final report to MCB
>>
>> November 5, 2010. The final RSA report included eight findings which
>>
>> require corrective actions by the agency and MCB staff will continue to
>>
>> work with RSA's designated liaison on a regular basis for technical
>>
>> assistance in the development of these actions and monitor
>>
>> progress. RSA approved MCB's Corrective Action Plan (CAP), December
>>
>> 19, 2011, and has requested that MCB report quarterly progress on the
>>
>> completion of corrective actions and specific steps taken to address
>>
>> compliance findings, including the submission of any revised policies,
>>
>> procedures, or implementing documents.
>>
>>
>>
>> RSA has requested that MCB's first quarterly progress report be
>> submitted
>>
>> by April 15, 2012, with subsequent reports due July 15, 2012, October
>> 15,
>>
>> 2012 and January 15, 2013, etc. until the CAP activities resolve the
>>
>> findings identified. Accordingly, the agency director will also provide
>>
>> quarterly updates to commissioners on interactions with RSA when the
>>
>> information is sent to RSA on the 15th of April, July and October, 2012,
>> and
>>
>> post these reports on the MCB website.
>>
>>
>>
>> Objective 2
>>
>>
>>
>> Director Cannon stated that he is willing to explore the feasibility of
>>
>> gathering of this data and clarified the role of the Consumer
>> Involvement
>>
>> Council (CIC). Objective 2 was not finalized and Commissioner Schuck
>>
>> asked that this objective be revisited at a later date so the Director
>> can
>>
>> have an answer to exploring the feasibility of gathering this data. Mr.
>> Mike
>>
>> DeRose clarified that all parties are agreeing on Objective 2 but
>> changes
>>
>> will be made at the end of January when a list is created of what data
>> can
>>
>> be gathered. Director Cannon stated that the purpose of performance
>>
>> objectives is to identify outcomes and expectations that the Director
>> will be
>>
>> held accountable for, the intention is not to micromanage the Agency.
>>
>>
>>
>> Objective 2:
>>
>>
>>
>> State Plan
>>
>> In accordance with the Rehabilitation Act:
>>
>> 4.3 Consultations regarding the administration of the State Plan.
>> (Section
>>
>> 101(a) (16) (B) of the Rehabilitation Act; 34 CFR 361.21)
>>
>> The designated state agency takes into account, in connection with
>>
>> matters of general policy arising in the administration of the plan and
>> its
>>
>> supplement, the views of:
>>
>> (a) individuals and groups of individuals who are recipients of
>> vocational
>>
>> rehabilitation
>>
>>
>>
>> In order to begin to create a system that promotes consumer involvement
>>
>> and transparency of operations, MCB shall create some regular reports to
>>
>> consumers. By the end of January the Commissioners will be presented
>>
>> with a list of data that the Agency can provide on an ongoing regular
>>
>> basis. The reports shall be clear and easy to understand Commissioners
>>
>> request these: intakes/month/ytd, placements/month/ytd and % of goal
>> for
>>
>> year, beginning and ending balances for rehab, training center, and BEP
>>
>> with % spent/ytd. Each report shall report cost /successful closure and
>>
>> cost/unsuccessful closure. Each report shall be provided to the
>>
>> Commission Board in an accessible format and posted on the MCB web
>>
>> page in a conspicuous place. These reports shall be a beginning for a
>>
>> more robust reporting system which will be enhanced in future Fiscal
>>
>> years.
>>
>>
>>
>> There was a discussion between Commissioners and Director Cannon
>>
>> about the removal of a written objective regarding in-service trainings
>> for
>>
>> Commissioners. All parties agreed to not include in-service training as
>> an
>>
>> objective but know that if topics arise and there is training needed or
>>
>> requested this can be done.
>>
>>
>>
>> Objective 3
>>
>>
>>
>> Director Cannon stated that staff training is an administrative
>> responsibility
>>
>> which the Director has to answer to the Department and
>>
>> RSA. Commissioners said that staff training design may rise to level of
>>
>> policy making.
>>
>>
>>
>> Objective 3:
>>
>>
>>
>> a) Continue the work of the agency's committee to review and improve
>>
>> staff training, particularly training of new agency staff. The
>> committee, led
>>
>> by the agency's training coordinator, is balanced with a mix of
>> relatively
>>
>> new staff, longer-serving staff, both sighted and blind, managers, as
>> well
>>
>> as representation from the MCB Consumer Involvement Council (CIC), the
>>
>> Michigan Council of the Blind and Visually Impaired (MCBVI) and the
>>
>> National Federation of the Blind (NFB) of Michigan. The committee's
>> work
>>
>> includes a focus on enhancing the understanding of blindness and issues
>>
>> facing blind persons, which is intended to assist staff in serving
>> clients
>>
>> most effectively.
>>
>> - Compile and analyze the results of the December, 2011 survey of
>>
>> new staff members since April, 2010, to identify unmet needs for
>>
>> training and orientation of new staff and draw upon these
>>
>> suggestions to improve the procedures.
>>
>> - Review and analyze recommendations from Commissioners ad hoc
>>
>> committee on training and draw upon these suggestions to improve
>>
>> the procedures.
>>
>> - Distribute new survey to new staff hired in 2012 at the beginning
>> of
>>
>> employment, then again in three or four months, to help ascertain
>>
>> improvement achieved and apply PDSA principles to continuously
>>
>> improve the training and orientation process.
>>
>>
>>
>> b) The Director will develop an enhanced and expanded training
>> protocol.
>>
>>
>>
>> The progress on this initiative will be reported to Commissioners
>> quarterly.
>>
>>
>>
>> Objective 4
>>
>> Discussion by all parties included agreement on the wording of this
>>
>> objective and scheduling a future report by Susan Turney on the progress
>>
>> of this objective.
>>
>>
>>
>> Objective 4:
>>
>>
>>
>> The Director shall oversee the development of an indexing system for all
>>
>> Commission Board agendas, motions, policies and minutes to allow board
>>
>> records to be searched by topic, date or keyword. The search tool,
>> index
>>
>> and all content will be searchable and accessible through the
>>
>> Commission's website and via the telephone. Completion of this project
>>
>> will be a performance objective and is expected to be complete by
>>
>> 9/30/2012.
>>
>>
>>
>> Working with the MCB Image and Identity Team and the agency's
>>
>> Communications and Outreach Coordinator, explore ways to expand and
>>
>> improve the MCB Website to make it more accessible and user-friendly,
>>
>> and increase the amount and frequency of programmatic, administrative
>>
>> and budgetary information. The Image and Identity Team, comprised of
>>
>> agency staff, consumers and stakeholders, will provide advice and
>>
>> guidance to the agency webmaster at meetings in March and June, 2012,
>>
>> and following implementation of accepted, manageable and prudent
>>
>> proposals, the agency will report progress to Commissioners in September
>>
>> and December, 2012.
>>
>>
>>
>> There was a discussion about scheduling a future date to
>> finish the
>>
>> objective discussion and how many objectives are acceptable from human
>>
>> resource standpoint.
>>
>>
>>
>> PUBLIC COMMENT
>>
>>
>>
>> Mr. Joe Sontag: This is Joe Sontag and believe it or not I'm
>> not
>>
>> going to say anything pointed about BEP this time. I just to say this
>> time,
>>
>> once again I just want to express how happy I am with the way this
>>
>> Commission Board is functioning that we have a Board that is taking
>>
>> charge sitting firm on the idea of being of service to blind people in
>> the
>>
>> State of Michigan and not just certain blind people and their friends or
>> a
>>
>> specific organization. And secondly, I just wanted to say that I very
>> much
>>
>> look forward to the day when we can stop having arguments about
>>
>> information. We've been hearing for years about the level of
>> transparency
>>
>> in this organization and how it's the best in the country when it comes
>> to
>>
>> transparency and almost anything else that gets discussed for that
>>
>> matter. Frankly we have a long way to go and I believe very strongly
>> that
>>
>> we get passed the point where we argue about information and how
>>
>> frequently it can be produced, how frequently it should be produced, who
>>
>> should get it, who shouldn't get it, we're going to be much farther
>> ahead. I
>>
>> can recall a time when as a kid just learning how these things worked I
>>
>> could get anything I wanted that was legal to release to the public,
>> just for
>>
>> the asking. Just pick up a phone, go to the appropriate person and get
>>
>> it. Now, now everythings, even information that I, as a participant in
>> an
>>
>> agency program should be entitled to by law, as a given in an accessible
>>
>> format, I have to go through Freedom of Information Act or have to argue
>>
>> with people about whether it is or isn't an FOI request and so forth.
>> We
>>
>> need to get passed that ladies and gentlemen. And finally, I just want
>> to
>>
>> say that in regard to the number of objectives I understand that the
>> more
>>
>> you tack on the more difficult it can be to comply or to meet the
>>
>> objectives. I also understand that there are serious needs that have
>> been
>>
>> out there that have existed for a very long time that are only now
>> beginning
>>
>> to be seriously addressed. I say more important than the absolute number
>>
>> of objectives is the dedication of the people on both sides of the table
>> in
>>
>> terms of meeting those objectives and serving, the people there charged
>>
>> with serving rather than the absolute number. Thank you very much.
>>
>>
>>
>> Mr. Joe Harcz: yes I'm going to echo a little bit of that, but you
>> know I
>>
>> would. Look, on that Objective number 2 I believe it was, since I
>> don't
>>
>> have it in front of me, these are already requirements under the Rehab
>>
>> Act. To supply information related to the State Plan in a timely and
>>
>> accessible format to Commissioners and Consumers, members of the
>>
>> public. It's Pro Forma. We're going to have a new State Plan
>>
>> update. That fiscal year's in July, you know. This information that's
>> being
>>
>> requested should, by law, be standard. This doesn't go to an internal
>> civil
>>
>> service objective, that's a requirement of the Rehab Act. The other
>> thing is
>>
>> when we have battles and somebody has to ask on a monthly basis for
>>
>> things like draft meeting minutes that are required by law, rather than
>> just
>>
>> having them posted to a website that we already have and posted to the
>>
>> MCB 2020 Listserve that's indicative of the problem. When we, we don't
>>
>> have a lot of the consumer packet information, consumer or
>>
>> commissioners don't get information in a timely manner to act on their
>> due
>>
>> diligence and that's been documented over and over and over again. We
>>
>> do not follow the basics of the Americans with Disabilities Act or
>> Section
>>
>> 504 in these regards. I get better information from other entities,
>> from
>>
>> private entities, in a more timely, more accessible manner. And
>> generally I
>>
>> just ask for simple email. The final thing on the communications issue
>>
>> continually telephony is broken down in whole or in part. That happened
>>
>> at the last Commissioners meeting and that happened the year before, you
>>
>> can ask Ms. Pilarski about that. During the evaluation process there
>> was
>>
>> music coming through, there was 18 minutes of missing information and
>>
>> that's an ongoing problem and an ongoing problem with effective
>>
>> communications and access. The final thing and it goes back to
>>
>> information nobody knows, nobody knows where the money is being spent
>>
>> and we get excuses left and right. The Director is responsible, the
>> agency
>>
>> is responsible for administering federal funds and making those
>>
>> expenditures available to the public, let alone to Commissioners. You
>>
>> guys shouldn't be having to ask for that, there's nothing financially
>> related
>>
>> since June and that's up on the website and by the way that's not in a
>>
>> Word file and that's not in HTML, that's in Excel files.
>>
>>
>>
>> Mr. Fred Wurtzel: My first comment has to do with, well actually
>> all
>>
>> my comments have to do with the general attitude of the Director. The
>>
>> Director is, at every turn, resisting providing information to consumers
>> and
>>
>> to the Commission Board and doing all he can to thwart and undermine
>>
>> the actions of the Commission Board to do its job to set good policy for
>> the
>>
>> Michigan Commission for the Blind. It's a consumer driven organization
>>
>> and he keeps continually resisting providing information. I think what
>> both
>>
>> the Joe's said is absolutely correct and I just find it amazing that a
>> person
>>
>> is being, their performance ratings and objectives are there and they're
>>
>> being so belligerent in front of the people who are supposed to be
>> setting
>>
>> their performance standards and their performance objectives. I find it
>>
>> insulting to Commissioners, I find it insulting to consumers the way
>> that the
>>
>> Director is behaving so belligerently on behalf of the agency. I find
>> it to be
>>
>> absolutely, amazingly incredible that the Director of the Agency does
>> not
>>
>> even know what information is available. He doesn't even know if he can
>>
>> tell you how many intakes were made last month or how many people
>>
>> were closed last month. Closures are what the agency is about. That is
>>
>> the only reason that there is money given to the Michigan Commission for
>>
>> the Blind. Might I remind you its over $20,000,000, I'm telling you $20
>>
>> million with six 0's, and the Commissioner, the Director doesn't not
>> even
>>
>> know how to tell you how many closures there were in a given month. The
>>
>> very job the agency is in business to do. I find this to be absolutely
>>
>> dereliction of duties misfeasance and nonfeasance. It's amazing and
>> it's
>>
>> beyond the pale of what I can consider to be acceptable performance on
>>
>> behalf of someone getting paid over $100,000 a year to manage a $20
>>
>> million dollar budget. It's incredible. There seems to be a
>> misconception
>>
>> here about the Commissioners being in a position of recommending
>>
>> things. Commissioners don't recommend things, the Commission is an
>>
>> advisory board, the Commission is a policy setting board. I understand
>>
>> about chain of command but there's no reason that the Commission board
>>
>> cannot tell the Director the kind of programs it wants and how the kinds
>> of
>>
>> outcomes it wants and the Directors job is to go forth and do those
>>
>> things. I don't think that Pat's continual attempt to undermine the
>> authority
>>
>> of the Commission Board should be accepted or condoned or allowed to
>>
>> continue. Thank you.
>>
>>
>>
>> Mr. Joe Sibley: Here again, this is my view and I don't, as I said
>> at
>>
>> the last Commission meeting I don't necessarily agree, I know all three
>> of
>>
>> you Board members and I know it was not your intention in the
>>
>> performance evaluation of the Director to make it look like a "gotcha"
>>
>> scenario, but I did want to make the case that I am hearing back
>> publicly
>>
>> both from people in my organization and not in my organization that
>> there's
>>
>> still a concept that the longstanding problem with the NFB members of
>>
>> Michigan and the antagonistic view toward the Director that this is an
>>
>> opportunity. I don't think that's the case, I believe you guys actually
>>
>> evaluated everything carefully but I just wanted to say that, this
>> public
>>
>> comment, that I am hearing back on that, that would be the case. I do
>> still
>>
>> kind of disagree with your evaluation of the Director, I think the marks
>> were
>>
>> a little harsh. I think there are very positive things in the
>> Director's
>>
>> performance that need to be evaluated as well as the problems in the
>>
>> Agency. I don't see him as an antagonistic person, I don't agree with
>>
>> everything he does, and the way he does everything, of course not, but
>> I,
>>
>> and I think I'm in the minority on this call right now, but I want to
>> say that I
>>
>> do believe the performance evaluation of the Director was below, from my
>>
>> viewpoint, of what he actually deserves. I still think we need to focus
>> on
>>
>> having a less antagonistic view from all consumers and all agency
>>
>> staff. This goes to staff and to consumers and to clients have less
>>
>> antagonistic us against them view and we need to really focus on how we
>>
>> can reach a middle ground, reach compromise. I mean, our United States
>>
>> Congress is not doing a very good job of that I think we have an
>>
>> opportunity to work together, make compromises and find out what's the
>>
>> best objectives. What's the best way to do things within budget,
>> within
>>
>> staff realistic available, what can they reasonably accomplish and also
>>
>> accomplish in the goals that we need to accomplish. We really need to
>>
>> focus on working better together and trying to develop a less
>> antagonistic
>>
>> view as we try to solve the problems with this agency. There are
>>
>> problems, yes absolutely, we need to address them, but I say again, as I
>>
>> keep hammering again and again, we need to talk to talk to each other
>> and
>>
>> we need to be less antagonistic. Thank you very much.
>>
>>
>>
>> Commissioners and the Director set a next date to meet to discuss
>>
>> the rest of the objectives on Tuesday, January 10, 2012 at 11:00 a.m.
