The Arrowhead West CDDO has adopted a separate set of procedures for Community Council as per KDADS approved CDDO bylaws organized pursuant to K.A.R. 30-64-22 (a)(3). These procedures are available for review to interested parties.
The purpose of the Community Council (referred to as Council) is to express opinions and make suggestions and recommendations to the governing board of Arrowhead West CDDO concerning any services issues, including, but not limited to: the types of services being offered by the various providers within the service area; and the manner in which those services are being provided.
The Council is made up of nine official members to include five client/family/guardian representatives; two Affiliate provider representatives and two CDDO representatives. An electorate comprised of persons who qualify to be client representatives will elect the client representatives and two alternates. Client representatives shall comprise at least 51% of the total Council membership.
Regular meetings will be held quarterly and at other times as necessary to fulfill the Council’s responsibilities for dispute resolution. All affiliate providers or others with an interest may attend, however, only members or their approved alternate may vote. Special meetings will require a minimum ten day notice to each member.
Duties of the Council would include adopting motions for review of the Board of Directors, implementing dispute resolution procedures when necessary per provisions of K.A.R. 30-64-32, and providing oversight of the functions of the CDDO Quality Assurance Committee as required by the provisions of K.A.R. 30-64-27.
