Mr. Olsen said ADSD has done a wonderful job of finding a relay company, Hamilton, to come in and replace Sprint. They had an open house meeting and they appear to be knowledgeable and enthusiastic. They seem very professional and I am impressed. Mr. Heaivilin wanted to Ms. Valentine for her help in getting his reimbursement check to him. Approval of Minutes from the March 3, 2014 Meeting (For Possible Action) Brian Patchett, Commission Chairperson Ms. Bryant said on page 3 near the bottom she said she would talk about guardianship only, not employment, and asked that be corrected. Ms. Bryant made a motion to approve the minutes with noted corrections. Mr. Sasser seconded. Motion carried. Update on the Status of Nevada’s Olmstead Plan and Possible Recommendations for Plan Revision (For Possible Action) Bill Heaivilin, Commission Member Mr. Heaivilin said the Olmstead subcommittees of the CSPD and Commission on Aging (COA) met earlier this month to be updated on Olmstead activities, and where the Division wants to go. Tony Records, who did the ADSD Olmstead plan years ago, made a presentation on Olmstead now, where it is nationally with the Department of Justice, and with Medicare and Medicaid. There are more opportunities, and waiver services need to be more person centered and actually in integrated setting. From here we’re asking Mr. Records to update the Olmstead plan to include a more broad based plan including ADSD, Medicaid, Public and Behavioral Health, and education services, to have a comprehensive plan. Ms. Taycher said she saw the agreement between Mr. Records and ADSD and it does reflect what was discussed at the meeting. She added she is excited to be involved in this. Mr. Patchett said he attended the meeting but didn’t realize he was not a member of the Olmstead subcommittee. He said he was appointing himself to the subcommittee; council members agreed with this. Mr. Patchett informed the council that Mr. Records will be looking at what states have done. Mr. Olsen said he was unable to attend the Olmstead subcommittee meeting as asked if he could get a copy of the minutes. When the minutes are done they will be sent to the CSPD and COA in addition to Olmstead subcommittee members.
