§ 70.190.110. Program review
(1) The council, and each network, shall biennially review all state and federal funded programs serving individuals, families, or communities to determine whether a network may be better able to integrate and coordinate these services within the community.
(2) The council, and each network, shall specifically review the feasibility and desirability of decategorizing and granting, all or part of, the following program funds to the networks:
(a) Consolidated juvenile services;
(b) Family preservation and support services;
(c) Readiness to learn;
(d) Community mobilization;
(e) Violence prevention;
(f) Community-police partnership;
(g) Child care;
(h) Early intervention and educational services, including but not limited to, birth to three, birth to six, early childhood education and assistance, and headstart;
(i) Crisis residential care;
(j) Victims' assistance;
(k) Foster care;
(l) Adoption support;
(m) Continuum of care; and
(n) Drug and alcohol abuse prevention and early intervention in schools.
(3) In determining the desirability of decategorizing these programs the report shall analyze whether:
(a) The program is an integral part of the comprehensive plan without decategorization;
(b) The program is already adequately integrated and coordinated with other programs that are, or will be, funded by the network;
(c) The network could develop the capacity to provide the program's services;
(d) The program goals might receive greater community support and reinforcement through the network;
(e) The program presently ensures that adequate follow-up efforts are utilized, and whether the network could improve on those efforts through decategorization of the funds;
(f) The decategorization would benefit the community; and
(g) The decategorization would assist the network in achieving its goals.
(4) If the council or a network determines that a program should not be decategorized, the council or network shall make recommendations regarding programmatic changes that are necessary to improve the coordination and integration of services and programs, regardless of the funding source for those programs.
