OBH regarding the expenditures of <strong>Block</strong> <strong>Grant</strong> monies were not fulfilled; again due to staffing<br />

shortages. Rather than providing the information requested at the state level, the Committee was<br />

referred back to the RAC level where the Intended Use Plans and contracts are actually developed<br />

and monitored. At this level, detailed information would be more meaningful, and could include<br />

such things as goals and performance measures for contracts and programs. In responding to this<br />

request, the Assistant Secretary applauded the Planning Council‟s diligence and dedicated interests<br />

in monitoring <strong>Block</strong> <strong>Grant</strong> funds.<br />

The activities presented above highlight the interactive and valuable relationship between the<br />

Council‟s membership is listed, along with the duties, responsibilities, roles and charge as described<br />

in the Planning Council By-Laws and Rules.<br />
