DURING THE PAST YEAR, DELARF CONTINUED TO MAKE PROGRESS IN OBTAINING APPROPRIATE FUNDING LEVELS FOR SERVICES TO ADULTS WITH INTELLECTUAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES (I/DD), AS WELL AS PEOPLE WITH THE NEED FOR TREATMENT FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS. WE RESTRUCTURED THE ORGANIZATIONAL CHART, WITHOUT ADDING EXTRA EXPENSE, TO CREATE THE ASSOCIATE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE POSITIONS, WITH JOB DESCRIPTIONS FOR EACH POSITION. COMPLETED INTERVIEWS FOR THE NEW POSITIONS AND HIRED QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS, AFTER MANAGING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS WITH THE OPEN POSITIONS, THEN STREAMLINED REPORTING RELATIONSHIPS AND RETAINED SUPERVISION OVER THE ACCOUNTING POSITION TO TRY TO KEEP THE ORGANIZATIONAL CHART AS FLAT AS POSSIBLE. 11719 12945 POLICY INFORMATION DISSEMINATION AND TRAINING: DELARF CONTINUED TO PROVIDE INFORMATION SESSIONS TO STATE POLICY MAKERS REGARDING THE STATE BUDGET AND THE IMPACT OF MEMBERS' SERVICES ON THE LIVES OF DELAWAREANS WITH DISABILITIES. STAFF AND MEMBERS PROVIDED TESTIMONY DURING THE OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND THE BUDGET'S ANNUAL HEARINGS AND ALSO BEFORE THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY'S JOINT FINANCE COMMITTEE, AS WE DO EVERY YEAR. THESE STATEMENTS FOCUSED ON THE NEED FOR COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES THAT SUPPORT INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES. DELARF STAFF OFFERED TRAINING SESSIONS TO MEMBER AGENCIES AND THEIR STAFF AND FAMILIES SERVED BY THEM ON HOW TO ADVOCATE FOR AND BETTER SERVE THOSE THEY SUPPORT. DURING THE ENTIRE FISCAL YEAR, DELARF ADDED VALUE FOR THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH MEMBERS OF DELARF BY ADDRESSING ISSUES, INCLUDING LICENSURE, ACT RATES, AND THE NEED TO DEVELOP A BETTER PARTNERSHIP WITH DSAMH. DELARF ORGANIZED A MEMBER RETREAT IN NOVEMBER 2014 AT WHICH LEGISLATIVE LEADERS, THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES SECRETARY, AND DIVISION STAFF MADE PRESENTATIONS AND HAD INDIVIDUAL CONVERSATIONS WITH MEMBERS ABOUT THEIR CONCERNS. DURING THE 2015 LEGISLATIVE SESSION, DELARF WAS ABLE TO OBTAIN BUDGET EPILOGUE LANGUAGE TO ADDRESS I/DD MEMBER CONCERNS WITH THE FEDERAL REGULATIONS CONCERNING HOME AND COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES. 7604475 7997377 DELARF'S STATE USE PROGRAM: DELARF WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE COMMISSION FOR THE PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES OF THE BLIND AND OTHER SEVERELY HANDICAPPED INDIVIDUALS IN SUPPORT OF REVISIONS TO THE DELAWARE STATE USE LAW SECTION 9601 - SECTION 9606 OF TITLE 16 OF THE DELAWARE CODE AND CREATION OF REGULATIONS AND BYLAWS, PURSUANT TO A REVIEW OF THE COMMISSION BY THE LEGISLATURE'S JOINT SUNSET COMMITTEE. THE PURPOSE OF THE STATE USE PROGRAM OPERATED BY DELARF, IN COOPERATION WITH ITS FIVE SUBCONTRACTORS, IS TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF WORK OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES. ALTHOUGH WE HAVE NOT BEEN OFFICIALLY NAMED AS THE CENTRAL NON-PROFIT AGENCY, DELARF FUNCTIONS IN THIS CAPACITY AND THEREFORE HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO CREATE, MANAGE, AND PROMOTE THE SERVICE CONTRACTS ESTABLISHED WITH STATE AGENCIES AS DEFINED IN THE STATUTE. STATE USE CONTRACTS ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE TRADITIONAL PROCUREMENT PROCESS, BUT RATHER ARE AWARDED THROUGH ACTION OF THE 9 MEMBER GOVERNOR-APPOINTED COMMISSION. IN THIS REPORTING YEAR (FY 2015), 598 INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES HAD MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT IN THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE OF DELARF'S STATE USE PROGRAM; THIS REPRESENTS A 6% INCREASE OVER THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE EMPLOYED UNDER DELARF'S STATE USE CONTRACTS LAST YEAR (FY 2014). WAGES IN THIS REPORTING YEAR APPROACHED $5 MILLION, THEREBY REDUCING STATE AND FEDERAL ENTITLEMENT SPENDING THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE BORNE BY THE TAXPAYERS TO SUPPORT THIS LARGELY UNEMPLOYED POPULATION. 230274 46387 ASSOCIATION FUNCTIONS AND ADULT FOSTER CARE. 176750 176750 PAPER PRODUCT 407024 223137 8023218 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 6 0 0 6 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 6 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 DE X X C THOMAS COOK EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 3026229177 100 WEST 10TH STREET SUITE 103 WILMINGTON DE 19801 GARY CASSEDY IMMEDIATE PAST PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 KENDRA JOHNSON SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MARK HOLLINGER TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 DENNIS DAPOLITO PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 BRUCE LORENZ BYLAWS CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 VERNA HENSLEY COMMISSION CHAIR 1.00 X 0 0 0 STEVE BLANK COMMISSION CHAIR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CINDY STERLING COMMISSION CHAIR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CHARLES SIPE VICE PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JESSICA BIRKMIRE COMMISSION CHAIR 1.00 X 0 0 0 THOMAS COOK EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 113326 0 4269 113326 0 4269 1 0 0 0 GOODWILL INDUSTRIES 300 LEA BLVD WILMINGTON DE 19802 CUSTODIAL & TEMP SERVICES 6022192 OPPORTUNITY CENTER 3030 BOWERS STREET WILMINGTON DE 19899 CUSTODIAL SERVICES 665287 CONNECTIONS 500 WEST 10TH STREET WILMINGTON DE 19801 CUSTODIAL & TEMP SERVICES 337455 CHIMES METRO INC 514 INTERCHANGE BLVD NEWARK DE 19711 CUSTODIAL SERVICES 323104 EASTER SEALS - NCC 61 CORPORATE CIRCLE NEW CASTLE DE 19720 CUSTODIAL SERVICES 237909 5 202595 202595 CONTRACT REVENUE 900099 8041468 8041468 8041468 918 918 PAPER PRODUCT INCOME 900099 176750 176750 TRAINING INCOME 900099 12945 12945 ASSOCIATION FUNCTIONS 900099 2296 2296 191991 8436972 8233459 0 918 113326 50997 62329 199198 109859 89339 591 301 290 21448 10938 10510 30122 15362 14760 14815 14815 37224 37224 15683 15683 21396 21396 28975 28975 5985 5985 7308 3727 3581 SUBCONTRACTS 7604475 7604475 PAPER PRODUCT 176750 176750 ADULT FOSTER CARE 37341 37341 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 14866 14866 49195 13468 35727 8378698 8023218 355480 0 1212133 1182552 667061 898732 41370 6240 16955 7352 12544 9603 11568 1933108 2108695 534834 640608 9265 20804 544099 661412 X 1389009 1447283 1389009 1447283 1933108 2108695 58274 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 177262 182981 171014 185898 202595 919750 177262 182981 171014 185898 202595 919750 919750 2939 1663 899 776 918 7195 6114 8845 16872 17079 15241 64151 991096 728704 0.92800 0.92860 X 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 37224 0 0 37224 0 16955 7352 9603 9603 ACCRUED PAYROLL AND PAYROLL TAXES 8890 COMPENSATED ABSENCES 11914 20804 X 8436972 0 8436972 0 8436972 8378698 0 8378698 0 8378698 PART X, LINE 2: NOT APPLICABLE SUB-CONTRACTORS ON STATE USE CONTRACTS 0 CONSULTING FORMER DIRECTOR 5663 CONSULTING SERVICES 0 FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 2 ONE MEMBER OF THE FY 2015 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE (BOARD PRESIDENT DENNIS DAPOLITO) WORKED WITH A COMMISSION CHAIR WHO SAT ON THE FY 2015 BOARD OF DIRECTORS (CINDY STERLING) AT SERVICESOURCE.
