Agenda
Board Chair Executive Report - Jonathan Landsman
OCHN Board Chairman’s Report for December 2022
Elections
With the elections finally over, it’s gotten very quiet for the remainder of 2022.
- The County-Wide SMART proposition – passed. Transportation has been and continues a problem to the members we serve. Our Board is now asking
- how we (OCHN) can leverage some of this new additional funding to expand our transportation
- how SMART will be expanding services across the county, specifically to those we serve.
- December’s Lame Duck session was pretty quiet. There were efforts to get approval on Senate bills 597 & 598 but they failed. While this is now dead for 2022, we need to stay vigilant, as there will be someone who will continue to push forward this kind of reckless agenda in the new year.
CMHA
It seems like we just had a fall conference and now we’re talking about the winter CMHA conference
- Tue/Wed Feb 7 & 8 over in Kalamazoo. Please let Sheila know if you are interested in attending.
Thanks to all
At this time of the year, I want to take a moment and thank
- My fellow OCHN Board Members and their active involvement on this Board, this is a volunteer commitment – that’s in addition to their regular jobs, supporting their communities, and to supporting their families.
- To our OCHN Leadership & Staff,
- Core Providers and their Leadership & Staff, and
- Most importantly to the direct providers and their staff
- These are the people who work tirelessly, sometimes around the clock, dedicated to supporting the nearly 25,000 persons and families we serve,
- supporting our mission to "inspire hope, empower people, and strengthen communities".
Thank you’s to all of you as we wrap-up this year and look ahead to next year
The Board discussed and approved moving the January Study Session to February 2, 2022 which will cover January and February Study sessions.

Board Approvals Items (Recommendations for approval from the Finance Committee)
CEO PTO Recommendation
The OCHN Human Resources Team is seeking approval for a one-time PTO payout of 224 hours to Dana Lasenby at 100% ($27,101.76).
Background
Dana Lasenby’s contract grants her 200 hours of PTO annually on January 1st. In late June 2022, it was brought to HR’s attention that the amount granted for the years 2021 and 2022 was incorrect in the HRIS system. The HRIS system was posting PTO hours to Ms. Lasenby’s balance per our standard accrual policy based on her hire date, rather than the 200 as called for under the contract. Our analysis reveals that, for the calendar year 2021, one hundred twenty (120) hours were not credited, and in 2022 one hundred and four (104) hours were not credited. For the two years a total of 224 hours were not credited to her balance. On July 8, 2022, HR contacted the HRIS provider (ADP) and corrected the balance.
The OCHN maximum PTO Policy is as follows:
The maximum accumulation for employees is based on one and one-half years’ worth of PTO eligibility. Any PTO balance in excess of the maximum accumulation will not be carried forward past the last day of the end of the year holiday pay period. Employees will receive a payout of their excess accumulated PTO at 50% of their salary as of the last pay period to be paid out in the last pay in December or the first pay period in January.
Reason for Request
To resolve the administrative error this calendar year and prevent a carry-over of the corrected balance into the 2023 calendar year. If the correct amount were reflected in the HRIS system on schedule, Ms. Lasenby would have had the opportunity to take PTO at 100% at her discretion throughout the 2021 and 2022 calendar years. The carry-over of any amount of this correction would be posted on our general ledger as a financial liability and eventually only paid out at 50% of its value. If approved, this request will make Ms. Lasenby whole for the hours not properly posted and she had no opportunity to take.
