administrative agent for the council from among the following	241
public entities: the board of alcohol, drug addiction, and mental	242

or a community mental health board if the county is served by	244
separate boards; the board of county commissioners; any board of	245
health of the county's city and general health districts; the	246
county department of job and family services; the county agency	247
responsible for the administration of children services pursuant	248
to section 5153.15 of the Revised Code; the county board of mental	249

boards of education or governing boards of educational service	251
centers; or the county's juvenile court. Any of the foregoing	252
public entities, other than the board of county commissioners, may	253
decline to serve as the council's administrative agent.	254

A county council's administrative agent shall serve as the	255
council's appointing authority for any employees of the council.	256
The council shall file an annual budget with its administrative	257
agent, with copies filed with the county auditor and with the	258
board of county commissioners, unless the board is serving as the	259
council's administrative agent. The council's administrative agent	260
shall ensure that all expenditures are handled in accordance with	261
policies, procedures, and activities prescribed by state	262
departments in rules or interagency agreements that are applicable	263
to the council's functions.	264

The administrative agent of a county council shall send	265
notice of a member's absence if a member listed in division (B)(1)	266
of this section has been absent from either three consecutive	267
meetings of the county council or a county council subcommittee,	268
or from one-quarter of such meetings in a calendar year, whichever	269
is less. The notice shall be sent to the board of county	270
commissioners that establishes the county council and, for the	271
members listed in divisions (B)(1)(b), (c), (e), and (l) of this	272
section, to the governing board overseeing the respective entity;	273
for the member listed in division (B)(1)(f) of this section, to	274
the county board of mental retardation and developmental	275
disabilities that employs the superintendent; for a member listed	276
in division (B)(1)(g) or (h) of this section, to the school board	277
that employs the superintendent; for the member listed in division	278
(B)(1)(i) of this section, to the mayor of the municipal	279
corporation; for the member listed in division (B)(1)(k) of this	280
section, to the director of youth services; and for the member	281
listed in division (B)(1)(n), to that member's board of trustees.	282

The administrative agent for a county council may do any of	283
the following on behalf of the council:	284

(i) Enter into agreements or administer contracts with public	285
or private entities to fulfill specific council business. Such	286
agreements and contracts are exempt from the competitive bidding	287
requirements of section 307.86 of the Revised Code if they have	288
been approved by the county council and they are for the purchase	289
of family and child welfare or child protection services or other	290
social or job and family services for families and children. The	291
approval of the county council is not required to exempt	292
agreements or contracts entered into under section 5139.34,	293
5139.41, or 5139.43 of the Revised Code from the competitive	294
bidding requirements of section 307.86 of the Revised Code.	295

(ii) As determined by the council, provide financial	296
stipends, reimbursements, or both, to family representatives for	297
expenses related to council activity;	298

(iii) Receive by gift, grant, devise, or bequest any moneys,	299
lands, or other property for the purposes for which the council is	300
established. The agent shall hold, apply, and dispose of the	301
moneys, lands, or other property according to the terms of the	302
gift, grant, devise, or bequest. Any interest or earnings shall be	303
treated in the same manner and are subject to the same terms as	304
the gift, grant, devise, or bequest from which it accrues.	305

(b)(i) If the county council designates the board of county	306
commissioners as its administrative agent, the board may, by	307
resolution, delegate any of its powers and duties as	308
administrative agent to an executive committee the board	309
establishes from the membership of the county council. The board	310
shall name to the executive committee at least the individuals	311
described in divisions (B)(1)(a)(b) to (i)(h) of this section and	312
may appoint the president of the board or another individual as	313
the chair of the executive committee. The executive committee must	314
include at least one family county council representative who does	315
not have a family member employed by an agency represented on the	316
council.	317

(ii) The executive committee may, with the approval of the	318
board, hire an executive director to assist the county council in	319
administering its powers and duties. The executive director shall	320
serve in the unclassified civil service at the pleasure of the	321
executive committee. The executive director may, with the approval	322
of the executive committee, hire other employees as necessary to	323
properly conduct the county council's business.	324

(iii) The board may require the executive committee to submit	325
an annual budget to the board for approval and may amend or repeal	326
the resolution that delegated to the executive committee its	327
authority as the county council's administrative agent.	328

(5)(6) Two or more county councils may enter into an	329
agreement to administer their county councils jointly by creating	330
a regional family and children first council. A regional council	331
possesses the same duties and authority possessed by a county	332
council, except that the duties and authority apply regionally	333
rather than to individual counties. Prior to entering into an	334
agreement to create a regional council, the members of each county	335
council to be part of the regional council shall meet to determine	336
whether all or part of the members of each county council will	337
serve as members of the regional council.	338

(6)(7) A board of county commissioners may approve a	339
resolution by a majority vote of the board's members that requires	340
the county council to submit a statement to the board each time	341
the council proposes to enter into an agreement, adopt a plan, or	342
make a decision, other than a decision pursuant to section 121.38	343
of the Revised Code, that requires the expenditure of funds for	344
two or more families. The statement shall describe the proposed	345
agreement, plan, or decision.	346

Not later than fifteen days after the board receives the	347
statement, it shall, by resolution approved by a majority of its	348
members, approve or disapprove the agreement, plan, or decision.	349
Failure of the board to pass a resolution during that time period	350
shall be considered approval of the agreement, plan, or decision.	351

An agreement, plan, or decision for which a statement is	352
required to be submitted to the board shall be implemented only if	353
it is approved by the board.	354

(C) Each county shall develop a county service coordination	355
mechanism. The county service coordination mechanism shall serve	356
as the guiding document for coordination of services in the	357
county. For children who also receive services under the help me	358
grow program, the service coordination mechanism shall be	359
consistent with rules adopted by the department of health under	360
section 3701.61 of the Revised Code. All family service	361
coordination plans shall be developed in accordance with the	362
county service coordination mechanism. The mechanism shall be	363
developed and approved with the participation of the county	364
entities representing child welfare; mental retardation and	365
developmental disabilities; alcohol, drug addiction, and mental	366
health services; health; juvenile judges; education; the county	367
family and children first council; and the county early	368
intervention collaborative established pursuant to the federal	369
early intervention program operated under the "Education of the	370
Handicapped Act Amendments of 1986Individuals with Disabilities	371
Education Act of 2004." The county shall establish an	372
implementation schedule for the mechanism. The cabinet council may	373
monitor the implementation and administration of each county's	374
service coordination mechanism.	375

Each mechanism shall include all of the following:

376

(1) A procedure for an agency, including a juvenile court, or	377
a family voluntarily seeking service coordination, to refer the	378
child and family to the county council for service coordination in	379
accordance with the county service coordination mechanism;	380

(2) A procedure ensuring that a family and all appropriate	381
staff from involved agencies, including a representative from the	382
appropriate school district, are notified of and invited to	383
participate in all family service coordination plan meetings;	384

(3) A procedure that permits a family to initiate a meeting	385
to develop or review the family's service coordination plan and	386
allows the family to invite a family advocate, mentor, or support	387
person of the family's choice to participate in any such meeting;	388

(4) A procedure for ensuring that a family service	389
coordination plan meeting is conducted before a non-emergency	390
nonemergency out-of-home placement for all multi-need children, or	391
within ten days of a placement for emergency placements of	392
multi-need children. The family service coordination plan shall	393
outline how the county council members will jointly pay for	394
services, where applicable, and provide services in the least	395
restrictive environment.	396

(5) A procedure for monitoring the progress and tracking the	397
outcomes of each service coordination plan requested in the county	398
including monitoring and tracking children in out-of-home	399
placements to assure continued progress, appropriateness of	400
placement, and continuity of care after discharge from placement	401
with appropriate arrangements for housing, treatment, and	402
education.	403

(6) A procedure for protecting the confidentiality of all	404
personal family information disclosed during service coordination	405
meetings or contained in the comprehensive family service	406
coordination plan.	407

(7) A procedure for assessing the needs and strengths of any	408
child or family that has been referred to the council for service	409
coordination, including a child whose parent or custodian is	410
voluntarily seeking services, and for ensuring that parents and	411
custodians are afforded the opportunity to participate;	412

(8) A procedure for development of a family service	413
coordination plan described in division (D) of this section;	414

(9) A local dispute resolution process to serve as the	415
process that must be used first to resolve disputes among the	416
agencies represented on the county council concerning the	417
provision of services to children, including children who are	418
abused, neglected, dependent, unruly, alleged unruly, or	419
delinquent children and under the jurisdiction of the juvenile	420
court and children whose parents or custodians are voluntarily	421
seeking services. The local dispute resolution process shall	422
comply with sectionsections 121.38, 121.381, and 121.382 of the	423
Revised Code. The local dispute resolution process shall be used	424
to resolve disputes between a child's parents or custodians and	425
the county council regarding service coordination. The county	426
council shall inform the parents or custodians of their right to	427
use the dispute resolution process. Parents or custodians shall	428
use existing local agency grievance procedures to address disputes	429
not involving service coordination. The dispute resolution process	430
is in addition to and does not replace other rights or procedures	431
that parents or custodians may have under other sections of the	432
Revised Code.	433

The cabinet council shall adopt rules in accordance with	434
Chapter 119. of the Revised Code establishing an administrative	435
review process to address problems that arise concerning the	436
operation of a local dispute resolution process.	437

Nothing in division (C)(4) of this section shall be	438
interpreted as overriding or affecting decisions of a juvenile	439
court regarding an out-of-home placement, long-term placement, or	440
emergency out-of-home placement.	441

(D) Each county shall develop a comprehensive family service	442
coordination plan that does all of the following:	443

state and local agencies that provide services to children and	445
their families, including children who are abused, neglected,	446

custodians are voluntarily seeking services;	449

(2) Designates an individual, approved by the family, to	450
track the progress of the family service coordination plan,	451
schedule reviews as necessary, and facilitate the family service	452
coordination plan meeting process;	453
