RE: Budget Questions


Good evening,

It would be great if we could meet to discuss the presentation. I am requesting the possibility of new positions. The grant writer has not been put in the budget estimate and is more of a question. The Trainer/QA/Admin supervisor is proposed as a new position but could conceivable be a way to address the problem of not being able to hire an Adult Medicaid QA (and ultimately eliminate that position).



I have a Teams meeting scheduled with Jesse Smathers at 9:30 tomorrow which you are welcome to join. I am available before and after that meeting tomorrow morning. I’m also available early afternoon on Friday.

I have several budget questions from your report that you will submit on Monday night. It seems like you are proposing on adding positions? I may be misunderstanding but would like to discuss before conversation with Commissioners? Please advise. Thanks, Rick
