(a) County Human Services Advisory Councils shall:
1. Maintain
a clearly identified structure and operational procedures specified in the
by-laws;
2. Maintain an allocation
process for increases, reductions or reallocation of available funding, which,
at a minimum, includes a request for proposals process (in accordance with
N.J.A.C. 10:3-3), a proposal review process, an appeals process, and a
conflict of interest policy. These processes should be documented in writing,
and be available to the public in accordance with N.J.S.A. 47:1A-2:
i. The appeals process shall, at a minimum,
be sent to each applicant agency responding to a CHSAC's Request for Proposal
for Department of Human Services' and Department of Children and Families'
funding. The appeals committee shall consist of membership that is devoid of
conflict of interest;
ii. The
conflict of interest policy shall, at a minimum, preclude CHSAC members from
participating in their official capacity in discussions and/or decision making
regarding funding or monitoring of, programs for which they are employed, serve
as a board member or as a volunteer, have family ties or have a financial
interest. Members should review the potential for conflict on an annual basis
and, as needed, provide full disclosure pertaining to ties to service providers
relative to themselves and family members; and
3. Maintain a contract review policy for all
renewals of purchase-of-service contracts funded through the CHSAC allocation
recommendation process, to determine continued compliance with the County Human
Services Plan priorities, to assess qualitative aspects of the contracts, and
to ensure that the services are still being directed toward the target
populations. Renewal recommendations shall be submitted to the appropriate
contracting Division and, when appropriate, to the County Freeholder Director
or County Executive. State Law (30:4-24.3)
concerning confidentiality of client records shall determine their
accessibility to the CHSACs for the purposes of contract review.

Waiver requests, which violate the policy goal of protection of the interests of at risk, disabled and minority populations or provisions of this chapter shall not be approved. Waivers shall apply for a term of one year.
