9. CHSLD Future Issues New state wide statutes complicating running of districts Open Meeting Act - Unintended consequences Effectively made 3 person boards impossible to run Two members cannot meet without OMA issues Freedom of Information Act - Beware of what you ask for Opens the possibility of financial expenses for gathering and providing district information to requestors Recently a downstate group requested information (threat of more to come) Repair costs Rising in general due to aging Single supplier (so far has held costs reasonable) Trustee replacement will be more difficult 2 of 3 have been in place > 20 years (2 are planning to retire) More complexity than early days – certifications required
