Following that action, staff drafted appropriate language amending the City's funding agreement with OUR HOUSE and forwarded it for their Board of Directors' consideration. At the Council meeting of September 16, 1975, Mr. Bob Torres-Stanovik, President of the OUR HOUSE Board of Directors, indicated that the Board had approved submitting applications for grant funding through the City Council. For some reason though, formal action was never taken to amend the City's Community Promotions agreement with OUR HOUSE. It may have been that the required action was assumed to have been incorporated in the arrangements surrounding the grant sponsorship. However, both parties have been operating as if a new agreement was in effect. The above error may prove to have been fortuitous. Staff has learned from OUR HOUSE that submissions of grant proposals via the City Council can often prove extremely difficult if not impossible. Many of the funding sources from which they seek support have severely limited application response times. In addition, the City Attorney has commented that required City approval of all grant applications could expose the City to liability for all OUR HOUSE programs and procedures funded by these arrangements. Council may wish to seriously consider the above problems prior to adopting the pro- posed amended agreement. continued.....

Staff has no specific comments to make on this project other than the liability question raised previously.

Current Program ~raluation (attached) . ~,ghlig~ts (Section I) from tha Touch-Ross review and progr~~a eval~:ation of Qur Eiouse completed December, 1975 for the National Institute on Drug Abuse. ~. kited 6 month analysis of Legal Clinic Services tabulated by the Student Coordinator from Cal ati'estern University. '~rf 1. Touche-itoss & Go. December 1975 SECTION I HIGHLIGHTS A. GENERAL Our House, Inc. is a private, non-profit corporation providing drug free outpatient services to t:~e yout'r:s of the South Bay community of San Diego County. Facilities are located at 6G6 Third Avenue. in Chula Vista. Our House offers services to both drug and non-drug adolescents. Currently, the typical client intake process involves voluntary walk-in ' to the Drop In Center and immediate informal counseling and registration with Our house. If a drug problem is diagnosed subsequently, the client is administratively transferred to 'the drug program. Transfer to the drug program does not necessarily involve changes in treatment; the common•treat- ment to both drug and non-drug populations are the concepts of -`~"neutral space" and relationship building. Formal counseling is mandatory only for clients referred from the criminal justice system. Budgeted sources of funds for the drug treatment program only are $189,000 for the fiscal year ending May 31, 1976. NIDA funds Our douse directly through an H-80 grant at tho ron-poverty rate of 70~. Matching requirements are met approximately fifty-two percent from state and local agencies and forty-eight percent from volunteer services. Current level of funding permits Our House to treat 108 drug free outpatient slots. Although Our House is experi- ~ncing a declining census, the average for the five months ended October 31, 1975 was 102. B. .PROGRAM STREI~'GTHS Our findings regarding management strengths and weal;nesse at Our House are based on observations of those systems and pro- cedures in effect at the time of our review. The following is a summary of the major strengths we observed. A flexible organization, able to adjust quickly to changing community and client needs A consentual management process which involves all management in major decisions, aids communica- tion throughout the organization,. and assigns responsibility for implementation ,i . -1- ~~~ Clear definition of roles within the organization ~; .. Qualified and dedicated management staff, with very little turnover at that level . Comprehensive training programs .. Effective use of volunteer and field placement staff Effective use of outside consultants to assist in medical and accounting services Five month average documented census of 102, ' within six percent of NTDA approved static matrix of 108 Use of standardized forms in the client :records • Strong community outreach and involvement through efforts of Our House and its Board of Directors C. PROGRAM WEAKNESSES During our review we also noted a number of program ~:eaknesses. Tn summar,~, these are: ' Need to restructure Board to meet goals of broad community representation and effective supervisory body - ___.._ Need for formal planning process which would es- tablish specific measurable objectives Need for formal self-evaluation, process to monitor program objectives Need for formal evaluation of~staff members on a regular basis to measure professional development and to measure performance against staff members . "contracts" . Need for improved personnel records Need to document drug history, and drug treatment ' in client files need to simplify client record keeping system ~~ -2- G~SG' Need to improve counselor notes for "informal" counseling sessions Need to improve fiscal internal controls in areas where-there is a lack of segregation of duties and independent controls, e.g. cash disbursements, . petty cash, payroll preparation D. RECOMPdENDATIONS FOR CORREC~'IVE ACTION Our House management-was aware of many of the problems we observed during our review and, in many cases, was planning" to take steps to correct them. Our recom~-nendations for correc- tive action include the following: The Executive Board be expanded to include all active working Board members - plus additions from the business and political com.~-c-unity - the balance of the members becoming.. the nucleus of a purely advisory group The current planning process be expanded to in- clude formalizing specific measurable objectives on a regular basis, and to create an evaluator -• function to monitor progress toward program objectives Personnel records be expanded~to include histories, wage scales, attendance at training programs, and formal annual evaluations Client filing system be simplified by combining the current dual system into one, and including --•- CODAP _forms in the merged file ' --- -- - Counselor drug treatment notes and histories be .documented in client files "Informal" counseling sessions be redefined, and counselor notes in this area improved _ + -3- -~,y TABU OP,r.
