361.16 
(h) Functions and (i) Resources 


 
Item 

Have we 
done this 
in the last 
12 
months? 

 
How? 

h1: The SRC is to provide 
oversight of the entire 
agency system in such a 
manner that affords the 
council opportunity to 
provide advice to the agency 
on challenges and successes 
as they directly relate to the 
individuals served. 

 


 

h2: The SRC must be 
involved with the creation of 
the agency goals and 
priorities as they relate to 
their service delivery 
system. 

 


 

h3: The SRC must be 
involved in the state plan as 
required by the state unit 
under the Act. This includes 
authoring Section 4.2 of the 
state plan and assuring that 
the council has a mechanism 
to garner input from the 
public with regard to the 
needs of Michigan citizens 
with disabilities. 

 


 

h4: The SRC must conduct 

 

 




 Item 

Have we 
done this 
in the last 
12 
months? 

 
How? 

a review of consumer 
satisfaction with regard to 
the agency’s service 
delivery system. An analysis 
should be made of the 
findings. 

 


h5: The SRC must author an 
annual report which 
summarizes the past fiscal 
year activities of the agency 
and council. The report must 
be submitted to RSA and the 
governor within 30 days of 
the end of the calendar year. 

 


 

h6: The SRC must assure 
that they have established 
partnerships with statewide 
partner organizations, such 
as the SILC, the 
Developmental Disabilities 
Council, Advisory Council 
on Mental Illness, the 
Workforce Board, etc. 

 


 

h7: The SRC must enhance 
the relationships between 
the IL/CIL network in our 
state with the agency. 

 


 

h8: A new twist on “all 
other duties as assigned”: 
the council has the 
opportunity to determine 
other areas of interest, 
within keeping of the Act. 

 


 

i1: The council must create 

 

 




 Item 

Have we

months? 

 
How? 

an annual resource plan to 
negotiate with the agency. 

 


i4: The council is expected 
to supervise and evaluate 
their staff. 

 


 

i5: The agency staff 
involved with the council 
must not be council 
employees, to avoid a 
conflict of interest.
