Finding Text

2023-001 NONCOMPLIANCE - SPECIAL TESTING AND PROVISIONS Criteria: Community Social Block Grants requires a tripartite board of directors that consist of diverse backgrounds while representing board principals. Condition: During our testing we found that the board of directors was not in compliance with the requirements of the tripartite board requirements. Cause: While CAPNM has made good faith efforts to recruit board members to comply with this requirement, properly filling the Flathead County government sector board seat has been a challenge. Effects: Health and Human Services could consider CAPNM out of compliance with the Community Services Block Grants requirements. Recommendation: We recommend CAPNM continues its search to fulfill the tripartite requirement associated with board representation.
