The ((~~family policy council~~)) department shall:

(1) Establish network boundaries no later than July 1, 1994. There is a presumption that no county may be divided between two or more community networks and no network shall have fewer than forty thousand population. When approving multicounty networks, considering dividing a county between networks, or creating a network with a population of less than forty thousand, the ((~~council~~)) department must consider: (a) Common economic, geographic, and social interests; (b) historical and existing shared governance; and (c) the size and location of population centers. Individuals and groups within any area shall be given ample opportunity to propose network boundaries in a manner designed to assure full consideration of their expressed wishes;

(3) Approve the structure, purpose, goals, plan, and performance measurements of each community network;

(5) Reward community networks that show exceptional success as provided in RCW 43.41.195;

(6) Seek every opportunity to maximize federal and other funding that is consistent with the plans approved by the ((~~council~~)) department for the purpose and goals of this chapter;

(7) Review the state-funded out-of-home placement rate before the end of each contract to determine whether the region has sufficiently reduced the rate. If the ((~~council~~)) department determines that there has not been a sufficient reduction in the rate, it may reduce the immediately succeeding grant to the network;

(8)(a) The ((~~council~~)) department shall monitor the implementation of programs contracted by participating state agencies by reviewing periodic reports on the extent to which services were delivered to intended populations, the quality of services, and the extent to which service outcomes were achieved at the conclusion of service interventions. This monitoring shall include provision for periodic feedback to community networks;

(b) The legislature intends that this monitoring be used by the Washington state institute for public policy, together with public health data on at-risk behaviors and risk and protective factors, to produce an external evaluation of the effectiveness of the networks and their programs. For this reason, and to conserve public funds, the ((~~council~~)) department shall not conduct or contract for the conduct of control group studies, quasi-experimental design studies, or other analysis efforts to attempt to determine the impact of network programs on at-risk behaviors or risk and protective factors; and

(9) Review the implementation of chapter 7, Laws of 1994 sp. sess. The report shall use measurable performance standards to evaluate the implementation.

Sec. 7. RCW 70.190.110 and 1998 c 245 s 124 are each amended to read as follows:

(i) Crisis residential care;

(j) Victims' assistance;

(k) Foster care;

(l) Adoption support;

(m) Continuum of care; and

(n) Drug and alcohol abuse prevention and early intervention in schools.

(3) In determining the desirability of decategorizing these programs the report shall analyze whether:

(a) The program is an integral part of the comprehensive plan without decategorization;

(b) The program is already adequately integrated and coordinated with other programs that are, or will be, funded by the network;

(d) The program goals might receive greater community support and reinforcement through the network;

(e) The program presently ensures that adequate follow-up efforts are utilized, and whether the network could improve on those efforts through decategorization of the funds;

(f) The decategorization would benefit the community; and

(g) The decategorization would assist the network in achieving its goals.

(4) If the ((~~council~~)) department or a network determines that a program should not be decategorized, the ((~~council~~)) department or network shall make recommendations regarding programmatic changes that are necessary to improve the coordination and integration of services and programs, regardless of the funding source for those programs.

Sec. 8. RCW 70.190.130 and 1998 c 314 s 13 are each amended to read as follows:

(1) The ((~~council~~)) department shall only disburse funds to a network after a comprehensive plan has been prepared by the network and approved by the ((~~council~~)) department. In approving the plan the ((~~council~~)) department shall consider whether the network:

(b) Reviewed the indicators of violence data compiled by the local public health departments and incorporated a response to those indicators in the plan;

(c) Obtained a declaration by the largest health department within the network boundary, indicating whether the plan meets minimum standards for assessment and policy development relating to social development according to RCW 43.70.555;

(d) Included a specific mechanism of data collection and transmission based on the rules established under RCW 43.70.555;

(e) Considered all relevant causes of violence in its community and did not isolate only one or a few of the elements to the exclusion of others and demonstrated evidence of building community capacity through effective neighborhood and community development;

(f) Considered youth employment and job training programs outlined in this chapter as a strategy to reduce the rate of at-risk children and youth;

(g) Integrated local programs that met the network's priorities and were deemed successful by the network;

(h) Committed to make measurable reductions in the rate of at-risk children and youth by reducing the rate of state-funded out-of-home placements and make reductions in at least three of the following rates of youth: Violent criminal acts, substance abuse, pregnancy and male parentage, suicide attempts, dropping out of school, child abuse or neglect, and domestic violence; and

(i) Held a public hearing on its proposed comprehensive plan and submitted to the ((~~council~~)) department all of the written comments received at the hearing and a copy of the minutes taken at the hearing.

(2) The ((~~council~~)) department may establish a maximum amount to be expended by a network for purposes of planning and administrative duties, that shall not, in total, exceed ten percent of funds available to a network. The ((~~council~~)) department shall make recommendations to the legislature regarding the specific maximum amounts that can be spent by a network or group of networks on planning and administrative duties. The recommendation may provide differing percentages, considering the size of the budgets of each network and giving consideration to whether there should be a higher percentage for administrative and planning purposes in budgets for smaller networks and a smaller percentage of the budgets for administration and planning purposes in larger networks.

(3) The ((~~council~~)) department may determine that a network is not in compliance with this chapter if it fails to comply with statutory requirements. Upon a determination of noncompliance, the ((~~council~~)) department may suspend or revoke a network's status or contract and specify a process and deadline for the network's compliance.

Sec. 9. RCW 70.190.150 and 1994 sp.s. c 7 s 312 are each amended to read as follows:

If there exist any federal restrictions against the transfer of funds, for the programs enumerated in RCW 70.190.110 (as recodified by this act), to the community networks, the ((~~council~~)) department shall assist the governor in immediately applying to the federal government for waivers of the federal restrictions.
