The state has backed down and our local services will remain under local control. I am exhausted by this fight but relieved that our demand for transparency won out in the end. We need to stay watchful to ensure they keep their word.
As you may know, the Department of Human Services and the Division for Development Disabilities presented a letter to the Joint Budget Committee designating Developmental Pathways of Denver to take over Community Center Board services as of May 9, 2009.
Parents, Self-advocates and Stakeholders in the Pikes Peak Region have multiple concerns with this arrangement.
Our main concerns are:
*Local stakeholders had absolutely no input in this decision.
* The decision appears to have been made without a formal bidding process or Request for Proposal (RFP).
* Developmental Pathways is a CCB in the Denver area - local control/input has the potential to be lost in the behind-closed-door insiders deal.
*The thousands of people who receive services from TRE need and deserve to be a part of the decision making process.
*Local CCB options (such as NTSOC)were not considered.
This is a free petition. Please do not donate any money to this cause. Thank you.
One hundred people have signed on to challenge this behind closed doors decision. I am exhausted by how difficult it is to get any answers about our local services. We are not stopping until we get the transparency we deserve.

Why was there no bidding process? Feels like someone is hiding something. TRE has been fine for years.

What a joke. Another back room deal that hurts the people who actually need help.

This is just wrong. We need to keep control local where people actually understand our community needs. Stop ignoring us.

So tired of decisions being made for us without even asking. We want our own local board.

Totally unfair to cut the local stakeholders out of this. We are the ones who actually deal with these services daily.
