DCFS Advisory Board (see description for special asks)
Cuyahoga County Children and Family Services Advisory BoardUsual meeting information is below. We have some special asks for the notetaker only related to this assignment that we want to mention up front:
Special to this assignment for the notetaker only: We’re working with City Bureau to pilot a new AI-generated resource to help Documenters know what to expect about specific meetings before they cover them. If you take this assignment, we’ll be asking you to spend some time with that resource ahead of the meeting and provide feedback afterward about how it did and didn’t help you document the meeting. We will also invite you to a debrief meeting with a few other Documenters staff and fellow Documenters (from Cleveland, as well as Detroit and Chicago) to share your feedback on the resource. For this, we will pay an additional 2.5 hours ($45) on top of the pay for the normal assignment work. That’s $18 for using the resource for meeting prep and assignment completion as you do and don’t see fit, and $27 for the feedback meeting, which will likely be 90 minutes (meeting date and time to be determined). We’ll let you know when that resource is available for you to use. It is built using previous Documenters coverage of this meeting.
The Cuyahoga County Division of Children and Family Services Advisory Board (DCFS Board) was established by Ohio law as an advisory committee on children services. It can have up to ten members who shall provide independent perspective and feedback to the county and the Cuyahoga County Division of Children and Family Services leadership. The DCFS Board also serves as a link between the division and the community it serves. The DCFS Board is advisory in nature only and does not have any decision-making authority over DCFS or the county.
Note for Documenters: There is no recording to go back to for this meeting. You can attend in person or by joining a virtual Microsoft Teams link. There are separate notetaking and audio roles on this assignment. Notetaker: It may be helpful for your coverage to record your own audio of the meeting, but it is not a requirement of your assignment. On the audio assignment? Learn more about the audio roles.

Attending in person? We add two hours of pay ($36) to the assignment. You may need a photo ID. For County Council meetings, complimentary parking for the public is available in the attached garage at 900 Prospect. We do not know if the parking comp applies to meetings of this body, but it doesn’t hurt to ask. If you give it a shot, let us know what happens! A skywalk extends from the garage to provide additional entry to the headquarters from the 5th floor parking level of the garage. For County Council meetings, visitors parking at the 900 Prospect Avenue Garage can use the Metropolis Parking app to receive parking validation from County Council. Downloading the Metropolis app on your smartphone and creating an account is one way to have parking validated at Council and Committee meetings. Attendees will be required to scan a QR code available only in the C. Ellen Connally Council Chambers. They will then be taken to their Metropolis app or the Metropolis web browser and will be asked to enter their license plate information for the parking to be validated. You may not need the app to validate parking.
