We will complete design for the first iteration and begin development at that time. Some design for later features will continue through January and February. This approach will allow construction to start earlier with the goal of finishing in May, instead of June. Discussion revealed that DSHS will build a crosswalk of their codes to the standard codes being developed. Other agencies will adopt the standard codes.
Most agencies don t have codes yet.
Agencies will review the list and provide additional codes back to Laura by January 12 th . She will bring a revised list to the next user group on January 17 th . The group agreed that given the varied types and difficulty of assuring that the information in the database would be correct, and the importance of assuring this information is correct, that this field should be eliminated. Instead, links will be provided to the Federal Debarment Database at appropriate places in the system. There is concern that these won t be maintained.
