CESA (Cooperative Educational Services Agency) Head Start Lease Request: Griffin introduced
Haight and Johnson stating there is an interconnection between our programs. Head Start has
asked to lease the gym in our building on an annual basis for two Head Start classrooms and
teacher offices. The rent they have proposed is $450.00 per month for 3,200 square feet. Any
renovation of the area would be at the expense of CESA and upon termination of the lease the
area would be restored to the prior condition. CESA had a lease drawn up and Corp Counsel
is looking it over. Head Start is a Federally funded program operated by CESA 11. The
program would provide pre-school services during the school year to children between the ages
of 3 and 5 and a Parent -Childhood Program for parents and their infants ages birth to three.
About 32 children would be in the classrooms morning and afternoon. Head Start provides
bussing for the children and contracts for meals and snacks to be brought to the site.
Administration supports the proposal on the basis of revenues generated and inter -program
collaboration with Public Health, Birth to Three, etc. Discussion followed.
MOTION: A motion was introduced by Stephens, seconded by Bailey, and unanimously
adopted: That the Health and Human Services Board approve CESA to rent the gym in the
amount of $450.00 per month upon the approval of the lease from Corp Counsel.

staffing changes in the nursing home. The percentage of staffing changes was larger for Non -
Union than Union staff. Discussion followed.
Vehicle Lease: Kiesler was present to request permission to re -new the lease for three Ford

Appointment to Family Support/Birth to Three Advisory Committee: Borup stated Norma
Vrieze, Director, Birth to Three Early Intervention Program, has two openings on their Family

Electronic SLipervision Program: Definition: Electronic Supervision is a system that
electronically monitors a person at a specific location. The equipment consists of an ankle
transmitter worn by the client and a field monitoring device. This device is installed in the
client's home using a standard telephone jack and power line. The field monitoring device
regularly monitors the transmitter and reports information to the host computer system. Dunlap
stated one of the benefits to electronic monitoring is to provide an additional non -secure
placement alternative for juveniles maintaining them in their own homes and school districts.
A contract has been sent to Greg Timmerman, Corp Counsel, to look over. The parents are
responsible for the daily rate of approximately $5.00 for each day their child is on the
monitoring system. Discussion followed.
MOTION: A motion was introduced by Limberg, seconded by Stephens, and unanimously
adopted: That the Health and Human Services Board approve the Electronic Monitoring upon
approval of the contract by Corp Counsel.
