DATE OF NEXT MEETING: Wednesday, April 9 1997 at 1.30pm In the Board
Room of the Human Services Complex in New Richmond
UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
Wisconsin Department of Health & Family Services 1997-1999 Biennial Budget
request was discussed with Ron Lockwood handing out a summary of the Governor's
Budget. Note that the items are statewide, so some of them may not affect us at the
county level much. Example: 75 slot increase for CIP1 B statewide may not even yield
St. Croix County any slots. Ron Lockwood noted that Item #6 is a very good deal
explaining that CIP1 A is for those persons discharged from Northern Center. Most of
the persons still in that institution would need extensive services in the community to
make their placements work; making the costs of the placement more than others who
are already placed in the community.
American Heritage Alzheimer's Unit, Hammond WI. Shannon DeWulf, Alzheimer
Coordinator gave a presentation of the Alzheimer Unit. It has been opened for about
one year now. They have a capacity for ten residents; has a secured unit with
WanderGuard Bracelets. Shannon discussed the care philosophy for the residents and
handed out information on admission guidelines/information and services provided.
This information will be passed along to let persons at St. Croix Human Services know
of the facility.
NEW BUSINESS:
Financial Report was discussed for year ending 1996. Stayed within the budget
overall. Noted on the financial report that Brain Injury Waiver figures are added; we
will have ongoing clients on that program now. Also, the wording will be changed
under the CIP1 B waiver program - "Nursing Home" is confusing as this does not have
anything to do with nursing home finances; it only means that the persons on CIP1 B
program were either discharged from Nursing Homes or by being on the program can
be diverted from being admitted to one. We will come up with some better
description for this.
Variance & Purchase Requests: NONE
Statewide LTC Advisory Committee report from Ray Mealey. Ray reported that at this
time the only definite that has happened in regards to long term care Redesign is that
the Bureau of Long Term Support and the Bureau on Aging have merged. The priority
at this time appears to be what to name the new bureau and who will have control.
1997 COP Plan Update: Ron Lockwood discussed the plan which indicates to the
BLTS what our expectations are for the 1997 year and how we will distribute monies
and services. Motion made by Lee Kellaher to accept the plan as written by Mr.
Lockwood and submit it with this committee's approval; second by Glenda Zielski;
carried.

THE COUNTY PERSPECTIVE ON LONG TERM CARE REDESIGN:
There was much discussion in regards to this topic. There are no definite answers to
what will happen to the LTS Programs, who will be administering what, or actually
where funds will becoming from or going to. Ongoing meetings will continue and Ron
Lockwood and Ray Mealey will keep the committee informed.
Some of the issues that this committee and our county LTS Unit have were discussed
at the Statewide LTC Committee when Ray Mealey attended. A copy of those is
included for your information.
Ron Lockwood & Ray Mealey continue to encourage anyone on this board or anyone
with input to contact their legislators and make there concerns known. The legislators
only know the issues if they are made aware.
Motion to adjourn by Wanda Viellieux; second by Fern Johnson; carried.

Michele Johnson, LTS Clerk III
