February 17, 2010
froze in the basement of the old laundry building and on 01/25/10 it broke and
filled the basement of the building with approximately 90,000 gallons of water.
He said with the help of New Richmond City Utilities Water Department and the
Highway Department the water was removed from the basement within 48 hours. He
reported Kristen Ziliak, Risk Manager was on site during this incident and the
incident was reported to the Finance Committee. Be said 911 communications, IT
and communication back up for New Richmond were housed in the basement in
addition to Westfields Hospital antenna station. Westfields' equipment is
working again and a new contract is being developed with Westfields regarding
their antenna equipment. The equipment will be relocated to the upstairs of
the building and no equipment will be housed in the basement.
Wentz instructed Johnson to draft a letter of thanks to City Utilities (Rick
Powers) for the assistance the Utilities Department supplied to remedy the

some additional take backs over the next four to six week period. The State
reconciliation for Long Term Support accounts will take place between March and
June, 2010 with the final reconciliation being done in June, 2010. Ron Kiesler
asked about COP funding that was not recorded as revenue in the Behavioral
Health budget and Pempek indicated that money was part of the State take back.

AGED HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES RECEIVABLES REPORT: The aging Accounts
Receivable report for Health and Human Services through December was reviewed.
Pempek said there are some additional clean ups to be done for year end but
self- insured were moved to doubtful accounts at year end.
NURSING HOME ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT Robinson said the average monthly census
for December was 66, with 7 Medicare, 37 Medicaid, 21 private pay and 1
Family Care resident. Robinson reported we are getting paid an average daily
rate of $466.00 for Medicare so we are getting paid for the higher acuity of
our residents. Staff documentation has improved and we are getting better
credit for the work we are doing. The Medicare revenue is $21,812 /month
above budget.

Robinson is working with Tobin and Dave Simmons regarding room renovation.
It was the consensus to delay any renovation for a couple of months until the
results of the Phase II report is completed for the Nursing Home building.
Tobin and Robinson will devise an interim plan to touch up some of the rooms
and patch /paint some of the worst walls.
Last month Robinson distributed a new Nursing Home brochure to the Board
members. This brochure has been sent to all referring hospitals and
discharge planners with follow up phone calls made to these facilities by
Lisa Leahy. He said there are three open beds in the Nursing Home today.
Peterson questioned if Westcap had been contacted as to their role in the
Spring Valley facility project. Robinson indicated he is not sure where
future planning will be until the completion of Phase II. Peterson
instructed Robinson to contact Westcap to get general information regarding
assistance available for assisted care apartments.
COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN- PUBLIC HEALTH Wendy Kramer, along with
Karen Hansen from the Hudson Hospital and Clinic gave a presentation on the
Community Health Improvement Process. She reported the process was a
collaboration of St. Croix County, Public Health and the hospital. The
partnership between the hospital and public health arose out of a common need.
The goal of the process is to identify critical health issues and prioritize
health needs for the purpose of educating and mobilizing organizations to
address top health priorities, garnering resources and planning actions to
improve health and quality of life. The partnership used Healthiest Wisconsin
2010 as the framework for the process and the steering committee selected the
top five (out of 11) health priorities to address. County Health Rankings
results will be released today with booklets containing the rankings being
issued in the near future. St. Croix County ranked second in health outcomes
and eighth in health factors out of 73 counties.
The second part of Community Health Improvement Process is to advance the plan.
Hansen defined the Optimal Lifestyle Metric (OLM) which includes being
physically active, not smoking, eating 5 fruits and vegetables each day, and
drinking alcohol in moderation. She noted OLM adherence is low in the overall
population (5 -80) but higher (approximately 10 %) among the employed population.
Adults spend a substantial portion of their waking hours in the workplace.
Frequent and sustained messages can reach employees and dependents. Companies
benefit through healthy and more productive people. People benefit through
lower medical costs and more productive lives. A meeting is planned for March
3, 2010 from 9:00 AM to noon at the Hudson Hospital Conference Center. Board
members were invited to contact Hansen if they would like to attend.
H1N1 UPDATE Kramer reported there has been low influenza activity statewide
and in St. Croix County. No seasonal influenza has been detected at this time;
however, lab testing continues, which indicates H1N1 is the predominant
influenza virus. The EOC was closed January 25 and the Incident Command
System was deactivated at that time.
Public Health has additional H1N1 vaccination clinics scheduled for February 21
at the Government Center and February 25 at the Hudson United Methodist Church
in addition to every Monday afternoon in the Public Health office in New
Richmond. Kramer stressed the importance of getting vaccinated as it is not
known if a third pandemic wave will strike.

MEDICAL RECORDS STAFFING PLAN A move has begun towards consolidating medical
records in the facility to have a centralized Medical Records Unit. Johnson
reported Ardis Kelly has announced her retirement with today being her last
day. With this retirement, plans for Public Health record to be managed by
Medical Records and eventually moved to that department are being reviewed.
Plans are underway to restructure and reorganize Medical Records, but nothing
is finalized at this time. More information will be shared with the Board as
it becomes available.
The Board recessed from 9:40 - 9:50 AM.
RECONSIDERATION OF TOBACCO -FREE GROUNDS RESOLUTION TO ALLOW SMOKING IN PERSONAL
VEHICLES When the Tobacco -Free Grounds Resolution was introduced, Wentz
apologized that she was not aware of wording in the union contract that states,
"St. Croix County's facilities provide for a smoke -free environment. Employees
must leave the facilities if they choose to smoke." It is the union's stance
that the resolution changed the contract language without bargaining the change
and do not believe a county board resolution trumps the union contract. A
grievance has been filed on the Tobacco -Free Grounds Resolution. The Health
and Human Services Board initiated the resolution and Johnson stated that he
felt this should be addressed after reading of the action taken by the Finance
Committee. Timmerman recommended negotiating with the union to try to reach
agreement and then a possible future smoking resolution could be adjusted based
upon those negotiations. Hartman recommended a meet and confer to possibly
resolve the issue; however, implement non - enforcement with AFSCME employees
only until the issue is resolved. Timmerman said the contract cannot be
superseded by county resolution and no formal disciplinary action is occurring
at this time.
Concerns have been raised with county parks and jurors. Peterson recommended
sending the issue to the Negotiating Committee for the County Board and that we
follow the formal negotiation procedure. A tentative special meeting of the
Health and Human Services Board was set for March 12, 2010 at 8:30 AM regarding
the Tobacco -Free Grounds Resolution. Hartman, Funk and Whiting will try to
meet and confer before the March 12th meeting. Rasmussen expressed concern to
make a policy that is specific to those represented by the union as the
resolution was created to look at the welfare of all people in St. Croix
County.
FAMILY CARE AUDIT REQUEST Beckman reported there will be an audit on Family
Care and IRIS soon so there is direction on how to expand Family Care in the
next budget process. This decision was made recently and as details of the
audit process are identified, this will be shared with the committee. This is
one mechanism to evaluate Family Care from a financial and operational
perspective.
STATE AND LOCAL EVALUATION PROCESS FOR ADRC, COMMUNITY HEALTH PARTNERSHIP AND
SELF - DIRECT SERVICES (IRIS A provider forum was held in Madison on 01/22/10.
Many different advocacy groups were involved and feedback was provided on Care
Management Organizations (CMO's) and some issues that have developed. While
this is not necessarily a formal State review, it appears to be part of an
overall evaluation of long term care reform. One issue that came up at the
forum was that some functional re- screens done for clients have had a large
disparity when compared to the original functional screen. The impact of this
can be significant for the consumer as a reduction in services could occur.
St. Croix County Health and Human Services Board
Page 9
February 17, 2010
This is also a concern for providers, such as St. Croix Industries, as it is
anticipated that rates may be lowered or utilization of services may decrease.
In addition, guardians are not always aware a re- screen is being done, so they
do not have the opportunity to provide input. Some clients are being moved away
from the areas they have been residing, some out of county, and have lost their
community jobs in the process. Jennifer Borgh, an Ombudsman from Rice Lake,
recently gave a presentation at the ADRC. Clients and guardians can contact
her if there are problems with Family Care or IRIS, such as those discussed,
and she will investigate the issue. The ADRC is also working on a customer
service survey for clients. The State will also do a customer service survey
with St. Croix County being designated as one of the pilot counties. The
Managed Care Organization (MCO) do conduct random membership surveys for
customer satisfaction. In addition, CHP has started a member advisory group
meeting and will meet for the first time tomorrow. IRIS will soon start a
state - sponsored survey also.
Beckman said a new ADRC Senior and Disability Service Directory will be
available in March.
BADGERCARE PLUS BASIC PLAN Squyer reported the BadgerCare Core Plus Plan
applications were closed in October, 2009. The State has been working on an
alternate plan for people on the waiting list for the Core Plan. She reported
64,000 people applied for the Core plan and an additional 20,000 are on a
waiting list. A press release from the Governor regarding the BadgerCare Plus
Basic Plan was issued; however, this plan has not passed legislation. Squyer
outlined some of the basics of the plan such as the income limit to qualify is
below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. The premium is $130 /month plus co-
pays. If a premium payment is missed, the client is placed in restrictive re-
enrollment for 12 months.
Squyer reported Westfields Hospital opened a Health Station at Family Fresh on
January 18 The walk -in clinic is open seven days a week. All major insurance
is accepted and most services are available for around $55.00.
ECONOMIC SUPPORT STAFFING One staff person left Economic Support for a
position in Medical Records. A new staff person posted into the Economic
Support position and is scheduled to start in that position on February 22.
The new person will have to go through three months of training before they are
able to taken on cases. The state has lowered the income limits for Energy
Assistance so more clients can apply and lower amounts of assistance will be
given. Since October 1 1,358 applications for Energy Assistance have been
received and it is expected an additional 250 to 300 applications for crisis
energy assistance will be received in the near future. The state has taken 780
cases but St. Croix County still receives the phone calls for those cases and
Economic Support must continue to set up and pay for the drug testing for those
cases. Child Care eligibility was being done by Work Force Connections (WFC) ,
along with the initial application and reviews. Now Economic Support has been
instructed to do the reviews on 200 child care cases every 6 months and WFC
will only do the initial application. All of this was added to Economic
Support without any additional funding and has offset the additional staff time
