Dunlap visited tir Roberti site and was pleased with the site. She said Roberts i,plit from the Baldwin site due to a difference in philosophy and 1.he Roberts site is based on community, not church. Discussion frtlowed. Dunlap recommended the Board recommit money to this sit . Motion: A motion was introduced by Horne, secor�ed by Olson, and unanimously adopted: That the Board recommit $4,000 grant monies to the Roberts Lighthouse Community Youth Center from the Family Preservation Grant. FINANCIAL REPORT: Health and Human Services is on the Finance Committee's July 9th agenda to discuss County allocation "freeze" and fixed cost increases that we are mandated to absorb. There is concern that the state minimum for county match is at 9.89% and St. Croix County's match is much higher at about $2.2 million. Borup said St. Croix County is underfunded by at least $1.4 million in community and youth aids so St. Croix County has a higher overmatch. Borup said the funding formula is about 20 years old, it ignores population growth. He has contacted the Governor and legislators regarding trying to change it, but has had no success. He said it is just a matter of when Health and Human Services will run out of money with no increase in funding or a freeze each year and paying for mandated salary increases, roof repairs, etc. and still meet mandated services. Borup said the Long Term Care Redesign should eliminate the State aids inequities for Long Term Support programs, which is $795,244 of county money. As the population increases, so does the need for services. Health and Human Services serves only St. Croix County residents. Discussion followed. Krieger received a letter stating the ITP monies will be increased slightly by $8,300. Motion: A motion was introduced by Berenschot, seconded by Bethke, and unanimously adopted: That the Board approves the Nursing Home report. Judy Ziegler, Accountant/Accounting Supervisor, distributed the following reports: transfer of funds report, fixed assets purchased, and cash report. Ziegler said we have not received any 1997 financial information from the Hudson Finance Department. No statements were sent out in May due to computers being down. Borup said 8.8 acres was approved to go into the CRP program. The following financial report was distributed and discussed: PLEASE SEE NEXT PAGE. ST.

Full implementation of W-2 is scheduled fir Sept,:aber 11 1997 , but we have not yet received the implementati c .� contract from the State. Plans for subcontracting for job deveiopmenl are now taking place with Wisconsin Job Service and the Private industry Council (PIC). We are mandated by the State to subcontract at least a portion for job development with Job Service. Job Service is a state funded program and PIC is a federally funded program. Fruit said PIC has worked with W-2 to get W-2 where it is now. Discussion followed. Horne asked why go through so much work for 35 people, they should just remain on welfare. Fruit said clients are sanctioned if they fail to participate in W-2. She said the caseload is lower than she anticipated. Willkom said clients have a maximum of five years for their lifetime on this program. There is an increased emphasis on child support. There is also consistency in the department regarding the work concept. The next W-2 steering committee meeting will be 06/23 at 3:00 p.mo at the Job Service Center. Motion: A motion was introduced by Olson, seconded by Berenschot, and unanimously adopted: That the Board recommends the department subcontract with Wisconsin Job Service with the specifics of the contract costs to be forthcoming at the July 24th meeting.
