Ron Lockwood presented the Long Term Support Program/Financial Report for November, 1994. It was emphasized that although the R report shows no waiting list for the CIP-2/COP-W waiver programs as of November, a waiting list is now in place for the waiver because of increased demand and limited funding. Ron Lockwood also presented the state required 1995 Community Options Program Annual Review and Plan Update. The Update included a progress report regarding goals and objectives established in the 1994 Update and Plan; Goals and Objectives for 1995; County policy changes to comply with COP Guideline changes; and the Annual Care Management Capacity Report. After much discussion there was a motion by Lee Steinberger and second by Vern Dull to approve the 1995 Plan and Update as presented. A motion to amend the report was made by Myrtle Munns, second by Lee Kellaher to add two objectives for 1995 as follows: To propose and advocate for changes in legislation which would authorize county government to recover county costs involved in certain specified adult protection activities from the estate of the person subject to adult protection proceedings. To support the implementation of the Alzheimer's respite care project administered by the St. Croix County Department on Aging and funded primarily by the Brookdale Foundation.
