FACILITATORS FOR ADULT TEAMS: Campbell updated the committee that a
discussion took place with Kiesler outside of this committee to review and problem -solve
how facilitation would be handled for Adult CFS teams. Kiesler had informed Campbell
at this outside meeting that CSP would look to fund the cost of the facilitation, but CSP
would like to have a resource pool of facilitators to draw from. In the future, it was
hoped that CSP would develop its own facilitation resources. Huston then provided an
update with regards to the status of the 2 pilot adult teams at the request of Johnson.

8 KEY COMPONENTS: Campbell reviewed and discussed the outcomes of the data
collected on the 8Key Components Survey of Integrated Services. Also discussed were
the work plan goals and objectives for 2006. Johnson suggested that the QA sub-
committee review the 8 Key Components Survey and develop final data to submit to the
state including: development of goals and objectives. This sub - committee will report
back to the Coordinating Committee at the next meeting on February 10, 2006.
HANDBOOKS: Campbell reported that the Coordinating Committee handbooks were
not yet ready for distribution due to problems experienced with obtaining the correct
binders, and the changes made today to one of the documents that need correction prior to
submission into the handbook. The handbook will be presented at the next Coordinating

table to provide literature /information about CFS including a 5 minute
presentation regarding what we do.
3) St. Croix County Board Chair Clarence Malick did not believe that sub - committee
(advisory) was subject to open meeting laws. Johnson consulted with the St.
Croix County Corporation Counsel who believes that they are subject to open
meeting laws. Johnson requested that Campbell keep him posted regarding the
meetings. Johnson also requested that the Coordinating Committee keep an open
mind regarding expansion of the current advisory committee (Coordinating
Committee) to look at the issues of methamphetamine and Long Term Care as
these will be other issues that will affect SCCDHHS and our communities. The
Coordinating Committee received these ideas /suggestions well.
