Pempek distributed the following Nursing Home report for January through
August. The census in the Nursing Home today is 61. The 2006 budget was
prepared at a census of 66 and the average census for this month and last is
63. Staffing changes are made with changes in census. Pempek reported rate
appeal monies were received in the amount of $12,515 and additional IGT
monies were received in the amount of $188,070. Question arose as to how
much is being spent for Pathways. Currently Pathways is providing a Director
of Nursing and Nurse Manager. As of 10/19/06 $86,121.23 has been paid to
Pathways and it is anticipated they will receive approximately $50,000 per
month through the end of the year. The census trend has been downward due to
the questions on the future of the nursing home and community concern.

A brief update was given on Accounts Receivable status. Updates that were not
previously installed have been added and reporting is being used. We are
currently working with ECHO representatives as well as our IT department to
attain a reconciliation report. This report would meet the needs of the agency
and satisfy the auditor's requirement.
SURGEON GENERAL'S REPORT ACTION The Board was given options to respond to the
Surgeon General's report on secondhand smoke. The vision statement for St.
Croix County reads: "We will provide for health, safety, and well being and
• ' St. Croix County Health and Human Services Board
Page 7
October 19 2006
encourage opportunities to live, work and prosper while preserving individual
community heritages and natural resources. County government will deliver
needed services in a productive and fiscally responsible manner." The Board has
the power to make tobacco control changes in the County. In 1992 a resolution
was passed to make County government buildings and passenger vehicles smoke
free. Troyer questioned the exceptions in the resolution allowing smoking in
any county -owned vehicles. Several chapters of the statutes outlining the
duties of local health officials, local health departments and environmental
health were cited. River Falls is the only municipality in St. Croix County
with a smoking ordinance. Most public buildings in the county are smoke free
but there is no law in Wisconsin mandating buildings be smoke free. Many
employers are restricting smoking due to health care insurance. Karl reported
Andersen Windows went smoke free 10/01/06. LaCrosse County has a dining
ordinance regarding dining establishments being smoke free and is looking at
making all buildings (workplaces) smoke free. There are no other movements in
other areas of the state at this time. Kretz invited questions /concerns/
statements be submitted to him regarding protecting the public against
secondhand smoke. Malick indicated a proposal should be put in writing and
submitted to Corp. Counsel.
The Board recessed from 9:50 to 10:00 AM.
PREPAREDNESS PANDEMIC TABLE TOP REPORT A handout regarding the tabletop
exercise held on 08/29/06 was distributed. The exercise was a successful,
excellent experience and met goals and objectives set forth. Several school
nurses attended the exercise as they track absenteeism. Working from home was
explored as a result of the exercise. The Public Health Officer has the
authority to quarantine and regulate public health situations but that is not
always followed by health care providers. Public Health is proposing one hour
of pandemic training for all County employees on preparedness. This training
will start with the Highway Department next week as part of their safety
program.
Public Health will be conducting a public health preparedness functional
exercise on 10/26/06 until 1:00 PM. There are several stages of the
exercise. Board members were invited to attend between 9:15 to 11:15.
There is a change in flu vaccines this year. The vaccine shipments have not
been coming in. A notice will be placed on the County website and intranet
when shipments arrive. Also, there will be a $25 charge for staff that do
not have county insurance and County Board members who receive their vaccine
through Public Health. Sortedahl recommended checking with your local clinic
to receive the vaccine.
PERSONNEL ISSUES The Board applauded Lindemann's and Karl's dedication and
efforts regarding Wisconsin tobacco checks. Wisconsin is below the national
average for both high school and middle school smokers and this can be
attributed to not allowing underage persons access to tobacco.
Deb Lindemann has resigned from Public Health after accepting a position in Eau
Claire as Public Health Supervisor. Jennifer Hansen has moved to the full -time
position vacated by Lindemann. A contract nurse has moved to the half -time
position vacated by Hansen.
BARN LEASE UPDATE Johnson sent a letter to Van Dyk earlier in October stating
the cost estimates the County received for repair of the property, which is
his responsibility, would equal or possibly exceed the cost of the items he
submitted as total replacement equipment, which he could be entitled to
remove. After reviewing with Corp. Counsel the resolution of issues relating
St. Croix County Health and Human Services Board
Page 8
October 19 2006
to the barn lease is that all equipment remains the County's property in
exchange for the County assuming the responsibility for the cost of repairs.
This would fulfill all obligations.
Johnson has contacted John Schottler regarding emptying the pit. Schottler
estimated it would cost approximately $4,600 to complete this. Straw is also
needed on the floor of the barn to preserve the floor. No monies were
budgeted for these items. Malick suggested requesting funds from the
contingency fund.
Motion A motion was introduced by Troyer, seconded by Rasmussen, and
unanimously adopted: That the Board approves requesting $6,000 from the
contingency fund to pump the manure pit empty and to put straw on the floor
of the barn.
FARM LAND LEASE Final revisions are being made on the, farm land lease. Don
Anderson was awarded the lease for the farm land. The lease has a two year
term. It is anticipated the lease will be finalized by the end of October. The
hunting agreement for the County farm land by New Richmond is moving forward.
LONG TERM SUPPORT -LONG TERM CARE REFORM Johnson strongly recommended Board
members read the handout entitled: "Long Term Care Redesign Overview and Policy
Decisions." At this time the recommended decision is to not be a part of the
financial risk - bearing care management organization. Information regarding a
Long Term Care Reform Meeting for County - Elected Officials to be held on
November 9, 2006 at Kalahari Resort Convention Center was distributed to Board
members. Johnson strongly encouraged Board members to attend this meeting.
Deadline for registration is November 2, 2006.
NURSING HOME REPORT - REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL The Nursing Home has 107 full and
part time employees, 81 of which live in St. Croix County. Board members
questioned the average length of service for employees in the Nursing Home.
An announcement that Dan Goodier, Executive Director of Christian Community
Home of Hudson, will speak and answer questions at the Hudson United
Methodist Church on Sunday, October 22 at 9:00 a.m. and again at 10:30 a.m.
about Christian Community Homes' interest in purchasing the St. Croix County
Nursing Home facility has circulated in the Nursing Home. Concern was
expressed if more than five Board members attended the gathering, an agenda
would need to be issued so as not to violate open meeting laws.
Lester gave a powerpoint presentation regarding operational changes (downsize,
sale, lease or other options) for the Nursing Home. He said between the
.property tax limitation and Medicaid funding deficit, the gap from Medicaid
reimbursement and actual costs continue to grow. One short -term option would
be to downsize the Nursing Home to 50 beds as the Nursing Home's Medicaid rate
would increase. He said Rusk County is currently doing this. There are
currently 47 empty beds in the county. Downsizing would happen by simply
stopping admissions. Lester reviewed the differences in rates for Medicaid and
Medicare if the facility downsized to 50 beds.
Lester said a number of things go into evaluating a purchase price of a nursing
home. He reported the state puts no value on the beds, only the structure.
Lester indicated St. Croix County has a good location; however, is not
affiliated with a hospital or assisted living. Lester indicated an offer of
$3.5 million for St. Croix County Nursing Home is very unlikely but not
completely out of the question depending on the parties interested in the
property. The 3.5 million dollar estimate of value is based solely on Medicaid
allowable reimbursement.
St. Croix County Health and Human Services Board
Page 9
October 19 2006
Lester said a lease could be a good short term option. The county would own the
building and sell the nursing home license to another party. How the lease is
allocated and how much is determined as a lease payment is important. However,
it is extremely important if this option is pursued that an additional plan be
in place when the lease ends or the county may be required to operate the
nursing home after the lease period.
Lester indicated closing the facility is not really an option due to lack of
available beds in the County. It would have an impact on the county in terms of
lost jobs, political concerns, increased workload on other county staff and
programs, etc. If the county did decide the close the nursing home, all
residents must be relocated in 120 days and if the residents are not relocated,
the state will take over the building. There would be additional costs in
closing the facility including unemployment, pension, health insurance (COBRA),
payout of paid time off for employees, maintenance /demolition of current
facility.
Dr. Kretz left the meeting at 11:30 AM.
In an effort to determine what other people have done and decide what would
work for St. Croix County, Awsumb investigated a facility that was recently
built in St. Peter, Minnesota. He distributed information regarding that
facility, which included forecasted financial statements for the next five
years. He also distributed a report that ranked St. Croix County nursing homes
and their performance.
Wentz indicated the time constraints and that there was not enough time to
discuss all the options before the 10/31/06 County Board meeting. Options need
to be evaluated and a recommendation may not be ready before early 2007. It
was the Board consensus a RFP should be prepared. The RFP is not a commitment
but would give members more information before a final decision is made.
whiting is concerned the parent committee did not approve the budget for the
Nursing Home before sending it to Finance and the County Board. It was the
consensus of the Board that the Finance Committee approved the Nursing Home
budget. Lester will present the powerpoint on the Nursing Home at the 10/31/06
County Board meeting. Slides will be added regarding possibly partnering in the
RFP, not just the sale or lease of the Nursing Home. Discussion held on
modifying the motion for a RFP to change the time frame, appointment of a small
committee to study options, and to include partnering. Wipfli services will be
requested to help with details needed to develop the RFP. The RFP's could come
back in one of two ways, via proposal or via an interview process.
Motion A motion was introduced by Troyer, seconded by Burri, and unanimously
adopted: That the Board approves retaining the services of Wipfli to create
the RFP.
