pre - payment for services and payment will be made as services are provided.
The contract has been signed by Johnson and Dorsey and is ready to go.
ECONOMIC SUPPORT AGREEMENT REGARDING MA TRANSPORTATION An agreement for
medical assistance transportation has been received requesting the county
sign, which would give county authority to the state to administer M.A.
transportation. As discussed at previous board meetings, the state plan is
to contract with five regional sites to administer M.A. transportation.
Johnson's intention is to not sign the agreement at this time, but rather
wait until more clarity is received on the details of how our clients will be
served Wisconsin County Human Services Association (WCHSA) has identified
several questions regarding the state plan which is schedule to begin in July
of 2006. Johnson will report back when more details are available.

retirement effective 02/28/06. Administration reviews agency needs whenever
