Appropriations by $35,800.
• $1,732 increase in WIC revenue from the State grant and decrease County

Cuts per Finance: $167,614
Items adjusted since Finance meeting:

Cost to be covered by workshop earnings, County Appropriations reduced
by $15,000.
• St. Croix Industries budget incorrectly included $6,000 in
depreciation, amount to be billed to the State and removed from the
budget resulting in a County Appropriation reduction of $6,000.
These adjustments result in additional County Appropriation reduction of
$40,500. Grant total reduction of $208,114.
Nursing Home Capital Outlay Plan reduced per Finance as follows:
$18,000 Fire Doors

explained why the decision was made by Finance. Borup stated that Nelson was
a part of that process and was comfortable with the decision. Kretz asked if
these numbers were final. Borup stated these numbers are final for now but

LONG TERM SUPPORT Lockwood stated that the Long Term Support Unit is
becoming more efficient in the delivery of community long term care services
by consolidating scattered -site living situations into four to eight bed
residential care facilities. Unit staff is encouraged by the cooperation
being pledged by all four residential care providers in meetings held during
the past four weeks. Residential care providers say that developing more
congregate service options will make it easier for them to recruit and
maintain support staff as well as reducing daily operating costs per program
participant. Reducing turnover in support staff should improve service
quality and dependability. During August, Brotoloc Corporation created a four
bed Adult Family Care facility to replace two 2 person supported apartments,
reducing daily per person costs by 150. Aurora Residential Alternatives, Inc.
and Eeartview, Inc. have consolidation projects scheduled before year -end.
REM is developing plans for improved cost effectiveness.
The Northern Wisconsin Center downsizing is progressing. Two persons are now
living in community settings and the remaining five persons will be moving to
the community during November and December. Long Term Support staff and the
residential care providers are working closely with guardians to assure that
all health and safety needs are met during the community placement process.
Lockwood stated that with increased service demands, it is our goal to "break
even" financially at year's end.
Lockwood stated they are participating in a survey of dental health care for
persons on the waiver program. Clients are having trouble getting dental care
if they are on medical assistance. Lockwood stated they are exploring the
possibility of a resource center concept along with the Office on Aging.
Lockwood stated there is a grant application to support this concept. The
grant provides $55,000 for start -up costs and $100,000 ongoing costs per
year.
The Board recessed from 10:15 to 10:35 AM.
FAMILY & CHILDREN'S Johnson informed Board of a juvenile that was committed
to a juvenile correction facility at the cost of $175.00 per day. Johnson
stated this is an unusual circumstance where Family & Children's was not a
part of the process and were informed after the juvenile was committed.
Usually when a juvenile is committed to a juvenile correction facility,
Family & Children's is assigned the case and follow up on it. The cost then
comes out of the Family & Children's allocation. Wentz asked if this was
going to be a long -term commitment. Johnson stated that they would know more
after the 30 -day intake process was completed.
Johnson provided an update on foster home recruitment activities that have
taken place since the last report to the Board, which was in March of this
year. Unfortunately, these activities have not produced a significant change
in the number of St. Croix County licensed homes, and concern about available
resources continues. Johnson stated in March there were 23 licensed homes and
today there are 26 licensed homes. There are three families that were
previously with the County, then went to a private agency and will be
returning to the County. Johnson gave Bretl credit for how he handles and
works with foster parents. Johnson stated that 80 % -90% of recent inquiries in
regard to foster care for the County had not been responding to any type of
advertisement. It was just something they had been planning to do and had
made the phone call without seeing any type of advertisement. Johnson stated
they are currently working with the ministerial associations in regard to
St. Croix County Health and Human Services Board

recruitment for foster care families. Johnson stated they looking at programs
that would provide health insurance to foster care families.
Johnson invited Board members to a Foster Care banquet to be held at the
Hudson Golf Club on October 28 An article titled "Regarding the
Professionalizing of Foster Care" was provided to Board members prior to the
meeting.
NURSING HOME Krieger stated the census is 70. Krieger stated there had been
an average of 16 client referrals in the month of September. Two referrals
are pending for admission.
Krieger stated that the use of the new dining rooms began at lunch on
September 21 Krieger thanked Dorsey and his wife for coming to the first
meal in the dining room.
Krieger stated that activities received a grant for $1,200.00 from EMC
Corporation to pay for speakers in the new dining rooms to play music and
call bingo, etc. Krieger stated there have been items that were not in the
architect's plans for the new dining rooms but were not part of an official
collection to the plan. They are minor items such as telephones, clocks,
curtains, locks for doors, etc. that Krieger expended money for and paid the
bills already. The costs were taken out of administrative supplies. Board
members requested that Krieger bring a list of items to the November 12
meeting that was spent above and beyond what was levied.
Borup stated the Finance Committee removed $3,000 for dining room chairs and
$18,000 for fire doors from the Nursing Home Capital Plan for 2005.
Krieger stated that the State architect has approved the new dining rooms.
REQUEST TO INCREASE NURSING HOME PRIVATE PAY RATES EFFECTIVE DECEMBER 1,
2004 Krieger stated it is time for the annual review of rates. Krieger
requested approval of following nursing home private pay rates effective
December 1, 2004. A 30 -day notice needs to be given to families before rates
are increased. Swenson asked how the new rates were arrived at. Krieger
stated she looked at a survey with area facilities for their private pay
rates and looked at an article with the average high and low rates in the
area.
Current Private pay rates are:
ISN $155
SNF $150
ICF $145
Level of Care description:
ISN Intensive skilled care
SNF Skilled care
ICF Intermediate care
Motion A motion was introduced by Wentz, seconded by Burri, and unanimously
adopted: that the Board approves the following Nursing Home Private Pay rates
effective December 1, 2004.
The rates are as follows:
ISN $165
SNF $160
ICF $155

REQUEST TO ISSUE BIDS FOR NURSING HOME GENERATOR Borup stated Robole is
requesting authority to issue bid specifications for formal action. Borup
requested approval of document pending Corp. Counsel's review and approval.
Robole will be working to find a buyer for the old generator during the
bidding process.
Motion A motion was introduced by Swenson, seconded by Krueger, and
unanimously adopted: that the Board approves issuing bids for Nursing Home
generator subject to review and approval from Corp. Counsel.
PERSONNEL Borup stated the Economic Support clerical position has been
filled by Star Hanson. Interviews will be taking place for the Economic
Support Income Maintenance position being vacated by Shirley Johnson at the
end of the year.
DISCUSSION AND ACTION ON SETTING TIME TO SELL TWO DEPARTMENT FLEET CARS
Borup asked the Board for flexibility over the next couple of months to put
the old vehicles up for sale. Borup stated he would like to sell the vehicles
in a timely fashion. Borup asked for authority to put the two 1998 vehicles
up for sale this fall at his discretion. These vehicles will be sold to the
general public with closed bids. Borup will coordinate the sale of these
vehicles so new vehicles can be purchased per 2005 capital outlay plan. We
await County Board action on 10- 28 -04.
Motion A motion was introduced by Kretz, seconded by Swenson, and
unanimously adopted: that the Board approves giving Borup authority to sell
two Ford Taurus vehicles at his discretion.
REQUEST TO LEASE OFFICE SPACE TO U.W. MEDICAL SCHOOL Borup stated we have a
unique opportunity to lease office space on a part -time basis to U.W. Medical
Schools for $200 per month. Nelson stated this program would not be in
conflict with any vision or mission of the Public Health Department. This
would be an opportunity to get some funding into the department. The
individual currently in the office space is a 100% LTE position. She is
dropping down in the hours; she will be working in Public Health to the end
of the year and at the end of the year she will no longer be in that
position. She has taken a position with the University of Wisconsin Medical
College. She will work 60% in Public Health and 50% with the other
organization. Some of her work will be done outside of the office space
during evening hours. Nelson stated that phone service would not be included
in the $200 per month.
Motion A motion was introduced by Wentz, seconded by Rasmussen, and
unanimously adopted: that the Board approves leasing office space to U.W.
Medical School for $200 per month for a six -month period to start October 1,
2004.
RESOLUTION TO MAKE COUNTY PROPERTIES AND GROUNDS TOBACCO FREE Borup stated
the resolution that was discussed a month ago met with considerable questions
and concerns. Borup stated that administration was to bring forth a
reasonable resolution that would either involve a 50 -foot perimeter away from
main doorways or for County properties to create a designated smoking area
for facilities with the exclusion of County fairgrounds. Borup distributed a
resolution to reflect those issues. Nelson added the Public Health mission
statement to the resolution. Discussion ensued with the Board requesting a
copy of Eau Claire County's resolution. Borup will get a copy of Eau Claire
St. Croix County Health and Human Services Board
Page 11
October 08, 2004
County's resolution and bring to the November meeting. Borup asked if the
Board would like the resolution altered in language to empower each building
to set up their own designated smoking areas outside the 25 -50 foot area of
the front entrances. Borup stated this building was made smoke -free in the
late 80's and it has worked very effectively. Both employees and clients have
respected it. Swenson stated he would like to see more discussion on this in
November. Luckey requested a discreet survey to be done to find out what
policies were in other departments. Borup stated he would check on the law
enforcement vehicle policy. Borup stated he would put this on the November
agenda with some flexibility so a county -wide as well as a Health Center
resolution can still be pursued. Luckey asked that the issue be addressed as
to whom has the authority to select the designated areas.
Kretz remarked on the loss of $14,500 in revenue for tobacco control. Kretz
stated this is not the way to go and it is very unfortunate that this was not
a higher priority for the smokers in St. Croix County.
Dorsey asked if there were any other issues to bring before the Board.
Motion A motion was introduced by Wentz, seconded by Dorsey, and
unanimously adopted: that the meeting be adjourned.
