CONSIDERATION OF CLAIMS All check registers for June for funds 205, 225, 230, 600 and
625 were reviewed by Health and Human Services (HHS) Board member Berenschot. All
questions were answered satisfactorily.
Motion A motion was introduced by Berenschot, seconded by Rasmussen, and unanimously
adopted: To approve the June vouchers.
Johnson said there is a need for consistent financial and budget reports between the committees. He
distributed a sample of a budget report which included expenditures for the month, year to date and
what has been budgeted. The report includes the five funds under Health and Human Services. The
transition to the new reports will probably occur in August. Board members will not continue to
review detail vouchers monthly; however, the voucher reports will be made available if requested.
Johnson indicated any member can review vouchers at any time but there will be no formal monthly
approval of vouchers.
FINANCIAL REPORTS The following financial report for Health and Human Services through
June, 2011 was distributed. Johnson indicated the County appropriations for the year have been
applied to the Health and Human Services (HHS) financial report. He indicated financial staff are
being cross trained so staff can file monthly reports to the State. He indicated in previous years the
State would forward revenue in advance; now the State forwards up to 25% of the revenue until
July and then actual revenue is sent.

The following financial report for the Nursing Home through June, 2011 was distributed. Johnson
noted there was a contractual adjustment in the outpatient therapy line for the Nursing Home as the
actual figure needed to be revised. The Nursing Home census has been lower and staffing levels
have been adjusted to the lower census, which results in lower operating expenses.

AGED HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES RECEIVABLES REPORT: The aging Accounts
Receivable report for Health and Human Services through May was briefly reviewed. Accounts
Receivable staff are working on providing detail to create projections for 2012 budget revenue for
collections. Johnson indicated the report reflects HHS collections only. It was the consensus of the
Board to review this report quarterly versus monthly.
NURSING HOME ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT Robinson said the average monthly census
for June was 56, with 6 Medicare, 36 Medicaid, and 13 private pay residents. The Medicare
average daily rate paid was $548.25 for June compared to the budgeted amount of $485.00.
Acuity rates continue to be higher than budgeted.
Robinson indicated the Nursing Home has experienced a lower census, which seems to be
consistent with other facilities in the area, although St. Croix Health Center census occupancy
has been higher than competitors in the area.

The annual Health Department Survey resulted with one deficiency for hand washing. The plan
of correction was submitted, a desk audit was performed by the State, and the plan of correction
was approved.
HEALTH CENTER ENVIRONMENTAL SURVEY The Life Safety Code Survey took place
on June 27 2011. An Engineer from the State spent the entire day reviewing policy and
procedure and touring the building. The average number of deficiencies issued to facilities in
Wisconsin by the Engineer is 12. The St. Croix Health Center received three deficiencies, which
included:
• Fire drills are to be held at unexpected times under varying conditions at least quarterly
on each shift; the Nursing Home had the required number of fire drills but the times of
the drills did not vary enough. The schedule will be changed to correct this issue.
• The main fire alarm control panel located in the boiler room had a heat detector but not a
smoke detector. This was a change in code since the building was built. This will be
corrected by this afternoon.
• The basement plenum issue was reissued and will have to reapply to the State for a
waiver, as needs to be done every year.
Robinson reported the Resident/Family Picnic for the Nursing Home will be August 18 with
music beginning at 4:30 and supper starting at 5:00 PM. There will also be a basket social with
silent auction beginning on August 1 This year the picnic will have a Hawaiian theme. Board
members were invited to attend.
Marzolf thanked Robinson for the leadership he has provided and for the financial reports that
have been consistently in the black.
Tobin reported the loading dock project will be done within a week. He also reported the hot
water issue is also being resolved and that he is pursuing grant monies from Focus on Energy to
repair the exterior doors in the Nursing Home.
2011 DEPARTMENTAL OPERATIONAL GOALS—HEALTH CENTER A Department
will be highlighted each month to help guide the Board with policy decisions. Robinson
highlighted areas of the 2011 -2015 St. Croix Health Center (SCHC) strategic plan. Robinson
repeated the SCHC mission statement: "Our residents don't live in a facility... We work in their
Home." He reported staff give residents respect and they are treated as if this is their home. He
reported the Nursing Home is now a 5 -Star facility, which is the highest rating nursing homes
can receive. SCHC is one of the top 50 nursing homes in Wisconsin for the past two years.
Robinson reported a family survey is sent upon resident discharge. The goal is to receive 95%
customer satisfaction and the surveys returned indicate closer to 100% customer satisfaction in
the last year. Another goal on the plan is no survey deficiencies at Level "G" or higher and that
has not happened in the last five years.

Robinson indicated the financial accountability goal is to have zero county levy required to fund
operations by 2015. He anticipates with the union concessions recently made it is possible the
Nursing Home will be off the County levy by the 2012 budget cycle.
Robinson said staff do things right everyday, not just when the state survey team is here. He
said there will be a monthly audit regarding hand washing for the next year to correct the
deficiency received.
Robinson indicated there may be a burden on the County if retroactive Medicaid pay is
eliminated. Placements may not be funded possibly as long as 90 days and the County could
have to pay for these placements. It is not certain from the information received from the
Department of Health Services where the $500 million in Medicaid cuts will be made, but the
elimination of retroactive payment could be an option. A committee consisting of Frank
Robinson, Ron Kiesler, Brad Beckman, Connie Sarauer, and Lisa Leahy has been formed to
discuss behavioral health client placements. The committee hopes to provide a recommendation
by October. The top priority is to keep all other residents safe from behavioral health clients and
to keep all residents safe. Johnson highlighted that currently all protectively placed clients are
not coming to the county; however, with caps in Family Care and no retroactive MA, that could
change and impact the county.
Robinson said a new MDS procedure has been in place since October, 2010. The Nursing Home
now receives a new rate every quarter based on acuity levels. Work has been done with
consultant Theresa Lange to document correctly for enhanced reimbursement. Robinson
indicated the Nursing Home is getting better reimbursement for work that is being done through
rehab nursing. Work is being done to develop a training module as ECS does not have a training
feature. The SCHC is second in the nation for utilizing ECS.
Wentz congratulated Robinson on doing a great job and expressed appreciation for the work he
has done.
The Board recessed from 9:35 — 9:45 AM.
ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 40—LODGING AND FOOD PROTECTION
Kramer reported the State has updated their administration code and presented an Ordinance
Amending Chapter 40 — Lodging and Food Protection.
Motion A motion was introduced by Rasmussen, seconded by Berenschot, and unanimously
adopted: That the Board approves the following ordinance:

ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 40 – LODGING, RECREATION FACILITIES
AND FOOD PROTECTION
Ordinance No.
St. Croix County, Wisconsin
WHEREAS, County Code Chapter 40 was created in March, 2002, with the enactment of
Ordinance No. 612(2002) to authorize the Public Health Division of the St. Croix County
Department of Health and Human Services to obtain agent status from the State of Wisconsin
Department of Health Services to pre- inspect, inspect and investigate vending operations, hotels,
restaurants, tourist rooming houses and other recreational establishments; and
WHEREAS, the State of Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) changed the
Administrative Code chapter name from "HFS" to "DHS" to correctly reflect the current
department name; and
WHEREAS, to be accurate and current Chapter 40 has been updated to reflect the
change.
THEREFORE, the St. Croix County Board of Supervisors does ordain as follows:
Section 40.02 Regulations and enforcement of Chapter 40 – LODGING, RECREATION
FACILITIES AND FOOD PROTECTION is amended as attached changing "HFS" to
"DHS."
2012 BUDGET TIMELINE AND GUIDELINES Johnson distributed a schedule of the 2012
budget timeline, which will begin with a department head meeting on July 28 Johnson briefly
reviewed the schedule.
ANNUAL OPEN HEARING ON THE BUDGET Johnson reported Health and Human
Services is required by Department of Health Services and Department of Family and Children's
to conduct an annual open hearing to solicit input on the budget. Johnson reported documents
regarding the open hearing were sent to the State on July 8 Board members commented that
attendance at the open hearing was down this year. A possible reason is that wait lists are less
this year with the implementation of Family Care. Other areas that presented at the open hearing
were the Castle, which is a drop -in center for behavioral health clients, Positive Alternatives and
the Family Resource Center. Both requested county monies to help with services. Johnson
indicated there is a purchase of service contract when services are needed, but limited funding
has been set aside for prevention for families that are not service connected. Johnson will review
this item with Thompson.
FAMILY CARE CAPS —STATE WAITLIST POLICY Johnson reported Family Care caps
will go into effect 07/01/2011. Attempts were made to obtain additional slots before the
07/01/2011 deadline. More slots are gained through attrition and then the slots are filled from
the wait list. Aging & Disability Resource Center manages the wait list and clients can be served
St. Croix County Health and Human Services Board
Page 9
July 20, 2011
in the slots due to crisis and chronic needs. A wait list policy is being developed and operational
practices will be received from the state.
St. Croix County is still reviewing the waitlist policy for budgetary projections. This process
could impact the 2012 budget and will be considered as the 2012 budget is being developed. The
Federal Government will have to approve the plan from the state regarding the caps in place.
Johnson indicated from questions last month there is no way to separate client counts to have
distinct counts in programs as there is some duplication in services in Economic Support
between Food Share and MA.
POSSIBLE AGENDA ITEMS FOR NEXT MEETING
No items were brought up for discussion at the next meeting.
Wentz asked if there were any other issues to bring before the Board.
Wentz adjourned the meeting.
