2004 BUDGET UPDATE: Borup expressed frustration over the 2004 budget
process. He said it would have gone much smoother if the Sage and Access
programs had run parallel and the way the process went, it created much more
work for staff. Borup sees the benefits from Sage and feels next year will go
much better.
Borup summarized cuts of $62,000, down from $200,000 originally directed by
the Finance Committee. Swenson said the budget was approved by Finance as
presented. There has been a reduction of the health insurance costs.
ARCHITECT'S REPORT ON NURSING HOME REMODELING: Cost estimates for the
remodeling were distributed. Copies of the remodeling plans were reviewed.
Four rooms on first floor will be combined to make one room for a dining room
and three rooms on second floor will be combined to make one room for a
dining room. The majority of the work is able to be done during the winter

months except for the replacement of the windows. It will take four to six
weeks for the architectural work, two to three weeks for the contractor's
bid, approximate one week to award the bid and from two to three months for
the construction. Cost of the project is estimated at $261,000 plus
draperies, etc. This item is on the County Board agenda for the end of
October. It is anticipated the contract will be awarded in mid-January and
construction will be done approximately mid-April.
Motion: A motion was introduced by Berenschot, seconded by Bethke and
approved with Swenson voting no, That the Board approves continuing with the
project when the full County Board approves the budget.
Dorsey instructed that the project should move forward at the fastest
possible pace.
The Board recessed from 9:35 to 9:40 AM.
NURSING HOME PRIVATE PAY RATES: Administration is requesting an increase in
private pay rates effective 12/01/03. Swenson questioned if the Nursing Home
breaks even at the proposed rates. Krieger said no, to breakeven the rate
would have to be over $200/day and then we would not be competitive to other
area homes. She conducted a survey of rates at other area homes and the
rates are very similar to our rates.
Motion: A motion was introduced by Wentz, seconded by Berenschot, and
unanimously adopted: That the Board accepts the three levels of private pay
rates for the Nursing Home effective 12/01/03 with the following increases:
ISN $155
SNF $150
ICF $145
2004 CHILD DAY CARE RATES:
Motion: A motion was introduced by Swenson, seconded by Wentz, and
unanimously adopted: That the Board approves the proposed child day care
rates as presented. (Outline of rates attached at end of minutes.)
NURSING HOME ADMISSION/DISCHARGE POLICY: Copies of the waiting list policy,
open admissions policy, and admission policy were distributed to Board
members for review. A request has been made for a legal opinion on the
policies. Krieger said there is a concern for discrimination when no beds are
available and we have a waiting list. Krieger said the list is an open
referral list and the waiting list is not numbered. She said it is necessary
to determine if the Nursing Home is clinically able to take care of the
possible admissions before admitting them. Krieger said the policies have
been given to Corp Council but that it may be some time before an opinion can
be given on them. She also consulted and received an opinion from the legal
hotline. She said there would be a cost if we went to an outside source to
receive an opinion. Swenson requested Krieger to investigate the cost of an
outside opinion and return the issue at the next meeting. It was felt the
current policies meet our needs and administration will return to the Board
if different recommendations are needed.
FAMILY AND CHILDREN'S: Johnson reported on a grant of $20,000 received to
process termination of parental rights for children in foster care. He said
St. Croix County Health and Human Services Board
Page 7
October 10, 2003
four cases have been completed with four children being freed up for
adoption. He said there are two more cases pending. The financial savings
to the County for freeing these children up for adoption is $2800/month in
placement costs. To receive these grant dollars, the County is required to
pay the money up front for costs and they provide documentation and submit
for reimbursement. Approximately $15,000 has been spent this year on this
program.
Dorsey asked if there were any other issues to bring before the Board.
Motion: A motion was introduced by Wentz, seconded by Berenschot, and
unanimously adopted: that the meeting be adjourned.
