• Handout by Lockwood. Discussion.
• Handout CIP1 B CY 2001 Final. Discussion.
• Handout 2002 County Budget Summary, compares CY2001 to CY2002 with
revenues. Discussion.
Discussion regarding waiting list policies and urgent care needs: Lockwood explained
that the waiting list does exist. Sometimes people challenge this. There needs to be room for
crisis decisions.
Aging Report:
• Sandy Gehrmann reported that the Senior Care Prescription Drug program is
effective 9/1/02. This program is based on income, not assets. They are now taking
approximately 35 applications a day. There are problems, as the rules are not yet
standardized. The County has received no additional funding for this program to help
with administration costs.
• The Seniors Farmers Market vouchers are now available. The County received 60 $50
vouchers, down from $100 last year.
• Public Health has nicotine patches for ages 65 and older, free until December 2002.
Community Health Partnership: Handout by Lockwood, discussion. This program is serving
Dunn, Eau Claire, and Chippewa counties. It would help reduce waiting lists and get more
timely services to clients. Possible client cost share.
Gemini employee leasing: Guardianship program where the guardians are employed by
Gemini, not St. Croix County. No benefits available. This helps to clarify employers.
Possible future agenda items:
Waiting list issues — review current policies, possibly make changes.
