UNFINISHED BUSINESS Further action on State Biennial Budget - R.
Lockwood reported that Governor McCallum has called for a Special
Session of the Legislature to consider significant reductions in the State
Biennial Budget for the Fiscal Years beginning July, 2001. The Governor is
reacting to a downturn in the economy, which is anticipated to generate a
$1.3 Billion shortfall in revenue that had been projected in the original State

LTS Committee Minutes
January 10, 2002
Biennial Budget. Republicans in the Legislature have already suggested
that a 10% across - the -board cut in proposed expenditures is necessary to deal with the
shortfall in tax revenue. The Governor is waiting for more current revenue projections
before finalizing his plan for cost cutting.
Ron Lockwood indicated that Long Term Support programs would definitely be a target
for cost cutting as efforts to reduce waiting lists would be sacrificed to generate cost
savings during the next two years.
Financial Report: Report of LTS program expenses for January through October 2001
was presented. It was noted that the report is done on a cash basis and does not reflect
all liabilities incurred. Most contracted service costs for October will not be shown until
the November or December report periods.
Variance and Purchase Requests: None
Nursing Home Relocation Requests: None
Contracting for CY2002 Services: Ron presented a list of service vendors providing long
term care services for St. Croix County residents during CY2002. St. Croix County LTS
Unit will contract with thirty vendors for $6.6 million using the DHFS recommended model
contract format. Contracts are required when the volume of annual purchase exceeds
$10,000. There is an audit requirement when the contract exceeds $25,000 in value.
When annual vendor purchases are less than $10,000 a one page Letter -of- Agreement is
sufficient. Letter -of- Agreements have been signed with forty vendors with a total
purchase amount of $158,000. Work - for -Hire Agreements are used to purchase
services from twenty -one individuals where the cost is less than $600 per year, with total
annual purchases estimated at $12,500.
Motion to Adjourn: Motion to adjourn at 2:30 p.m. by Richard Peterson, second by John
