UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
CY 1999 Audit Resolution — RFDF, Inc.: This agency provides service
to one CIP1 B client in Madison. A previous audit indicated that RFDF had
not spent all of the dollars that had been paid to them for start up services
on this client in 1999. It was determined that the refund will be recouped
over a six month period. Note that 60% of this money was federal share,
so that will be going back to the federal program.
LTS Planning Committee Meeting
Minutes
January 11, 2001
NEW BUSINESS:
Financial Report: Discussion regarding significant proportions. Ron Lockwood noted
a couple of things:
• This count is for COPW and COP Programs only
• When a client is AODA or DD target group and are over the age of 65 they
are counted as elderly.
It was acknowledge by the committee that this does not give a true picture of
populations being served.
Variance & Purchase Requests: A request to this committee is made by Deloris
Mosay, LTS Social Worker for approval to assist her client in pursuing COP High Cost
Funds to make repairs on his vehicle. JV is a 30 year old paraplegic; his 1994 van is
adapted for him to transport himself. It is in need of reconstruction of the floor and
frame, which bears the weight of his wheel chair lift and would cost between $3200 -
3400. These funds are not included in or deducted from any other waiver or COP
programs. Motion to approve assistance to the client was made by R.Mealey, second
by M.Wolke; carried
New Priority Target Group: Ron Lockwood requests the committee's approval to
create a new priority target group for CIP1 B which would give preference to persons
currently on CIP2/COPW who are also eligible for CIP1 B and in need of services that
can only be purchased under CIP1 B. Motion to approve by M.Wolske, second by
R.Palewicz; carried.
LTS Work group report: W.Viellieux has been representing the LTS Planning
Committee as a member of this workgroup. They meet every other week facilitated by
Karen Hall, former LTS Coordinator. A summary was handed out with the group's
objectives. At this point they have identified their purpose as determining how more
clients can be removed from the CIP1 B waiting list and their goal is to identify cost
efficiencies to serve three additional persons from the CIP1 B waiting list by the end of
year 2001. The group is at present in the Brainstorming stage and Wanda will keep this
committee updated.
Aging Department Report:
• Sandra Gehrmann reported that the Older Americans Act was reauthorized through
year 2003.
• New Faith in Actin Coordinator is Faye Kangas
• Department on Aging received an anonymous donation of $7,000 to the Faith in
Action and DayAway Programs.
LTS Planning Committee Meeting
Minutes
January 11, 2001
• The Local AARP Program is possibly being disbanded. Discussion. Apparently
there was some confusion about the region or area that this local covers. Sandra
asked if anyone knows of any persons to volunteer to contact her.
Next Meeting Agenda Items:
1. Review of services provided by Waiver /COP Programs
2. Reschedule Ron Eichstaedt, St. Croix Industries Programs Report
3. Survival Coalition Report
Motion to adjourn at 3:OOpm by W.Viellieux, second by M.Sumner; carried.
