Fruit said BadgerCare is currently at 252 cases. She said the expenditures for child care through September 30, 2000 are at $380, 550, which is more than the whole year of 1999. VENISON PROJECT: St. Croix County Land and Water Conservation and University of Wisconsin Extension Departments are co-coordinating the venison project. Four freezers have been donated by St. Croix Electric and have been placed at the Extension office, Westcap, Woodville and Economic Support in New Richmond. Venison is donated and we are able to distribute it to our customers. Processing costs are paid by individual donations, United Way and other service agencies. This year the County Departments coordinating the program may be eligible to receive a Wisconsin Wildlife Damage grant of $10, 000 to help cover processing costs. In 1999 3000 lbs. of venison was donated and was distributed in 5-15 lbs. increments depending on family size. The University of Wisconsin also makes available a brochure on the safe handling of venison and has a collection of venison recipes. PUBLIC HEALTH: Nelson reported that the CDC has reported there will not be a shortage of flu vaccine this year as originally predicted, however, the supply of vaccine will reach providers later than usual. The Wisconsin Influenza Vaccination Contingency Plan will be implemented. This gives highest priority to vaccinating high-risk persons who are most likely to experience complications from influenza and persons who could transmit influenza to high-risk persons through direct patient contact. This plan also provides for redistribution of vaccine through local health departments as needed between providers with vaccine surpluses and providers with vaccine shortages. Nelson said clinics will probably begin in December and continue into January. Nelson said a program has been available to WIC clients where people have donated surplus produce from their gardens and made it available to clients. Nelson estimated between 600 and 800 lbs. of produce has been donated and distributed. Nelson reported that Hepatitis B vaccination clinics are being done in schools for sixth and twelfth graders. Booster tetanus vaccinations are also available at these clinics. She said this was written into the immunization grant and approved by the Board. Nelson reported that she has received notice of a possible shortage of the tetanus vaccine. Nelson reported that consolidated contracts for 2001 must st be submitted by 11/03/00. The programs included under consolidate contracts are Immunization, Maternal Child Health, Prevention, Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention, WI Well Woman, and Tobacco Control. She said consolidated contracts allows more flexibility with monies and programs within Public Health. She said the program objectives must„be tied to the State's Essential Services from Turning Point, Year 2010 Objectives and local plans. Nelson said plans are being made to meet with community partners for the purpose of local assessment related to preparedness for acute public health emergencies and biological and chemical agent threats. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Department of Justice has developed the Public Health Performance Assessment for Emergency Preparedness to assist in determining local public health systems ability to respond rapidly and effectively to emergencies. She said there are three areas to this tool: 1) 7 The Credentials Committee of the Medical Staff recommends to the St. Croix County Department of Health and Human Services Board the reappointments to the Medical Staff of the following members: John M. Swangim, M.D. Yev Mandelbroyt, M.D. 2. DELINEATION OF PRIVILEGES: The Credentials Committee of the Medical Staff recommends to the St. Croix County Department of Health and Human Services Board the approval of the Delineation of Privileges as applied for by John M. Swangim, M.D. and Yev Mandelbroyt, M.D. to include Group I privileges: 1. Care of non-critical medical and geriatric patients, and patients who are admitted for diagnostic purposes. 2. Care of terminally ill patients. 3• Care of first and second degree burns. 4. Minor surgery, including simply lacerations, incision and drainage Of superficial abscesses, removal of lightly imbedded corneal foreign bodies, and emergency tracheostomy. And recommends Group II Specialty Privileges as applied for in Podiatry REVIEW OF VOLUNTEER DRIVERS' MILEAGE REIMBURSEMENT: Borup reported that the IRS sets the maximum payment, which is now 32.50/mile and is what the County pays. If we reimburse more than that, then things get complicated as 1099 forms need to be completed, etc. Volunteer drivers are beginning to complain about the increased price of gasoline. This would impact all departments. u If volunteer drivers are not available, we would have to hire New Richmond Transport at $1.30/mile. It was the consensus of the Board that staff put together a program and bring back to the Board for the 10/26/00 meeting. PERSONNEL ISSUES: Marilyn Fruit, Economic Support/W-2 Supervisor, has submitted her resignation effective 01/05/01. Diane French has been hired as Employment Specialist for the Community Support Program. This position has been open since April of 2000. NON-REPRESENTED (ON-CALL) COMPENSATION: There are seven employees, both union and non-represented, who are on-call for emergency services. The union contract now compensates $1.75 per hour for on-call services for union staff. The non-represented employees receive $1.45 per hour for the same on-call services. Motion: A motion was introduced by Stephens, seconded by Bethke, and unanimously adopted: That the Board approves to increase the non-represented on-call compensation to $1.75 per hour to be equal to union on-call compensation effective 11/01/00. Stephens asked if there were any other issues to bring before the Board. Motion: A motion was introduced by Berenschot, seconded by Stephens, and unanimously adopted: That the meeting be adjourned.
