have the company go ahead with the repairs to the elevator. This elevator is used constantly, not
only by residents and staff, but also by visitors.
Krieger state the competition is so keen for CNAs that our CNAs are receiving notices from pool
companies offering more per hour than is the going rate in the area and also health insurance.
Krieger read a letter she received from Tom Dorsey commending the good work our staff is
doing.
Krieger stated the State of Wisconsin has changed the procedure for reporting abuse and neglect.
She gave an example of one that had recently been sent to the State. Each report takes a week to
put together and we are fined if the incident is not reported within five working days. The state
did drop this case.
St. Croix Valla Community Foundation: Kroese handed out some literature and stated the St.
Croix Valley Community Foundation is a non-profit foundation with the mission of advancing
the quality of life in the St. Croix Valley. He stated his main goal is to increase the long-term
charitable giving in this region by serving donors and nonprofit organizations in the Valley.
Kroese stated it is committed to serving the citizens of the St. Croix Valley by increasing the
charitable giving in the region, by helping charitable and civic organizations grow and improve
their service, and by serving donors committed to giving in the region. He stated his reason for
appearing this evening is that authorities in the county should know about this offer and what it is
all about. Stephens stated we have no real role in administering community funds. Stephens
recommended that Kroese refer to the Finance Committee, Tom Dorsey. Stephens thanked
Kroese for his presentation.
PERSONNEL ISSUES: Borup stated Jason Lemke has accepted the LTE position of
Environmental Health Specialist created by the dissolution of the Environmental Health
Consortium serving Pierce and St. Croix counties. Lemke started January 25 and will work
approximately 16 hours per week. He currently works part time with Eau Claire City-County
Health Department where he did an internship while a student.
Borup stated we are optimistic that Karen Hall will be able to return to work on a part time
basis around mid-February. Hall has completed her treatments and is awaiting clearance from
her physician.
Action on bids for lease/purchase of Bussette for St. Croix Industries: Eichstaedt stated four bids
were received for a new 16-passenger Bussette (plus two-wheelchair spaces and power lift) for
St. Croix Industries. Eichstaedt went over all the bids. Eichstaedt stated this does have to be
approved by the State of Wisconsin before delivery and no payment until delivery. Discussion
followed.
MOTION: A motion was introduced by Dowd, seconded by Berenschot, and unanimously
adopted: That the Health and Human Services Board accept Bid #2 from Dave Holt Ford,
