Review of March 2010 Financials – Jeff Koenig distributed corrected financial statements from
February 2010 and March 2010. He reviewed the March 2010 Financials and the Alternate Care
report with the Board members.
Personnel Update – Jackie reported on the vacancies for the department.
Director’s Report – Roy Sargeant
• April 28, 2010 memo from Tom McCarty and Scott Rasmussen – Roy shared a memo
from Tom McCarty and Scott Rasmussen with the Human Services Board members.
• Treatment Courts Governance Subcommittee – Roy discussed the draft wording for
their mission statement. He will send out the membership list of the Criminal Justice
Collaborating Council (CJCC) to the Board members. Roy will follow up with Tom
Wirth on the status of the Veteran’s Court.
• Resolution 09-10/032 to Transfer 85.21 Grant to the Aging & Disability Resource
Center (ADRC) – Roy provided the Board members a copy of Resolution 09-10/032
considered last year by the Human Services Board, ADRC and DHS staff and the
ADRC Board and then placed on file by the County Board on August 18, 2009. Roy
reported that there has been some more discussion in 2010 by the ADRC to re-look at
transferring the 85.21 transportation grant to the ADRC. Dorothy said that the reason
this was being addressed again was that according to the monthly Transportation Report
by Tom Wirth, the 85.21 transportation grant may be outsourced to the Center for
Independent Living of Western Wisconsin (CILWW). Gloria said that CILWW could
provide a more regional approach to services. If there are complaints that the
Transportation Coordination Advisory Committee is receiving, they should be shared at
the Human Services Board level so members know what the specific concerns are.
• Monthly Transportation Report by Tom Wirth – Discussion about the word “contract”
in report. Prepare a contract between CILWW and the Department – Jeff said that it
may be more like an Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) than a contract. The
question was raised that Human Services Department and ADRC staff are serving the
same population and duplication of services is happening.
• Community Transition Center (formerly called Day Report Center) – Roy reviewed the
fact sheet provided to the County Board Supervisors explaining the award of the RFP to
Lutheran Social Services.
• Reminder – Trempealeau County HCC Center tour, Friday, June 4 – Meet at the first
floor lobby of DHS at 9 a.m.
• Intoxicated Driver Program Follow Up – Roy confirmed that the subcommittee will
meet to look at options and will be reporting back.
• Update on changes at Community Health Partnership – Paul Cook will be attending the
next ADRC meeting on June 16 at 4 p.m. to provide more information about the
changes at Community Health Partnership.
