Motion by Borleske, second by Fordham to approve the minutes of the previous
meeting.
Motion carried.
None.
Letter addressing concerns of Mr. Kriegl was placed in mailbox of all county board members.
Was decided to postpone discussion of the results of the survey until the next meeting on August 22.
After compiling the ratings of the subcommittee,
the RFP will be awarded to WIPFLi. Copies of rankings will
be provided to members if they wish. Selling points for the organization
were the qualifications of the staff and ability of staff to meet the needs
that were in the RFP. Very good job of organizing the proposal and understood
the scope. Have a lot of experience in working with rural and county health
issues. Some discussion of the price and what additional costs might include.
Motion by Haugen, second by Stoeckmann to approve the Resolution
to contract with WIPFLi for the operational analysis of the SCHCC and
forward the resolution to the County Board. Motion Carried.
Discussion of preparation of professional design services. Kathy asked committee to postpone the discussion of the RFP for design services until the September meeting. It is a time consuming project and this would still meet the timeline proposed. This RFP would be due back in early December with a contract award being made December 19 of 2006 and the final report due in June of 2007. May be helpful to share the timeline with the full board.
Updates from Functional Group - Group has not met since the last meeting
of this committee.
Continuation of gaps discussed - Outpatient therapies (both physical and occupational
therapy) could possibly provide services on an outpatient basis.
Adult daycare also could be provided and the group felt there was a need for
this service in the county. Transportation is always an issue with adult daycare
but could be an opportunity to team with the Commission on Aging for this service.
Some services which could be provided are medication management, socialization,
activities, meals, bathing, and other activities of daily living. Also can
be used as respite for families who care for an elderly individual.
Update on long-term care redesign - Nothing new since last meeting. Both Trish and Bill will be presenting the primer on long-term care at the August County Board meeting.
Nothing new but will add date to the document.
Timeline and Task List. Still on target with dates. For the next meeting
will present the compilation of the best practices.
Next meeting date will be Tuesday, August 22, at 6:00 p.m.
Motion by Haugen, second by Alexander to adjourn.
Motion carried.
Respectfully submitted: Joan Fordham, Secretary, Continuum of Care Planning Committee
