Public Comment - Dick Mielke spoke in support of the Continuum of Care Campus being located in Reedsburg because of the uncertainty of the longevity of the wells and waste water treatment plant. Mr. and Mrs. Arland LaBansky spoke in support of staying on the current site. Krueger indicated that he and Schauf will be guests on "News and Views" on WRDB radio this Thursday morning to discuss the Continuum of Care Campus.
Communication - Letter received from architect, Rick Moore addressed to members of this committee. Schauf passed out updated ADRC Timeline.
Fordham spoke to the group about the process of this committee. Read recent interviews/articles from members of this committee and neither mentioned the continuum of care. Concerned that members know that this committee is not proposing that we just build a replacement HCC, but a continuum of care campus. Committee members were cautioned about actions taken outside of the committee process, however do have a right to voice their opinions and vote their conscience. Endres agreed, adding that once decisions are made - whether you agree or not - the committee needs to stand behind that decision. Borleske and Carlson defended their positions against building at the Creekview Estates site.
Reviewed draft Resolution which was distributed to the County Board at their last meeting. Carlson requested two resolutions; one for site and one for services/downsizing. Discussion followed.
Motion by Carlson to split the resolution into two parts each containing a different site. No second.
Schauf indicated that members can make an amendment to change one of the components of the resolution on the board floor. At that point can change the number of beds or site.
Discussion of the wording of the final resolution in which several minor changes were made. Since changes were made in the resolution, it will have to be signed at a later date. Schauf will be at the Board of Trustees meeting and will bring the resolution to them at that time. The resolution will also be available for Continuum of Care members to sign before the board meeting on the 17th.
Motion by Alexander, second by Endres to approve the revisions made to the resolution. Motion carried.
Schauf indicated that a closed session was not required since they have not received final information from the appraiser. Hopefully will have the information by Monday. Costs of the property is a complex issue, not just the appraised amount, just as the cost of operation on either site has many issues associated with it including fire protection and insurance. Staying on the current site would also involve razing the current buildings which can be costly.
Next meeting date will be July 24 - joint with the Commission on Aging and Continuum of Care. After the resolution goes to the board in July (if it passes) the Building Committee will take over the building project portion. The Continuum of Care will continue to work on the ADRC. The Cont. of Care/Trustees will be notified of final appraisal costs with a special meeting at 5:00 on July 17 in this room.
Motion by Borleske, second by Endres to adjourn.
Respectfully submitted,
