3. Motion by Netzinger, second by Langer to approve the minutes of the previous meeting.
   Motion carried.
4. Public Comment - Margaret Burggraf, Activity Director, expressed concern about not having the bus leases signed so that residents were unable to attend various community events. Has looked into other options and they are either too expensive or will not accommodate enough wheelchairs to make them viable for HCC use.
5. Communications - None
6. Bill McClary explained the DNR yearly Compliance Maintenance Report Summary for the WWTP which is due the end of this month. Several areas are tested and rated. Our report generated a 4.0 out of 4.0.
7. Disposal of used furniture. West explained that we have old used furniture to get rid of and would like permission to proceed with the process begun last year for dispersal. A non profit organization takes the furniture and ships it to third world countries for their use.
   Motion by Carlson, second by Borleske to approve of the dispersal of the furniture.
   Motion carried.
8. Superintendent's report. Work continues on the WIPFLi report including developing a core staffing schedule for nursing, looking at software alternatives, and plans to send out a portion of flat work in the laundry to test the out sourcing possibility. Currently reviewing the bids for Physical and Speech Therapies a second time and hopefully will make a recommendation to the board at the July meeting.
9. Discussion of the MOU and Benefit Club. Currently the MOU and the bus leases have not been signed. Gary Christianson, Benefit Club Treasurer spoke to the board regarding the leases and MOU. Will take the MOU before his board for review. Saw no problem with signing the bus leases providing the old lease language would be acceptable. Both parties agreed. Some form of financial statement could be provided. Will have the MOU on the agenda again for next month.
10. Penny Clary, Business Office Manager was introduced to the board. She explained the need for the proposed write-offs indicating that the total is .14% of total revenue, which is spread over a three year period.
    Motion by Schroeder, second by Carlson to approve the write-offs in the amount of $36,367.57.
    Motion carried.
11. The Business Office has been updating the billing forms and general policies and procedures. Our Medicare reviews are now down to between 20 - 30%. The Physical Therapy staff has improved their documentation so that process is improving.
    Motion by Borleske, second by Netzinger to approve the vouchers in the amount of $116,833.20.
    Motion carried.

17. Continuum of Care update. Had a joint meeting on the 22nd with three MATC representatives there. Have narrowed the sites down to three areas. Will meet again with the architect on June 12th when further information will be available. West added that he has had discussions with Bill Orth and a social worker from Human Services regarding the seven residents placed out of county. Of the seven one would possibly be able to return here. True behavior unit would be expensive to run and staff. When Family Care is up and running we will be better able to assess the need for other alternative living arrangements, however should get something into the capital plan. Extra land would allow us to be flexible in the future.
18. Next meeting will be July 3, 2007 at 3:00 p.m.
    Motion by Schroeder, second by Netzinger to adjourn.
    Motion carried.
