G. Manager's Report

1. ADRC Update

Fischer announced she will be going out on leave and Bill Huisheere will be the

interim leader during her leave.

Fischer said the ADRC has adjusted it's hours with the phone center and walk

ins starting at 8:30 and ending at 4:00. This is to help with the three positions

open due to the county budget hiring freeze.

Fischer said the State has moved all ADRC's to a new data base system where

staff document client notes. Fischer said the workers need to document every

15 minutes what they are doing and who doing with so can draw down from the

contract on the Medicaid funding.

Fischer said the ADRC continues to be busy with phone calls and walk ins.
