F. Board Member Reports

1. Esther Olson - Report on the planning for the June 17 meet and greet with State

Legislators.

State Senate and Assembly Wrap up - what passed and what did not.

Olson said the meet and greet event is scheduled to be held June 17, 2026

from 1:00 to 3:00 at the Job Center ballroom.

The four items that will be discussed are ADRC funding, housing, transportation

and nutrition.

Olson said she will do a report on the legislation on what passed and what didn't

and send to Fischer to send out.

G. Manager's Report

1. ADRC Update

Fischer said the ADRC has made an adjustment to its hours due to the ADRC

being down four I&A staff with the county budget hiring freeze.

The State is transitioning the time reporting on an excel spreadsheet to the

current data base system where staff document clients notes. Time reporting

will be done in the client note system where the State can automatically obtain

the information. This month the ADRC workers will attend training on the new

system. Fischer further explained the process.

The workers will start at 7:45, however the phone center and walk ins start at

8:30 and end at 4:00. From 7:45 to 8:30 is considered the worker's "protected

time" to work on their paperwork to enter their notes in the system. They can

account for their time so the ADRC can draw down from the contract on the

Medicaid funding.
