H. Report from the Chair

Chair STROMAN stated she is considering in the future folding into the chair report

activities.

I. Reports from Board Members

THOMPSON shared the partnership with the health care system, specifically at St Mary’s

continues to grow with the Madison Metropolitan School District. They were able to hire

additional students for permanent employment and are working on a project for direct

hires as opposed to internships to eventual employment. That will hopefully include adults

and not just students.

J. Report(s) from Manager and/or Staff

FISCHER shared the ADRC had six walk-ins on the first day of the reopening. The

ADRC currently has two bilingual hmong positions and are looking into now having two

bilingual Spanish positions.

The Dementia Care Specialist has been hired. Ellen Taylor starts Tuesday, June 21.

FISCHER said now that the ADRC doors are open they will be doing a lot more

outreach.

Transportation has moved from the Northport Office to the ADRC.

With the reopening, there are four staff who are scheduled to come in a day to handle

walk-ins and one DBS to handle walk in clients. The rest of the staff have the option of

working remotely or being in the office. The ADRC continues to run their phone center

from home.

K. Future Agenda Items

1. Transition into Adult Long Term Care Services

BOCHER suggested a joint presentation with Bill Huisheere and Thompson. What do

things look like, what is being met, what are the needs, how is transition going and how

is the employment piece specifically going.

2. Caregiver Crisis
