H. Report from the Chair

Stroman announced September 12 – September 16 is Disability Voting Rights Week.

There is going to be a press conference September 15 at 9:00 am. in the lobby and on

the steps of Madison City Hall.

Stroman said she is going to be more aware of other Councils, Committees and Boards

whose work overlap our areas of interest. She will inform board members of their

agendas and minutes when they are posted.

I. Report from Board Members

Yochum said the WI Senior Advocates group has been working on get out the vote for

seniors. A well informed flyer has been designed by a sub-committee to help with this.

Ferguson said on Monday, October 10 at 7:00 pm. He will be hosting Access Hour on

WORT on behalf of the treatment assistance fund. Doctors from the Transdisciplinary

Center for the research of psychoactive substances at the UW School of Pharmacy will

be talking about the clinical trials that are ongoing.

Nichols said the UW strike by nurses has been aborted thanks to the intervention of the

governor. The demands they were seeking were due to poor staffing and unavailability of

needed resources to provide the care and their concern for both safety and quality and

have their union recognized.

Olson wanted to bring to attention the issue of two large companies buying up the

managed care entities in the state. There are concerns in the aging and disability

community that this will have a negative impact on the quality of care. Olson said the

UW Retirement Association, which she is a member of, is going to take part in the UW

Resource Fair. Olson plans to have a table there with Area on Aging and ADRC

Brochures and plans to talk to people about transitioning into retirement.

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

Fischer said the ADRC has reached out to 35 families that have Katie Beckett Medicaid

where the young adults turned 18 and older during the public health emergency. These

young adults will lose Katie Beckett Medicaid when the health emergency ends and as a

result need to find alternative health insurance. The ADRC will reach out to those families

to offer help and assist them in finding a different form of health insurance.

The County budget came out for Human Services and in that was a full time resource

position and a half time dementia care position to be added to the ADRC. The ADRC is

extremely pleased with the addition of these positions.

The county is transitioning to offering hybrid meetings. Equipment is being added to the

ADRC conference rooms so that we can host hybrid meetings. The board meeting can

be offered as a hybrid meeting option once staff is trained and all the equipment is

installed.

K. Future Agenda Items

Stroman would like to have Astra Iheukumere come speak to the board.

Nichols would like a presentation from Leading Age. They do a biannual report on the

workforce demographics in long term care. Nichols would also like to have Dr. Barbara

Bower or her assistant come to talk about the 2021 LPN survey.

Yochum mentioned he would like to have the decision made at the next board meeting as

to where the public hearing will be. Yochum said he would like Angela Velasquez,

Division Administrator, to come talk with the board.
