Stephanie Stark arrived at 5:06 p.m.
Ms. Billeter distributed the July 2016 Accounts Payable Invoice Report for the board to
review.
Ms. Billeter presented the June 2016 financial report to the board. Expenditures are right at
or slowly above average. The Winnebago placements are only recorded through April at this
point.
 Adult & child placement data – Adult placements are pacing over budget especially
at Winnebago. Many residents have been discharged from Winnebago. Mr. Schmidt
cautioned that there could be additional placements yet this year. There are many
kids in placement; however most of them are in level 1 and 2 foster homes which are
less costly than Residential Care Center (RCC) or treatment foster home placements.
As a result, placements for children are pacing appropriately at this time.
 Comprehensive Community Services revenue report – Chippewa County has had

Tami Billeter – Operations Manage
Jeremy Hernandez – Positive Alternatives
Patty Draxler – Family Resource Center
A Public Hearing was held for the purpose of receiving the public’s input relative to the 2017
Human Services budget. Patty Draxler was available from the Family Resource Center. Their
program focuses on the importance of early childhood and investment. They provide services to
the residents in Pierce County. She thanked the board for their support and the resources that
have been given to the agency. This is the main prevention expense for children and families in
our county and the funding comes from the Preserving Safe and Stable Families grant.
Public Participation
Hearing
Jeremy Hernandez was available from Positive Alternatives to discuss the services that they
provide which include: group home, prevention, and intervention services. Pierce County uses
three of the group homes. Aftercare services are also provided for long-term placements.
Recently Positive Alternatives has been providing mentoring and supervised visitations to Pierce
County residents as well. Mr. Hernandez looks forward to the continued partnership with Pierce
County.
Motion by Reis, seconded by Wood, to close the Public Participation Hearing at 5:37

review.
Ms. Billeter presented the May 2016 financial report to the board. Expenditures are slightly
above average. Mental Health placements are trending high at this point due to some
hospitalizations at Winnebago. The board received the information as presented.
Mr. Schmidt discussed the 2017 proposed new positions and program priorities with the
board. Finance and Personnel approved the Court Services position and three other requests
were deferred until the next meeting. The Court Services position requires a 25% cash
match. Two Comprehensive Community Services (CCS) social worker positions are being
requested. There is no levy required. The board instructed Mr. Schmidt to move these
positions forward to Finance & Personnel since no levy is required. The final position
request is for a .6 FTE Social Worker for foster care licensing and recruitment. The county
already has a .4 FTE Social Worker for these duties; however there is a need for a full-time
staff. This would require 100% levy. Due to not having enough local licensed family foster
homes, kids will be placed in more restrictive and expensive homes. Motion by Plunkett,
seconded by Rogers, to make the foster care licensing and recruitment Social Worker
position the top priority and forward to Finance & Personnel for consideration. Motion was
defeated by voice vote.
Mr. Schmidt asked the board to consider a reorganization of the Human Services Worker to a
Social Worker position in the Community Behavioral Health (CBH) Unit (CCS program).
The current Human Services worker has resigned and will leave employment on 8/1/16. The
Masters level CCS Service Facilitator will be on maternity leave August – November 2016.
The agency lacks the service facilitation capacity Rneeded to safely serve the currently
enrolled clients thus requiring the immediate attention to this matter. The increase in cost
would be approximately $10,280 which would require no county levy. Motion by Wood,
seconded by Rogers, to reorganize a currently budgeted Community Behavioral Health
Human Services Worker position to a CBH Social Worker position and forward to the
Finance and Personnel Committee for further consideration. Motion carried.
 2017 Human Services budget presentation
scheduled for Thursday, August 18, 2016 at 5:00 p.m. in the Lower Level Meeting Room
of the Pierce County Office Building.
Motion by Rogers, seconded by Wood, that the meeting be adjourned at 6:41 p.m.

Also Present:
Ms. Billeter presented the April 2016 financial report to the board. Expenditures are
right on target at this point. They are trending higher at this point than in previous years.
The state revenues are no longer given to counties in advance so revenues will start to
trend below budget until year-end close.
Mr. Schmidt presented the 2016 semi-annual report to the board. He stated that he met
with all of the managers to discuss priorities for the 2017 budget. This report includes
the trends and issues of each program and highlights 2017 budget priorities based on
these meetings. Several new staff members are being requested in the 2017 budget as a
result including: 1.0 Child Comprehensive Community Services (CCS) Social Worker,
1.0 CCS Adult Social Worker, 1.0 Court Services Worker, and a .6 FTE Foster Care
Coordinator, in addition to the 1.0 Community Behavioral Health (CBH) Social Worker
that was approved in mid-2016. Levy may be needed to pay for the .6 FTE Foster Care
Coordinator, the 1.0 FTE CBH Social Worker and the 25% match for the 1.0 FTE Court
Services Worker.
Motion by Rogers, seconded by Reis, to receive the director’s semi-annual report.

 Staffing plan update – The new staffing plan was distributed which includes the
new Community Behavioral Health social worker position.
 News article on family teaming – Mr. Schmidt met with Bill Kirk from the Pierce
County Herald and discussed the Partnership for Family teaming concept. The
article was distributed for the board to view.
 2016 child and adult placement trends – Placements are trending even at this
point. A few kids have gravitated to a higher placement level.
 Comprehensive Community Services (CCS) revenue update – The agency has
received $100,000 with the original approved Medical Assistance rate. The
reconciliation process will take place later in the year. The state has put out a
$300,000 grant that the consortium will apply for that would help to cover the
start-up costs of the program if approved.
Mary Kelly was available to discuss the Drug Court program. The program only takes
high risk offenders. Currently the felony Operating While Intoxicated (OWI) offenders
are not being served. The original intent was to apply for a federal grant that would pay
for the start-up of an OWI court. After reviewing the details of the grant, the decision
was made to not apply for the federal OWI Court grant due to the levels of complexity to
administer the grant. The OWI Court will still be implemented using current resources.
No action was taken.
Samantha Brill was hired in 2014 as the Court Services worker funded by the Treatment
Alternatives and Diversion (TAD) grant. This grant will be competitive beginning in
2017. The grant application will be due on June 30th and will be awarded by the end of
August/early September, 2016. There have been 189 referrals to the program, averaging
101 referrals per year which is much higher than anticipated. This grant application
would include the request for a second Court Services worker. There is a required 20%
match for the grant that can be in-kind. Motion by Wood, seconded by Sorenson, to
approve the Treatment Alternatives and Diversion (TAD) grant submission. Motion
carried.

Ron Schmidt, Fred Johnson and Jamie Benson were available to discuss a possible
collaboration pilot project between Pierce County, St. Croix County, and the River Falls
School District. The cost implications of hiring 1 FTE social worker would be divided three
ways. This employee would be hired by the River Falls School District. The focus for the
position would be on early prevention and outreach for families and kids in the River Falls
school district. The goal would be to prevent deeper-end placements and reduce the number
of adverse childhood experiences.

Collaboration Pilot
Approved 4/14/16
This idea has been presented to the St. Croix County Health and Human Services board and
will be addressed at the River Falls School District board meeting on February 15, 2016. A
detailed plan for the project will be forthcoming.
The board supported the idea of moving forward with the pilot project planning. No action
was taken.
Carolyn Sorenson entered at 5:08 p.m.
Ms. Billeter presented monthly vouchers for January, 2016 to the board for review.
The 2016 Purchase of Service Contract list was presented to the board. Motion by
O’Connell, seconded by Rogers, to approve the 2016 Purchase of Service contracts.
Motion carried.
 Comprehensive Community Services (CCS) revenue update – The Center for
Medicaid Services (CMS) made a determination that CCS start-up costs would
not be reimbursed by Medical Assistance (MA). There may still be recourse for
reimbursement. Pierce County has about $50,000 in total costs including
administration and indirect. The expected revenue from Chippewa County is still
on track for April – December 2015 and should be received in early 2016.
Mr. Schmidt asked the board to consider hiring a full-time social worker in the
Community Behavioral Health unit. This position was asked for previously in the 2016
budget process, but was put on hold at that point. Pierce County is performing the same
work with 40% less staff than other surrounding counties. Mr. Schmidt is concerned that
workload management is not able to meet administrative and professional standards.
There has been a nearly 80% increase in the crisis workload from 2014 to 2016. Motion
by Reis, seconded by O’Connell to approve the increase in staffing of 1.0 FTE Social
Worker using existing levy from mental health placements in 2016 and to ask for new
levy in the 2017 budget and forward to the Finance and Personnel Committee for
consideration. Motion carried.
Dan Reis left the meeting at 6:43 p.m.
Board discussed draft strategic plan. Motion by O’Connell, seconded by Rogers , to

from previous approved trainings/meetings. Motion by Stark, seconded by Reis, to
carried.
Ms. Kristi Bechtel from West Central Wisconsin Community Action Agency (West CAP)
was present at the meeting to discuss the Social Security, Outreach, Access & Recovery
(SOAR) program in Pierce County. This program helps homeless individuals who have a
mental health or physical disability apply for social security benefits and is administered by
Ms. Bechtel. There is no commitment of county funds needed for this program. Motion by
Reis, seconded by Mercord, to approve a resolution authorizing the initiation of the SOAR
program in Pierce County using the Community Development Block Grant and forward to
Corporation Counsel and Finance and Personnel for consideration. Motion carried with
Stark and Wood abstaining from the vote.
Mr. Schmidt discussed the proposed Senate Bill 326 and Assembly Bill 429 that suggest that
all reports of suspected or threatened child abuse received by Human Services agencies be
forwarded to law enforcement within 12 hours. Many reports that the agency receives now
are screened out and determined that no child safety issues are present as they do not meet
the criteria of child abuse and neglect. Mr. Schmidt does not believe that these bills are
feasible given our current resources. There is concern that the bills compromise child
welfare and best practices. Motion by Reis, seconded by Mercord, to approve the draft
resolution as amended, Opposition to Senate Bill 326/Assembly Bill 429 affecting Child
Welfare practice, and forward to Corp Counsel and Finance and Personnel for consideration.
Motion carried. The board requested that the resolution be approved on first reading at the
County Board meeting.

and longevity. Revenues for 2015 that are receipted in 2016 will be booked back to 2015.
The Accounts Payable Invoice report for December 2015 was also available for review.

will be forthcoming.
