FAMILY SUPPORT PROGRAM ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING NOTES
Our Savior’s Lutheran Church, Iron River
Tuesday March 4th, 2014 at 10:00 am
Committee Members Present: Shelli Listing
Committee Members Absent: Ann Glavan, Barbara Gadbois, Mary Lou Jahr, Renea Woerle, Lona Schmidt
Call to Order: Due to the lack of a quorum, an official meeting could not be held. The informal meeting was
called to order by Carrie Linder at 10:15 and introductions were made. Carrie Linder introduced Megan
Collins, the new Youth Services Social Worker who has been in the position since 11/2013.
Adoption of 8/13/2013 minutes: Tabled due to only having one advisory committee member present.
2014 FSP Plan: Carrie Linder shared the Family Support Program Annual Plan Update. In 2013 18 families
were served through Family Support. This number is lower than in the past due to there being several staff
changes in 2013. There was some discussion regarding how families are served through Family Support and
the current status of the waiting list for families to get on Family Support. The goal for 2014 is to review
current family needs and use of Family Support funds and to move families off the wait list and into the
program in as timely a manner as possible.
Citizen Committee Member Selection Process: This topic was tabled due to Bayfield County currently being in
the process of reviewing/revising how the county structures committees for the county.
2014 FSPAC Membership: Member attendance and the need to recruit new members were discussed. This
will be discussed further in the next meeting.
2014 FSPAC Meeting Schedule: A change in the meeting schedule was proposed due to the timing of the
Annual Plan Update. The state sends out the annual update requests in February. In order to have that
information compiled, reviewed by the Family Support Advisory Committee and submitted in timely fashion,
meetings will be held on a quarterly basis starting in the month of March. That would shift the quarterly
schedule to March, June, September and December. Day of month and time of day will stay the same at this
time. Lastly, meetings will be moved to Washburn.
Adjournment: The meeting adjourned at 11:00 am.
