BAYFIELD COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES
FAMILY SERVICES ADVISORY COMMITTEE (FSAC) MEETING NOTES
Courthouse Conference Room A & Remote
Wednesday, April 12th, 2023, at 4:30 pm
Committee Members Present: Bev Patterson, Mary Dougherty (via Teams), Bev Lindell (via
Teams), & Lona Schmidt (via Teams).
Committee Members Absent: Nancy & Dale Johnson.
Others Present: Mary Anich (Family Services Section Manager), and Nina Bucher (Support
Staff).
Introductions and Call to order: Chairman Schmidt called the meeting to order at 4:34.
Minute Approval: Schmidt asked if there were changes or a motion to approve the 1/11/23
FSAC meeting minutes. None were cited so Lindell made the motion to approve and Schmidt
seconded. Motion carried.
Public Comment Opportunity: No public comment.
New Committee Member Recruitment: Anich asked for input on Citizen member applicant
Darlene Neff. Discussion ensued. Schmidt made a motion to recommend Darlene Neff be
approved for the FSAC Committee by the Human Services Board, Patterson seconded. Motion
carried.
Staffing Updates: Anich relayed that the three newer hires were busy training and doing
great! She noted that active recruiting for the last CPS opening has been put on hold until
these three are trained to a point where they can work independently. Hoping for May
timeframe. The current staff are enjoying their Family Services teammates!
Program reports: WI Learn is a new Child Protective Services (CPS) onboarding training
program that began 1/1/2023. New CPS workers throughout the State are assigned to a
cohort (group) to complete the training together virtually. Every two weeks members join
together in a Community Huddle to cover different topics. The training is proving very valuable
as all workers are learning the same information and networking. The training period is the
first six months of employment. Only the latest hire is currently completing the WI Learn
training.
Informational Items: Anich explained that the Behavioral Health workers who are now
overseen by Tom Croteau in the Behavioral Health Programs section are not covered by an
Advisory Committee and could possibly be added under the FSAC. If this is approved, Tom will
join the meetings and topics related to Behavioral Health be discussed.
Minutes are subject to
change before approval
at next FSAC meeting
