Others Present: Tom Croteau (Behavioral Health and Community Services Manager), Mary Anich (Family Services Section Manager) and Nina Bucher (Support Staff). Introductions and Call to order: Schmidt called the meeting to order at 4 pm. Minute Approval: Schmidt asked for any changes or a motion to approve the 1/10/24 FBHSAC meeting minutes. No changes were cited so Neff made the motion to approve, and Patterson seconded. Motion carried. Nomination/election of Committee Chair: Schmidt was nominated for Chair, Patterson called for a unanimous ballot, and all voted to elect Schmidt as Chair. Nomination/election of Committee Vice-Chair: Lindell was nominated for Vice-Chair, Patterson called for a unanimous ballot, and all voted to elect Lindell as Vice-Chair. Public Comment: Patterson shared that Super One in Ashland just donated a sizable amount to Genesis through their “chip-up” program and encouraged other non-profit organizations to contact store manager Dustin to be considered for the program. Section Updates: Family Services-Anich presented staffing changes since the January meeting which included: Katie Bland starting as a CPS Social Worker; Liv Garramone starting as the Coordinated Services Team (CST) Worker; and Val Gurske-Westerlund leaving that has resulted in and opening for the Family Specialist position. The CST grant is a new program to Bayfield County and is similar to CCS but for children. The CST approach has the family of the child identify a team of people (can be friends, social workers, law enforcement, etc) to develop a plan of care to address the issues and keep the child safe. The goal is to empower the family to eventually be their own team/support system for the child. Anich stated that after the busy/difficult beginning of the year with complex cases, her section is now pulling out of crisis mode and reshuffling duties. Expensive placements have already put their section over the annual budget. Discussion was had about the relationship with Red Cliff Tribal Indian Child Welfare system and roles and responsibilities of each agency. Behavioral Health-Croteau stated that 2024 Behavioral Health services have already spent 82% of the annual budget in the first two months of the year. Grants are being pursued Minutes are subject to change before approval at next FBHSAC meeting K:\Agendas and Minutes\Family & Behavioral Health Services Advisory Committee\FBHSAC Minutes\2024 FBHSAC minutes\2024-05- 08_FBHSAC_Meeting minutes-draft.docx 2 to help with the cost and it was suggested that a dedicated person be hired to write the grants so that valuable behavioral health workers time is not being taken up doing so. Tamarack Health’s Behavioral Health unit’s available beds are being lowered to three in number during the next 6-7 weeks during a renovation. It is expected that ten beds will be available again in September. The CCS section continues to learn to use the ECHO system for electronic health records to help streamline record keeping and billing. Review of advisory committee roles, responsibilities and expectations: Croteau handed out a list of roles, responsibilities and expectations of advisory committee members and asked it there were any questions and should they create a purpose statement for the group. The purpose statement was opted out of but the group decided they should focus on advocacy by developing formal suggestions (resolutions) on topics to be presented to the Human Services and County Boards, and Personnel Committee. Initiatives and priorities should be on education/prevention “upstream” to attempt to shape behavior/positive decision making before negative activity actually happens. Review/recommend Patterson’s reappointment: Dougherty made a motion to retroactively approve Patterson’s reappointment to the Family & Behavioral Health Services Advisory Committee as of July 2023. Schmidt seconded and the motion carried. Future Meeting dates and time: Anich requested the Committee move the meeting to normal business hours and proposed a 10 am start time. All were in agreement so the remaining 2024 meetings will start at 10am on July 10, and October 9. Adjournment: The meeting adjourned at 5 pm. Minutes respectfully submitted by, Nina Bucher Nina Bucher
