Participant Introductions

Business Items for Discussion and/or Action:

A. Discussion of the possibility of the Sauk County Health Department to subcontract the management of the Sauk County Aging & Disability Resource Center Nutrition, Prevention and Caregiver programs through the 2015 Budget process. Keri Olson provided a brief history of ADRC programs and explained that this was being considered to identify synergies within departments, maintain grant compliance, assure growth to the programs and provide peer support to the Nutrition and Prevention Specialist using the current Health Department infrastructure, including the Dieticians and Nutritionist currently on staff. Currently, each program is consulting with “model” programs within the state that were identified by the Greater Wisconsin Agency on Aging Resources to learn more about their programs.

Discussion followed.

Kriegl had questions regarding the consideration of the reversal of services, for example having the Health Department staff come to the ADRC. Olson shared that moving one individual to a department that already has the infrastructure and technology model in place for evidence-based programming appeared to be more fiscally responsible than moving several individuals from the Health Department that are in several existing programs to the ADRC. Kriegl also addressed why focus groups have not been completed on this topic. Olson reported that she has asked if GWAAR, the grantor, would assist with the facilitation of focus groups in Sauk County. GWAAR did not immediately respond. However, there are focus groups planned in the future. Kriegl also requested state demographics of the aging population. Carlson asked specifically what would Kriegl be looking for in the demographic statistics and how and what would be done to compare the information once it was acquired. Would we need to be looking for lifestyle, social analysis and income level? Would the information be by county so that Sauk County would not be compared with data from Milwaukee County vs. Wood County? Also, it was prudent to be mindful of the motivation of the focus group data. A determination would need to be made as to how all the information would be applied once the data was acquired. Discussion followed.

Riek inquired on how the information would be shared and reported for both the Board of Health and the ADRC Committees. Warwick and Olson would provide regular reports to each committee and if something large or significant came up, it would then be addressed in a Special Joint Meeting with both, the Board of Health and the ADRC Committee. Also, a concern to consider should be the transportation barriers for dining centers and home delivered meals. Discussion followed.

Marty Krueger encouraged both committees to consider this proposal. Krueger affirmed that this is something that should be attempted and explored.

Continued discussion will follow at the individual committee level.

Next meeting date: The next meeting date will to be determined.

Motion by Von Asten, second by Giebel to adjourn the meeting. Motion carried. The time was 7:18 p.m.

Respectfully submitted by:

Dave Riek
