  8. Business office report and voucher review. Chairman Bach asked if the accounts receivable information sent out early was helpful. Was decided that we will discontinue sending out the reports early since so many accounts change over the last week of the month. If members have any questions, they should contact Kim or Steve and questions will be addressed.
    • Motion by Murray, second by Langer to approve the vouchers in the amount of $103,752.31. Motion carried.
  9. Administrator's report. Kim updated the board on various activities of the HCC over the past month. We are focusing on preperation for survey. Attended several meetings including the Inter-County Coordinating Commission which was held here, and the Continuum of Care Committee. It became necessary to quarantine a neighborhood because of a respiratory-type illness. The quarantine went well and the staff are to be commended for doing the extra work necessary to continue to give 5-Star care to our residents. We found it medically necessary to order some specialty pressure relief mattresses and Chairman Bach was consulted. We now ask the board for approval of the purchase.
    • Motion by Borleske, second by Carlson to approve the purchase of the medically necessary mattresses and to use carryover funds for the purchase. Motion carried.
  10.  Discussion of Programs and Priorities. Chair Bach briefly explained the reason for this discussion. Kim summarized our operation. The HCC provides 1. Short term rehabilitation 2. Long term skilled nursing 3. Memory Care. Supervisor Endres indicated the the Building Committee has finished their work and turned any remaining building associated decisions over to the Board of Trustees. Supervisor Gaalswyk discussed with the board some issues he has. Discussion followed. He indicated that he was glad to be given the opportunity to voice his opinion.
  11.  Next meeting will be April 8, 2010 at 5:30 p.m.
