Department Updates:

  1. Jenna Greenwood, Child Protective Services Supervisor, Children’s Assessment Center – Human Services Department: Jenna Greenwood discussed updates regarding the Child Advocacy Center.  Currently in the process of creating a name for the service.  As a refresher:  the forensic interviews will be conducted at the West Square Building in the Human Services Department rather than in Madison. The advantage of having it in Sauk County is having the collaboration of many different agencies such as law enforcement, social workers, District Attorney (DA), victim services committee, Hope House, and mental health for crisis.  The interview equipment will allow the DA’s office to stream and watch remotely.  They also can give feedback to the interviewer during this process, which avoids repeated interviews.
  1. Service Status: COVID-19:  Dan Brattset updated the current COVID-19 process.  Slight uptake in office face-to-face services.  Each type of service is working on advance planning for what the new normal will look like regarding face-to-face appointments in clinics, home visits, etc.  Dan contacted Corporation Counsel regarding staff inquiring of participants about their vaccination status.  Dan is awaiting a response.  Dan praised all staff for their participation in maintaining safety protocol.   

Next Meeting:

The next meeting of the Sauk County Human Services Board will be June 14, 2021, at 4 p.m. in the County Board Room 326A.

Motion by Valerie McAuliffe, seconded by James Bowers, to adjourn at 4:34 p.m.  Motion carried.
