Review/Clarify Wait List Policy

 

Peggy distributed a draft of the wait list policy that will be implemented in the ADRCs.  Comments and suggestions were made to the draft, and a revised version will be e-mailed to the Steering Subcommittee.

Discuss Economic Support Workload Issues

 

The issue of whether the CMO can hire an ES Liaison is still not resolved.  We are awaiting a response from the state.

Follow-up on WRS Legislation

 

Legislation providing a second window for the long-term care district to join the Wisconsin Retirement System in 2008 passed the Assembly committee 9-1, and the Senate committee is scheduled vote this week.  DHFS registered in support of the legislation.

Update on Revised Business Plan Submission

 

Melissa and Maryellen distributed and reviewed the revised draft business plan.  Certain sections (e.g. solvency calculations) will be designated as proprietary information.  A final version will be submitted to the state by Friday.

Status Report on Hiring for MCO CEO, CFO, HR and IT Positions

 

Melissa gave a report on the status of hiring for the CEO, CFO, IT Manager and HR Director.  Second interviews for four HR Director finalists are tentatively scheduled for March 12.  Five CFO applicants will receive first round interviews; due to scheduling issues, those interviews may be split between Feb. 29 and March 4.  Six IT applicants are scheduled for first round interviews on March 6.

Prepare for Implementation Council

-          Status of Appointments

-          Review Revised Bylaws

-          Review Updated HR, IT and Fiscal Workplans

 

All approvals have been given by Vernon and Pepin counties. Jackson County sent an appointment letter to Todd Anderson; other names were included as an attachment to the enabling resolution for the long-term care district.  All counties need to have documentation of the appointments by the Council’s organizational meeting on March 25.

 

The group ran out of time to review the bylaws and workplans.

Wrap-Up

 

There will be no Steering meeting on March 12 if the second round of HR interviews is held that day.

 

The meeting was adjourned at 12 noon.
