May 18, 2013 |
***Monday, April 29, 2013, Commissioners met in
regular session with Chairman Dan Dinning,
Commissioner LeAlan Pinkerton, Commissioner Walt
Kirby, and Deputy Clerk Michelle Rohrwasser.
Clerk Glenda Poston joined the meeting.
Sheriff Greg Sprungl and Sheriff’s Office
Administrative Deputy Crystal Denton joined the
meeting at Commissioners’ request to discuss a
request for proposals for a Sheriff’s Office
vehicle.
9:00 a.m., Road and Bridge Superintendent Jeff
Gutshall joined the meeting to give the
departmental report.
Commissioners informed Ms. Denton and Sheriff
Sprungl that the county cannot request a
specific make and model when going out for
requests for proposals for a vehicle. The
specifications can be listed, but not the
specific make and model. Sheriff Sprungl said
this proposed vehicle will replace the jail
transport vehicle as it has become unreliable.
Sheriff Sprungl said he hasn’t decided yet if
the older vehicle will be deemed surplus and
this new one will replace it or if he will use
the older vehicle for parts.
Sheriff Sprungl said he wanted to discuss his
office’s vehicle maintenance and whether or not
to continue in the same fashion. Sheriff Sprungl
said Road and Bridge isn’t able to repair as
much on the Sheriff’s Office vehicles as is
needed so he is just trying to decide whether or
not to add to his upcoming budget for repairs.
Commissioners asked Sheriff Sprungl and Mr.
Gutshall to get together to talk about this.
Sheriff Sprungl and Ms. Denton left the meeting
at 9:05 a.m.
Mr. Gutshall presented a written report. Mr.
Gutshall said all roads have been opened to
hauling now and there have been requests to fix
soft spots in roads. There haven’t been as many
potholes in county roads as there have been in
prior springs, according to Mr. Gutshall. Road
and Bridge is still rock crushing and they have
cleaned up the sand used on Ridgewood Road.
Ridgewood Road is a bad road in the winter as it
has an excessive grade that requires a lot of
sand. Ditches on that road have also been rock
lined. Mr. Gutshall said a lot of the sand gets
blown off by traffic, but some of it will be
left alone due to funding.
Mr. Gutshall said Road and Bridge hauled one and
one half inch rock to Perkins Lake Road. Two
large trees at the bottom of Highland Flats have
been cut and removed. Mr. Gutshall said his
staff has attended the first aid/CPR training.
Commissioners said they would like to check to
see which offices might have this training.
Mr. Gutshall said Road and Bridge will install
new culverts and approaches on Lookout View
Road. Road and Bridge is also working on road
sign repairs. GIS Mapper Gary Falcon, Road and
Bridge Assistant Superintendent Ken Arthur and
Road and Bridge employee Randy Morris will
attend a class on the use of Mesa Notepads in
Lewiston for disaster purposes. This notepad can
also be used to GPS culverts, sign inventory,
etc.
There are a couple of major phone lines on Moon
Shadow Road and Mr. Gutshall discussed the
right-of-way constraints and drainage issues.
Approximately one-quarter of a mile will be
ripped out as it is torn up and the last section
will probably require grader patching and then
chipsealing the whole area. The work at Lookout
View Road will be minor as Frontier
Communications will just move their pedestal
back. Frontier has been good to work with,
according to Mr. Gutshall.
Mr. Gutshall said he may have to talk to Damon
Allen with the Idaho Transportation Department
about the Division Street turn-bay and the
county may decide not to do this project.
Commissioner Kirby mentioned what the discussion
was about this during the Boundary Area
Transportation Team (BATT) meeting.
Mr. Gutshall said operations will be bare bones
until funding matters are figured out. Business
will consist of maintenance and not
reconstruction.
Commissioner Pinkerton asked about Road and
Bridge’s diesel supply. Mr. Gutshall explained
the history of fuel tanks at Road and Bridge and
the trouble with them. Commissioner Pinkerton
spoke of his experience using biodiesel and how
inexpensive it is compared to regular diesel.
Mr. Gutshall said the trucks now have different
emission procedures and mentioned what goes
along with that. It was mentioned that there
might have been a potential issue with the
equipment’s warranty by switching to biodiesel.
Mr. Gutshall was asked to look into the use of
biodiesel.
The meeting with Mr. Gutshall ended at 9:35 a.m.
9:35 a.m., Courthouse Maintenance Jerry Kothe
joined the meeting to give the departmental
report. Mr. Kothe presented a written report.
The Waterways Board has received six concrete
picnic tables so they have been unloaded. Mr.
Kothe reported there had been a plugged sewer
line behind the Extension Office. The line runs
straight from the Sheriff’s Office and the
blockage seems to be due to some type of heavier
paper towel.
Mr. Kothe presented Commissioners with a quote
for repairing the benches in the large
courtroom. It’s thought there are enough funds
in the current budget to work on a couple of the
benches. Commissioners asked Mr. Kothe to
compare the two quotes received and decide which
is best.
Chairman Dinning said the topic of smoke alarms
has come up and he asked where they are located
in the Courthouse. Mr. Kothe pointed out the
locations. Clerk Poston mentioned the planting
that will be done in front of the Courthouse and
the need to have a schedule to keep the flowers
watered. Mr. Kothe said he has fertilized the
Courthouse lawn and he’s noticed moss growing.
Chairman Dinning asked when the last time the
back parking lot was sealcoated. Mr. Kothe said
he didn’t know, but Mr. Gutshall will have a
record of that. Clerk Poston mentioned the strip
down at the fairgrounds that needs tended to as
well. The bleachers at the fairgrounds need to
be pressure washed. Mr. Kothe said he feels the
boiler company should come up and check on the
boiler to make sure there are no bad valves,
etc. Tim Fulton should be ready to work on
Memorial Hall soon, according to Mr. Kothe.
The meeting with Mr. Kothe ended at 9:55 a.m.
Commissioner Pinkerton moved sign the Deed of
County Property for parcel #RP62N02E055570A and
parcel #RP62N02E117350A once the legal
descriptions have been verified. These are the
parcels that sold at the tax deed property
auction. Commissioner Kirby second. Motion
passed unanimously.
Chairman Dinning said Ron Sukenik, who is the
successful bidder for two out of the three tax
deeded properties offered for sale at auction on
April 22nd has made an offer to purchase the
third property as it did not sell at the
auction. Commissioners said another option is to
see if the adjoining property owner would like
to make an offer on this property.
Commissioner Pinkerton moved to appoint Bob Case
to the Boundary County Board of Community
Guardians, replacing Dick Hollenbeck with a term
to expire January 2016. Commissioner Kirby
second. Motion passed unanimously.
Kyle Flory and Rob Tenas of Kyle and Rob
Productions joined the meeting.
Chairman Dinning said there is approximately
$12,000 in a fund available for Mr. Flory and
Mr. Tenas to make their documentary for Boundary
County and if donations do not come in, the
county will have to budget for the remaining
$8,000 and pay it October 1st. Mr. Tenas and Mr.
Flory said that would be fine and they have set
up a business account. Chairman Dinning said
Commissioners are looking at the current
contract with the understanding that it will
change. Commissioner Pinkerton discussed having
a work schedule or timeline with Mr. Flory and
Mr. Tenas and including addendums to their
contract.
Commissioner Pinkerton moved to sign the
Documentary Contract with Kyle and Rob
Productions. Commissioner Kirby second. Motion
passed unanimously.
Chairman Dinning said the county’s prosecutor
submitted a letter of approval for the contract.
Clerk Poston said she will need the employment
identification number (EIN) information for Kyle
and Rob Productions. Chairman Dinning asked what
funding is needed to get the project started.
Mr. Flory said they could bring in their billing
information today.
The meeting with Mr. Flory and Mr. Tenas ended
at 10:30 a.m.
Deputy Clerk Nancy Ryals joined the meeting at
10:35 a.m.
Clerk Poston mentioned to Commissioners that she
and Deputy Clerk Nancy Ryals attended an
informational meeting on the Affordable
Healthcare Act. Clerk Poston said she is going
to obtain a quote on the Play or Pay Program for
health care and it’s just for information. Clerk
Poston informed Commissioners that part time
employees have to work less than 30 hours per
week otherwise the county will need to provide
medical insurance benefit.
Chief Probation Officer Stacy Brown joined the
meeting at 10:40 a.m.
Ms. Brown said she would like to turn a
part-time position in her office into a
permanent part-time position and the reason is
due to the increased amount of paperwork that is
coming in. The Idaho Juvenile Defender System
takes a good amount of time to enter information
and that is just trying to catch up. There is an
increase in case loads as they are up 60% from
normal. Ms. Brown said she thought she could pay
the juvenile probation officer position with
lottery funds, but she can’t take money from the
lottery fund for something that is already being
paid for. Ms. Brown said it isn’t supplanting
when it’s paying for this new part time
position. Ms. Brown said having an employee on
Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) frees up salary
while still covering medical insurance so it
could work. This part time position could take
the social history work from the probation
officer, but that also may not work as it’s
important for the probation officer to
understand the juvenile’s family situation.
Ms. Brown explained how her office is
designating the increasing work load. Chairman
Dinning said his concern would be in one year
that case load would drop back down. Ms. Brown
said she would have to let the part time
position go in that case. Chairman Dinning said
as long as the county can afford it the position
will be there if that is what he is hearing, but
if the case load or funding drops, Commissioners
will have to readdress this.
Commissioner Pinkerton said for confirmation
that this temporary employee knew at the end of
10 weeks the position would end and it was said
this condition could be reworded to state “until
the position is no longer needed.” Clerk Poston
said there is no money in the budget to fund
this position. Within the current budget there
is only $5,000 and there is money in the lottery
fund, but the lottery fund is not earmarked.
Chairman Dinning mentioned the pot of lottery
funds that wasn’t budgeted for salaries and
financial savings that will come up. It was
questioned if that savings will be enough to do
what is wanted or would it fit under the
program’s expenses. Clerk Poston said it is not
supplanting because the position didn’t exist
prior. Ms. Brown said she checked with the state
on this matter and funding has to be strictly
for juvenile probation and that is her intent.
Ms. Brown said this position is less than 24
hours per week. Clerk Poston said Commissioners
and Ms. Brown should also be cognizant of Public
Employment Retirement System (PERSI) benefits if
the part time employee works more than 20 hours
per week so 19 is the perfect number.
Chairman Dinning provided a recap and mentioned
that funds are available to do this. It was said
this part time employee will work 24 hours or
less per week and it’s just an extension of a
part time position. Commissioner Pinkerton said
he doesn’t have a problem with this scenario.
Ms. Brown said for clarification if the position
is not needed, it won’t be there and that is an
absolute.
Chairman Dinning said this is her department and
she is just keeping Commissioners informed.
The meeting with Ms. Brown ended at 10:50 a.m.
10:50 a.m., Commissioner Pinkerton moved to go
into closed session under Idaho Code 31-874.
Commissioner Kirby second. Motion passed
unanimously. 10:52 a.m., Commissioner Pinkerton
moved to go out of closed session. Commissioner
Kirby second. Motion passed unanimously.
Commissioner Pinkerton moved to deny indigent
applications #2013-13 and #2013-16 as per the
Clerk’s recommendation. Commissioner Kirby
second. Motion passed unanimously.
Deputy Clerk Ryals left the meeting at 10:55
a.m.
11:00 a.m., Commissioners and Clerk Poston
discussed the matter of the promissory note in
relation to the county’s Ambulance Service
District and Boundary Volunteer Ambulance. The
promissory note had been signed in order to
borrow $80,000 from the county’s Solid Waste
Department to be used as payment to Boundary
Volunteer Ambulance for county ambulance
service. Commissioners had received a copy of a
letter from the Attorney General’s Office
referencing a county’s borrowing and funding
issues and County Prosecutor Jack Douglas
concurred with the Attorney General’s Office
that Boundary County needs to pay the promissory
note back. Commissioners said there is no
question that process was started and the
$80,000 needs to be paid back. Chairman Dinning
said a copy of this opinion has been given to
Boundary Volunteer Ambulance and their attorney.
Commissioners tended to administrative duties.
11:30 a.m., Commissioners discussed county
property located behind the Courthouse that
Commissioners are considering offering for sale.
Chairman Dinning said he received one quote for
$500 to have an appraisal done and another quote
for over $1,000. Commissioner Kirby said a
proposed commercial use for this property looks
better to him in the long haul and this is a
small piece of property that doesn’t affect the
county’s ability to expand if it ever needs to.
Commissioners reviewed the property of interest.
Chairman Dinning said this property needs to be
declared surplus and a resolution needs to be
prepared.
Commissioner Pinkerton moved to declare Lots 3 –
7 of Block 4 surplus as it is not needed by
Boundary County and Commissioners feel it’s in
the best interest to sell this property.
Commissioner Kirby second. Motion passed
unanimously.
Commissioners received a new agreement from
Bonner County Juvenile Detention Center that
runs through September 2014. Commissioner
Pinkerton reviewed the cost of $110 per day to
house each juvenile. Clerk Poston asked if the
contract automatically renews and if the current
rate changes. The contract states that either
party can terminate the agreement with a 30 day
notice. Chairman Dinning said this does not in
any fashion terminate the agreement with the
Regional 1 Juvenile Detention Center and
Boundary County intends to keep using that
facility for the various services that are
offered. Sheriff Sprungl is also in agreement,
according to Chairman Dinning.
Commissioner Pinkerton moved to enter into and
sign the contact with Bonner County Juvenile
Detention Center. Commissioner Kirby second.
Motion passed unanimously.
Chairman Dinning said Commissioners had asked
County Prosecutor Jack Douglas to review what is
allowed pertaining to the purchase of an
easement through county property for access to
state land. A condition of the Commissioners was
that the road easement is to be open to the
public to the boundary line of the state land.
Commissioners talked about the reduced offer of
$4,000.
Commissioner Kirby moved to accept the offer of
$4,000 from Boundary Abstract for the road
easement west of the landfill subject to the
road being open to public at all times to the
boundary of the state’s land. Commissioner
Pinkerton second. Motion passed unanimously.
Commissioners said they would draft a letter to
Boundary Abstract notifying them of
Commissioners’ decision tomorrow.
11:45 a.m., There being no further business, the
meeting recessed until tomorrow at 9:00 a.m.
***Tuesday, April 30, 2013, Commissioners met in
regular session with Chairman Dan Dinning,
Commissioner LeAlan Pinkerton, Commissioner Walt
Kirby, and Deputy Clerk Michelle Rohrwasser.
Clerk Glenda Poston joined the meeting.
9:00 a.m., Restorium Board members Larry Dirks,
Larry Hall, Wilma DeVore, Jeanne Robinson;
Restorium Administrator Karlene Magee and
Assistant Jeri Witt joined the meeting.
Mr. Dirks said the Restorium Board has decided
to change the way they deliver their minutes to
Commissioners in that they will try to get their
meeting minutes to Commissioners within one week
to ten days after their meeting. Mr. Dirks said
in the past by the time the minutes got to
Commissioners matters were already history.
Chairman Dinning suggested sending Commissioners
the Restorium Board meeting minutes in draft
form and to just label them “draft”.
Mr. Dirks presented Commissioners with a copy of
the Restorium Board’s suggested room rate
increase. The Restorium Board recommends
increasing the rental cost of the small rooms
from the $1,351 to the proposed amount of
$1,752. This new rate would apply to new
residents moving into the Restorium and the
current residents would remain at the lower
rate. There are 18 rooms of this smaller size
left. Mr. Dirks said the rooms at the Restorium
have the same size living space, with the
exception that the large rooms have an extra
closet and more room around the sink. Services
provided are the same. Mr. Dirks said if
Commissioners approve of this proposal, the
Restorium Board can continue to work on this.
Chairman Dinning said last time Commissioners
talked with the Restorium Board he mentioned
talking with a consulting firm, and
Commissioners are in the process of waiting to
receive an email from this company just to see
what is recommend.
Commissioners and the Restorium Board discussed
the matter of rental rates again and Mr. Dirks
said his Board has discussed this matter quite a
lot during their last meeting. Mr. Dirks said he
asked Ms. Magee about the amount of Social
Security funds received from each resident and
$900 per month was a close average. The higher
the percentage is raised is more money, of
course, but it’s about the service; not the
room.
Chairman Dinning said there is another senior
care facility in the area and that facility’s
base rate is $2,800. Mr. Dirks said that is a
facility in which the resident basically takes
care of themselves. Chairman Dinning said the
Restorium helps with medications and that is a
difference. Ms. Magee said in most facilities
residents need assistance with bathing, taking
medications and doctor’s appointments and that
is considered extra.
Commissioner Kirby asked if there has been some
communication with new residents as to what
services are provided. Ms. Magee said yes, it’s
in the admissions packet. Commissioner Kirby
said he will review the Restorium’s Manual to
have a better understanding.
Chairman Dinning said what is being discussed is
about better communication so we all know what
is going on. Commissioners are ultimately on the
hook for making decisions.
Commissioner Pinkerton said to him it’s
important to make the Community Restorium
successful. Commissioner Pinkerton said for a
new Commissioner coming in it’s to see how the
Restorium is running, how long can the county
afford to fund “X” amount for the Restorium, and
how can the Restorium support itself for the
long run. The county needs to get the Restorium
to where it’s paying for itself as close as the
county can get so the Restorium can excel.
Commissioner Pinkerton mentioned the proposal of
raising rates for the smaller 18 rooms, but he
doesn’t see an increase for the larger rooms
unless he’s missing it. It was said the larger
rooms currently rent for $1,752, and there has
been a recommendation to increase the rent for
small rooms. Mr. Dirks said there would be an
increase in rent for everyone. Commissioners
said there are 18 rooms with a proposed increase
and there is already one room at $1,900 so will
there be any increase for the rest of the rooms.
Mr. Hall said the first of October there will be
an increase and Commissioner Pinkerton mentioned
the Restorium Board is proposing a 3% increase
for all residents.
Chairman Dinning said Commissioners just
received information about the Affordable
Healthcare Act and in the Act it mentions
matters involving part time employees that could
really affect the county as far as the Restorium
and other departments with part time employees.
Clerk Poston said any employee working more than
30 hours is considered a fulltime employee and
they would require benefits. The county now
cannot have part time employees working more
than 24 hours per week or 29 hours if they work
a 10 hour shift as they would need benefits,
which is expensive. The medical insurance rate
could cost $2,000 per month for a family if
there is an increase and currently this rate is
at $1,600.
Ms. Witt said currently the Restorium does have
part time employees who are working more than 30
hours per week. Ms. Magee asked what to do about
that as last time she had to reduce hours she
had an employee sign up for unemployment
benefits. Commissioner Pinkerton explained that
there is a lot of rhyme and reason for pushing
this cost increase for room rates.
Mr. Dirks said he’s concerned if the Restorium’s
rates are raised too high, families will want to
keep their elderly relatives at home so there is
a fine line that we all are aware of.
Commissioner Kirby said with new residents
coming to the Restorium we shouldn’t have that
scenario. Mr. Dirks said even current residents
will move into the smaller rooms. Chairman
Dinning said the county is also not sure about
what unemployment rates will do, etc., as far as
what the county is faced with. Chairman Dinning
said he’s not blaming anyone or saying anything
in a derogatory manner, but the Restorium has
the highest turnover probably because people
move on, but the county has to look at that. The
county also has to plan for when the Road and
Bridge Department doesn’t receive $1,000,000 in
Secure Rural Schools funding any longer. Road
and Bridge is trying to be proactive and
Chairman Dinning mentioned that two Road and
Bridge Department positions were cut and not
filled. The county has not come to a conclusion
with the Boundary Volunteer Ambulance yet as far
as a contract and the county is trying to figure
out how to accomplish meeting the needs.
Commissioner Pinkerton said unemployment is not
charged back to the Restorium so it’s not a cost
they bear; it’s borne in the general fund.
Chairman Dinning said there has been a lot of
turnover and Boundary County took a hit of
roughly $40,000 to $50,000.
Chairman Dinning said he tells the elected
officials and department heads during the
department head meeting once per month that
Boundary County is fortunate because of the good
relationships that the county offices have with
each other when other counties don’t get a long
as well. It takes real effort to go down the
road and that feuding doesn’t occur and that is
the only way to take care of going forward.
Ms. DeVore asked how much the consulting firm is
going to charge for their survey. Chairman
Dinning said he’s waiting for that information
and when he does hear, he will talk to Mr. Dirks
and Ms. Magee. Chairman Dinning explained what
Valley Vista Care Center, who has offered to
provide consulting services, is about. Mr. Dirks
asked to be notified of what Commissioners come
up with.
It was said January 1st of the next budget is
when the matter involving part time begins.
Chairman Dinning said to plan for two outcomes
such as worst case scenario along with a second
option. Chairman Dinning said there are a lot of
things Commissioners have to plan for, but they
will not know if the Affordable Healthcare Act
will ultimately have to be in affect.
Commissioner Kirby said no matter what we
collectively will pay for Obamacare.
Clerk Poston explained how worker’s compensation
insurance and unemployment insurance premium
increases eat into the levy increases for county
departments and how grants are decreasing, which
affects funding for probation officers, etc.
Commissioner Pinkerton said if the county is
going to keep these types of programs, we have
to find a way to make it work.
Mr. Hall asked if Commissioners are okay with
the room increases proposed. Chairman Dinning
said he’s not sure how Commissioners will handle
the increases coming up. Commissioner Pinkerton
said the increase is helpful, but it won’t get
to the fix the county is in. It can be agreed to
that this is a step in the right direction, but
we’re not there yet, although we’re making
headway.
Mr. Dirks said as far as the increase for the
smaller rooms does a public hearing have to be
held. Chairman Dinning said it does since the
increase is more than 5%, but he’s not worried
about a public hearing. Commissioners and the
Restorium Board have to look at what is in the
best interest of the facility.
County Prosecutor Jack Douglas joined the
meeting at 9:40 a.m.
Clerk Poston briefly discussed upcoming budget
scenarios and said the Restorium’s budget for
food last year was $65,000. Currently 64% of the
food budget has been expended, but only 58% of
the year is lapsed. If food costs have
increased, maybe the rate should be looked at
differently.
Ms. Witt said during the last state inspection
the Restorium was told they needed to add two
snack times so that is being done. In addition
to the regular meals residents are given fresh
fruit and juice twice every day and that is
expensive. Chairman Dinning said that is part of
the analysis to consider as maybe that 3% is not
breaking even. The county is not there to harm
existing residents in any fashion, but the
county needs to get on the financial path of not
being liable.
Ms. Robinson said she doesn’t understand the
surplus items such as the items in the storage
shed that need to be gotten rid of. Ms. Robinson
said she isn’t sure what needs to be sold at
auction. Chairman Dinning said anything that has
value that has been determined surplus has to be
sold; it can’t be given away. Once an item has
gone to auction and it doesn’t sell, Ms. Magee
can then sell that item to anyone she wishes.
Holding a public auction used to be done by
Commissioners, but now each department will
handle their own auction.
The meeting with the Restorium Board, Restorium
Administrator and Assistant Administrator ended
at 9:50 a.m.
9:50 a.m., Commissioner Kirby moved to go into
executive session under Idaho Code 67-2345(1)f,
to communicate with legal counsel for the public
agency to discuss the legal ramifications of and
legal options for pending litigation, or
controversies not yet being litigated but
imminently likely to be litigated. Commissioner
Pinkerton second. Commissioners voted as
follows: Chairman Dinning “aye”, Commissioner
Pinkerton “aye” and Commissioner Kirby “aye”.
Motion passed unanimously. 10:00 a.m.,
Commissioner Kirby moved to go out of executive
session. Commissioner Pinkerton second. Motion
passed unanimously.
Prosecutor Douglas left the meeting.
Commissioner Kirby moved to sign the letter of
support to the United States Forest Service in
regard to the Twentymile Creek Environmental
Analysis Project. Chairman Dinning yielded the
chair to second. Commissioners voted as follows:
Chairman Dinning “aye”, Commissioner Pinkerton
“nay”, and Commissioner Kirby “aye”. Motion
passed.
Commissioner Kirby moved to sign the letter of
support to the United States Forest Service in
regard to the Proposed Kreist Creek Project.
Chairman Dinning yielded the chair to second.
Chairman Dinning “aye”, Commissioner Pinkerton
“nay” and Commissioner Kirby “aye”. Motion
passed.
10:05 a.m., Commissioners reviewed the proposed
Extension Office meeting room policy.
Commissioners and Clerk Poston discussed their
recollection of the mention of charging fees.
Commissioner Pinkerton said he recalled a fee of
$10 proposed for use over the weekend otherwise
the use of the room was free to such
organizations as 4H, etc. Clerk Poston mentioned
the need for a public hearing to consider
establishing fees since there had not been a
prior rental fee.
Commissioner Pinkerton spoke of the need to
raise the rate of the Restorium’s larger rooms
by the same amount as the lower rooms otherwise
you have different size rooms for the same cost.
Clerk Poston spoke of the Medicaid rate and how
it is based on the level of care and
documentation submitted.
Commissioners and Clerk Poston reviewed various
personnel related matters.
There being no further business, the meeting
adjourned at 11:10 a.m.
