Discussing and act on Fee Schedule Changes: Michelle reviewed the proposed changes to the fee schedule, which was distributed prior to and at the meeting. The cost of supplies and hourly wage of nurses was increased to $35 (from $20), an increase in mileage fees to $5 and $10. The plan is to do an educational campaign on the changes to explain increase through media and in partnership with the ADRC of Taylor County. Ear flushes are also increasing to $40. Water testing was increased due to the need for follow -up from our department, and changes in testing fees through partners in the City of Medford. We also added a fee for shipping fees for all lab tests to send to those who request them vs picking them up. Suggested donations remain at $5 for immunizations, screenings, blood pressure checks, and ear checks only. Tips are also not allowed directly to individual staff, and all donations are put in a separate line and tracked by our Finance Administrator.

Michelle reviewed the changes to the DATCP fees due to increases at a state level. The fees will be changing in 2026, and the % that we have to give back to the state on a reimbursement schedule. Currently 12% goes back to the state, and local entities keep the remainder. In 2026, it will go to 13%. By 2028, it will reach 15%. For the calendar year 2025, fees collected will sustain the program. Discussion on if locally we increase the fees to 15% earlier to alleviate the need to continue to increase them on an annual basis.

Michelle updated that we will no longer be participating in the bi -monthly tri-county outreach event in Abbotsford at St. Bernards due to the failure to capture Taylor County residents. In June, in partnership with St. Paul’s Church, we will host a similar event to see if the response is more positive for these programs and services. If this is successful, we will look at hosting an event in Gilman at another church which is also part of the Feed My People program. There was a records request sent to Jim Metz for initiatives that support DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion), which may require staff to invest time into providing a summary of all grants and other funding that went to support DEI. Wisconsin Counties Association has been taking the lead on what our response should be to the request from the state committee who put out the request. ➢ Capacity Building, Trainings, & Conferences – Reminder that any Board of Health members who are interested in attending the Wisconsin Public Health Association (WPHA) Conference May 20-22 in Milwaukee to let Michelle know ASAP.

We have been focusing on establishments that are part of the Taylor County Tavern League. We have used specific themes such as hunting for materials like coasters, window clings, and posters. We have also been able to provide these establishments with Narcan to add to their AED boxes if they choose to.

We continue to offer vaccines with all in home nail care and senior site locations. f. Communicable Disease: Over the last month Taylor County has seen an uptick in Pertussis and Mumps. This in turn has created extra hours of work for tracing close contacts and checking vaccine status. Mumps exposure has affected many families in the western part of the county. Pertussis affected Medford Middle School, as well as another Taylor County resident, educational material was distributed to the grade affected and included a mumps handout from the WI DHS. g.

The one group this could potentially affect is the tourist rooming house fees. b. Lead Testing – With the increase of communicable disease our promotion has slowed down. We are actively planning a springtime push with our partners in childcare and school - based settings to reach our target population. We have two funding sources to help support this initiative and staff training time for lead assessors.
