Approval of Minutes
1. Minutes of Previous Meeting — January 21, 2026
Health and Human Services (HHS) Board Chair Greg Tellijohn asked the Board after reviewing the minutes from the
January 21, 2026 HHS Board meeting if any editing was needed. With nothing noted, the minutes were accepted as
submitted.
Public Comment
Health and Human Services (HHS) Board Chair Greg Tellijohn opened the meeting to public comment for items on or off
the agenda. No public comment requests were submitted this evening.
Business
1. Financial Report for February 2026
Fiscal Manager Fay Strenke reviewed the monthly Health and Human Services (HHS) financials with the HHS Board.
Strenke informed that the financials in the packet are for February 2026. She went on to share that in Children Services
(CS), Purchased Services are budgeted for $212,000 less than this time last year. This reduction is across several CS
programs.
At the Health Care Campus, it is shown that in 2025 they finished overall in the negative, though skilled nursing finished
in a positive. Kitty Rhoades was only open for part of the year, and Orchard View appears in the negative due to the
money paid back for debt service and depreciation. Cash-wise, they covered all of their expenses. Once Feb revenues
are added, all will be at a positive balance.
Strenke also reminded that the HHS 2025 numbers are still being adjusted as revenue continues to come in. We are
showing a negative balance of $479,000, mainly due to out-of-home placements discussed throughout the year.
2. Children Aging Out of the Foster Care System — Children Services Supervisor Jessica Dodge
This agenda item came to the HHS Board per a request by a Board Member. Children Services Supervisor Jessica Dodge
shared information regarding Children that are Aging Out of the Foster Care System. She informed on the numbers of
youth aging out of the foster care system, the current supports available, and the risks they face as they move into
adulthood, such as homelessness. SCC staff work hard to support these youth as they transition into adulthood, from
independent living skills, to connecting them with community resources. Unfortunately, many of these resources aren't
local.
Discussion was had and questions asked.
3. Financial Exploitation Targeting Our Aging Population - Behavioral Health Supervisor Shawn Post Priller
Behavioral Health Supervisor Shawn Post Priller shared a PowerPoint informing the HHS Board about the issues and
concerns of Financial Exploitation Targeting Our Aging Population. She shared that 218 of their investigations in 2025
were initiated as financial exploitation. This is leading to significant financial losses for our aging population. She spoke
of the various ways this happens, but one of the more significant ones is with cryptocurrency. She shared information
on protecting yourself and your loved ones from these scams, as well as information on what to do if you think you've
been scammed.
Some questions asked and answered.
4. Consideration of Public Health Fee Schedule - Public Health Supervisor Laurie Diaby
Environmental Health Specialist Ed Thurman reviewed the proposed 2026 Public Health licensing fees with the Board.
The environmental health program has agent contracts with the Department of Agriculture and the Department of
Safety and Professional Services. He shared that licenses and inspections is a fee-funded program within Public Health,
which means they don't have a need for tax levy dollars. They are looking for approval of a 3% fee increase. This is
enough of an increase to avoid using the tax levy.
Discussion followed and questions answered.
5. Information Regarding the "Men's Shed" Programming- ADRC Administrator Kristin Newton and ADRC Supervisor
Amy Roemhild
HHS Board Chair Tellijohn had heard of this program and asked for more information about it.
Aging and Disability and Resource Center(ADRC) Supervisor Amy Roemhild shared a PowerPoint regarding the Men's
Shed program. She shared that the program started in Australia in the 1990's and moved to the U.S. in about 2017. It is
based on the need for social activities for older men. It is a community-based model to connect men to improve their
mental health and social engagement. Roemhild informed that some ADRC's are leading this and getting programs
started. SCC ADRC has been meeting with other counties to see how they implemented their Men's Shed and what type
of programming they have.
The 2025 -2027 Aging Plan for SCC ADRC includes the concern of isolation and loneliness for the first time, so a Men's
Shed program seems to fit with the Aging Plan. The plan is to run a peer-facilitated programming with social interaction,
information, and include a snack option of some kind. The first meeting of the Men's Shed program for SCC is on
Wednesday, May 6, 2026 from 1:00-3:00 P.M. at the Highway Department in Baldwin, WI. There will be a tour of the
facility, a chance to meet some of the staff, and time to share stories.
Discussion and questions followed.
ADRC Administrator Kristin Newton shared some of the challenges that they may face in sustaining this program due to
limited staff time and financial concerns. There is hope for some donations of food and space, as well as free will
donations.
Request for Future Agenda Items
Health and Human Services (HHS) Board Chair Greg Tellijohn asked for any future agenda item requests. There were no
requests tonight. If items come up, board members are encouraged to contact Chair Tellijohn or HHS Director Bob
Rohret.
Announcements
Health and Human Services (HHS) Board Chair Greg Tellijohn asked if anyone had announcements for tonight.
HHS Director Rohret thanked the presenters for their time and effort tonight. He then announced:
* Update on the SNAP funding (Foodshare) program. The AB180 funding to offset the loss of federal support for the
SNAP program, which would be about $30 million the state would need to come up with. This bill passed the Senate,
allowing the $30 million, another $20 million for an employment training program, and funding for additional
state/consortia staff to help to keep error rates low.
* Colleen Linder is retiring effective May 8th. This is her last HHS meeting. Many thanks to her for her years of service!
Chair Tellijohn announced
* Ruby's Pantry will be held next Thurs. from 4:30-6:30/7:30 at the Armory in New Richmond
* Colleen Linder shared that the new staff has been hired to fill the position at the HHS location in Hudson. She is
currently working 10:00-2:30 M-F. Feel free to stop in and meet her

Behavioral Health Adult Protective Services
Data Report 2025
Adult Protective Services (APS)
Adult Protective Services (APS) worked throughout 2025 to ensure the safety, dignity, and
protection of adults at risk and older adults in St. Croix County. APS responds to reports of
abuse, neglect, self-neglect, and financial exploitation, and partners with community agencies
to stabilize vulnerable individuals, reduce harm, and promote independence whenever
possible.
In 2025, APS continued to see steady demand for services, with high volumes in investigations
and a strong need for protective placement and guardianship-related support.

APS completed a total of 738 referrals with follow up service contacts and case activities in
2025, including the following:
• Adult at Risk / Elder Abuse Investigations: 478
• Guardianships / Protective Placement / Inquiries: 140
• Emergency Protective Placements (EPPs): 4
• EPP Conversions from Mental Health Detention: 3
• WATTS Reviews: 113
Total APS Service Activities: 738
Yearly Comparison
This chart shows a steady and significant increase in total APS referrals over the past five years,
rising from 448 referrals in 2021 to 738 referrals in 2025. This represents an increase of 290
referrals overall.
Overall Change (2021–2025)
• 2021: 448 referrals
• 2025: 738 referrals
• Overall increase: 290 referrals
• Percentage increase: 64.7% from 2021 to 2025
APS referrals have increased steadily over the past five years, reflecting a growing volume of
reports and the continued importance of Adult Protective Services in the community. This
sustained increase likely reflects a combination of community awareness, demographic trends
in aging populations, increasing complexity of needs, and reporting related to financial
exploitation.

Gender Distribution
APS reports were received for both males and females throughout the year, with female cases
slightly higher overall in most months.
This distribution reflects what is commonly seen in APS work, as older adult populations often
include more women due to longevity trends and the higher likelihood of living alone or
experiencing caregiving dependence.
Financial Exploitation
Financial exploitation remained a significant area of concern in 2025 with a reported 218 cases.
APS observed recurring themes of:
• Unauthorized use of bank accounts/cards
• Exploitation by family members, acquaintances, or caregivers
• Scams targeting older adults
• Coercion and manipulation affecting financial decision-making
• Concerns linked to cognitive impairment and isolation
• Improper use of funds by a legal decision maker (POA or Guardian)
APS continues to prioritize early identification and coordinated response to financial
exploitation, including connections to legal resources, banking supports, law enforcement, and
advocacy.
Guardianships, Protective Placements, and High-Risk Support
In 2025, APS managed 140 guardianship, protective placement, and inquiry-related
activities, reflecting ongoing complexity in cases involving incapacity, unsafe living situations,
significant neglect, or the need for structured supports.
Emergency Protective Placements were used sparingly (4 total) and only when necessary to
ensure immediate safety. Three conversions were completed, indicating cases where legal
protective action was more appropriate than court ordered treatment for mental illness.
Annual Protective Placement Reviews
APS completed 113 WATTS Reviews in 2025. These Annual Protective Placement (WATTS)
Reviews represent significant ongoing oversight, monitoring, and case coordination to ensure
client safety, and the effectiveness of protective interventions ordered by the court.
Key Trends and Observations
Throughout 2025, APS identified several consistent trends:
1. Sustained Investigation Volume: Investigations remained the largest category of APS
work, indicating steady community reporting and continued safety concerns for
vulnerable adults.
4
2. Growing Complexity of Cases: Many cases required collaboration with multiple
systems—healthcare, behavioral health, law enforcement, long-term care, and the
courts.
3. Financial Exploitation as a Major Driver: With 218 cases through November, financial
exploitation continues to be a critical area of vulnerability.
4. Demand for Protective Placement Resources: Guardianships and placement-related
inquiries remain high, reflecting gaps in safe housing and support options for high-risk
individuals.
Adult Protective Services continues to be a critical safety net for adults at risk and older adults
in St. Croix County. In 2025, APS responded to 738 total activities, including 478
investigations, 140 guardianship/protective placement contacts, and 218 financial
exploitation cases.
APS remains committed to prevention, timely intervention, and coordinated partnerships to
reduce harm and improve outcomes for some of the county’s most vulnerable residents.

REGULATORY GUIDANCE ON FRAUD PREVENTION MEASURES
REQUIRED OF BITCOIN ATM OPERATORS UNDER THE
WISCONSIN MONEY TRANSMISSION LAW
The Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions – Division of Banking administers
Wisconsin’s Money Transmission Law, which governs the licensure and regulation of money
transmitters doing business in this state. Money transmitters include those engaged in the
business of receiving money for transmission, as well as those engaged in selling or issuing
payment instruments or stored value.1
Virtual currency kiosks, or “BTMs,” are fixed machines placed in heavily trafficked
locations (grocery stores, gas stations, etc.) that enable users to engage in various
cryptocurrency-related transactions. These transactions can involve money transmission. For
example, a BTM user in this state may deposit cash into the machine to purchase cryptocurrency,
which must be delivered to a specific virtual wallet or address. If the wallet or address belongs
to a third party, then the operator has engaged in money transmission under Wisconsin law.
Because ownership of virtual wallets and addresses is anonymous, a BTM operator
cannot feasibly prevent its machines from being used for money transmission. Therefore, the
Division requires BTM operators to obtain a money transmission license and comply with
Wisconsin’s Money Transmission Law.
In recent months, there has been an alarming uptick in reports of fraud facilitated by the
use of BTMs. The Federal Trade Commission reported that Americans lost more than $65
million to scams involving BTMs over the first six months of 2024 alone, often with the same
general modus operandi:
Many of these scams start with a call or message about something supposedly
wrong: they might say there’s suspicious activity on your Amazon account, for
example, or unauthorized charges on your bank account. (Untrue.) The caller will
say your money is at risk, or even that you’re somehow linked to money
laundering or drug smuggling, but they can help. (Also false.) They tell you to
withdraw cash from your bank, investment, or retirement accounts and deposit it
into a specific BTM. This, they say, will protect your money or fix the alleged
1 Wis. Stat. § 217.02(17).
problem. But it’s all a lie. Once you deposit the cash, it goes straight into the
scammer’s wallet.2
Cryptocurrency-related scams accounted for almost 50 percent of the total financial losses from
financial fraud complaints received by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 2023,3 and BTMs
are used for illicit transactions at double the rate of the overall cryptocurrency industry.4 Earlier
this year, the Iowa Attorney General published the results of an investigation finding that the
overwhelming majority of BTM transactions in that state were scam-related.5 These findings
match on-the-ground reports from Wisconsin law enforcement agencies and this Department’s
Division of Securities, which is experiencing a significant increase in the number of complaints
by Wisconsin victims of scams facilitated by BTMs.
Wisconsin’s Money Transmission Law, which took effect on January 1 of this year,
requires BTM operators and other money transmitters doing business in this state to implement
measures to reduce fraud. Among other requirements, the law:
● Restricts them from transmitting a sender’s money if the operator “has a
reasonable belief, or a reasonable basis to believe, that the sender is a victim of
fraud or that the transaction relates to a crime”6;
● Requires them to comply with all currency reporting, record keeping, and
suspicious activity reporting requirements set forth in the Bank Secrecy Act and
other federal and state laws pertaining to money laundering7; and
● Authorizes the Division to deny, suspend, or revoke their licensure if they are
grossly negligent, if they engage in “unsafe or unsound practices in connection
with the business of money transmission,”8 or if their financial responsibility,
character, reputation, and general fitness indicate that it is not in the public
interest to permit them to engage in money transmission in this state.9

5 OFFICE OF THE IOWA ATT’Y GEN., Slam the Scam: Cracking Down on the Crypto ATM Con (last
visited May 2025). Iowa has commenced litigation against two BTM operators in the state for, among
other things, failing to take adequate steps to prevent and mitigate scams facilitated by their machines.
See Iowa v. Lux Vending, LLC & Bitcoin Depot Operating, LLC, No. 05771 EQCE091176 (Polk Cty.,
Iowa Dist. Ct. filed Feb. 26, 2025); Iowa v. GPD Holdings LLC d/b/a CoinFlip, No. 05771 EQCE091172

8 Wis. Stat. § 217.05(7)(a)3, 5, 10.
9 Wis. Stat. § 217.05(7)(a)10.
This document is intended to provide guidance as to how the agency intends to apply
these provisions with respect to BTM operators, in light of the heightened risk of fraud facilitated
by their machines. To ensure safe and sound practices relating to fraud prevention and
mitigation, operators must implement the following measures with respect to their BTMs in this
state:
Daily transaction limits. To mitigate the scale of losses associated with scams, a BTM
operator may not accept or dispense more than $2,000 of cash per day per customer in this state.
This is consistent with BTM transaction limits in effect in other states,10 and it is necessary to
reduce the harm resulting from scams that often depend on sowing confusion, distress, and
urgency in their victims.
Special fraud warnings. In addition to the transaction terms, receipts, and other
disclosures required by Wis. Stat. § 217.09, BTM operators must provide customers with a
specific warning intended to alert them to the possibility they are being scammed:
FRAUD ALERT! Criminals seek to defraud virtual currency customers by
impersonating loved ones, government officials, law enforcement officers, or
charities; threatening jail time; stating that your identity was stolen or your
accounts frozen; or claiming your computer was hacked. IF SOMEONE YOU
DON’T KNOW IS ASKING YOU TO SEND VIRTUAL CURRENCY FROM
THIS MACHINE, DO NOT PROCEED WITH THE TRANSACTION. LOSSES
DUE TO FRAUDULENT OR ACCIDENTAL TRANSACTIONS MAY NOT
BE RECOVERABLE.
This warning must be physically affixed on the front of the BTM, within the field of vision of the
customer, using at least 20-point font. In addition, the warning must be displayed electronically
on the BTM screen each time a customer begins a transaction, prior to displaying any other
written disclosures, and it must be acknowledged by the customer before any transaction may
proceed.
Anti-fraud policies and procedures. A BTM operator doing business in this state must
maintain a written anti-fraud policy that, at a minimum, identifies fraud-related risks, the
operator’s procedures to monitor and protect against those risks, and its process for updating and
revising these procedures to address new or evolving threats and prevention measures. The
policy must also specify the operator’s procedures for identifying and preventing transmission to
virtual currency wallets that have been identified by the operator or reliable third parties as
sanctioned or high-risk.
BTM operators doing business in this state must implement these anti-fraud measures
within 60 days of the date of this guidance. After that time, any operator that (1) permits
10 Minnesota and several other states have established daily transaction limits for BTMs, which generally
range from $1,000 to $2,000 per customer. See Cal. Fin. Code § 3902; Conn. Gen. Stat. § 36a-613(g)(1);
Minn. Stat. § 53B.75, subdiv. 5(a); Vt. Stat. § 2577(a). While some states have authorized higher
transaction limits for repeat customers, the Department is concerned that these higher limits for repeat
customers may exacerbate the losses associated with “pig butchering” and “romance” scams in which the
scammers form longer-term relationships with their victims and drain their funds over time.
transactions in excess of the $2,000 per-customer daily transaction limit, (2) fails to provide
customers with conspicuous warnings regarding known BTM-related scams and frauds, or (3)
neglects to maintain and follow sufficient anti-fraud policies and procedures, will be considered
to be engaged in unsafe and unsound practices in connection with the business of money
transmission. The Division will take regulatory action to address such practices, which may
include suspension or revocation of the operator’s money transmission license and restitution for
scam victims who suffer losses that could have been avoided through these measures.11
In addition to the anti-fraud measures described in this guidance, BTM operators must
comply with all other requirements of the Money Transmission Law, including licensure and
disclosure to the Division of all locations in the state where BTMs are operated.12 Any
companies found operating BTMs in this state without a money transmission license will be
subject to administrative action and penalties, which may include the forfeiture of all fees
received from Wisconsin residents during the period of unlicensed activity.13
11 See Wis. Stat. §§ 217.05(7)(a)3. (licenses may be suspended or revoked for engaging “in unsafe and
unsound practices in connection with the business of money transmission”), 220.04(9)(d) (authorizing the
Division to order regulated entities and their officers “to correct the conditions resulting from” a violation
of law or unsafe/unsound practice).

INVESTMENT SCAMS
Crypto* investment scams, commonly referred to as
"pig butchering" by scammers, cost consumers billions of
dollars. Criminals befriend people to entice them to make
crypto investments through phony apps and websites. The
investments may start out slowly with small sums of money, but it's
a scam aimed at stealing tens of thousands to millions of dollars.
What You Should Know
HOW DO CRIMINALS TARGET PEOPLE & HOW DOES THE CON START
How Does the Con Start?
They target people through texts, dating sites, social media channels,
professional networking platforms and/or other apps. After establishing
trust with their victims, criminals move conversations to encrypted
messaging apps and introduce crypto.
They coach victims into investing using fake platforms. Websites might
look legitimate, but it's all phony and controlled by criminals. Once people
begin "investing," criminals manipulate the sites/apps to show fake
profitable returns. Victims might even be allowed to make initial
withdrawals, but it's a ploy to encourage further investments.
Criminals often pose as
people interested in:
Friendship,
Romantic relationships, or
Business investments.
Using fake profiles, they take time and build
connections with their targets. They claim to
be, or to know, experts who can help investors
make money. To mask their identities, they:
Use fake phone numbers (spoofing)
Rely on deepfake videos, voices or images
Employ artificial intelligence
Protect Yourself
When victims try to withdraw
larger sums of money, they are
told they need to pay a fee or
taxes. But there’s no getting
the money back, even if they
pay the supposed fees or
taxes. In the end, victims lose
everything they invested.
Research before you
invest in anything.
Recognize that pressure
to “act fast” might be a
sign of a scam.
Do not send money to
anyone you meet online
or via apps, and don’t
make investments
based on their advice.
Do not download or use
any unfamiliar apps.
Do not pay for services
that claim they can
recover lost funds.
Do not trust anyone who
offers a “sure bet.” All
investments involve risk.
Recognize that even
video chats and online
trading platforms
which appear real can
be fake.

How Does it End?
2024 ABA Foundation
STOP FINANCIAL SCAMS
Before you withdraw cash
If someone is asking you to take out a large amount of money, pause. You may be in
the middle of a SCAM.
Ask yourself:
• Are you being pressured to act quickly?
• Is someone on the phone telling you what to do right now?
• Were you told to lie to the bank staff, or to family, about why you need the cash?
• Were you told not to talk to anyone about this or keep it a secret?
• Are you afraid, confused, or unsure?
If you can answer “yes” to any of these questions – S T O P.
Don’t hand over your money.
Scammers often pretend to be:
• Law enforcement or government
(IRS, Social Security, “court," “warrants”)
• Tech support
• Bank staff
• A family member or romantic partner
“in trouble”
Scammers can sound convincing, but they
are not who they claim to be.
Cash, gift cards, cryptocurrency, wire
transfers, are all red flags.
What might be happening
A real government official will never ask you
to withdraw money.
