1
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:09,760
Call this meeting to order. Commissioner
Grace.

2
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:14,400
Heavenly Father, we come before you
today with gratitude and opportunity to

3
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:18,480
serve our community. We ask for your
guidance as we gather to make decisions

4
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:23,680
that affect the lives of many. Grant us
wisdom, clarity, and compassion in our

5
00:00:21,199 --> 00:00:27,920
deliberations. Help us listen with open
hearts, speak with honor, and act with

6
00:00:25,439 --> 00:00:31,920
justice. May our choices reflect your
will and bring peace and abundance to

7
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:35,760
those who we represent. I ask these
things in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen.

8
00:00:34,079 --> 00:00:39,760
» Amen.

States of America and to the republic

10
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:52,200
for which it stands, one nation under
God, indivisible, with liberty and

11
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,200
justice for all.

» Okay. Are there any uh additions or
deletions to the agenda?

Hearing none, I'll uh entertain a motion
to approve the agenda as submitted.

22
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:28,159

23
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:30,240
» Support.
>> All in favor say I.

24
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:37,040
» I. I.
>> All oppose like sign. Agenda approved.

25
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:44,040
Public comment on agenda items only. And
you are limited to three minutes per

26
00:01:39,119 --> 00:01:44,040
person. Any public comments?

27
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:55,200
I don't really know how things always
work on this, but so um I just wanted to

28
00:01:53,759 --> 00:02:00,880
make sure that everyone had gotten the
supplemental memo regarding the class

29
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:04,640
comp study that the committee submitted.
>> Okay.

30
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:07,920
» Yes, ma'am. So um because we're asking
just for a little bit more time to be

31
00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:12,080
able to talk amongst ourselves plus
additionally um with respect to it

32
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:15,920
obviously you guys can talk about
whatever you want with the study today

33
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:19,200
but we want to make sure that um the
employees have all had a chance to fully

34
00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:23,920
digest everything and get questions
answered and uh I know I had staff that

35
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:26,560
were still digesting it and I had
started having some meetings with them

36
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:31,120
just to make sure that they all
understood what the report said. So

37
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:35,280
anyway, that was the reason and I guess
I drew the short straw so that I would

38
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:38,720
indicate that was why we were asking for
just a little bit more time and then to

39
00:02:36,959 --> 00:02:42,160
bring it back because I know we plan to
talk more the committee does tomorrow.

40
00:02:41,519 --> 00:02:47,920
» Thank you ma'am.
>> Okay. Thanks.

41
00:02:44,239 --> 00:02:54,319
» Any other public comments?
If not we'll close public comments. I

42
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:56,400
need a motion to approve June 26, 2025
meeting minutes.

43
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:01,120
» Mr. Chair.
>> Yes, ma'am. I move that we approve the

44
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,640
June 26, 2025 meeting minutes as
presented.

45
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:08,239
» Second.
>> I have a motion on the floor and support

46
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:11,440
to approve the June 26, 2025 meeting
minutes. All in favor say I.

47
00:03:10,879 --> 00:03:16,640
» I.
>> All oppose like sign

48
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:20,720
number I. We have financial report. Do
you have anything for us?

49
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,159
Um
>> the finance reports in the packet. I

50
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:29,760
didn't know if anyone had any specific
questions on it or not. Okay.

51
00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:31,200
» Any specific questions on the financial
report?

52
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,400
» Mr. Chair.
>> Yes, ma'am.

53
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:39,360
» I do have one question. On the first
page, well, top of the page. Um,

54
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:45,120
interest in rents. It says activi
activity for June 2025 and it's in red.

55
00:03:43,519 --> 00:03:48,159
Um,
does that mean that we missed that this

56
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,200
year?
>> No, that means we're doing better than

57
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:54,159
we expected this year.
>> Okay, good.

58
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:57,439
» Great thing to see that in a negative
amount. Oh, okay.

59
00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:01,840
» So, congratulations to Hope on working
so hard and always continuing. She's um

60
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:06,319
I'll let her speak a little bit more
about it, but she's looking at getting

61
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:10,879
even more interest in here and
constantly bringing new ideas to me on

62
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:14,959
on how we can work together or what I
can do to assist her. So, very excited

63
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:19,759
about what she's doing with interest in
there and um we're very excited that the

64
00:04:17,759 --> 00:04:21,600
interest rates are where they are right
now.

65
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:26,600
» Thank you.
>> Thank you. Anyone else? Hearing

66
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:35,759
none, we'll move on to unfinished
business. There's none available. New

85
00:05:53,680 --> 00:06:04,319
» Mr. Chair. Uh, I would like to move to

86
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:07,520

87
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,240

» Yes, we will. Yes, we will.
>> Come all this way and don't get the

91
00:06:18,319 --> 00:06:24,160
talk.
>> That's okay. So, I just wanted to give

92
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:28,800
you guys a little bit of history on the
medical care facilities and where we

93
00:06:25,919 --> 00:06:32,720
stand right now in Michigan um and what
the millillage would mean to us at the

94
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:39,600
medical care facility. So, there are
currently 425 nursing homes in Michigan.

95
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:44,319
Of the 425, only 34 of these facilities
are county medical care facilities.

96
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:49,280
Nursing facilities in Michigan have seen
a closure rate of 3 and a half% since

97
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:54,960
2020. This includes two county medical
care facilities. Nationwide, we have

98
00:06:52,160 --> 00:07:00,319
15,300 nursing homes, which is a
reduction of 3.3% since 2020. Cass

99
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:03,680
County Medical Care Facility is
currently ranked in number one on the

100
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:08,160
Medicare Compare website and recognized
as one of the facilities in the top 10%

101
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:12,240
rank on both the state and federal
government levels. I'm extremely proud

102
00:07:10,479 --> 00:07:16,319
of the medical care facility. The fact
that Cass County Medical Care Facility

103
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:20,240
remains is such a great sign of our
success as well as our commitment to the

104
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:25,360
community. We have just celebrated our
48th year anniversary at our existing

105
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:30,400
facility which has successfully provided
care based on the same model since our

106
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:33,759
opening on July 14th of 1977.
The need for an increased number of

107
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:38,400
private rooms, assisted living,
independent living, dementia care in

108
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:43,199
addition to a specialized subacute unit
for residents on ventilators,

109
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:47,120
tracheiotomies, feeding tubes, dialysis
and complex wound management as well as

110
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:51,199
a need for beriatric care increasing
daily. To meet this demand, we would

111
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:54,879
need to add additional private rooms,
increase staff education, and purchase

112
00:07:53,280 --> 00:08:00,560
medical supplies that are extremely
costly for specialized acuity. With 48

113
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:04,560
years comes some wear and tear. Our
existing roof needs repair or

114
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:08,720
replacement. Our parking lot needs to be
resurfaced. Rooms have limited

115
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:12,160
electrical outlets. Currently, we only
have one outlet per bed, and some

116
00:08:10,479 --> 00:08:16,560
residents have to be on a concentrator.
We have electric beds that move up and

117
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:20,160
down for staff's ease of transferring.
The lighting throughout the facility

118
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:23,759
also needs updated. Residents have
reported to me that it can be difficult

119
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:27,599
to see sometimes, especially when
they're working on puzzles or other

120
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:31,039
activities. While the millillage may not
allow us to accomplish all of the goals

121
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:34,320
that I mentioned, I feel it's important
to give each of you a perspective on

122
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:38,479
what we're wanting to accomplish at the
medical care facility and how we can

123
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:42,880
better serve our community. Thank you.
>> Thank you. Now, you do a great job.

124
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:46,039
Thank you, Mercedes. Thank you.
>> Thank you.

125
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,279
» Okay,
>> Mr. Chair.

126
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:56,320
» Yes, sir.
>> I do have one question uh concerning the

127
00:08:52,240 --> 00:09:01,640
the millillage uh the ballot language.
What are the extended service options

128
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,640
for the community?

129
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:11,360
» The extended service options would be
our dialysis care. Um we already have

130
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:14,800
our um outpatient therapy that's already
up and running which was part of the

131
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:18,399
last millillage but we have so many
residents in the community now that

132
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:20,480
actually have di dialysis and need
treatment and we can't take them right

133
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:26,720
now.
>> Um transportation is one thing because

134
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:30,959
they go um a typical dialysis patient is
receiving dialysis for 4 hours. So

135
00:09:29,279 --> 00:09:35,040
transportation can't sit and wait for
that person. So, we have to be able to

136
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:38,480
communicate the transportation and have
someone readily available to pick them

137
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:42,959
up even on weekends. A lot of
transportation doesn't work on weekends.

138
00:09:40,959 --> 00:09:47,279
Um, and the supplies that come along
with it. So, dialysis is one huge one

139
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:51,279
for us. Um, I would say within the last
30 days, I think I've denied at least

140
00:09:49,279 --> 00:09:54,640
two residents that have needed dialysis
care and one of them is a Cass County

141
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,920
resident.
>> Okay. Are there any other services or is

142
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:04,080
that just the main one?
>> Um, there are. So, let me look back at

143
00:10:00,959 --> 00:10:09,839
my notes really quick. Dialysis is a
huge one for us. Um,

144
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:13,360
off the top of my head, I'm going to say
that that one is the most important for

145
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:17,920
us and it would take a lot of money to
get that up and running. Um, so that

146
00:10:15,279 --> 00:10:20,000
would be my primary focus right now.
>> Okay.

147
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,240
» Thank you.
>> Thank you.

148
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:25,760
» Question. Anyone? Yes, Commissioner
Grace.

149
00:10:23,519 --> 00:10:30,240
» How many clients or residents do you
have there at the facility right now?

150
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:33,360
So, we we're an 80 bed facility and our
census is at 69.

151
00:10:32,399 --> 00:10:37,800
» Okay. Thank you.
>> Yep.

152
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,800
» Any other questions?

153
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:45,680
» Hearing none. I'll entertain a motion to
move that forward.

154
00:10:42,959 --> 00:10:47,920
» All righty. Got it. Just all in favor.
>> All right. All in favor? I.

155
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:53,680
» I. I.

163
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:34,000
deputy medical examiner for Cass County
to the regular meeting in August.

164
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:38,320
» Okay, thank you. I have a motion and a
second on that.

165
00:11:36,399 --> 00:11:43,440
» All in favor say I.
>> All oppose like sign.

166
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:51,079
That'll be moved to the next meeting for
approval. child care fund budget for

167
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:51,079
fiscal year 2026. Judge,

168
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:57,120
» we come to you every year at about this
time of year to ask for approval of our

169
00:11:54,880 --> 00:12:00,320
child care fund budget. Um, we need to
do it now instead of waiting till the

170
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:04,240
county budget passes because it has to
then go to the state because they

171
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:09,760
incorporated this into their budget. So,
that's the reason for it being early.

172
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:14,079
and Sharon Underwood, my um juvenile
register, she works closely with um the

173
00:12:12,399 --> 00:12:19,200
finance director to make sure that
everything's where we want it to be. So,

174
00:12:16,639 --> 00:12:24,480
it's I don't see that there's any major
changes from last year and everything

175
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:29,360
that was in the write up for this
um explains where we stand. So, I don't

176
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:31,279
know if anybody has any questions.
>> Questions?

177
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:37,519
No,
>> we have to do it every year. Okay.

178
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,040
Motion, Mr. Chair.
>> Mr. Chair.

179
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:44,480
» Yes, ma'am.
>> I move uh that the child care budget be

180
00:12:42,079 --> 00:12:47,600
moved to the regular meeting.
>> Second.

181
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:52,000
» Motion on the floor to move child care
fund budget to the regular meeting in

182
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:57,600
support. All in favor say I. I.
>> All oppose like sign.

183
00:12:54,800 --> 00:13:03,880
» Motion carries.
classification and compensation study

184
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,880
final report.

185
00:13:05,279 --> 00:13:13,760
» That one don't since we're waiting. Do
we have time to Yeah. Carol, could you

186
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:19,360
speak on that? Could is if
we have to wait. I don't know if

187
00:13:15,519 --> 00:13:24,079
there'll be enough time for us to
>> um I you know we asked we the committee

188
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:29,200
asked that this be on the agenda because
we wanted to get the report out right

189
00:13:25,839 --> 00:13:33,360
away and um you know for transparency
because it took quite a while to get it

190
00:13:30,959 --> 00:13:37,519
done. Um but then after we were hearing
some feedback and also because all of us

191
00:13:35,279 --> 00:13:40,959
had not had time to really study it with
a fine tooth comb, we thought that it

192
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:44,959
would be better to air on the side of
caution and allow a little extra time

193
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:50,639
before we would ask you to move it on to
the regular meeting. Um but obviously

194
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:54,880
you all paid for the class compensation
study. By you all I mean the board. So

195
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:58,560
if you have an appetite to move it
forward, but the committee was asking

196
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:02,560
for just a little bit more time so that
we could make sure that we fully

197
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:06,720
understand everything because it's not
only just looking at the report but

198
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,760
figuring out how it would be implemented
and we want to make sure that we're

199
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:15,440
making good recommendations to you.
>> So you all recommend that we move it to

200
00:14:11,519 --> 00:14:20,560
the next cow. Um I
we plan to meet tomorrow and then I

201
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:23,680
think um there would be then we would
make a recommendation about when it

202
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,519
would happen or if we would ask for a
special meeting or what we would ask

203
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:30,880
for.
>> So if we move it forward to the business

204
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:34,800
meeting today, you all have your meeting
tomorrow, then you all could tell us and

205
00:14:33,279 --> 00:14:38,320
we could we could air on the side of
caution that you all might have it done

206
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:42,160
by then and it's business as usual. But
if not at the business meeting, we can

207
00:14:40,639 --> 00:14:44,800
maybe take it off of the
>> I think agenda.

208
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:50,240
» I think we would be wanting it to move
to the next cow if we have to pick pick

209
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:53,760
a option because we want there to be the
ability for there to be full dialogue

210
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:56,639
which happens at the cow.
>> Okay?

211
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:59,360
» Because you all might have questions. Um
we want to make sure that we covered

212
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:03,120
some of the things because as we looked
at the report more carefully, there were

213
00:15:01,279 --> 00:15:06,880
some things that Mark Notley, the
consultant, had told us verbally that

214
00:15:05,199 --> 00:15:11,360
were a little different in his report.
So, we just want to make sure that we

215
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:14,720
fully understand what he said and what
the implementation plan would be so that

216
00:15:12,959 --> 00:15:17,440
when we make a recommendation to you, if
you have questions that we're giving you

217
00:15:16,079 --> 00:15:24,399
the right information.
>> So, I think the motion would be I'd move

218
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:26,720
to move item six to the cow on August
21st.

219
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,399
» Yes.
>> If we move it to the following cow and

220
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,880
then approve it at the following
business meeting,

221
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:36,560
» well, how does that work with our
budget?

222
00:15:34,399 --> 00:15:41,040
because we kind of talked about we would
finalize the budget numbers if and when

223
00:15:39,279 --> 00:15:43,199
we approved
>> the

224
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:46,959
» so it could
>> and would this be would this be a table

225
00:15:45,199 --> 00:15:49,519
then to the next count that's what we're
going to ask the

226
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:52,480
» so there's only been discussion there's
been no motion made or anything we can

227
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:56,560
just
>> end discussion and bring it back at the

228
00:15:54,560 --> 00:16:00,000
next c like there's no motion so there's
no reason to table any you have to have

229
00:15:58,399 --> 00:16:03,759
a motion in order to table
>> so because there's only been discussion

230
00:16:01,519 --> 00:16:06,240
it can just be brought up at the next c
>> all All right, I will not say nothing.

231
00:16:05,519 --> 00:16:10,800
And
>> to answer Commissioner Barrera's

232
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:15,759
question, um it will change the budget.
Obviously, there will be some um

233
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:19,680
implications to that. And so, if we
needed to pass the budget as it was and

234
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:23,279
then make those amendments later, we're
used to budget adjustments. We could do

235
00:16:21,279 --> 00:16:28,800
it that way. If there's time for me to
do that um beforehand, it is a lot of

236
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:32,399
work. Um, but we we will make sure that
it gets done and we'll just make sure

237
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:36,320
that it's very clear when we go to pass
the budget whether those changes are in

238
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:41,040
there or not. I was just very hesitant
to do it beforehand. So, if we need to

239
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:45,279
pass the budget beforehand, um, that's
okay. We'll just bring some budget

240
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:49,519
adjustments back later or build it into
um that motion when if you guys were to

241
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:53,120
approve that class comp to kind of put
those budget adjustments in there at the

242
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,360
same time. So, we can work either way.
We can make it work.

243
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,199
» I just want to be mindful of the
timelines here. Yep.

244
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,800
» Thank you.
>> Absolutely.

245
00:16:58,639 --> 00:17:05,120
» And we did tell employees who asked at
least that the committee's goal is still

246
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:08,959
to ask for implementation sometime in
October based on administration's

247
00:17:07,120 --> 00:17:14,240
capacity because they'll have to be
doing, you know, fiscal year end items.

248
00:17:12,559 --> 00:17:17,679
But we just felt it was worthwhile to
have full discussion and make sure we

249
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:24,199
had all the information correct because
then when you all study it, you might

250
00:17:19,439 --> 00:17:24,199
have more questions. Got it.

251
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,280
Okay.

252
00:17:27,679 --> 00:17:35,440
All right, then we can just go ahead and
move that on to the next PAL meeting in

253
00:17:32,799 --> 00:17:38,520
August.
All right.

254
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:47,760
All right. Then we go to L public
comment and it's limited to three

255
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:53,120
minutes and this is for anything.
>> Well, not anything

256
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:57,600
» for
>> Yeah. Not anything.

257
00:17:54,160 --> 00:18:03,760
» Not anything. Anybody
>> any public comment?

258
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:08,160
If not, public comments closed. We have
no closed session. So, we'll go to board

259
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:12,440
member comments and we'll start down
with Commissioner Grace.

260
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,840
» Nothing here.
>> Commissioner,

261
00:18:14,799 --> 00:18:18,400
» nothing to report.
>> Nothing for Pereira.

262
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:22,559
» Nope.
>> Nothing for Commissioner Jones.

263
00:18:20,559 --> 00:18:25,520
Commissioner Lawrence. Nothing.
>> Not at this time.

264
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:29,000
Nothing for me.
>> What? What?

265
00:18:30,559 --> 00:18:37,039
Let
>> Let me see your notes.

266
00:18:34,559 --> 00:18:41,120
» I don't believe you.
>> All right.

267
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:43,679
Then I'll entertain entertain a motion
to adjurnn.

268
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,919
» Move to adjourn.
>> All in favor say I.

269
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:49,240
» I.
>> Meeting adjourned.

270
00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:57,349
» I don't need your signature.
>> You got my name on that one.
