4 STAFF REPORT a) Staff Presentation: Early Childhood Services – Grace Bushard, Children
and Family Services Supervisor and Grace Grinager, Public Health Coordinator
Bushard and Grinager discussed services for early childhood development in Cook County. Early childhood development includes both physical and mental health. Grinager looks at preventative aspects of child development through the Public Health lens, and the Children and Family Services team supervised

The county receives an allocation](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052003/6016b4a18b33ee37b811e2e5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
by Bushard, are tasked with responding to needs. Bushard and Grinager gave a PowerPoint Presentation on the importance of early childhood development services.
Grinager shared that a study conducted in the 1970s surveyed children as they grew into adults. The study showed a correlation between ACES (Adverse Childhood Experiences) and how the adults lived later in life. There was a community training in January in Grand Marais regarding ACES that generated a lot of interest. Bushard added that there is a national movement to increase resiliency. For example, Stearns County discovered that domestic abuse was their highest risk area. So, they have embedded two social workers within Law Enforcement. The social workers work with families to build on resources that the family already has and try to focus on their strengths. Grinager added that ACES focuses on the individual child, but there is also a community level that needs to be addressed in order to support children. One community issue is child care. If parents are struggling to find child care, they may not be able to work, and this could cause financial stress. Not having adequate child care in the community is one way that young families struggle. Grinager added that we can think of childcare as infrastructure for the community. There have been longitudinal studies that discovered that the return on early childhood investment is $7 for every $1 invested. Often social services and public health are having to show the difference they make.
Cook County PHHS offers financial assistance programs (i.e. SNAP, MFIP, Health Care, Child Care Assistance Program), WIC, advocacy for the child and coordination of services, PSOP (Parent Support Outreach Program), child protection and welfare, mental health case management, the Follow Along Program, and referrals and collaboration with other entities in the community. Grinager quoted John Bowlby and stated, “If we want to support children, we need to cherish parents.”
Commissioner Storlie shared that she found Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) supportive to parents and asked if it is still active. Bushard and Grinager shared that the program is still active and is run through the school district. Lilja commented that it could be difficult for families to self-identify for the PSOP program. Bushard stated that sometimes the department will get a maltreatment report, but it doesn’t meet criteria for child protection and if needs are identified the worker can reach out to the family to see if they are interested. To qualify for PSOP the child must be under ten.
Commissioner Mills asked if there are any programs in our community that encourage midwifery or the childbirth education. Grinager stated that the department contracts with the clinic to support childbirth education, but the department does not currently a midwife practicing home births. She added that there could be additional support to help with the added stress of travel. There is an idea that supporting women during pregnancy gives her the power to support the child after it is born. Also supporting parents in the immediate transition into parenthood is very important. Commissioner Doo-Kirk asked how these programs cam be measured to see if they are working. Grinager shared that often other studies that have happened on a larger scale have to be relied on. Often times one has to use best practices and their own judgement.

Bushard stated that many times the effects of these programs are not immediate. She stated that there had been some research with the PSOP program. After the research less than half of the families were involved in child protection.
5 DIRECTORS REPORT a) Staff Updates
McIntyre shared that KathyAnn Travis is filling the vacancy left by Pat Strand. She will attend training in St. Paul for SNAP then will go on to learn other programs including long-term care health care programs.
The Adult Services Social Worker interviews were held last week, and there were four interviewees. The department will present a recommendation the board at the next regular Board meeting.
b) Agency Updates
The Community Health Assessment meeting was rescheduled due to the extreme cold. It will be held on February 25th from 1-3 PM in the Commissioners Board Room. An organizational meeting to establish a local mental health advisory council will be held on Thursday to review draft bylaws and the membership application. A subcommittee of the PHHS Advisory Committee will participate in this meeting.
McIntyre added the legislative session is underway. This week the senate bill related to the Child Protection funding withholds will be discussed. The withholds are a product of the Governor's Taskforce on Child Protection, which gave additional funding to county human services departments to meet the requirements for screening and response that were established in 2015. 20% of these funds allocated to counties have to be earned by meeting performance standards. This funding system is detrimental to small counties, and one family could skew the results of the needed performance standards. Funding for children’s residential treatment centers is set to expire as well. Without this funding counties would be responsible for 100% of these cost of care. She added that the Governor’s budget is set to be released this week as well.
McIntyre shared that she had received letters from some of the applicants of the Public Health Community Fund and included these with Board materials. The Oral Health Task Force and Violence Prevention Center both had submitted letters. McIntyre wished to recognize the contributions of these organizations
McIntyre stated that the department is looking ahead at staff presentations for the upcoming year. She asked that if the Board has suggested topic areas, or anything that they would like to learn more about to contact her and let her know. Commissioner Doo-Kirk suggested adding the 2019 PHHS Board Staff Presentation Calendar to the minutes.
McIntyre thanked the board for allowing her to add the new item for board action. The request before the Board is for permission to move forward with identifying a party interested in providing community support services. This

contract position will help to fill the gaps created by the closure of HDC in November. This position will help to provide support services for adults living with mental illness. The department is looking to move forward with identifying individuals who qualified to provide this service. This is a temporary contract position which will allow the department to meet some of the immediate and acute gaps while allowing time for long term planning.
c) d)
6 ITEMS FOR BOARD ACTION a) Approval to move forward to identify a person for contracted, temporary
Community Support Worker position.
Commissioner Storlie asked if this position would receive benefits. McIntyre stated that this person would not, as it is a contract position. Commissioner Bursheim asked if the funds for this position are in the budget. McIntyre explained that the department will be using funds that were historically allocated to HDC to provide this service. There is revenue in the budget to cover this position. Lilja asked who this person would report to. McIntyre shared that this person would be a part of the Child and Family Services team and would report to Grace Bushard or herself. This position would work closely with PHHS' Adult and Children's Mental Health Case Managers who receive clinical supervision from Sawtooth Mountain Clinic. Commissioner Deschampe asked how many clients were served by HDC. McIntyre stated the department received reports on number of clients served while they were in the process of closing their office and it is hard to say as HDC's staffing capacity decreased in recent years.
RES-8-2019
David Mills made a motion made a motion to approve the moving forward in order to identify a person for contracted, temporary Community Support Worker position. Myron Bursheim seconded the motion. CARRIED. unanimously.

Commissioner Deschampe shared that he had attended Sovereignty Day at the capital and had carried the flag for the Grand Portage Band. He added that the chairman from each tribe spoke to the group. Also discussed was sovereignty and government relations. There was a Q and A period where representatives asked a lot of questions. He also discussed Lt. Governor Flannigan’s statement that native communities are often invisible to policymakers.
Commissioner Doo-Kirk shared that previously she had attended an Opioid Committee meeting. She shared that SF 751 and HF 400 are on the legislative docket. What is being discussed is a fee or surcharge or opioid manufacturers. The funding would come to counties on a per-case basis and not based on population. She added that drawing attention to drug addiction and opioids was important to Norman Deschampe.
Commissioner Bursheim shared that the Cook County YMCA Advisory Council had met the night before. He shared that the YMCA looks at the needs of the

community. He added that the YMCA looks at childcare and childcare programs. There is a room at the YMCA for children to stay in before and after school if needed. He shard that the room was used a lot on the days school was closed, and there were also a lot of children using the gym and pool. He added that the YMCA does not close due to bad weather and is always open for a place to go.
Commissioner Storlie shared that last week she had attended the health committee meetings. There was a presentation by Hennepin and Ramsey county surrounding arrest and incarceration and mental health. It was interesting to hear the statistics and figures. Another program that the state is hoping to start is Families First.
Commissioner Mills discussed a session he attended at the AMC conference on Competency Restoration. He shared that he had attended a meeting and it was very intense and felt more like a debate. He added that it is a very complicated and overwhelming topic.
Jerry Lilja discussed the North Shore Health Care Foundation and opportunities for funding in the year ahead. He stated that there are three key issue areas that the Foundation is focusing on, which are: services for elderly, children’s mental health and substance abuse, and medical transportation out of the county. He shared the first step is to involve what is already being done in these areas. There is a fixed contract in which funding was given to Emergency Services, Cook County Higher Ed, and Care Partners for work they are already doing.
McIntyre replied that she is familiar with the Families First initiative. This Federal law will help reform the child welfare system. DHS is working with Counties and Tribes on what the program will look like in Minnesota. She added that Competency Restoration has been discussed with by our department as well, along with the County Attorney. This was a very sudden change at the end of the year, and the department is learning more. McIntyre thanked the YMCA for opening their doors during the extreme cold weather. It was great working with the staff to establish the possible opening of an emergency shelter. She also stated that she is looking forward to looking more into the opioid bills, and how we can work together for our community. She added that she is looking forward to hearing more about Sovereignty Day and learning more on how we can improve work with Tribal Nations.

V. Benefit Determination No payment shall be made for the funeral of any recipient who has resources sufficient to provide a reasonable funeral or where relatives are willing to pay for the funeral.
1. Available Assets
Resources owned by the deceased or responsible relative at the time of death, or within 30 days prior to death, are considered available to help defray the burial costs. “Responsible relative” is defined as the surviving spouse or parent(s) of a minor child.

accounts, solicited to pay for burial expenses will be considered an available asset to offset the disposition costs. Any crowdfunding benefits raised to help pay for medical expenses of a deceased recipient of Medical Assistance will be considered available if the Medical Assistance Program covered all medical expenses. Any outstanding medical bills of the deceased that are not covered by Medical Assistance may be paid by a crowdfunding source as allowable expense, however, any remaining balance in the crowdfunding source will be considered an available asset to help offset the disposition costs. And funds being raised via crowdfunding, benefits, or fundraisers may be subject to recovery for reimbursement of the county paid burial costs.

One home One vehicle, and Up to $1,000 (exclude up to $1,000 if there is a surviving spouse or parent(s) of a minor
child(ren)) 3. Property Evaluation In situations where the deceased person does not have adequate liquid assets for burial
purposes but does own real property, a county burial will not be approved. It will be the responsibility of the funeral home director to submit a claim against the deceased person’s estate, inasmuch as reasonable funeral expenses are a priority claim pursuant to MN Statute §524.3-805 (a) (2).
