\"The main goal of our program is dairy promotion and dairy education,\" Hapke told the board, describing roughly 30 appearances planned during the summer and noting the county program gives young women experience before potential state-level competition.

Several princesses introduced themselves and described farm work and extracurricular activities. Josie Smooty said her family milks about 73 dairy cattle and asked the commissioners, \"How many dairy farms are in Morrison County?\" Other princesses described chores such as feeding calves and assisting with milking. Board members thanked the group, noted the role of young ambassadors in dairy promotion and invited them to appear at county fair events.

The group said they typically visit schools and nursing homes, participate in parades and make about 30 appearances over the summer; they encouraged residents to visit the malt wagon at county fair events. Commissioners posed lighthearted questions and took a group photo with the princesses.

This item was presented as a community outreach appearance; no formal board action was required or taken.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Morrison County Board Meeting 6.3.25","oneSentenceSummary","The Morrison County Dairy Princesses and coordinator Stacy Hapke appeared before the county board to introduce themselves and outline about 30 planned summer appearances promoting dairy education during June Dairy Month.","taxTitle","Morrison County, Minnesota","taxId",69670,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6216298,"Morrison County proclaims June 2025 Vulnerable Adult Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month",297,1268000,1565000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3652704-7ac0eb5b1b9ea5972e28265a02131686&start=1268&end=1565","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3652704-7ac0eb5b1b9ea5972e28265a02131686/thumbnail_1268000.jpg","/articles/6216298/Morrison-County/Minnesota/Morrison-County-proclaims-June-2025-Vulnerable-Adult-Abuse-Awareness-and-Prevention-Month","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6216298-de922b3b716abbd34b292b41b591d84b/orig.mp4?Expires=1773658078&Signature=VFtpSTEvAS21djkfmzD6v2a~JwaNbfIjGiDhjui7OwqFgiIwuvyvdcj0wrHTFv9rA7FzayTB-~ZePWl1No-2PtApibSnkqFREJZ1mE6dyN4IO263ZY1sFyAtLXwbfuC9uIwwSh4aT~-HSUqKLE-1yFnS8D-dbLTFMJFrGOE-~63dt4n5IlGOITXGLBL43mND9HqKcX-SErTw4n-6cqzCV8OCoOohOqpJoWbsyQr0M5wbm0jQy4D~Yoson0HVhjzOUB8nA05~FP6TSGUtgEfFySl0iqpgZauVrwapWzzjgHhs09X6ou8sqAi76j2xhYJfgIGzIn6k62l99mHzbqnTaA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Morrison County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a proclamation declaring June 2025 as Vulnerable Adult Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month after Health and Human Services staff told the board that 335 reports involving elderly or disabled residents were made in 2024.

\"This is one of those responsibilities that we have as leaders of the county to make sure that within our county we're doing everything we can to protect those individuals in our county who are vulnerable,\" Commissioner Blaine said during the discussion.

Health and Human Services staff explained that many adult-protection cases the agency investigates involve self-neglect and financial exploitation and that abuse is widely underreported because victims are often ashamed or afraid to report it. The proclamation text the board approved urged citizens to work together to reduce abuse and neglect of adults who are elderly or have disabilities.

Commissioner Blaine moved to approve the proclamation; Commissioner David Moran seconded. The board approved the motion by voice vote with aye recorded and the chair declaring the motion carried.

Staff members from Health and Human Services who attended included Sarah Gilson, Tina Tizon and Rebecca Bowman, identified in the meeting as members of the Adult Protection Screening Team. Commissioners thanked staff for the work of investigating reports and assisting vulnerable residents.

The proclamation asks residents and local organizations to increase awareness and to support reporting and prevention efforts; board members noted the count of 335 reports in 2024 and said the figure likely understates the true scope of abuse.","The county commissioners unanimously approved a proclamation naming June 2025 Vulnerable Adult Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month after Health and Human Services staff cited 335 suspected abuse reports involving elderly or disabled residents in 2024 and stressed underreporting.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6216303,"Morrison County approves joining LEAF program to recoup legal costs for parents in child-protection cases",293,1672000,1965000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3652704-7ac0eb5b1b9ea5972e28265a02131686&start=1672&end=1965","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3652704-7ac0eb5b1b9ea5972e28265a02131686/thumbnail_1672000.jpg","/articles/6216303/Morrison-County/Minnesota/Morrison-County-approves-joining-LEAF-program-to-recoup-legal-costs-for-parents-in-child-protection-cases","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6216303-6ba11f2725200bddf5546363b1bd35b2/orig.mp4?Expires=1773658078&Signature=l~6hYKP8Q3XzEPJ0OPuSFYmXkw-~uNjCkXgIWeFdxZAWi~Ze9vlaca2fZ6s4RsOcV9-~4Pid-FsBV2YB-WpfwBnyiow8i65MCMlKK6d2fHKfT6WkSOXXtBrBz4vQwPuhqnuqrdvYMlXLiy-f35e8Jpgz0A4ywiWqm2Vs2MFFNwGhPxTeKO6oApbO81PbqwTRn6SRB1HdNa9mix9Jaa-JLvPOdEPRMn8QTrvfVouBpsBhvK6sAlQY128gD0fxcZH~Nsb10jjzZ2eHle81LTUDvdUzJ45wGQnk7ibrd8DzeMUC8Vyts~RIMEYw7j6wnzoT~VjJjT1I6kqd5O02oe0V~g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Morrison County Board of Commissioners voted to approve county participation in the LEAF program, a state reimbursement process intended to return a portion of legal costs the county incurs representing parents in child-protection proceedings, Health and Human Services Director Nathan Bertram said.

The move authorizes an agreement in which attorneys who provide legal advocacy for parents will report time to the county administration office; administration and Health and Human Services will verify that the parents were served and submit quarterly claims to the state for reimbursement. \"The program is called LEAF,\" Bertram told the board, and the county aims to start July 1 and submit quarterly bill-back reports as the process ramps up.

The county expects the program to recoup roughly $17,000 a year based on preliminary state estimates, Bertram said. The contract with the attorney who currently provides most parent representation, Scott Wunderlich, predates this program; that contract was described as $3,000 per month previously and $3,100 per month for 2025. Bertram said the county believes about half of those contract costs could be recoverable through LEAF, but the amount is subject to state rules and possible budget changes.

Bertram and administration staff described the mechanics of participation: private counsel report quarterly activity to the administration office; administration coordinates with Health and Human Services to confirm service to eligible parents; Health and Human Services submits required case information to the state to pursue reimbursement. Bertram said the county has discussed the approach with County Attorney Mittendorf and the attorney providing services and that the county would not need new staff for the initial implementation.

Commissioner Mitch Winter made the motion to approve participation in the LEAF program; Commissioner David Moran seconded. The motion was approved by voice vote with aye recorded and the chair declaring the motion carried. The record did not show a roll-call vote.

Bertram said participation is voluntary and the county could discontinue if it proved impractical. \"Our goal is to start July 1,\" he told commissioners, adding the first quarter would be a learning period and he planned to return with an update by year end.

Discussion-only items: board members asked procedural questions about eligibility, the need to coordinate with administration and county attorney review. Bertram said Health and Human Services is an IV-E provider and that structure enables the county to submit the necessary time and case information to the state.","The Morrison County Board of Commissioners approved county participation in the LEAF program, a state reimbursement initiative that will track attorney time on child-protection cases so the county can seek quarterly recoupment starting July 1, county officials said.","actionData","errors"]
