Chippewa County committee caps Pink Ribbon reimbursements at $3,500 to stretch funds
Summary
The Finance, Claims and Accounts Committee approved a $3,500 reimbursement cap for the Health Department's Pink Ribbon program and also authorized two current reimbursements totaling $4,213.71, aiming to extend support to more county residents.
The Chippewa County Finance, Claims and Accounts Committee on May 13 approved a change to Administrative Policy #1.99.013 setting a $3,500 reimbursement cap for the Health Department’s Pink Ribbon program. Health Officer Karen Senkus brought the request to limit individual reimbursements so the program could assist more residents.
The cap was adopted on a motion by Commissioner Damon Lieurance, supported by Commissioner Justin Knepper; the motion carried on a voice vote. The committee immediately approved two reimbursement requests under the program: request #25-01 for $3,500.00 and request #25-02 for $713.71. Commissioner Jim Martin moved approval of those payments, supported by Commissioner Jim Traynor; the voice vote carried.
The change to Administrative Policy #1.99.013 and the two reimbursements were procedural actions intended to manage a finite program budget. The minutes do not specify the total annual Pink Ribbon program budget or how many residents are currently served; that information was not provided at the meeting and is not specified in these minutes.
Next steps: the policy amendment takes effect immediately as approved by the committee; any further adjustments or requests would be brought back to the committee through regular agenda procedures.
