Summary
At its Oct. 6 meeting, the Marquette County Department of Human Services Board approved the agenda and Sept. 8 minutes, heard reports on staffing and budget preparations, and received updates on community programs including the food bank and ADRC services.
Mary Walters, chair of the Marquette County Department of Human Services Board, called the Oct. 6, 2025 meeting to order at 1:00 p.m. and the board approved the agenda and the Sept. 8 minutes following motions by Ken Borzick and Margaret (Peggy) Krause, respectively.
The meeting covered routine departmental business and staff reports. Mandy Stanley provided the director’s report, saying the department is working to fill two vacant positions, is implementing an AI software program for the phone system that is expected to go live soon, and will present proposed changes to the 2026 budget to the county’s Executive & Finance committee later in the week. Jennifer Vote summarized the 2024 audit by Baker Tilly, described two audit findings affecting the department and outlined planned internal changes to address them.
Program updates included food bank operations: Vote reported September service levels, Pigfest fundraising activity, a planned walk-in cooler and freezer replacement, and an upcoming Thanksgiving meal fundraiser. Jessie Cody said the Birth to Three program experienced a sudden increase in referrals and subsequent enrollments. Jan Krueger reported increased ADRC inquiries and noted the Transportation Coordinating Committee discussed the 85.21 2026 grant application at its Sept. 18 meeting.
Two procedural motions were recorded: Ken Borzick moved to approve the meeting agenda (seconded by Barb Sheldon) and Peggy Krause moved to approve the Sept. 8 minutes (seconded by Scott Kempley); both motions carried, as noted in the minutes. The board set its next regular meeting for Nov. 3, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. and Mary Walters adjourned the session at 2:10 p.m.
The minutes were submitted in draft form by Jennifer Vote.
