ADRC reports staffing changes, ADRC locator launch and administrative requirements
Summary
ADRC Director Kay-Ella Dee reported staffing changes (new hire Lukas Hauptli; imminent retirement of Cathy Bonvicini), a soft launch of a statewide ADRC locator/toll-free number, transfer of Adult Protective Services to DHS Behavioral Health, and a new requirement to submit justification forms to replace positions.
ADRC Director Kay-Ella Dee told the board on Feb. 10 that Medicaid funding remained unchanged and described agency-level changes. Dee reported a soft launch of a statewide ADRC locator and toll-free number to help residents find local ADRC contacts, and she said Adult Protective Services has moved to the Behavioral Health division of the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS).
Dee also announced staffing changes: a new Information and Assistance Specialist hire, Lukas Hauptli, and the upcoming retirement of Disability Benefit Specialist Cathy Bonvicini. On hiring process requirements, she said, "ADRC is now required to fill out a justification form for replacing an employee’s position." The minutes do not record any vote or board direction tied to these staffing announcements.
