At 9:00 a.m. Jan Winkler, Fremont County CPC/Community Services Director, met with the Board to discuss 24-hour coverage for case management workers. Winkler said the state would probably mandate, in the near future, that a case manager carry a cell phone with them so they could be reached 24-7. Winkler said she feels it is another added expense to the county because they are not a direct care provider. The case manager would be required to call a provider or someone to provide emergency care. There was discussion regarding how the case managers would be compensated for the extra on-call hours. Morgan said she would like to see how many calls they get before making a decision to increase wages.

Beecher Chevrolet gave Winkler a price of $10,500 on a 2008 Impala program car, allowing her $2,000 for trade-in. A 2009 Impala with 10,000 miles would be approximately $13,500 with trade-in. Winkler said she would do some more checking and get back with the Board.

At 9:15 a.m. Steve Whitehead, Maintenance Supervisor, met with the Board to discuss repair of the north courthouse steps. Whitehead said he used the wrong ice melt on the steps and it has caused them to deteriorate and could someday become unsafe to walk up.

Whitehead said he would get estimates for having the steps poured. Hendrickson, aye; Morgan, aye; Larson, aye.

In other business, the following claims were approved for handwritten warrants. Secondary Road Fund: Whitehill Oil Company, Fuel, $10,934.86; Holt Gas Co. Inc., Fuel, $11,850.08.
