    1. Updated COVID procedures

                                                              i.      Corey shared that Delivery had returned to full mask requirements 2 weeks prior with little controversy.

                                                             ii.      The first case of COVID for staff occurred and the response was followed according to Dane County guidelines.  Service was not interrupted and closest contacts were minimal.   No further infections were detected.

                                                           iii.      Committee members shared their local conditions and issues with masking.  Most of which fell in the category of “masks strongly recommended” and/or “required for staff only.”

    1. Budget Progress and Update

                                                              i.      Corey updated the budget progress for Delivery specifically, which had solidified over the last month, including:

1.      UW System contract locked in through 2023

a.      15% reduction in revenue

b.      Increased service from 4 to 5 days

2.      Delivery fees were approved by the members since the last meeting

a.      The increase for members was 2% from 2021.

3.      In the last 3 weeks we have learned that the state budget passed and was signed by the governor which came with an increase in state aid.  That increase is being devoted to bring Delivery back into balance for 2022.

a.      Caution is being taken because for 2024, there could be alterations in the state aid formula.  With that in mind, it could come to pass that we do not have the same level of resources from state aid that we will have for the next 2 years.

b.      Corey, Kerrie, and Marty have a plan to forecast and plan for all eventualities.

c.       One key provision is to address the county fee structure for Delivery which was entertained with the chance of Marathon County joining the system.  With the new funding, we will go back and form a work-group to evaluate the costs of service and look to establish a new model for as soon as 2023.

    1. Statewide Delivery Update

                                                              i.      SCLS Delivery has taken leadership of the statewide coordinator role just last week.  In that role, we will be working with system partners on delivery collaboration, standards, PLSR model implementation, cost analysis, and data collection.

    1. BNAW

                                                              i.      Corey updated the members on progress of the BNAW group, including recent site possibilities and planning progress
